Lee Da-hae’s sad wedding scene for Chuno

javabeans — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 08:21:53 +0000

These stills were released from KBS’s upcoming sageuk-action drama Chuno (Slave Hunters) on the 16th, which feature the drama’s leading lady Lee Da-hae dressed in wedding garb wearing a sad expression on her face.

In the storyline, Lee Da-hae’s character Hye-won is caught in a love triangle between her two male co-stars, Jang Hyuk and Oh Ji-ho. Her love with Jang Hyuk’s character is hindered by the gap in their social standing; while dealing with her disappointment over that love, she meets Oh Ji-ho’s character and the two fall in love. These stills show her sadness at being pressured into an unwanted marriage in order to maintain her yangban (aristocratic) standing.

Jang Hyuk to welcome second child

javabeans — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:16:54 +0000

Actor Jang Hyuk has announced his happy news: after being married last year, he’s now expecting his second child. Jang broke the news while doing press for his new movie, the racy, adultery-themed Penthouse Elephant [펜트하우스 코끼리], with what the reporter calls “a very bashful expression.”

This announcement comes late in the pregnancy, as his wife is currently seven months along, and the couple’s due date is around the end of the year or early January. Jang’s first child was born about two months prior to his June 2008 wedding. He had been dating his wife for six years, as the couple had had waited to marry until he returned from army service in late 2006. Jang explained that with his first child, he’d made a lot of preparations, picking out a name and even trying to talk to the unborn baby, “But with the second, I’m so busy that I haven’t been able to do anything, and I’m sorry to my wife.”

Aside from Penthouse Elephant, Jang is also promoting his other film Rabbit and Lizard (which he and co-star Sung Yuri acted in without pay), while also filming the upcoming sageuk thriller Chuno, which will air early next year.

Opening red carpet at the 14th Pusan International Film Festival

javabeans — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 19:32:36 +0000

On October 8, the 14th Pusan International Film Festival, or PIFF, opened in Busan. (Yes, the city takes a different official spelling than the film festival. Blame inconsistent Romanization.)

As the largest film festival in Korea, it drew a large list of attendees, as you can see from the long list of red-carpet walkers. It was definitely a star-studded opening night, and even included one familiar Hollywood face (Josh Hartnett).

This year’s PIFF features its largest lineup to date, screening 355 films from 70 countries, and closes on the 16th.

javabeans — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 05:13:27 +0000

Penthouse Elephant [펜트하우스 코끼리] is a new movie that is pushing the provocative/sexy angle and which is described on these freshly released posters as exploring “The secret private lives of bad men.”

javabeans — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 04:05:38 +0000

Is Chuno looking better and better or what? The Joseon-era-set KBS drama, also translated Pursuing Slaves, has released its latest round of stills featuring its nobleman (Jang Hyuk) in pursuit of his escaped slave (Oh Ji-ho). These scenes were filmed on a two-day shoot over September 19 and 20 in Haenam, Jeonnam. They depict the two men in their first confrontation after Oh’s flight, which culminates in “explosive action.”
