Lawyers vie for top spot in drama line-up (Source) 2008/07/09
Though the tagline for MBC's new Wednesday and Thursday night miniseries "The Lawyers of The Great Republic Korea" is "Love versus money", with two superhero dramas out right now, it should really read, "superheroes versus lawyers".

Following on the heels of the abysmal drama on reporters, "Spotlight", which ended on a sour note last Thursday, this romantic comedy will need more than a few lawyers to compete SBS' with "Iljimae".

The star power of Lee Joon-ki as a Joseon Dynasty superhero in the hit SBS drama has swept viewer ratings nationwide. And celebrities Lee Seong-jae and Lee Soo-kyeong will need to showcase some stellar acting and flawless comic timing in order to nab audiences in "Daehanminguk Byeonhosa" ("The Lawyers of The Great Republic Korea").

Actor Lee, who made his mark playing ruthless businessmen in flicks like "Public Enemy" (2002) and "Shinsukki Blues" (2004), takes his turn on the small screen playing the head of a finance group slapped in the face with a w... |More
Ryoo Soo-yeong joins ranks of hallyu stars in Taiwan (Source) 2006/01/17
Actor Ryoo Soo-yeong is set to captivate the hearts of Taiwanese viewers with his KBS TV2 series from last year entitled "18 vs. 29".

Ryoo's agency, Climax, reported on Jan. 17 that the series starring Ryoo will be shown by Taiwan's ETTV from Feb. 22.

In "18 vs. 29" Ryoo plays actor "Kang Sang-young", who looks confident on the outside but is fragile and pure-hearted deep inside. Sang-young does his best to help his wife "Hye-chan" recover her memory, which she loses in an accident.

An ETTV reporter who has visited Korea recently to interview Ryoo said the actor stands a good chance of succeeding in Taiwan, as his role in the series is expected to appeal to Taiwanese viewers as much as actor Ji Jin-hee's role in the popular MBC series "Jewelry in the Palace", which has recently taken Taiwan by storm.

In response, Ryoo said he wants to set off a new Korean Wave in Taiwan through his somewhat comic and endearing role in "18 vs. 29", which contrasts sharply with his previous, ... |More

Synopsis

This drama takes the audience back to the 1990s. The main character of the drama, Yoo Hye-chan, 29, reverts mentally to an 18-year-old girl after having a car accident. As she recovers her memory and the relationship with her husband, Kang Sang-yeong, she goes through many hilarious and heart-moving moments.

Hye-chan, who was a beauty queen in high school, marries her former classmate Kang Bong-man. In 2005, she turns 29. But after a fierce fight with her husband, she heads to court to file for divorce, unable to control her rage anymore. On her way to court, her car clashes with a truck, and as a result she develops amnesia. She only remembers herself as a senior high schooler, when she was sassy and outgoing, and popular with her peers. As her memory reverts to her adolescent years, she suddenly becomes crazy about the dance group "Seo Tae Ji and Kids", which was popular with teenagers back in the '90s. While looking strong on the surface, deep inside she is soft-hearted and feeble. She likes Jane Campion's movie "Piano" a lot. Although Kang Bong-man, nicknamed "Ice Prince", is the ideal of every girl in Hye-chan's school, she regards him as shallow. The guy she really likes is her senior, Jeong Shi-woo.

But in reality, Hye-chan's husband is Kang Bong-man, whom she despised so much in high school. He changes his name to Kang Sang-yeong when he becomes an actor. In the latter part of the drama, Hye-chan recovers her memory and pursues her dream of becoming a film director. When Hye-chan loses her memory, Sang-yeong becomes preoccupied with mending their shattered relationship. He collects all the messages they had exchanged in the past to help her remember who he is. The replays of Hye-chan's memories, which are presented in diverse ways, add to the drama's tantalizing plot.

Seo Dong Woo created Palus to give men the inexpensive, quality clothing brand that they deserve. Palus maintains that customers shouldn't have to pay expensive prices to get 100% satisfaction, with Seo's line of plaid dress shirts, print sweaters and architectural blazers providing reasonable alternatives to offerings at high-end boutiques. Since its 2007 debut, the brand has expanded to Seoul, China, Japan and the US, while still making quality and affordability their first priority.
