Princess Ji-woo is back. Choi Ji-woo, referred to as "Princess Ji-woo" by her Japanese fans and a famous hallyu star with her tall, model-like figure and innocent looks, is returning to the small screen with SBS drama "Celebrity's Sweetheart".
Choi, who has been acting for 14 years, will play, not surprisingly, beautiful actress Lee Marie, who falls for a poor yet smart ghostwriter, played by fellow actor Yoo Ji-tae.
The press conference, which was held last week, was full of not only reporters, but also overseas fans hands with flowers and presents for the 33-year-old actress and fellow actors.
"I was inspired by the movie `Notting Hill'. My goal was to offer a full gift set of `melo' (melodramas)", said Boo Seong-cheol, the producer.
Indeed, the short clip of the drama showed the perfect tools for a perfect Korean melodrama: a beautiful, yet lonely top actress, a poor but talented writer-to-be, a rich chaebol heir and even a nosy tabloi...| More

Two 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. Headed by the talented film/television actor Kim Joo-hyeok and his beautiful co-star "Jumong" actress Han Hye-jin, this drama - arguably Korea's first dramatic series on wine - hopes to lure viewers in with lush scenes of France and the intoxicating combination of wine and romance.
Responses to the upcoming drama, however, have been mixed.
"Since this is a drama on wine, I hope that its content does not twist the truth in regards to its topic", one viewer wrote on the show's official bulletin board. "I am saying this because I am worried that a lot of snobs will come out of the woodwork after ...| More

Change of guard ceremony at Deoksugung (palace)
On Oct. 14, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Tourism Association declared "Visit Korea Years 2010 through 2012" with a view to attracting 10 million foreign tourists a year. About 7 million inbound tourists visited Korea in 2007. What should Korea do to attain the goal of attracting 3 million more foreign tourists per year? Foreign tourists visiting Myeong-dong and Insa-dong, two renowned attractions in Seoul, may provide clues to the answer.
The main street in Myeong-dong was wet on the afternoon of Oct. 23 with rain that had fallen after a long drought. It was not as crowded as usual, probably due to the wet pavement. But there were more Japanese tourists than ever before. As the Korean tour guide for a group of Japanese high school girl students quipped, it looked as if Myeong-dong were like a street in Tokyo. The yen strengthened against the won that day, exceeding 1,400 won per 100 yen. This means a Japan...| More
