Contributing writer One of Suncheon's claims to fame is a set used for the filming of the drama "Love and Ambition", a soap opera that ran on SBS in 2006. As a matter of fact, the set has been labeled the "Love and Ambition Set" on some signs around town. I also used to be able to visit and have it nearly all to myself. But that may change soon as officials in the South Jeolla provincial city are expecting business to pick up. The local government expects not only to increase tourism there but also to attract more productions through a "Suncheon Familiarization Tour" that will acquaint filmmakers and writers with not only the set but other local attractions as well. The city has been promoting the set more heavily in recent weeks, featuring it more prominently on the Suncheon Web site and posting larger signs around town. This comes after other dramas and movies have used it recently to replicate older authentic scenes that are not so commonly found these day...| More | ||||||||

'Just a few steps away is the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum and Napoleon galloping in front of the French army'.
April 04, 2008 They may not be as sophisticated as Universal Studios, as entertaining as Disneyland or as glamorous as the studios of major movie producers in Hollywood. Yet Fantastic Studio and Aiins World, located back-to-back in Bucheon, Gyeonggi, are perfect locations for people who want to lose themselves in a world of fantasy and fiction. Bucheon, located southwest of Seoul near Incheon and famous for its film festival every July, is Korea's version of Neverland. Starting the trip at Fantastic Studio, a working film studio that is open to the public, you pass through a black tunnel that opens onto a vast film set. The set is a replica of the streets of old Seoul, and you will be transported back to the Korea before the economic success in the past few decades. Fantastic Studio has seen better days, to be honest. The paint on the walls of the studio is peelin...| More | ||||||||

Actress Kim Se-ah was indicted without detention last week on a charge of DUI. She had been drinking in Sinsa-dong, southern Seoul and drove herself away from the bar in a company car.
Kim was stopped at a sobriety checkpoint and failed a breathalyser test. Her driver's license was suspended for 100 days. Her blood alcohol level was 0.5 percent. She told police she drank two glasses of wine at a bar in Sinsa-dong with friends. Kim Se-ah, an ex-gymnast, has worked in soap operas and movies since 1996. She once claimed to have been born in 1976 but it was later revealed that her birth year is 1973. On the day Kim was arrested, the police suspended 1,221 driver's licenses in Korea of people with blood alcohol levels between 0.05 to 0.1 percent and revoked 789 licenses for DUI where the blood alcohol levels were above 0.1 per cent. Kim closed the visitor's section of her personal Web site after the incident, after more than 20,000 people left negative comments on her homepage. She appe...| More | ||||||||
Han Eun-jeong returns to the small screen with the lead in SBS drama "My Dearest Love", who, betrayed by her lover, is determined to get even with him. "She has loved him so deeply that she is hurt deeply", Han told the Chosun Ilbo. "She turns into a venomous woman. But if viewers can identify with her pain, they will understand her".But the low viewing figures -- a mere half of the ratings of MBC hit drama "Jumong" -- don't matter: what matters is seeing the number of enthusiastic fans increase gradually as the characters come alive. As evidence, a number of passionate soap buffs crowd its free web board to argue in support of either of the two leads (the man is played by Kim Dong-wan). But both sides praise Han's portrayal of a mother's ardent love for her new-born baby. "We have discovered a different side of Han", one said. The actress says this is only the beginning, and she will surprise them even more when she has a chance to unleash her full anger against her lover. "...| More | ||||||||
