An extremely praiseworthy initiative, the figures are nonetheless important, not exactly low budget but reasonably contained in view of the calculated risks for possible fallout, after all, I do not believe that even today's most successful filmmakers started with exorbitant budgets, and frequently necessity sharpens the wit... Korea is steadily among the largest film industries in the world (then taking into account the not too large number of population), so that significant passage about ‘maintaining the creative ecosystem of Korean Cinema’ is particularly relevant, with, hopefully. on the horizon, some future prominent filmmakers... Who knows if any film stars will take up the cause, perhaps ‘sacrificing’ themselves and working on a lower budget with a potential percentage of the revenues, I suggest...
Many Many Happy Birthday wishes to you Jo Min Soo, what a marvellous actress, who was also at the Venice Film Festival as the main character when the late Kim Ki Duk won the Lion with ‘Pieta’, I recently rewatched the beautiful ‘Piano’ with her marvellous, even if only for a few episodes, splendid also in ‘Will it snow for Christmas?’, a less convincing drama but she was perfect, let's wait for her in ‘Riding Life’ which looks promising Happy Birthday! 🌺
Sounds like a lovely coming-of-age story with lots of nostalgia and tears guaranteed, beautiful cast (they absolutely perfect as a couple) and setting in Jeju too, wonderful title and trailer that creates the right growing atmosphere, I'm definitely getting on board! I Love IU! ❤️
Happy birthday Sa Rang! 💖 "My Love Eun Dong " always among my favourite dramas even "Secret Garden", of course (and that red dress at the Christmas party!) 🌹
Happy Birthday BoYoung! Always tirelessly present and gorgeous, I read that there is indeed an interesting new project, a remake of a Canadian series (‘Mary Kills People’), can't wait! All the best to you!❤️
A wonderful interview, kudos to Jae Suk for bringing her on the show (I hope to see the episode soon somewhere); it's a balance of a woman coming of an important age, after so long in the front row (in all aspects) in show business, it must not be easy at all, you need very broad shoulders, a great head in addition to family and well-established friends, then solid personal basic principles...
When one gets to a certain age, regardless of social status, you tend to look for joy even in the little things; personally, having suffered several personal misfortunes that deprived me of beloved people, I tend to take things more lightly, live for the day, drawing positive cues from every possible situation that everyday life offers me, i still consider myself a positive man by nature, however, the rock 'n' roll life is stored in the scrapbook of memories; The important thing, as she explains, is to be able to have no regrets (or try not to have too many! ) and try to follow a peaceful and healthy lifestyle, but above all, never, never be alone!
Some time ago I read that in show biz she is particularly close with Kim Hee Sun and Song Yoon Ah, imagine what a trio these wonderful women make up!
I so admire her ability to look at her acting resume and challenge herself, it is the ABC of show biz not to find herself imprisoned in the swamps of show industry with a label stamped on her forehead, thank goodness her beautiful career speaks for itself.
I can imagine the years after the divorce where she must have suffered an unbearable media massacre (and here, family and friends are crucial) in a world that judges you even by your different haircut, having to be perfect all the time, smiling even with the pain inside your heart from similar traumas must have put her through a lot...
She sounds like a really beautiful woman with a serious mindset and her feet firmly planted on the ground, I hope she also has the love happiness that she rightly deserves, and that she gives us some dramas or movies every now and then (this is a horror movie so a lot of curiosity about the project) so that we can admire her, all the love in this world to you, SHK!
Eh, I've said it a couple of times on other threads, you were very talented, a perfect performance, right from the part of the selective mutism, the necessary language barrier of the first episodes brought out the best thanks to the very wide range of expressions represented, also not always necessarily dramatic (I found the finger scene, for example, really funny! ), a bit like in the silent movies of the golden age of cinema (perhaps it may have seen noir classics like Siodmak's ‘The Spiral Staircase’. who knows)...
Simply communicating with a look is not a common skill even in show business, let alone the dedication to learning sign language; a devotion worthy of high praise, then, really great chemistry with the partner, but this has already been said ad infinitum!
She is definitely a very meticulous actress who had already impressed me personally at the time of ‘I'm Not A Robot’ (a drama I love very much!); She has a light in her eyes that gives her a kind of distinctiveness even in the immense and competitive South Korean acting scene, she is ‘only’ 30 years old and is already - rightly - considered a high level actress, then, in my personal opinion, I find her incredibly seductive...
Absolutely deserved all the praise it is garnering!
We should never underestimate the media hype that television companies are able to generate, and Netflix, like Disney+ and the like always succeed very well in this respect, there is nothing to say about this point, it tends to create a cascade effect thanks also to social networks or platforms and sites like reddit that increase interest also by word of mouth;
From time to time I happen to read in British newspapers (but also in Italian magazines, albeit with less attendance) ‘amazing’ reviews of movies distributed on the platforms with comments that are far too over the top, it's that concept of continuous hyperbole whereby each ‘new’ film or series in distribution is always better than the previous ones...
For me, WTPR turned out to be a very good series up to the last episode, which was really absurd in terms of continuity of narrative logic, lacking, in my opinion, the courage to make less standardised choices (I would have liked something more ‘unresolved’ perhaps like ‘Alhambra'), but these are personal observations (I will watch the drama again in the near future) that do not detract from the excellent work done by Yoo Yeon Seok, even though, again in my personal opinion, Chae So Bin is even more surprising in his role...
He is definitely very talented, he is yet another all-round performer of a generation that has produced truly phenomenal actors, so lots and lots of applause for him, there will be no shortage of proposals!
Only prayers for these poor souls and their families, the rest really doesn't matter... it's since yesterday when I saw the news (in Italy early in the morning) that I can't think of anything else; even children and whole families, what a terrible tragedy...
Happy Happy Birthday! I love your work in...everything! You are in so many dramas or films that I adore, really perfect in ‘Room No. 9 Happy Birthday to You!
‘Black Out’ for me is one of the best dramas of 2024, moreover a perfect example of how one can take a rather conventional novel, a pale imitation Made in Germany of the style of Jeffrey Deaver or Patricia Cornwell and adapt it perfectly to South Korean canons, with great filmic rendering; great overall cast, but really Byun Yo Han exceptional (Go Jun too, however);
Happy for Kim Hee Sun, ‘Bitter Sweet Hell’ beautiful but not outstanding, she's always fabulous, but even there, the whole cast (almost) perfect!
I'm following ‘When The Phone Ring’ but I haven't quite got my head around it yet, apart from Soo Bin who is really magnificent (in everything!)
Bo Ra was also very talented in the excellent ‘Black Out’ (one of the best series of 2024, at least for me), and then she is so pretty! This drama intrigues me a lot (although i honestly don't know the original series), then there's the wonderful Go Hyun Jung so the whole thing definitely looks promising!
For a legitimately ambitious actor, it is essential to accept new challenges in order not to remain stuck in a standardized role, or worse, a cliché; he is right to mention Brad Pitt as an example because the Hollywood actor, who obviously has a very long career due to his more mature age, has always shown great versatility in even complex roles (I am thinking of ‘Jesse James’, his excellent work with Tarantino, or ‘Fight Club’, just to go by memory...).
Let's say that SJK should not be too afraid to ‘’soil‘’ his image a bit (I really appreciate this necessary and justified ‘amorality’ in ‘Vincenzo’), he is in any case a top level actor in the Dramaverse so both for movies and TV he will have plenty of opportunities;
this film set in Bogotá looks really interesting, against the backdrop of the IMF crisis of 1997 which then, it is interesting to remember, as can be seen from the plot, did a lot of disaster in Korea, but led to the growth reaction of the Asian country, also laying the basis for the birth and explosion of the ‘’Korean wave‘’ (with investments in culture and entertainment).
As for the family, nothing to say, he has found a gorgeous partner (Katy Louise Saunders is really a beautiful woman!), he, lucky him, is a very handsome man (great envy!), the children will be genetically beautiful, and moreover they have a lovely connection with Italy, I think I read that the daughter was born in Florence (but I could easily be wrong), so much happiness to them and keep up the good work!
Korea is steadily among the largest film industries in the world (then taking into account the not too large number of population), so that significant passage about ‘maintaining the creative ecosystem of Korean Cinema’ is particularly relevant, with, hopefully. on the horizon, some future prominent filmmakers...
