Actor Hyeon Bin's long hair and baggy jacket do not make him look any different from what he looked like before. But the way he appears in the movie "I Am Happy" is anything but the same.

Though the actor is currently preparing for his next production in the U.S.--the remake of the movie "Late Autumn"--he squeezed time from his busy schedule to attend the screening of "I Am Happy". We met with him on November 16 at a cafe in southern Seoul.
"I Am Happy" was screened at last year's Pusan International Film Festival as the closing film. It finally opened more than a year later. Hyeon Bin said, "I wasn't worried about the late opening and about how many viewers would come to see it. It was quality time for me because I thought a... |More

"It's the brightest, most cheerful and happy movie among all the movies I've made so far", said Heo during a promotional event for the film Tuesday in Seoul.
