Drama original soundtrack plays an important part in the success of a drama. That is why top singers are invited to take part in the production of OSTs and famous scenes from the drama are included in the OST music videos.

A case in point is an SBS drama titled "Shining Inheritance", which is about to break past the 40% mark in ratings. The love story between the four main characters has earned such a huge following that a special music video is being produced for its theme song, "Love is Punishment". The new music video will be shown on national ! TV networks, cable TVs, and major online music sites, starting in early July.

Top Korean singers like Bobby Kim and Lee So-ra, as well as today's hottest idol group Big Bang have taken part in the OST production of an MBC drama, "Friend, Our Story". The involvement of these talented musicians in the OST has brought attention and critical acclaim to the drama itself.

Sometimes OSTs outperform dramas, as in the case of "Triple", a new...| More

The premiere of the Korean-Japanese movie "Cafe Seoul" starring singer Kim Jeong-hoon from the duet UN was held June 28 in Tokyo. It was attended by filmmaker Masaharu Take, actor Kim Dong-wuk from the TV drama "Coffee Prince", up-and-coming actor Takumi Saito, Jang Seo-won and Koo Bon-woong.

Prior to his military service, Kim Jeong-hoon said in a video message that he chose that role in "Cafe Seoul" because he had always wanted to play a cynical role. He added that he received injuries while filming scenes where he is beaten by gangsters.

He also added that he enjoys the movies produced by Takeshi Kitano and Satoshi Miki, and that he would want to try his skills in a comical role someday as well as the role of a detective or murderer.

Takumi Saito, who also appears in "Cafe Seoul", said the movie is a masterpiece of an innovative genre, and that he was impressed to see the production crew of the movie eat from the same pot and discuss the movie over lunch when it was filmed i...| More

Actor Kim Tae-ho-I died in a motorcycle accident Thursday morning. He was 30.

The former model was driving toward Chuncheon, Gangwon Province, when he crashed into a truck that was parked near the road.

"We were heading to Chuncheon to have lunch after leaving Seoul and stopping by the Soyang Dam", his fellow motorcycle club members told the police.

According to police, Kim's driving license was revoked due to penalty points until Aug. 1.

Kim, who started out as a model and moved on to become an actor, appeared in the movie "Sex is Zero 2" and dramas "You Are Not Alone" (2004, SBS) and "Blue Fish" (2007, SBS). He was set to appear at a charity fashion show next month.

Kim is the latest in a long line of celebrities who have died in motorcycle accidents. Kim Min-soo, a member of pop group Monday Kiz, passed away last April when he crashed into a tree, while model-turned-actor Lee Eon ("Coffee Prince", MBC) also died in August the same ...| More

MBC, the Kingdom of Dramas! Mon-Tue / Morning / Daily Drama Times All Conquered! "My Wife Is a Superwoman", which brought tears and joy to Korean housewives' hearts and recorded a 30% rating, recently came to its end.

Its following drama, "Queen Seon-deok" also started off with a high spirit, setting a 17.1% rating for its first episode. This makes MBC conquer Mon-Tue / Morning / Daily drama times, reaffirming its title as the Kingdom of Dramas.

In particular, MBC's morning drama "White Lie" recorded a rating over 20%—rare for a morning show—, completely securing its middle-aged female audience. This rating is 2 to 3 times larger than those of its rival broadcasters. Moreover, the popularity of "White Lie" led to the unusual phenomenon that a morning drama has the highest rating amongst all programs on Wed/Thu/Fridays by the three terrestrial broadcasters.

In "White Lie", as the conflict involving Eun-young and her son inches closer to its climax, the struggle between Shin (t...| More

The craze for plastic surgery, suicides of celebrities, and singers and actors doing "comedy" gigs on entertainment programs seem to be separate areas of the local showbiz industry. But they are closely interconnected through the same mechanisms in this fast-changing information and technology era.

Kim Yeon-soo, a culture critic, has picked out five keywords commonly permeating our lives to explain and define current popular trends.

In a new book, "Reasonable Bias for Popular Culture", she chose the five ― deconstruction, interaction, multi, image and reality ― which are prevalent in popular culture these days.

This book provides a comprehensive introduction and examines the problems and possibilities of study in this fast changing field.

Employing a unique approach, Kim uses techniques of deconstruction to unpick, analyze and deconstruct contemporary examples of popular culture. The book looks at various fields to question c...| More

Synopsis
Coffee Prince’s Flagship Store is a TV series that revolves around the love life and dreams of four young people who meet together at a café.

Han-gyeol (actor Gong Yoo) is a smart young man who hates to be tied down to one career in his life. Abhorring the idea of joining the family business, he is ordered by his grandmother to manage a café. Unable to disobey his grandmother, he reluctantly takes over the responsibility of running a café and begins to immerse himself in the gourmet coffee business. One day, he meets Eun-chan, a cheerful girl who has an unpredictable personality, and learns the meaning of true love...

< Coffee Prince’s Flagship Store> is a story about a group of young people who find themselves drawn to the gourmet coffee business where they also find love and new hope. The TV series will also show what it takes to run a family business and become a true steward who can oversee a company.


A café with a view.

In the dreary city with towers of concrete structures everywhere… The dynamism of the younger generation brings energy to the lifeless city...
When you commute on a bus through the city, you’ll find yourself looking with pity at the people walking by skyscrapers. But it’s people like those you see in the streets who build these tall buildings and work hard inside the offices to create new hope and dreams for themselves and other people. The city can be an unfriendly place. Then what brings energy and warmth to the city? It’s the hard work of people who have lofty dreams and hopes for a more fulfilling life. Like an embroidery piece that requires many hours of cross-stitching threads with a small, thin needle, the people in the city are the fabric of society. We live winding lives that are not ordinary inasmuch as they are precious to our very existence. And this coming-of-age story about four young people will fill your heart with a new hope.

“There is a special aroma from coffee beans that will move your heart.”

It was in 1896, when King Kojong was served coffee at the Russian Embassy for the first time by a woman named Sontak, who was the sister-in-law of Russian Ambassador Veber. This was the first time and place where coffee was introduced to a Korean. In the 1920s, Japanese cafés, which were called Kikdajeom (喫茶店) began appearing in Seoul. The first café that was opened by a Korean was called Kakadyoo and it was owned by film director Lee Gyeon-seok. At the time, there were three Kikdajeom stores that were popular in Seoul. The cafés that opened after that became popular hotspots among novelists, actors, and musicians.

So cafés became a natural gathering place among people Some people avoided drinking coffee because they believed it was unhealthy but even among non-coffee lovers, they would probably all agree that coffee has a deep, rich aroma. Most people probably stopped once in their lives to smell the aroma of coffee from a cafe.

The smell of coffee will greet you in the morning. At work, co-workers will offer each other a cup of coffee.
Couples drink coffee on their first dates as they get to know each other better. People have coffee after a long day with their loved ones. Coffee is a drink that is ubiquitous in our lives. It brings people together.
A cup of coffee is a time for people to enjoy a short break from their busy lives …

“Relentlessly fine-tuning your core competence.”

A cook who can make a dumpling in 3 seconds. A candlemaker who can make holes in 120 candles in seconds. A newspaper delivery man who carries a load of newspapers weighing 300 kilograms on his back. Have you ever seen these remarkable people? These people became skilled at what they do because they focused on what they were good at and practiced it over and over. They sweated over jobs that other people overlooked and became skilled workers. It’s time to reflect on what is truly important in building a successful business instead of focusing on the bottom line,

Casting

The moment when their lips touched…
He is smart and witty but he is a restless soul who cannot commit himself to one line of work.
He is a self-absorbed person and he doesn’t like bothering other people nor does he like being bothered himself. He is an independent person and he shows no interest in the lives of other people. But deep inside, he is a warm person.
There are many things to do in life but he doesn’t want to be stuck with inheriting the family business. His grandmother forces him to manage Coffee Prince one day...
Unable to disobey his grandmother, he discovers the rich aroma of coffee while working at Coffee Prince and he also fall sin love with the unpredictable Eun-chan...

After her father passed away, her family was able to make ends meet through the help of relatives for 8 years.

When he meets strangers, he greets them with a friendly smile and talks freely about a range subjects with them but he never reveals his inner feelings.
He stays away from the family business unlike his family members and relatives and finds himself as the outcast of the family, which makes him a lonely soul. He comforts his soul by turning to music.
He is in control of every aspect of his professional career and is good at what he does but due to his past relationship with Yoo-joo, he is not comfortable around woman.

Being free from the desire to have true freedom!
She madly sings and dances while also madly falling in love. And she wants to be free from all those mad habits of hers.’
She is a passionate woman. Her alluring hair seems to have the powers of Samson. Each strand of hair seems to give her a wicked intellect. She is a free-spirited nonconformist. She is liberal, sexy and very delicate.
Because of her nonconforming attitude, it is easy for her to make new friends but they also find her personality to be too liberal.
Although she is never intimidated by anything in life, she has a tender soul and is emotionally vulnerable.
Although she loved Choi Han-sung, she left him to go to New York and pursue her passion for painting.
She later realizes that she is still in love with Han-sung and returns to Seoul but Han-sung does not take her back...
