COMING TO SEE ALL IN'S LEE BYUNG HUN
Lee Byung Hun has become the centre of attention in Japan's Korean drama entertainment in 2004.
Japan has become extremely passionate and interested about Lee Byung Hun (34) ever since 3 different Korean drama productions starring him have been broadcasted by TV stations in Japan over the same period of time. Therefore, more than 600 Japanese fans will be holding a fans' gathering at the Grand Hilton hotel in Seoul on February 7.
Although some people believe that Lee Byung Hun's popularity in Japan was unexpected, 3 dramas starring Lee Byung Hun are being screened simultaneously. SBS TV's 2001 production "Beautiful Days" is showing on NHK BS2, SBS "Happy Together" first broadcasted in 1999 is on BS Fuji, and SBS TV's 1995 production "Man on the Asphalt" (not sure of the official English title, so am doing a direct translation from the Korean title) is showing on Cable channel KNTV.
The movie "Addiction" is also expected to premiere in Japan in April, followed by SBS TV's "Beautiful Lady" (1997), and SBS TV's "All In" (2003).
In particular, Lee Byung Hun's overwhelming popularity has to be attributed to his role in "Beautiful Days." Lee Byung Hun showed his charismatic side in his role as the lover of Choi Ji Woo who is enjoying great popularity in Japan. Moreover, it is widely known that Lee Byung Hun and fellow K-drama star Song Hae Kyo are lovers.
Director Song Wan Mo, who is responsible for overseas marketing in Player Entertainment, the agency to which Lee Byung Hun belongs, announced Player's goal to employ effective marketing strategies in China, Southeast Asia, and Japan to secure LBH's place as the best actor in the Asian region.

Still hoping.....
At the moment there is an online petition going on to collect as many signatures as possible to be submitted to TV2 so that the station will continue with the airing of non-dubbed Korean dramas. The station had taken off the air the Korean drama slot since November last year. For those who are not aware, TV2 was the station that aired Beautiful Days in the original Korean version in 2002.
We would appreciate it very much if you could join us in the petition. To sign-up, please click here. |

Joint Security Area JSA
wah cerita yang manatp dan menyentuh hati.....lakonan mereka semua bagus dan tak dinafikan cerita ni memang best ....saya bagi ****1/2 from 5...
dalam cerita ni kita persahabatan yang tak mengenal sempadan selama ni orang selalu bercerita tentang cinta tanpa sempadan well ada juga persahabatan tanpa sempadan....
Kore Utara dan Korea Selatan berbeza fahaman satu komunis dan satu kapitalis...tapi 4 orang ni..Soo-Hyuk, private Nam, Woo-Jin dan pegawai Oh tu boleh menjadi sahabat yang baik...
rasanya kekuata cerita ni yang pertama sekali adalah jalan ceritanya dan diikuti dengan lakonan hebat mereka semua...walaupun sedikit terkilan dengan endingnya...
Pengarah ni dah mengeimpretasikan cerita ni dengan baik good job..
katt saya nak tanya kenapa masa ending (dalam gambar yang di ambil oleg pelancong) mereka berempat ada kat border line tu...adakah semua perisitiwa ni dah berlaku atau ending tu cuma nak memberi makna yang mereka masih bersama?...Pegawai Oh menyerahkan topi merah tu kat tourist pas tu Woo-Jin sedang berkawad..private Nam sedang bertugas manakal Soo-Hyuk tengah menghalang daripada tourist tu mengambil gambar...sedikit tak faham kat sini
part yang menyentuh hati masa diaorang bermain kat tepi sungai..macam budak-budak... |

Memang agak 'simbolik' ending JSA. Pada pendapat sayalah, kalau tak silap masa awal filem ni dah ditunjukkan scene mereka berempat di border tu. Tapi, hanya ditunjukkan dari jauh sahaja bagaimana one of the tourists terjatuh capnya di kawasan JSA tu dan telah dihalang oleh seseorang (who turns out to be LBH). At the time mereka berempat belum lagi mengenali antara satu sama lain. Masing-masing berada di tempat masing-masing tanpa kisahkan orang lain. Ironinya, all of them became very good friends tanpa mengetahui bagaimana kehidupan mereka kelak berkait di antara satu sama lain dengan kesudahan yang begitu tragik sekali.
Itulah bila endingnya, scene yang sama ditunjukkan, kali ini dengan close-up kepada setiap seorang. Saya cukup suka cara ending begini, it shows how they were connected to each other before this. Inilah yang menyedihkan bila 'persahabatan' mereka akhirnya mempunyai kesudahan yang sungguh tak disangka. They were all brothers, regardless of sides....whether it's North or South.
This is one of my favourite films tapi tak sanggup tengok lebih dari sekali. So sad. :cry:

More of JSA
Joint Security Area
For the second year in a row, the Korean film industry has struck gold with a movie about North Korea. Many expected Joint Security Area (or JSA) to do well at the box office, given the current level of interest in North Korean affairs, but it has done much more than that, spawning headlines and breaking box-office records with ease. The film drew close to half a million viewers in Seoul alone its first week. On the following Saturday it set a one-day box office record, drawing 104,000 viewers in the capital. It broke the one million admissions mark in only 15 days -- last year it took Shiri 21 days to reach the same mark. By early 2001 it had become the best-selling film in Korean history (though it was eclipsed by Friend a few months later).
Park Chan-wook's film opens with a shooting in the truce village of Panmunjom which leaves two North Korean soldiers dead and one South Korean soldier wounded. With each country giving conflicting reports on what happened, the Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission (NNSC) is asked to send in a Swiss military officer to conduct an investigation. After her arrival, however, she finds that no one is willing to talk to her, and the soldiers involved all seem to be hiding some secret...
JSA is described as a mystery/ human drama, and its structure is clearly divided into two parts: the investigation by Korean-Swiss Major Sophie Jean, and an extended flashback to the incident between the soldiers. I think most would agree that the film's biggest strength is the flashback, with actors Song Kang-ho and Lee Byung-heon excelling in their roles. This part of the film also features some breathtaking cinematography for the scenes that take place along the Demilitarized Zone.
The mystery element contains less tension, particularly if the viewer knows too much about the plot beforehand. Attention is focused not so much on what happened, but why. This part also contains a large number of scenes in English, which may have to be redubbed if the film opens in English-speaking territories. Nonetheless it has been noted by critics and audience members alike for its rare casting of a female actor (Lee Young-ae) in a non-romantic part.
The producers of the film spared no expense in recreating the setting around Panmunjom. Since shooting at the actual site would obviously not be permitted, Myung Film built a 90% replica of the village of Panmunjom at a cost of some $800,000. The site can be visited to this day at the Seoul Cinema Complex. JSA is also notable for being the first Korean film ever to be shot on Super 35mm film, a special format used in some Hollywood blockbusters that allows for a wide screen (1:2.35) with very clear definition.
The film has won more or less unanimous praise from every sector of Korean society, with one exception: the army. Many in the military have derided the film as pure fantasy, based on an event which could never happen in real life (probably true). In a bizarre incident on September 26, twenty older members of the JSA Veterans' Association stormed into the office of Myung Film, breaking windows and physically threatening the employees of the company. They demanded that the production company issue a public apology to the army and insert notices at the beginning and end of the movie stating that it is a work of fiction. After four hours, the employees of Myung Film acquiesced, and despite vocal objection from the film industry, the group's demands are being met.
Some have compared this film to Shiri because of its superficial resemblance, but it really is a much different work. As relations with North Korea change and the two nations draw closer together, this film perhaps serves best as a record of South Koreans' fears and hopes for reconciliation. (Darcy Paquet)
