 By Lee Hyo-wonStaff Reporter "The Relation of Face, Mind and Love" is the first installment in the seven-part TV soap-meets-movie series TeleCinema Seven, which brings together top Korean stars and directors and Japanese writers. Popular Japanese scriptwriter Shizuka Ooishi presents a romantic comedy akin to "Shallow Hal" that attempts to ponder the classic question of how much looks weigh in when it comes to love. Note the emphasis here is that it "attempts" ― and ends up being no more than a clichéd mess of B-movie parodies, third-rate slapstick and characters who are completely devoid of any graspable personality or appeal. The only concrete effort the film makes is in whipping up some fancy hardware and props such as expensive sports cars and glitzy interior spaces. The movie thus trips over its own theme and showcases style over substance. The movie could have been, at best, a mindless diversion for fans of the leading actors, perhaps as a straight-to-DVD p...| More | |||||||||||||||||

Established in 2007, the third Tokyo drama fest awarded its Grand Prize to Nippon Television Network's "AISHITERU - KAIYO" starring Izumi Inamori and Yuka Itaya. ...| More | |||||||||||||||||

 TV star Kim Myeong-min hopes to make waves in the film world.Actor Kim Myeong-min is returning to the big screen. And this time he hopes to make a larger splash than his last effort, the 2008 crime film "Open City", which had an average showing at the box office. Kim actually made a name for himself - and gained legions of fans - for his recent work as a coldhearted doctor in the TV series "The Great White Tower" and as an aggressive conductor in the program "Beethoven Virus". Now, he is again looking to gain a foothold in the movie world, taking on an extremely challenging role as Jong-woo - a Lou Gehrig's patient - in the upcoming film "Closer to Heaven". The movie, which hits theaters Sept. 24, depicts a tragic love story between Kim's character, Jong-woo, and his wife, Ji-soo - played by actress Ha Ji-won, the heroine of the summer blockbuster "Haeundae".
