Actress Kim Tae-hee said Monday that she had been severely hurt by a controversy over her acting ability.

"I admit that there are problems in my acting. But I want to see `Iris' mark a turning point in my acting career", said Kim amid cheers in an interview with Yonhap News, referring to the TV drama now being broadcast on KBS TV. "I have hardly been shaken by groundless rumors but the dispute over my acting is most painful".

Kim, 29, is said to be one of the most beautiful actresses in the country. She received a bachelor's degree in fashion design at the prestigious Seoul National University.

Kim rose to stardom through her portrayal of an evil stepsister in "Stairway to Heaven", the SBS TV series, in 2003.

"I have a complex about myself. After starting my acting career, I found my future bleak. Still, I feel it very difficult to act", said Kim who reportedly achieved perfect scores in every subject during her three years in middle school in Ulsan, the southeastern indust...| More

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.

Actor Kwon Sang-woo has established a cosmetics company, Natural Tears, and will become an advertising model for its brand "Tears", the company's PR agency said.

Tears has been named after his nickname "Mr. Tears", which was given by his fans in Japan and other Asian nations in recognition of his tear-jerking acting in the SBS-TV drama "Stairway to Heaven". He starred in it with actress Choi Ji-woo.

It will be the first time in two years that he will appear as a model in a commercial for cosmetics goods.

Natural Tears will open its first outlet in Myeongdong, Seoul, in December. Kwon will run the company as its CEO and will hold autographing sessions at the grand opening.

It is his second business launching following the opening of the coffee shop chain Tea'us in Myeongdong in May.

The star made headlines last year when his secret romance with actress Son Tae-yeong became public. The two tied the knot in September and are expecting a baby in the spring....| More

Moviegoers and drama lovers flipping through photos of Incheon and may think certain places seem vaguely familiar. With beaches, islands, an amusement park, Chinatown and Korea's largest airport, it's no wonder this metropolitan city has established itself as a filming location for movies such as the recent Cannes favorite, "Thirst".

"There seem to be all kinds of interesting sites in Incheon", says Yook Sang-hyo, director of the 2004 film "Hi, Dharma 2: Showdown in Seoul". "The beautiful roads by the seaside and the busy ports make it possible for the city to be a great background for any kind of movie".

He's not kidding. According to the Incheon Film Commission, a total of 27 movies and dramas were filmed in various locations around Incheon in 2008. Thirst, for instance, found the perfect spot last year in a factory near Incheon International Airport.

But fans may also remember the locations of some popular hits from a while back.

One of the most famous on-screen sites in...| More

Even before K-pop, Filipinos were long fans of imported dramas.

Soap operas and drama series have become a staple for daytime and primetime viewing in the Philippines.

In the 1990s, Mexican telenovelas became the mania, with huge hits like "Rosalinda" and "Marimar" attracting ratings above 50 percent.

Asian dramas, including Korean, have become hits in the 2000s.

The huge demand from viewers for Asian telenovelas has prompted Philippine TV stations to import Korean and Taiwanese dramas.

Top Korean drama series (locally called "Koreanovelas") like "Lovers in Paris", "Full House", "My Name is Kim Sam-soon", "Stairway to Heaven" and "Coffee Prince" were imported and dubbed in Filipino, instantly becoming hits.

The success of "Dae Jang Geum" (or "Jewel in the Palace") in Korea was also replicated in the Philippines and many other Asian countries.

The Taiwanese drama "Meteor Garden" was also a ratings success when it ai...| More

Best Sad Drama Ever by riceavocado

T
his drama is amazing.

The story starts off with Song-Joo (SJ) and Jung-Suh (JS) as childhood best friends who are just starting to discover that they mean more than that to each other, before JS's father marries an evil witch Step-Mother and inherits a Step-Daughter that is jealous and wants to take everything away from JS.

SJ is a relentless kind of lover. He will never forget JS no matter happens and even when she is proclaimed dead he refuses to accept that the woman he loves has left his side. He searches with no luck until one day he runs into Han Ji-Soo, JS has been in a terrible accident 5 years ago and lot all memories. He is convinced that she is JS and even though nobody believes him, he attaches himself to Ji-Soo. The pain on his face, man, it's a pain that I have not seen acted so well anywhere.

SJ and JS will drag you along this 20 episode ride, and you will begin to hope that maybe you could find someone like them. Someone who really just loves you so much, that that's all that matters. That they would never forget you, no matter what.

The soundtrack plays in tune to the sad story that surrounds they characters, and is tuned in perfectly to the scenes, just like in most dramas, you'll certainly want to pick it up upon completion of the series.

Some of the plot lines are plots that people don't want to see in television shows, but how they are weaved together is what makes them so good. I like to go for happier stories, but I'll make an exception for this show, it's sadness done right. Even though I just finished the show some time ago, I would go back and watch the whole series again, just because it was that good. Not just specific moments, but every episode.
