121min | Release date in South Korea : 2016/07/06

Synopsis
In-hong is drafted into the army by force to fight in China during the Qing Dynasty. During the struggle to survive in the battlefield, he meets Bo-won and Gyeon-i. Three men return to Korea to find no means to make living, and decide to form a con ring. Their cons range from selling a chicken as phoenix and disguising an ordinary sword as one that belonged to the great Admiral Yi Shun-shin. Soon, they become wanted by the authorities. The trio continues their scam under the radar. When their attempt to steal from the richest man in town, Seong Dae-ryeon, fails, In-hong sets up another con. He spreads the rumor that gold has been found in Daedong River, and lures Seong into the trap.

[HanCinema's Film Review] "Seondal: The Man Who Sells the River" + Tickets Giveaway (USA)
2016/07/09
Seondal (played by Yoo Seung-ho) and his buddy Gyeon-i (played by Xiumin) are Koreans who have been conscripted to fight some random war in the desert to improve the international political standing of aristocrat Dae-ryeon (played by Cho Jae-hyun). Although the opening scene is fairly bleak it does not take long for Seondal and Gyeon-i to run into Bo-won (played by Ko Chang-seok), a man who specializes in survival through scamming. Soon enough, the whole gang is free to run increasingly elaborate con jobs on pretty much everyone,...More

[HanCinema's On Location] Press Conference for upcoming "Steel Rain" at Apgujeong CGV
2017/11/17
Park Kyung-rim, Jung Woo-sung, Kwak Do-won and director Yang Woo-seok On November 15th at 11:00 AM at Apgujeong CGV the press conference for "Steel Rain" opened up. The movie's an action blockbuster primed for official release on December 20th- a bit far off to think about but just the right time for the advertising push to start, since "Steel Rain" will be competing with "Along With the Gods: The Two Worlds" for the always lucrative end-of-year market going into Christmas and New Years. Directed by Yang Woo-seok, the director of "The Attorney" from a few years back, "Steel Rain" is based on his own popular webcomic of the same title and stars Jung Woo-sung and Kwak Do-won as intelligence officers in North Korea and South Korea respectively who must work together to avert a massive crisis in the wake of a North Korean coup d'état,...More

"Tunnel" dethrones "The Last Princess" and takes the crown... Kim Seong-hun's action thriller "Tunnel" arrived last week and managed to capture 40% of box office pie and dislodge "The Last Princess" at the top of the pile. Last weekend Heo Jin-ho's historical melodrama (aka "Princess Deokhye") attracted 1.1 million filmgoers across 964 screens to take pole position; despite following that good opening with another 966,862 admissions here (21%), which moved its total tally now to 3.5 million ($25.6 million), Heo's latest was forced into second place after the "Tunnel" arrived on the scene and attracted 1.8 million admissions ($13.8 million) from 1,091 screens,...More

[HanCinema's Korea Diaries] "Gyeongju" June 21st-24th

...By the way, Gyeongju actually has three train stations rather than just one. So I'm spotlighting Singyeongju Station (신경주역) partially as a public service announcement. This is where the fast train from Seoul to Busan stops. It's pretty far off from the proper part of the city, although any bus that starts at Singyeongju Station will most assuredly take you somewhere more interesting on the cheap. Just bear in mind that if you want to have fun in Gyeongju in between adventures in Seoul and Busan, be prepared to either use buses or buy expensive taxi rides,...More

Yoo Seung-ho is a star but his true identity is hidden behind a veil. It's because he's only been in dramas and movies. Before and even after he joined the army, he's refused to take interviews and said, "I will do them only when I can clearly speak my mind". The 'mystery' behind Yoo Seung-ho only led to more curiosity and that was his plan. Now, Yoo Seung-ho is one of the leading actors in his 20s and he finally accepted an interview.
