| [Interview] Into Kim Hyo-jin's down-to-earth charm (Source) |
2008/07/17 |
The main female character of popular drama "I Am Happy - Drama" (SBS), screen star Yoo Ji-tae's lover, an actress who does good deeds, a fashion trend setter… There are many phrases that can describe her. This week's guest is Kim Hyo-jin. She was in a fluster as she came into a small Japanese restaurant, saying that filming on set went longer than expected. The pre-ordered noodle and fried dishes came out then and the environment was perfect for drinks. She has grown from a high school star into a charming actress who takes care of work, love, and community. Kim Hyo-jin's charm twinkled during the three-hour interview.
Arguing with him? There's not enough time to love…
Natural physical contact? We rehearse plenty
As soon as she sat, she drank, saying, "Drink Talk has to start with a refreshing glass of drinks". She's sweet. "I turn red with even one glass". She grimaces but takes a sip without a word. Within 3 seconds, her face flushes. I'm a little sorry. "My limit is two gla... |More

| 'Delivering Love' ("Beyong All Magic") Doesn't Come Through (Source) |
2008/06/12 |
By Lee Hyo-won
Staff Reporter
Cinema allows artistry to soar high and far, allowing reality to mix freely with products of far-fetched imagination. However, there exists a marked difference between being surreal and just plain baffling. While visually pleasing, "Delivering Love" ("Beyong All Magic"), the directorial debut of Jo Nam-ho, is, unfortunately, the latter. The movie thoroughly disappoints, particularly since it stars some of South Korea's biggest actresses like Shim Hye-jin and Kim Soo-mi.
Unfolding in a rural village with scenic fruit plantations and quaint traditional houses, the film is a visual delight. A painter character does wonders to an old truck and other mundane spaces. But the film fails to keep the narrative on track and viewers will ultimately find themselves lost. If not, then you will be most likely be distracted by the intolerably cliched and corny script, which breaks the flow of the drama by inspiring giggles at all the wrong moments.
