| Bae Yong-joon’s book to be published overseas Posted: 12 Sep 2010 05:31 AM PDT Bae Yong-joon‘s travel-essay book on Korean culture has been a bestseller in both Korea and Japan since its release a year ago. Now he’s launching a Taiwanese publication, and preparing for a release in China as well as an English translation. Bae’s Journey in Search of Korea’s Beauty went through 13 re-printings within a month of its release, skyrocketing it to the bestseller list right away. Not a surprise, considering Bae’s superstar status in Korea and Japan. The man’s pretty much a god in Japan. (...) © girlfriday for Dramabeans, 2010. | Permalink | 6 comments | Add to del.icio.us  |
| Posted: 11 Sep 2010 08:19 PM PDT Show, you’re awfully cute, but I’ve got a sneaky feeling you’re all poof, no punch. Thankfully, I like all your characters, who are endearingly good-natured and sweet, so you’re not without your merits, and I have fun when I’m with you. I know, I can be a bit of a Goldilocks—I complain when there’s too much drama, I complain when there’s not enough. But really, I want some stakes. Somebody, bring me the stakes!

| Kang Dong-won and Go Soo in Psychic Posted: 11 Sep 2010 04:00 PM PDT Kang Dong-won and Go Soo just wrapped on the set of Psychic, their latest project with writer-director Kim Min-suk, who co-wrote The Good, The Bad, The Weird. Psychic filmed at break-neck speed for three months, and finished principal photography this week. Kang Dong-won plays a character with the ability to invade people’s psyches with his own. It’s described as “using his eyes to move someone’s heart,” so I’m going with mind-control. He actually regrets his gift, and would rather live a peaceful life, but forces prevent him from living quietly. He meets Go Soo’s character, who is the only person he can’t control. Complications ensue. I sort of wish this were a buddy cop movie. But they end up rivals, and the still below doesn’t bode well for one of them.

| Can K-dramas be adapted for U.S. audiences? Posted: 11 Sep 2010 11:02 AM PDT Could we be seeing American adaptations of Korean dramas on our screens in the near future? While there have been a few Hollywood remakes of Korean films, we have yet to see any of our beloved k-dramas get the Hollywood makeover. That’s about to change, as KBS just struck a deal with Kapital Entertainment, optioning the rights to Resurrection [부활] and The Devil (Lucifer) [마왕] to be remade for U.S. television. Both dramas happen to star Uhm Tae-woong, which is perhaps a coincidence, but maybe they love him as much as we do. The main draw is actually in the genre, as Uhm plays a detective in both dramas, and well, just flip through a few prime-time shows on American TV. ‘Nuff said.
