| Gong Hyo-jin in Rolling Home With a Bull Posted: 09 Oct 2010 06:02 AM PDT Gong Hyo-jin‘s next film is the movie Rolling Home With a Bull (which I’d previously translated more literally as How To Travel With a Cow), which will release early next month. In the movie, Gong plays a woman who suddenly shows up in front the ex-boyfriend she broke up with seven years ago (played by Kim Young-pil), who’d sold a cow in a fit of anger. They end up going on an eight-day trip trip that turns out to be full of surprises. (...) © javabeans for Dramabeans, 2010. | Permalink | 4 comments | Add to del.icio.us  |
| Kim Tae-hee only good for television? Posted: 08 Oct 2010 08:00 PM PDT Kim Tae-hee is one of the most famous actresses of her age/generation and an undisputed CF queen, and her dramas have typically performed very well. Yet once again her foray into film has yielded bitter results, and the horse-racing-based Grand Prix has had a poor showing at the theaters. In nearly three weeks since the film released, Grand Prix has drawn less than 170,000 admittances, and was 15th place in the box office charts over the past weekend. (For comparison purposes, Cyrano Dating Agency and Invincible both opened on the same day, and they both hit 1 million admittances in the first week. Their current numbers are approaching 2 million. The current No. 1 Korean box office performer of all time is The Host, which stands at 13 million.) Kim’s previous films, 2006′s The Restless and 2007′s Venus and Mars, also disappointed expectations, though the former performed much better than the latter. (The Restless totaled 1.45 admissions, while Venus and Mars recorded a mere 340,000.) Contrast that with the strong performances of her dramas: IRIS, Stairway to Heaven, and Love Story at Harvard. Some are going so far as to call it a “big screen jinx,” though I think it’s a simpler case of Kim Tae-hee lacking the charisma for film; dramas are better suited for her because the audience has a chance to develop a rapport with her character over 16 to 20 episodes that film doesn’t allow. On the upside, perhaps this bodes well for her upcoming romantic-comedy television drama My Princess, co-starring Song Seung-heon. That show is slated to air in January 2011. Via OSEN RELATED POSTS

| Yoon Kye-sang and Jung Yumi’s Come Closer Posted: 08 Oct 2010 03:02 PM PDT Yoon Kye-sang (Who Are You?, Road No. 1) and Jung Yumi (Oki’s Movie, Que Sera Sera) (two of my favorites!) are starring in an upcoming movie together, called Come Closer. (I’m totally ignoring that errant comma in the title.) This project was announced last year, but news has been fairly quiet about it until now, with the film slated for theatrical release next month. It’s also the sexiest I’ve ever seen Jung Yumi looking, with her smoky eyes and trendy clothing. (She’s tended to play eccentric, 4-D oddballs in most of her roles.) The movie is an omnibus feature that follows the broken relationships of five couples: Yoon and Jung play one couple, and indie-pop singer Yozoh and Yoon Hee-seok (Gumiho: Tale of the Fox’s Child) form another pairing. (Others haven’t been listed yet, but initial reports made mention of a gay couple being among them.) A bit of trivia: Jung Yumi and Yozoh have acted together before in the indie film Cafe Noir, which was Yozoh’s acting debut.

| Lee Yo-won and Lee Dong-wook in The Recipe Posted: 08 Oct 2010 09:58 AM PDT A female director, Lee Dong-wook, Lee Yo-won, AND Ryu Seung-ryong? Consider my interest piqued. The Recipe, also translated directly as ‘Bean Paste’ [된장], is about a murderer on death row, played by Ryu Seung-ryong (Personal Taste), whose last request is to have the bean paste soup he had just before he was captured. Lee Yo-won (Queen Seon-duk) plays the woman behind that mysterious and captivating taste, and the story uncovers her love affair with a young man, played by Lee Dong-wook (Partner, My Girl).
