2010 Korean Cinema Lineup (Source) 2009/12/27
By Lee Hyo-won
Staff Reporter

The past year represented hope and revitalization for Korean cinema. While problems such as piracy linger on, the forecast for 2010 cinema appears promising with diverse projects in the making.

Cineastes are finding inspiration from the past and are bringing remakes of Korean classics as well as unique period movies. Big action flicks are gearing up for the 60th anniversary of the Korean War (1950-53) while much-anticipated sequels will cater to fans. Furthermore, a couple of Hollywood projects will head here for shoots.

2009 in Review

Both commercial blockbusters and unique indie films pulled the industry out of a three-year slump and cineastes made their mark near and far.

Kim Choung-ryoul's documentary "Old Partner" rewrote box-office history for the genre, while Yang Ik-joon's "Breathless" made waves by sweeping almost two dozen prizes at international festivals. Park Chan-ok's low-budget drama "Paju" was well-received among critics an... |More
Movies to Watch in 2010 (Source) 2009/12/07
The film industry is already preparing for next year. Many renowned filmmakers have returned to Korea to produce movies about war and sequels to hit movies.

Director Im Kwon-taek will produce his 101st movie "Scooping Up The Moonlight". Directors Kim Tae-yong and Im Sang-soo will produce remakes of "Late Autumn" by Lee Man-hee and "The Housemaid" of Kim Ki-young, respectively. Films about war will also be introduced to mark the 60th anniversary of the Korean War.


◇The return of maestros

"Scooping Up The Moonlight", which will be produced under the auspices of the Jeonju City government, is Im Kwon-taek's first film to be shot with digital cameras. It is a story about seventh-grade public servant Jong-ho, who wants to become a fifth-grade official. To achieve his dream, he takes charge of the traditional Korean paper "hanji" at the municipal government and becomes completely mesmerized by it. Jong-ho is played by actor Park Joong-hoon, who will appear in a Lim productio... |More

Kwon Sang-woo Resumes Romantic Role (Source) 2009/01/13
By Lee Hyo-won
Staff Reporter

Newly wed actor Kwon Sang-woo was caught walking down the aisle once again ― this time with actress Lee Bo-yeong in the upcoming movie "More Than Blue" (working title "A Sad Story").

As its title suggests, the film is about heartbreaking, unrequited love. The wedding shoot, revealed to the press Monday in a Seoul cathedral, featured Kwon's character walking down the aisle with the woman he loves (Lee Bo-yeong) ― but only to marry her off to another man (Lee Beom-soo).

Kwon returns to the romance genre after foraying comic or tough guy parts, such as in "Fate". He said he drew inspiration from his own marriage for his latest role. "I think being married enables me to think more deeply about playing melodramatic parts. Like my movie character, Kay, I also needed a lot of courage to bear the fruits of my love", he said.

The "Stairway to Heaven" star made headlines last year when his clandestine romance with actress Sohn Tae-young be... |More
2008 packed surprises (Source) 2008/12/11
Data released by the Korean Film Council (KOFIC) on December 2, revealed a number of modest budgeted films in the top five of most successful films in 2008. However, the list is lead by the big budget blockbuster "The Good, the Bad, the Weird" by KIM Ji-woon. The kimchi western attracted 7.03 million viewers, undoubtedly, partly due to the presence of the stars SONG Kang-ho, LEE Byeong-heon, and JEONG Woo-seong.

Number two was 2008's biggest surprise, the sleeper hit "The Chaser". NA Hong-jin's low budget thriller mobilised 5 million Koreans. "The Chaser", its director NA, and its leading actors KIM Yoon-seok and HA Jeong-woo also received much critical acclaim along with major awards.

KANG Woo-seok's "Public Enemy Returns" accumulated 4.2 million spectators. SEOL Kyeong-gu reprised his role in the third instalment, this time pursuing a criminal played by JEONG Jae-yeong. JANG Jin delivered the screenplay of the third most popular film.

"Forever the Moment", became one of th... |More

Alternative title : "Gosa", "Midterm of Blood"

Official competition piece at the recent Puchoen (Bucheon) International Fantastic Film Festival (PiFan). About 200 days prior to the college entrance exam, a school manages a cram course for its top 20 students. Evaluated only by their grades, school life is so stressful that some students suffer from serious mental problems. A sudden piano solo of ``Fur Elise'' wakes up the sleeping students and a screen shows the top student, Hye-yeong, dying in a water tank. A voice asks the students to solve a question, to decide the fate of Hye-yeong.

nice movie,,...the plot is great and interesting....reminds me of my classmates, I'm a cream A student and we are all striving to be no. 1, doing all sorts of things like cheating and backstabbing....im just hoping the movie will not happen to us...c
The concept seem to be similar with Battle Royal from Japan, but I have to see it first before giving it a mark. Well, it's main theme is an attention getter...
