Kim Ha-neul is returning through a new movie!

Until now, she has been a melodramatic queen through "Lovers of 6 Years" with Yoon Kye-sang, "Ditto" with Yoo Ji-tae, "Almost Love" with Kwon Sang-woo, and "Too Beautiful To Lie" with Kang Dong-won.

In the recent drama "On Air" with Park Yong-ha and Lee Beom-soo she has been the sophisticated and high class character. And in "Romance" with Kim Jae-won she has been the cute and sweet actress who battles with love....| More

Popular actress KIM Ha-neul and YOON Kye-sang (of the former band G.O.D.) are faced with a relation crisis in their sixth year together. PARK Hyeon-jin directed and wrote "Lovers of 6 Years". She previously wrote scenarios for some of director LIM Sang-soo's projects.

KIM and YOON's characters live next door to each other and are in a long term relationship. Their relationship encounters some problems while at the same time they start having feelings for someone else who they met through their work.

KIM Ha-neul became a star when she starred opposite of KWON Sang-woo in the comedy "My Tutor Friend". They reprised their success with another comedy, "Almost Love". KIM also played in the romantic drama "Ditto" alongside YOO Ji-tae and in the horror film "Dead Friend".

What happens when you've been dating for six years? Kim Ha-neul and Yoon Kye-sang show that the initial sparks are long gone but a deep sense of familiarity settles in, through the upcoming film "Lovers of 6 Years", slated for release Feb. 5.

During a press conference last week at a Hongdae club in northern Seoul, director Kim Hyeon-jin explained, "I wondered how it would be for couples that date for a while, say six years. After six years, you grow so comfortable with each other that some break up and some overcome this and get married. I think six years becomes a bit of a turning point".

"I was able to relate very much to my character, who is my age and generation", said the lead actress. "I think that when men date someone for a long time they tend to unintentionally hurt their girlfriends with their insensitivity", she said. "A simple `I'm sorry' can easily make up for it, but they don't seem to know".

Time now to check on the week's new movies.
From Hollywood comes a fantasy based on a bestselling novel and as for domestic fare we have a cheeky story about a very confident woman.
Here is Lee Jeewon.
We begin this week with "The Golden Compass", based on a bestselling and award-winning book of the same title.
The book is the first of author Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" trilogy set in an alternative world where people's souls appear as demons.
The epic story begins when a teenage girl named Lyra tries to rescue a friend kidnapped by a mysterious organization.
Newcomer Dakota Blue Richards stars as the main character playing alongside screen heavyweights, including Nicole Kidman.

Now if you're a fan of Han Yeseul you can't miss the next film "Miss Gold Digger".
Han plays Sin Misoo, a successful career woman with looks, skills and the determination to get any guy she wants.
Misoo can turn into just about any man's dream girl and she proves it by going out with four m...| More

"My Love" attempts to mimic the famous romantic comedy formula set by "Love Actually" (2003), and the effort itself deserves some attention because the Christmas holiday season is just around the corner, and young Korean couples are keen to watch sweet, feel-good films with the snow falling.

"My Love" has some common grounds with "Love Actually". Obviously, as the title suggests, its target audiences as well as screening time are already set at around the year-end. Both films present multiple couples. But that's the end of the tenuous similarities, and everything else in "My Love" is dramatically inferior to those featured in "Love Actually".

In fact, Lee Han, who has directed "My Love", has some credentials when it comes to romantic comedy in the domestic film market. He previously made romantic features such as "Lovers' Concerto" (2002) and "Almost Love" (2006). But Lee is not Richard Curtis, a master of romantic comedy who made "Love Actually" and wrote "Four Weddings and a Fu...| More

Dal-rae has a desire to be an actress. They always bear grudges against each other with their private weak parts, and they quarrel everyday, however they are great friends who care for each other.
One day, Dal-rae goes out with Young-hoon who is in the same Taekwondo group as Ji-hwan. Young-hoon is a student representative of the department as well as an all-round athlete. Ji-hwan is also dating a girl, Ji-min, a gorgeous glamour girl who has a well-shaped figure.
It seems that there would be no problem between the good friends Ji-hwan and Dal-rae, but somehow a strange atmosphere arises after they start seeing someone else. Everybody knows it is more than just a friendship, except Ji-hwan and Dal-rae.

Almost Perfect But Not Quite by Rogue

J
i Hwan and Dal Rae have been friends since childhood. And as is natural for two people who have been friends that long, there's an unexplained closeness and comfortableness between the two. It's the kind of intimacy and coziness that blind them to the truth - that the two of them are in love and must have been since childhood, a truth that is obvious to others except to the people that matter: Ji Hwan and Dal Rae. Their light bickering, which is but normal for friends, suddenly turn into nasty arguments when both decide to date other people. This conflict in their relationship make them evaluate why each is bothered by the other seeing someone else.

A tragedy strikes and Ji Hwan loses his leg. Distressed by this unfortunate accident, he disappears from home and cuts all communication with everyone he left behind, including Dal Rae. After a year of soul searching, so to speak, he comes home, bearing a screenplay he wrote. This screenplay falls into the hands of Dal Rae. Will this revelation of Ji Hwan's feelings now cost him their friendship?

This movie reunites Kwon Sang Woo and Kim Ha Neul, stars of my favorite movie, My Tutor Friend. Expectations are high, therefore, that this movie will equal, if not surpass, the former. I was a bit disappointed, though. It's a beautiful story in itself, and I find no fault in the actors, but overall, the movie came out rather short in delivering the goods. There was probably too much, or maybe too little, of everything that I don't quite know what to make of it.

The dynamic slapstick blended well with the trips down memory lane but it gave way much too early to the melodrama, which, in my honest opinion, need not have been there. Or maybe it should have been.

I really don't know what to say with this movie except that I feel it should be perfect, but there's a flaw somewhere, somehow.

7 kimchi dishes out of 10.
