Synopsis

A firefight occurs at the “Bridge of No Return” in the DMZ (De-Militarized Zone), and two North Korean soldiers are killed. The North claims that the incident was a flagrant attack by the South Koreans, while the South claims that one of their soldiers was kidnapped. In order to solve the dispute, the NNSC (Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission) dispatches half-Korean half-Swiss Army Intelligence Bureau officer, Major Sophie E. Jean. With no cooperation from either side, the case appears to be unsolvable. However, Major Jean discovers that the number of bullets fired from the pistols and the number found at the scene differ by one, and she begins to dig deeper into the backgrounds of the soldiers involved. Subsequently she finds out about an encounter previous to the firefight when North Korean soldiers saved a South Korean soldier from a mine. The story unravels to reveal a friendship developing among the soldiers. On the night of the firefight…

In the last few years, Korean films, TV dramas and pop music have become immensely popular abroad, a phenomenon known as the Korean Wave. This is the 25th in a series of essays by a select group of scholars and journalists looking at the spread of Korean pop culture in Southeast Asian countries and beyond. - Ed.

"Hallyu", or the Korean Wave, marks the long overdue re-emergence of Korean culture into the global arena. Korean culture's newfound international vogue situates South Korean cinema, TV melodramas, K-pop, and computer games as active participants in the transformation of world culture.

These "domestic" electronic audio-visual cultural creations are no longer limited to just the Korean peninsula and the global Korean diaspora despite that they are produced in the Korean language - a language that is not one of the globalized imperial languages such as English, French, Spanish, Japanese, and Chinese.

Despite this linguistic barrier, hallyu is now a recognized agent of gl...
Director PARK Chan-wook's "I'm a Cyborg, but that's Ok" (Ssaibogeujiman Gwaenchana) received the Special Mention of the Jury at Fantasporto 2008. KIM Ki-duk won the Special Jury Award for "Breath" (Soom).

"I'm a Cyborg, but that's Ok" stars Im Soo-jeong and JUNG Ji-hoon (also known as the singer "Rain" (Bi)). The film is a romantic comedy, Park Chan-wook style. Taiwanese actor Chen Chang and the Korean actors HA Jeong-woo and PARK Ji-ah were casted by KIM Ki-duk for "Breath", a romantic drama set in a prison.

PARK got international attention with his 2000 hit "JSA - Joint Security Area" (Gongdong Gyeongbi Gooyeok/JSA) when it was invited by the Berlin International Film Festival in 2001. "JSA - Joint Security Area" won both the Blue Dragon Best Film Award and the Grand Bell Best Film Award, the two major Korean cinema awards, among a slew of other domestic and international awards.

Fantasporto is situated in the Portuguese harbour city Porto. The 28th edition ran from Febru...
Sin Ha-gyoon – one of Korea's more daring and impressive actors – will next star in the thriller "The Devil's Game" alongside veteran actor BYEON Hee-bong. SIN's character – a poor artist – will be lured into a dark game involving a large sum of money and the exchange of bodies, made possible through technology. The film opens in January 2008.

YOON In-ho ("When I Turned Nine") directs and the cast also features LEE Hye-yeong ("Low Life") and Eun-seong ("Dasepo Naughty Girls" - "Dasepo Girl"). BYEON played the grandfather of the girl who was taken by the monster in The Hos.

SIN played eye-catching supporting roles in popular films like PARK Chan-wook's "JSA - Joint Security Area", and "Welcome to Dongmakgol". In addition, he has been outstanding in leading roles in critical acclaimed alternative films, portraying off beat characters, including "No Mercy for the Rude" and "Save the Green Planet".

The New York Times ran a story in June headlined "Korea emerges as epicenter of Asian film and music", which focused on the rise of Korean films in world cinema.

The story said Asian genre films, especially those from Korea, have built a steady following in the West since Hong Kong cinema broke out of Chinatown theaters.

The Korean monster blockbuster "D-War", directed by comedian-turned-director Shim Hyung-rae, earned $1.55 million in the U.S. on its opening day Sept. 14. The figure was the highest for a Korean film in the U.S. The flick opened in 2,275 theaters across the nation.

Shim's movie is different from other Korean movies in that it was made outside Chungmuro, a road in Seoul known as the Korean Hollywood.

Chungmuro was named after legendary Korean Admiral Yi Sun-shin, who earned the posthumous title of Chungmugong, meaning "martial subject of loyalty". The "gong" was dropped and replaced with "ro", or road.

Movies made in Chungmuro witnessed phenomenal growth ...
