'Troubleshooter' plays it too safe (Source) 2010/09/02
By Lee Hyo-won

Seol Kyeong-gu's latest screen persona coincidentally shares the same name and a similar profile as Won Bin's knife-wielding madman in "The Man From Nowhere", which is currently making waves at the box office: Tae-sik in "Troubleshooter" is a former police officer whose wife is killed at a crime scene and Won's Tae-sik is a retired secret agent who saw his wife die in a similar way. But there is a stark contrast between the disheveled Seol scrambling about, getting knocked out by toilet seats and the like, while one of Korea's prettiest faces struts around in a finely pressed black suit, effortlessly defeating opponents in stylishly choreographed action sequences.

Yet Seol, one of Korean cinema's most trusted actors, need not worry about such superficial comparisons ― particularly since he has his all too familiar and much-loved "Public Enemy" franchise to back up the scruffy guy-next-door-saves-the-day premise of the film.

Seol's bona fide filmography thu... |More
Won Bin: 'I Dreamed of Becoming Actor After Watching Action Movie' (Source) 2010/08/04


The movie "The Man From Nowhere", which will be released on August 4, is a very violent movie with realistic action scenes. The fight scene in which Tae Sik, who is the former member of a special forces unit, devastates a criminal organization that kidnapped a neighbor girl contains violent scenes such as splattered blood and broken bones, but the scene is also filled with resolute and well-made action sequences.


An interviewer met actor Won Bin, who has been "reborn" as an action hero, at a café located in Samcheong-dong, Jongno on August 2. He had previously filmed battle scenes in the movie "Taegukgi" and he had carried a gun when he filmed the movie "Guns and Talks", but he mentioned that ... |More

Formerly known as "Bang-ja Chronicles"
Bang-ja bumps into the noble Mong-lyong. When Mong-lyong decides to take him under his wing, Bang-ja gets to share a room with the wise, MA. While sharing the room, MA teaches Bang-ja of all the arts of seduction. When strolling the park one day, Mong-lyong meets Chun-hyang, the daughter of the owner of the park, and he instantly falls in love and encourages Bang-ja to arrange a meeting with her. But Bang-ja’s feeling for her was also the same and he seeks advice from Ma. Ma tells him of Chun-hyang’s real intention to win over Mong-lyong for his social status. Without knowing, Mong-lyong urges for a second meeting with Chun-hyang. Bang-ja’s anger towards Mong-lyong for using his nobility to attract her heart triggers his plan to use Ma’s art of seduction. Successfully he wins her heart and body, but under the condition that he will help her to get married to Mong-lyong. Everything seems to go as planned but when Mong-lyong finds out their relationship, whole thing is about to go wrong.
__________
"Bang-ja Chronicles" (BANGJAJEON) is a motion picture twist to Chunhyangjeon, a classic Korean romance novel. In this new film, Kim changes its plot - in the original novel, it's a love story of Mongryong and Chunhyang, but in the film, Bangja, Mongryong's servant, joins in to make it a love triangle.

Kim Joo-hyeok plays Bangja, Ryoo Seung-beom as Mongryong and Jo Yeo-jeong as Chunhyang. The film opens on June 3.

The original novel has been adapted into movies several times, most notably as SEONG CHUNHYANG in 1961 by Shin Sang-ok. Starring Choi Eun-hee and Kim Jin-gyu as Chunhyang and Mongryong, respectively, it was one of the first full color-cinemascope Korean films. Veteran director Im Kwon-taek also made his own adaptation CHUNHYANG in 2000, starring Jo Seung-woo and Lee Hyo-jeong.
