[HanCinema's Film Review] "How to Use Guys with Secret Tips"
2013/07/20
The minute this movie opens, the screen explodes with outrageous vintage colors and visual design. It was several minutes before I could fully process what was going on. The premise behind "How to Use Guys with Secret Tips" is pretty straightforward. The title sums up all you really need to know. But even though the concept is strong enough on its own, director Lee Wonsuk is determined lay out as much of the plot in as stylish and mind-bending a way as he can think of. That's definitely the strong point of this movie, is that it just has so much fun with its vintage backdrop, that the cheery mood becomes infectious. The characters in the movie know exactly how dumb the idea of using guys with secret tips sounds,...More

[HanCinema's Actor Spotlight] Lee Si-young
2014/06/28
An actor's image is a very important thing in South Korea and when it comes to dramas, role choices very often shape viewers' opinions about the artist. Or at the very least, the viewers' general feelings towards them. There are cases of stars who might avoid taking on roles that do not advance a cool and poised persona and comedy is not something everyone dares to touch, especially in physical comedy form. Lee Si-young is someone whose image is a bit different and whose role choices have never been about how graceful she can look, but about how fun she can be. Having been active for no longer than 6 years, Lee has been in a variety of drama and movie roles, quite often within the romantic comedy genre,...More

[HanCinema's Film Review] "Marbling"
2014/01/11
Mal-hee (played by Hwang Woo-seul-hye) is a thirty three year old statistics teacher who's never even so much as kissed a guy. But honestly, the woman has bigger problems than that. Her father is...well, the guy's not a monster or anything, but his presence looms ominously over the film, even though he's absent for most of it. This is a man with a much more libertine sex life, in spite of his age. But he's apparently incapable of discussing matters of amour with his daughter, leading to some warped perspectives considering her value as a woman. And all of these awful ideas are only confirmed with the arrival of Se-yeong (played by Kim Sa-hee), a much more sexually adventurous art instructor who is, in a word, horribly unlikable and repulsive,...More

2013/03/11
HanCinema's Korean Box Office Review (2013.03.08 ~ 2013.03.10) Park Hoon-jung's "The New World" enjoyed its third successive weekend as Korea's number one film. Park's action thriller added 508,889 (30.9%) stubs to move its total admissions count to 3.3 million. Park's second feature withstood the continuous pressure from Lee Hwan-gyeong's silver bullet hit "Miracle in Cell No.7", which itself is now standing in its eighth week. "Miracle in Cell No.7" has never slipped past second place, and its numbers continue to swell to record-breaking heights. Three other films came into the charts this past weekend that, although weren't able to cause much distress at the top of pile, did cause a shuffle in the upper echelons of Korea's top ten,...More

HanCinema's Korean Box Office Review (2013.03.01 ~ 2013.03.03) Leading us into it the month of March was Park Hoon-jung's "The New World" as it stretched its lead on Lee Hwan-hyeong's golden child "Miracle in Cell No.7". The two films were separated by just 5,000 admissions last weekend, but it was Park's latest that managed to pull ahead this time around. This cops and robbers action film scored 849,378 (29.43%) admissions, moving its total to 2.5 million since its release two weeks ago. In addition to the top local films slugging it out there were a number of new inclusions that came into the fray this week, including Park Chan-wook's first English-language film "Stoker",...More

[HanCinema's Box Office Review] February
2013/03/02
Lee Hwan-gyeong's "Miracle in Cell No.7" continued to dominate proceedings this past month, advancing its admissions tally to just over 11 million ($74M). After being released late in January, "Miracle in Cell No.7" came into the charts to beat off Korea's second highest grossing film of the year, Ryoo Seung-wan's espionage thriller "The Berlin File" (6,904,728). Lee Hwan-gyeong's would have completely stolen the show, but was marginally outdone in the first and fourth weeks by "The Berlin File" and, then again, by Park Hoon-joeng-I's "The New World". "The Berlin File" hit the Korean market a week after Lee's big moneymaker, and for that week it did manage to outshine Lee's hit, if only by a small margine. Many were excited to see what Ryoo's latest piece had to offer, as his last film, the gripping 2010 crime thriller "The Unjust", did more than turn a few heads,...More

Park was credited for the scripts of "The Unjust" and "I Saw the Devil", but "The New World" marks only his second film in the director's seat. The film stars Lee Jung-jae, Choi Min-sik and Hwang Jung-min in an action thriller that probes the spaces between Korea's National Police Agency and organised crime. "The New World" opened on Thursday and walk away from the weekend with more than 1 million admissions in its pocket,...More

HanCinema's Korean Box Office Review (2013.02.15 ~ 2013.02.17) After last weekend's fiercely contested race, it was Lee Hwan-hyeong's "Miracle in Cell No.7" that once again came out on top. Lee's popular comedy drama scooped around 1.1 million admissions (41.19%) to further cements itself as the highest grossing Korean film of the year. "Miracle in Cell No.7" is now approaching 9 million admissions, just ahead of this weekend's number two film: "The Berlin File" which also moves onto 5.9 million admissions of its own. Fresh to the charts are two new Korean films in the form of Lee Wonsuk's "How to Use Guys with Secret Tips", as well as Yim Soon-rye's "Run to the South",...More

[HanCinema's Box Office Review] January
2013/02/02
It was a hard month for foreign films here in Korea as January favoured three local films that, between them, held a tight grip on the ticket sales. Lee Hwan-gyeong's "Miracle in Cell No.7" may have stolen the show in the last weekend of the month, but it was Kim Ji-hoon's fiery epic "The Tower" and Jo Jin-kyoo's 5th comedy "Man on the Edge" that held that top position until then. In the foreign corner, two adaptations stood out in the form of the musical drama "Les Misérables" and "Life of Pi". The former has grossed $38.6 million over its six week run in Korean theatres, with "The Tower" close behind on $34.4 million,...More
