Simultaneous production of drama and its theatrical version increases efficiency
Generalization of digital shooting breaks down barriers of human resources & technology
Respect of different ways of producing broadcast programs and movies brings higher efficiency

Combination of movie & TV drama continues to evolve. Exchange between Chungmuro, Korean equivalent to Hollywood, and Yeo-ui-do, hub of broadcasting networks, was born as filmmakers produced TV dramas and drama PDs made movies. The exchange has brought the boom of 'Cross Over' such as 'TV Movie' and 'Theatrical Version'. Recently, there is an increasing number of works whose two versions as TV drama and movie were simultaneously made even in the stage of planning. The film and broadcasting industries expect this kind of 'format convergence' to be a chance to increase efficiency and quality in each genre and call for thorough preparedness based on understanding of features that each medium has.

South Korean actor Hyeon Bin and Chinese screen beauty Tang Wei-wei are set to appear in "Manchu" (working title), which will go into production at the end of the month in the United States, Boram Entertainment and M&FC announced Friday.

The "My Name is Kim Sam-soon" star will play the role of a man on the run who falls in love with a woman who is on special leave from prison, to be played by Tang, who is best-known as the heroine of Ang Lee's epic romance "Lust, Caution".

The Korea-U.S. joint project ― Korea's Boram Entertainment and M&FC and the Unites States' North by Northwest ― is a remake of the 1966 masterpiece "Full Autumn" (Manchu) by Lee Man-hee. Kim Tae-yong, the award-winning director of "Family Ties" ("The Birth of a Family") will helm the project.

The movie will be "a modern interpretation" of the classic movie and will be set in the United States, said the producers in a statement. It is slated for theatrical relea...| More

Whenever Chu Heon-gon, a member of the Korean pop group Clazziquai who goes by the name Alex, hears the word nakji-bokeum, it reminds him of the time he broke up with his girlfriend.

The 31-year-old can still vividly recall the tears streaming down his face while he finished the spicy dish of pan-broiled octopus and red pepper. However, the word castella, a type of sponge cake, will always remind him of his mother, as he often ate the sweet and moist cake as a child while waiting for her to come home from work.

The singer details these and other past experiences and memories associated with food in his recently published book, "Alex's Spoon". While he's usually known for crooning to his fans on the stage, he's no stranger to the kitchen. Fans had a chance to see a new side of Alex when he cooked on the celebrity reality show "We Got Married".

His relationship with food and cooking started much earlier on, though. After his family emigrated from Korea to Canada, he trained part...| More

Former K-pop singer and actress Jeong Ryeo-won is poised to advance to Hollywood.

According to press reports, Jeong, 27, visited the United States last month and met with officials from an unidentified Hollywood studio. She was also courted by Hollywood last year but this is the first time that she has had a meeting in connection with her entry into Hollywood.

A local movie expert praised Jeong, saying, "She is highly qualified to enter the United States for acting".

An official from Jeong's agency confirmed her Hollywood plan and said, "She will also be active in South Korea".

Some South Korean and Korean American actors such as Kim Yoon-jin, Lee Byeong-heon, Daniel Henney and Jang Dong-gun are now active in Hollywood.

Synopsis

For all average girls in the world...
According to a research, 73% of Korean women believe that they are fat. That's seven out of ten. Our lead character Kim Sam-Soon is not an exception. She just gained 7kg after having her heart broken.
She is a 29-year-old single who has an average life. She didn't go to college. She doesn't have her own apartment or a car. She doesn't have a boyfriend. Although she has baker's license, she got fired last Christmas Eve. She is one of us.
Women like her dream of romance that happens only in the movies, but they also know that it won't happen to them. They believe that they'll be happy as single if they love their work. Many of them dream of traveling the world for their whole lives. Sometimes they flutter when younger men try to flirt with them. They begin to feel pressured because they are afraid of aging. They still dream of something big happening though, something that will awake their forgotten dreams.
A Romantic Comedy Full of Tastes
The drama is full of interesting and attractive characters. All characters have unique personalities and intriguing traits.
The plot of the drama is simple. But it has something for everyone. You will be able to relate to some characters in the story. They get their heart broken, get over their unsuccessful romance and move on. They work, get stressed, laugh and cry. They seek comfort and treat their emotional wounds.


KIM, Sam-Soon A 29-year-old baker (played by Kim Seon-Ah)

Sam-Soon is an average fat woman who is always full of energy. Her father owns a rice cake shop and she's his third daughter. She used to be a basketball player in high school. She's curious and talks to herself often. When stressed out, she'll eat, drink and sleep. She loves food. She knows how she wants to live her life. She was heart broken when her boyfriend cheated on her. She tried to get over him, but it wasn't easy. One day, her boss asks her out and makes a proposal. But he doesn't want her to be his real girlfriend. He suggests Sam-Soon to pretend to be his girlfriend for a while. Sam-Soon thinks awhile over his proposal. She never liked her boss from day one. She swore that she would never fall for such a guy like him. He's selfish and cold. But now, she desperately needs money to help save her parents' house. She finally decides to take his proposal and signs the contract.


HYUN Jin-Heon A 27-year-old restaurant owner (played by Hyeon Bin)

Jin-Heon suffers from his sad past. He had everything until the unfortunate accident 3 years ago. A handsome and smart man with promising future, having wealthy hotel owners as parents, it seemed that he had nothing to fear. 3 years ago, he made a mistake while driving, and the accident killed both his brother and his wife in the car. Jin-Heon injured his left leg from the accident. And later, his long loved girlfriend left him without giving him any explanation. He became cold-hearted and twisted after the accident. His feeling of guilt was too much to bear. He becomes to despise himself and convinced that he doesn't deserve to be happy. When he was in such great agony and pain, the woman he loved left him with no explanation. She only asked him to wait for 3 years. That was it.


YOO Hee-Jin Jin-Heon's old girlfriend (played by Jeong Ryeo-Won)

Hee-Jin is a beautiful woman who is smart, kind and rich. She's the only daughter of a wealthy family. She was born with a silver spoon. She met Jin-Heon in high school and they were together for 6 years. They were deeply in love. When her parents moved to America, she decided to stay with Jin-Heon in Korea. She wanted to be his wife. She had to leave the country to cure her disease. She had several painful surgeries and 2 years of treatment. She fought her disease and fear of death. She only wanted to live so she could go back to Jin-Heon. Finally, her condition was remarkably improved. She goes back to Korea to see her boyfriend Jin-Heon. When she asks Jin-Heon to come back to her, he tells her that he's in love with someone else, Sam-Soon.

KIM Henry , adopted Korean American doctor (played by Daniel Henney)

Henry was adopted when he was two years old by a very religious American couple. He lived in the States since then. He has practical and scientific mind yet warm and generous heart. He is a gentle person, but doesn't like to talk much. Since he grew up in the states, he doesn't speak much Korean. He fell in love with Hee-Jin when he first met her as her doctor. He did everything to cure her as a doctor. Although he knows that Hee-Jin doesn't love him as a man but only respects him as her doctor, he expects nothing from her. He knows that Hee-Jin is fighting cancer only to go back to Jin-Heon. He is just happy that he can help her and take care of her. When Hee-Jin suddenly left America without completing her treatment period, he follows her to Korea. As her physician, he stays at the same hotel with her and continues taking care of her. His only concern is her health and happiness. He truly hopes that Hee-Jin will be fully recovered soon and finally get Jin-Heon back.
