Drama Sets in Suncheon: Journey to Past (Source) 2008/09/11
By Brian Deutsch
Contributing writer

One of Suncheon's claims to fame is a set used for the filming of the drama "Love and Ambition", a soap opera that ran on SBS in 2006. As a matter of fact, the set has been labeled the "Love and Ambition Set" on some signs around town. I also used to be able to visit and have it nearly all to myself. But that may change soon as officials in the South Jeolla provincial city are expecting business to pick up.

The local government expects not only to increase tourism there but also to attract more productions through a "Suncheon Familiarization Tour" that will acquaint filmmakers and writers with not only the set but other local attractions as well.

The city has been promoting the set more heavily in recent weeks, featuring it more prominently on the Suncheon Web site and posting larger signs around town. This comes after other dramas and movies have used it recently to replicate older authentic scenes that are not so commonly found these day... |More

Week's New Movie Premieres (Source) 2007/01/19
Time for a check of movies opening this week.
Among the Korean releases are a sequel to a comedy about some tough grandmas and the restored animated classic Taekwon V.
There's also a musical comedy and an animated feature from Hollywood.
Here's Son Heekyung.

The comedy "Mapado 2" is the sequel to the 2005 hit movie about a group of eccentric grandmothers who are the sole residents of a strange island called Mapado.
The original attracted more than three million moviegoers in Korea.
Actor Lee Moon-sik plays a former detective whose secret mission is to track down the first love of a businessman from a big company.

People in their 30s and 40s probably remember the animated action classic "Robot Taekwon V" from their younger days.
The movie is about a heroic robot who uses the Korean martial art taekwondo to maintain peace in the world.
Many remember his trademark move of flying high in the sky, and fighting evil.
Taekwon V wears the helmet of the legendary Korean Admiral Yi... |More
Familiar Jokes on 'Mapado 2' (Source) 2007/01/18
By Kim Tae-jong
Staff Reporter

The new film "Mapado 2" is a sequel to a 2005 comedy, a story about a strange island where only a bunch of old grandmothers live.

The original was an unexpected hit, selling over 3 million tickets nationwide _ a huge success, especially given its low production budget of $3 million and its lack of big stars.

However, compared to the original, the sequel may be seen as a lazy and boring voyage to the same destination.

Most crewmembers from the original are on board for the sequel with only a few new members hired, including the director, Lee Sang-hoon.

But despite a few efforts to differ from the original, the film promises a safe journey with the familiar jokes and humor, which are, however, funny and enjoyable.

In the film, former detective Chung-su (played by Lee Moon-sik) takes a secret mission from a dying president of a big company. The businessman wants to see his first love before he dies.

The only information the detective ha... |More
