New MBC weekend drama "Friend, Our Story" is the drama version of the film "Friend" that was a hit in 2001.

First episode was on the 27th!

Because the film was such a hit, there is great expectation for the drama, also!

There has been a press conference for the drama and we can see that the drama will be a top class drama from the beginning!

The cast is Hyeon Bin and Kim Min-joon!

Which will it be _ teenage love and friendship, or the real, yet humorous lives of ruthless lawyers? Television fans will now have the chance to explore the two different worlds with the new dramas "Friends, Our Story" on MBC and "The Partner" on KBS2.

With heartthrobs Hyeon Bin and Kim Min-joon as the attractive, yet troubled protagonists, "Friends, Our Story" is the drama version of the mega-hit film "Friend" (2001). The sequel will offer the same dramatic plots revolving around teenage friends and move on to their love lives and other untold stories that were absent in the movie. In the film, top Korean actor Jang Dong-gun played the part of Hyeon Bin, and Yoo Oh-seong appeared as Kim.

The movie-turned-drama was made possible after Kwak Gyeong-taek, the director of the film and now the drama, decided to bring the popular plot back, this time to television screens.

People are beginning to pay more attention to the Goryeo Dynasty with the rising popularity of film "A Frozen Flower" and TV drama "The Iron Empress", both based on noted figures from the Goryeo period. The popularity of these two works has sparked interest in Goryeo, a relatively overlooked era in TV and movies.

Released on December 30, "A Frozen Flower", starring sizzling hot Jo In-seong and Joo Jin-mo, drew one million moviegoers in just four days. As of Sunday, nearly 1.6 million people have seen the movie. This figure far exceeds other top-grossing films – the 2003 film "Friend" took six days to top the 1-million mark and last year's most noted movie "The Chaser" eight days.

"The Iron Empress" aired its first episode last Saturday and posted a 20% rating, which was much higher than the rating on the last episode of its predecessor "The Great King Sejong". The new drama is about a granddaughter of Wang Geon, the founder of Goryeo, who fought off Qidan invasions and political ...| More

Action movies show the human body twisting in unimaginable ways and engage the audience in the art of primal combat. Here come two films, one about the making of an unconventional action movie, and the other which documents the stuntmen who help make such films possible.

'Rough Cut': Stranger than Fiction

Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris's famous fight scene has made the 1979 film "Way of the Dragon" an action classic. Onscreen duels between top actors sell well, as demonstrated in this year's box office hits like "Public Enemy Returns" starring maverick actors Seol Kyeong-gu and Jung Jae-young. Another visible trend here is the "toughening up" of melodrama heroes. It seems to have become a rite of passage set by Jang Dong-gun, who proved he's more than just a pretty face by adopting a thug persona in "Friend". Joo Jin-mo ("A Love") and Song Seung-heon ("Fate") followed.

"Rough Cut" combines these two marking points, and features two handsome stars...| More

At a time when students had to fasten their collars and crease their slacks till they're razor sharp, these four friends strutted around in their own custom-fashioned uniforms. They walked the streets with their heads held high, shoulders straight, and chests out, fearing nothing when they were together. Joon-suk, a son of a vigilant gang boss; Dong-su, the only son of an undertaker; Sang-taek, a diligent student; Joong-ho, who never keeps his mouth shut. Those are the gang of friends who share their fantasies about naked woman on the porn magazine and their awe at Bruce Lee's Kungfu.
Each of their lives takes different turns as they grow up and their paths cross in conflict with each other's. Joon-suk becomes the leading henchman of his father's crime ring and Dong-su is serving for Joon-suk's rival gangs. Sang-taek and Joong-ho find themselves helplessly watching their two best friends wield knives at each other...
