  [HanCinema's Box Office Review] 2017.08.25 - 2017.08.27
  2017/08/28
  Local hits "V.I.P", "A Taxi Driver" and "Midnight Runners" secure 67% of the sales... The highest grossing film of the year -- Jang Hoon's "A Taxi Driver" (Song Kang-ho) -- was denied a fourth weekend as number one due to the arrival Park Hoon-jung's "V.I.P". Park's film (his fourth after "The Showdown", "The New World", and "The Tiger: An Old Hunter's Tale") stars Jang Dong-gun, Kim Myung-min, Park Hee-soon and Lee Jong-suk and tells the story of a North Korean killer on the run from both Koreas and Interpol. It was a close race, but Park's new crime thriller disrupted "A Taxi Driver"'s fine run by scoring 598,715 admissions (25.09%), or $4.5 million, during its opening weekend,...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

  [HanCinema Drama's Diary] My First K-Drama: "Deep-Rooted Tree"
  2012/04/28
  Ever since I dived into Korean cinema in all its cinematic glory and magic, there has been another side of the industry that I somehow managed to avoid. It's on the T.V. sets of thousands of diehard fans and junkies that swear by them and they are the topic of much discussion on Internet forums and between friends and families, not just in Asia, but around the world. Now perhaps it has been this very, almost cult-like and truly fanatical following, that somewhat put me off getting my feet wet, but this past week I took the leap and started watching my first K-drama,...More

  [HanCinema's Film Review] "The Showdown": A Loveless Triangle of Blood and Blades
  2011/12/24
  After last week's review of Kim Han-min's "Arrow, The Ultimate Weapon" I felt a sudden craving for some more historical action. I came across Park Hoon-jung's "The Showdown" and thought it would be just the sort of flick that would satisfy my recent obsession with bows and swords. The film further intrigued me when I saw that Park also wrote the screenplay for "The Unjust" and "I Saw the Devil", two other great films from 2010. While not as flashy or adrenaline packed as "Arrow, The Ultimate Weapon", "The Showdown" has a darker taint that is psychologically driven and framed,...More
