The cast of “Sa-kwa” does the press whirl
by | September 24, 2008 | 13 Comments

The 24th was press preview day for the cast of upcoming movie Sa-kwa [사과, which could mean apple or apology], and while this doesn’t necessarily look like my cup of tea, I do like the actors involved: Moon Sori (Legend), Lee Seon-kyun (White Tower), and Kim Tae-woo (Woman on the Beach).

The preview (below) also looks cute — in the film, directed by Kang Yi-kwan (A Smile), Moon Sori’s character is dumped by Lee Seon-kyun after seven years. She then marries Kim Tae-woo’s character, who’d long had feelings for her, but is confronted with doubt and worry when her first love returns.


The movie finally hits theaters after two years; since starting on the film in December 2006, Moon Sori has since married (to movie director Jang Joon-hwan). She joked, “Before I got married, I’d played mothers in a lot of roles, but now that I’m married, here comes my movie where I play a single woman.”

She also shared an anecdote about watching the film at the Pusan Film Festival with her then-fiancé, who’d turned to her afterward and said, “Marriage is starting to seem scary. It seems a lot more difficult and frightening than I’d thought.” (At least he wasn’t scared off completely.)

The movie releases October 16.

    I want to see this! *grabby hands* It doesn’t sound like my cup of tea either, but Lee Seon-kyun!!!! He’s such a cutie!

    I’m so shallow sometimes! *hangs head in shame*

    But…

    Lee Seon-kyun!

    Eh.

    Wow – Lee Seon-kyun is just powering through roles. White Tower, Coffee Prince, My Sweet Seoul, Sa-kwa and Triple coming up. Which, considering I love him (that voice! That Voice!!), is great news….

    Aaaah…Lee Seon Kyun, you’re voice is so soothing.

    Btw, does anyone know the song that plays in the trailer?

    Thanks.

    i’m sorry but i don’t like their choice of female…she looks like she could be their aunt!

    Moon Sori is an amazing actress though she isn’t as pretty as the other actresses in the industry (and the short crop doesn’t help). Though the movie doesn’t sound interesting to me, I’m glad she’s in a movie!

    What’s interesting to me is that the cinematography makes me think it’s going to be this dark, dark drama. But, the trailer was so light! Erm. I dunno about it.

    how fast moon so-ri has become ajumma-fied in just 3 years…
    Lee Seon-kyun circa ’05 was like his sexual prime (day-um!!)

    “Moon Sori is an amazing actress though she isn’t as pretty as the other actresses in the industry (and the short crop doesn’t help).”

    The odd thing is Moon Sori, maybe the best actress in Korea, has more frank sensuality (i.e. sex is just sex) than any other Korean actress that I can think of, including Kim Hye Soo. I guess this movie is a new take on the 7 Year Itch?

    I’m looking forward to seeing Sori in a daily drama and this movie, though. It would be like watching Meryl Streep on Gossip Girl.

    The show looks rather nice! :) Especially since Mr. Voice is inside! Heh. :)

    Anyway, the show really reminded me of this book called Love The One You’re With by Emily Giffin. Am I the only one?
