Staff Reporter Hallyu stars Park Yong-ha and Kwon Sang-woo are moving into the television spotlight where, until recently, pretty boys, shiny sports cars ("Boys Over Flowers") and even a historic hero ("Moon River - Iljimae Returns") dominated. The leading men of new dramas "The Slingshot" (KBS) and "Cinderella Man" (MBC), respectively, are expected to heat up the already star-studded drama casts, which include So Ji-sub, Kim Nam-joo and Jeong Ryeo-won. Written by Song Ji-na as the final piece of her trilogy ― the first two being "Eye of Dawn" (1991) and "Sandglass" (1997) ― "The Slingshot" is expected to capture the reality of today's money-driven world. "We focused on the world of men and women who are willing to sacrifice their lives for money, a world where money dictates. But I still tried to make a lighter, enjoyable and somewhat touching series", Yoon Sung-sik, the producer, said at a press conference last week in northern Seoul. Park,...| More | ||||||||||||||||||
By Lee Hyo-wonStaff Reporter The box office can be as difficult to predict as the stock market, and South Korean cinema in particularly is suffering amid the global financial crisis. "The Scam", the country's first stock market movie, will undoubtedly prove to be a smart investment. Unlike its scamming characters, newcomer director Lee Ho-jae-I invests the right way, with a solid, "inflation-free" script and the magic chemistry of a talented cast. The crime drama draws in viewers without becoming too technical, as it is more about the human desire for wealth than financial matters. Losing tens of millions of won in the stock market can be only a click away on the Internet. "Click", and hopeless debtors head to the Han River. Hallyu star Park Yong-ha (SBS's "On Air") sheds his sleek image to play Hyeon-su, a victim of such a fatal click. After losing everything, he spends five years glued to the computer screen as an unshaven, full-time "ant" (individual investor). He eventu...| More | ||||||||||||||||||
Mutual growth is key, tourism official says
The hit TV show "On Air", a drama-about-a-drama which was the talk of the town early last year, had four main characters - a star actress, played by Kim Ha-neul; her agent, played by Lee Beom-soo; a scriptwriter, played by Song Yoon-a and a TV producer played by Park Yong-ha. But there was actually one more star: Taiwan. The cozy back streets that the characters frequented and a beach where they strolled were among various tourist attractions in Taiwan that appeared in the drama. And behind the scenes was Wang Jen-te, head of the Taiwan Visitors Association's Seoul office. He was the one who initially suggested that a Korean drama be shot in Taiwan. With the airing of "On Air", the number of Koreans visiting Taiwan has increased considerably. Tourist programs related to the drama have also been a hit. Wang, who was posted to Seoul in 2001 and has served here for eight years, refers to Korea as his "home away from home". His ...| More | ||||||||||||||||||

Staff Reporter Newly wed actor Kwon Sang-woo was caught walking down the aisle once again ― this time with actress Lee Bo-yeong in the upcoming movie "More Than Blue" (working title "A Sad Story"). As its title suggests, the film is about heartbreaking, unrequited love. The wedding shoot, revealed to the press Monday in a Seoul cathedral, featured Kwon's character walking down the aisle with the woman he loves (Lee Bo-yeong) ― but only to marry her off to another man (Lee Beom-soo). Kwon returns to the romance genre after foraying comic or tough guy parts, such as in "Fate". He said he drew inspiration from his own marriage for his latest role. "I think being married enables me to think more deeply about playing melodramatic parts. Like my movie character, Kay, I also needed a lot of courage to bear the fruits of my love", he said. The "Stairway to Heaven" star made headlines last year when his clandestine romance with actress Sohn Tae-young be...| More | ||||||||||||||||||
