Fans support Insadong Scandal

Kim Rae-won (Gourmet) and Uhm Jung-hwa (Seducing Mr. Perfect) are currently shooting their upcoming movie, the art-themed Insadong Scandal, and fans have been doing their part in making the filming process a little more bearable for their stars and the production team.

Recently, the film set in Busan was visited by 130 Japanese fans, who came to cheer on the staff and catch glimpses of the shooting process. As many do when visiting film sets, these fans came bearing gifts on the 20th, such as hot packs and gloves for the production members (as the weather was cold), as well as homemade snacks and cookies. A week later on the 28th, members of Uhm’s fan club came by with more warming supplies like hand warmers, wine, and chocolate.

Not to be outdone, Kim Rae-won also presented his crew with gifts of cosmetics sets (he’s currently the brand model for a cosmetics brand).

In the film, Kim plays one of the top art restorers in the country, while Uhm is a femme fatale-ish character who snaps up top artworks for her gallery. While this kind of character seems a bit typical of Uhm, I think she does tend to have good chemistry with her co-stars — she even tried to make a romance with Daniel Henney seem plausible in Seducing Mr. Perfect. (It wasn’t — plausible, I mean — but that wasn’t for want of trying on her part.) I’m curious to see how she gets along with Kim Rae-won, who I think is wonderful.

The film started shooting in November and is approximately 40% complete, and plans to release in the first half of 2009.

Shades of When It's At Night. Hopefully this movie will do better than the series did for Kim Sun Ah and what's his name.

UJH looks really gorgeous here.

Hmm... Looks interesting. Another movie to wait for, still "patiently" waiting for Antique, Snow Flower, and Portrait of a Beauty....

Interesting to see clips of female (much less any actor, these days) smoking on-screen. Glad that Kim Rae-won has another drama coming out - also love him but just couldn't get through Gourmet.

I never thought Kim Rae Won was good looking but now....wow. I hope this movie good. Not many winners in 2008, hopefully 2009 will be better. The only gem was The Chaser-amazing.

Usually i think Uhm Jung Hwa looks as if she had one too many plastic surgeries. But i agree with all4movies ~ she looks gorgeous here!

Gorgeous shots. @cullenhale - total agreement. I never understood the hype surrounding KRW until now - he looks fantastic (as does UJH).

This is as shallow as it sounds, I would like him so much if he has a nose job. His nose is just a really "big" distraction for me. :(

I tried watching SMP but DH's inert face and her very plastic face made me bored. She does look nice in these stills.
I will watch this one for KRW's perfectly natural and sensitive face. And his manly rugged body.

I actually don't mind KRW's not-so-perfect features like I would on other Korean actors or actresses. Maybe because I see him as THE actor, so that when I watch his movies or dramas, I look forward to his excellent, wonderfully controlled acting. His acting alone is enough for me.

I just got to know KRW through Gourmet. I have to say he made that drama come "alive". Although I enjoy Korean food tremondously, the plots are so lame. Without KRW, I probably won't be able to sit through the whole show. I really admire KRW's acting skills. (Ha, not that I am complaining about his good look.) I just think KRW can pull anything off . So, I am really looking forward for the release of his new drama.
