Screenplay by Lee Man-hee (이만희), Sin Geun-ho (신근호)
117min | Release date in South Korea : 2003/05/16Two mega dramas of cinematic proportions are taking over weekday nights on SBS.
Though both promise to deliver, at best, a saccharine dose of romance and melodrama, great fodder for one and top stars for the other forecast a successful winter for the major broadcasting channel. Starting tonight, the long-awaited and aptly titled "Terroir" brings the magical world of wine to audiences.

The futures of many child stars were generally depressing.
The childish image and the weight of the years were obstacles for child stars to become adult actors. But even among them, there are stars who have succeeded in transforming into adults. The IS Entertainment Team has picked out the best 5 actors who started out as child stars. The first is the heroine of "New Heart", Kim Min-jeong. Kim Min-jeong, who's charm comes from her big eyes, debuted in 1990 when she was eight, with MBC Best Theater "Widow". In 1992, she received the 'Child Actor Award' from KBS, received the 'Youth Award' in 1998, and received much love for her smart acting. Her official change to adult acting came in 2005 with the drama "Fashion 70s" and in 2006 with the movie "Forbidden Quest".

The second is Moon Geun-yeong, who is transforming from the nation's younger sister to e...| More | |||
