Staff Reporter The New Year has finally set in, with much anticipation that it will be a year filled with blessings. The year 2009 is the Year of the Ox, according to Chinese astrology. The ox is the second animal in the zodiac and often associated with honesty, faithfulness, strength and gentleness. But it also sometimes represents stupidity and stubbornness. The animal was an indispensable asset for Korean agriculture, as it was used to plow the soil here day after day.

The basic character of oxen is success through hard work and sustained effort, finding no benefit in concocting get-rich-quick schemes.

LEE Jeong-jae plays a skilled fighter who somehow attracts fights. His character falls in love with KIM's character and takes on her boss, a notorious criminal leader, to free her. LEE told reporters that he wanted to try his hand at playing a different kind of character, a comical loose cannon type of character like in "The Accidental Gangster and the Mistaken Courtesan".
