Love Is Blind stills featuring Kang Ji-hwan

First we saw Lee Jia’s supposed transformation into an ugly duckling, now we see her dapper co-star in the telecinema project Love Is Blind [내눈에 콩깍지], Kang Ji-hwan^(mine).

It does seem that due to Kang Ji-hwan’s “visual impairment,” the unattractive and unpersonable character played by Lee Jia will be portrayed at least some of the time using the actress’ usual stylish appearance. Aside from that, there’s not much to add about the plot since that’s been covered in previous posts. Love is Blind opens on November 5.

Stills from telecinema project Love is Blind

javabeans — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 17:23:17 +0000

Here’s the newly released poster for Love is Blind [내눈에 콩깍지], the segment of the telecinema project starring Lee Jia and Kang Ji-hwan. The romantic comedy features Kang Ji-hwan as a good-looking, capable, and charming guy who falls for an unattractive woman (Lee Jia) while experiencing a visual impairment that makes him see unattractive people as attractive.

Kang Ji-hwan, Lee Jia in telecinema project

Finally, some more news about that large-scale, multiple-installment, Korean-Japanese co-produced “telecinema project.” The release date has been set as November 5 for the segment starring Kang Ji-hwan (Level 7 Civil Servant) and Lee Jia (Style), which has a new title: Love Is Blind [내눈에 콩깍지].

I think the new title is a big improvement, since the tone of the film is much lighter than the initial working title, which was the much more unwieldy — and serious-sounding — The Relationship Between Faces, Hearts, and Love.

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.

The event begins at 11:30 PM on the night of October 16 and continues till 4:30 AM the next morning and comprises a special talk show and “movie party” emceed by comedian Park Ki-soo.

Part 1 of the night features Kim Haneul and her Level 7 Civil Servant colleagues Kang Ji-hwan and director Shin Tae-ra. They’ll talk about their movie with audience members and show behind-the-scenes and unreleased footage. The second part of the night features Sung Yuri and Jang Hyuk, the two stars of the upcoming melodramatic film Rabbit and Lizard.

In addition to the actors’ talk show, there will be a laser show and a mini-concert featuring performances by 2NE1, G-Dragon, After School, and others.

Sounds like a fun night, if you’re in the area. Tickets go on sale this week.

Style abounds with star cameos

Kim Hye-soo with 2NE1’s Park Bom

As announced, weekend drama Style has some upcoming star cameos in the works, and it looks like they’re using them all up in the same episode. The crew shot the scene (a party for the fictional Style magazine’s 200th issue) on August 10 and has released some behind-the-scenes images. As we know, Kang Ji-hwan is one of those stars, but joining him on the faux red carpet were members of pop group 2NE1, singer Bada, actress Cha Ye-ryun, and others.

Kang Ji-hwan cameos on Style

javabeans — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 05:38:50 +0000

Aww, craaaap. Now I have to keep watching Style!

I’d pretty much decided to put SBS’s Style on the back burner — not because it sucks, but because I’m just not interested enough to invest that many more hours into it — but I may have to stick around long enough to catch Kang Ji-hwan’s cameo appearance. He’ll be playing what sounds like a version of himself, in the role of a big-time movie star.

Kang’s appearance comes about through his relationship with the director, Oh Jong-rok, who directed him several years ago in the tearjerker drama series 90 Days’ Time to Love. He is also slated to appear alongside Style lead Lee Jia in the telecinema project, which airs on SBS this fall, so his appearance here is in support of both.

Kang explained taking on the part: “Style is a fun drama and I was going to visit the set in support of the director, but he suggested, ‘If you’re going to come, you should appear in it too.’ That’s how it came about. It’s a party scene, so I had fun filming it.”

The scene takes place as Kang’s actor character attends a party celebrating Style magazine’s 200th issue, which doubles as the inaugural party for editor Park Ki-ja (Kim Hye-soo). The scene will take place in Episode 6, which broadcasts August 16.
