Park Bo-young, Eom Ji-won begin filming Girl

Freeeeaky. Filming has begun on mystery/horror movie Girl, with Park Bo-young (Hot-Blooded Youth, A Werewolf Boy) taking on the role of a student named Joo-ran, who transfers to a boarding school for convalescents in a coastal town in northern Korea. The movie is set in 1938, prior to the division of Korea, and something about the setting and description is already giving me chills.

Joo-ran uncovers the school’s hidden secret, and will face a series of bizarre incidents. Eom Ji-won (Thrice Married Woman, Childless Good Fortune) has been cast as the teacher/principal of the boarding school, and while that’s all we’ve been given on her character for now, writer-director Lee Hae-young (Like A Virgin) is said to have written the headmaster role with Eom in mind (they worked together on Festival).

I still can’t be persuaded to watch a horror flick, but the thought of watching these two talents onscreen together is very appealing. I’m curious about the story, too: In the scenes shot a few days ago, Joo-ran learns for the first time that another student with the same name existed at the school, before she transferred in. Eeek! Filming will continue to ramp up over the next few months, and Girl will be released in early 2015.

Sounds creepy....but I like horror films (but I watch them with a pillow in hand to hide behind) and this one looks like it will have an atmospheric feel to it..

Oohh the story sounds good and creepy. If it was more mystery than horror, then I might watch it. I can't take anything too scary/gory.

I like Park Bo Young. She's so cute and charming. ^^

How are people able to watch these korean movies? A lot of the korean movies mentioned here aren't on iTunes or Amazon. (And I'm not about to try a sketchy website like gooddrama.net, which I heard is ridden with viruses)

You don't need a subscription for Hulu you can watch Korean movies there for free. I have watched penny punchers and silenced. Also sometimes people post the movies on YouTube with subtitles and all. I have watches, speedy scandal, my sassy girl, secretly greatly, baby and me, the man from nowhere, a monster boy ect. on YouTube. :)

Tbf, I watch everything on good drama (and Viki) and I have no viruses, thank Goodness. I've never even heard of it having viruses. Things like Amazon, Netflix and Hulu aren't available to me because I'm outside of the US.

I ALWAYS root for any movie with PBY in it! She is so talented!
This maybe off topic,but I like to know if some others have my idea!

Lee Min Ho & Park Bo young worked together in 3 projects"Secret Campus","Our School E.T" & "Mackerel Run" BEFORE their stardom.They were very comfortable & friendly with each other & some very CUTE selcas from these two were spread in the net.There were positive feedback from K-netizen,in a way that there rumors of LMH dating her.K-netizen also love these two to be paired up NOW THAT they BOTH are popular & successful!
Surprisingly,K-netizen,who are VERY scary when it comes to their idols dating,LIKE these two to date!! :)
I have been shipping them FOR LONG!
LMH rose to stardom with mega hit "Boys Over Flowers" in 2009 & PBY rose to stardom with her mega hit movie "Speedy Scandal"!! Then their ways got separated & no more cute & friendly selcas since they are very in the spot light!
Then in 2011,they met each other after some years,in "32nd Blue Dragon Awards".They sat next to each other & there were some cute moments for them on the stage & also behind it,which you can see in the images & videos!
When LMH went on the stage with her to present award,he friendly & comfortably told her that "Long time,no see.U are a woman now".Then PBY veryyy cutely flips & gets happy for this compliment & made the cute mistake of saying "Oppa" in an official ceremony! She makes this mistake twice & LMH reaction is also so cute & nice!
Some months ago,I read in one of PBY's interview that she feels honored to be paired with "Lee Min Ho","Song Jong Ki" &"Lee JUN Song" & then she said she would like to work with the actor.. (the one who acted the child actor in The Moon & The Sun".AFTER I read this I thought WHY did say mention the name of LMH when the time they worked together they DID NOT romance each other,LMH wasn't the lead actor & he wasn't popular & was unrecognized!! The other names that she mentioned made senes but NOT as for LMH! I thought she might have felt SO comfortable & good while working with LMH,although the projects were adequet & nothing special,withou EVEN romancing each other & making a hit K-couple & making sensation!

I am SO SORRY for my LONG comment. awcoconuts could delete it if she & you beanie people find it very off topic & unacceptable! There is no where I can say these things,in LMH's fan pages everyone likes MinShin couple like mad & in "Soompi" threads for shippers,there is no such a thing for LMH & PBY. MinShin couple in Soompi is just very active that the first thread with 2000 pages got closed & THE SECOND thread is open now with pages becoming more & more! I just found this place for expressing myself! Once AGAIN,I am so sorry!!

Who's Scruffy Looking

I quite like PBY though I haven't seen any of her older stuff. Except ESP Couple.
And I really like PSH, though I still haven't finished Heirs yet.
But as a couple I like LMH with Park Min Young. City Hunter was just awesome.
And when you compare them in that against when they were together in I Am Sam, they looked so young, especially LMH. They were so cute together.
And with TOP in the mix PMY was a lucky girl.
