[HanCinema's Film Review] "Actresses"
2016/10/08
Youn Yuh-jung, Lee Mi-sook, Go Hyun-jung, Choi Ji-woo, Kim Min-hee, and Kim Ok-bin all play...themselves, in "Actresses", who are also all somewhat confusingly given credit as screenwriters. This is because director Lee Jae-yong intentionally produced "Actresses" without a script. Which makes sense. The whole raison d'être of the film is to answer a hypothetical "what-if" situation. Specifically, what if all these famous actresses had to get together for a photo shoot. What would they talk about?,...More

[Interview] "The Handmaiden" Kim Min-hee, "How can I explain love in just a single moment?"
2016/05/30, Source
Kim Min-hee from "The Handmaiden" shows that the aura of an actress decides the quality of a movie. The 'charming and beautiful' and 'like no other in heaven' Hideko brightened up the screens. The homosexual bed scene and level of exposure in the beginning were no match for Kim Min-hee. She's proven that acting can be beautiful. Kim Min-hee debuted as a magazine model and appeared in commercials and dramas like "School 2" but she was known more for her taste in fashion than acting. She starred in writer Noh Hee-kyeong's "Goodbye Solo" 10 years ago and finally earned herself some credit. Then she continued to star in movies "Hellcats", "Actresses", "Helpless" and more. In "Helpless" Kim Min-hee put on the face of a woman about whom everything was a lie,...More

As the layers of deceit are peeled back, Byeon seems in complete command of her material. A key demonstration of her narrative dexterity is the way she flaunts an audacious 'Chinatown'-like clue to the missing woman's whereabouts without pre-empting the climax",...More

Youn Yuh-jung's Movie Picks

Actress Youn Yuh-jung [Chae Ki-won/10Asia] To some generations, Youn Yuh-jung may be just another elderly actress whom they cannot quite tell apart from the late Yeo Woon-gye or Jun Yang-ja. But to most viewers or moviegoers, Yoon is an irreplaceable actress. And with such a coarse voice too! "Many people have unique voices these days but back in the days, [my voice] was considered very bizarre. I heard this later on but people had said I won't make it because of my voice. Now that I think of it, I've overcome quite a lot of obstacles. (laugh)" But Yoon is an actress who has proved that what an actor needs is not perfect eyesight but the tentacles to sense even the drop of a needle, and not a clear and ringing voice but even if it is a single line that is spoken, a sound which will sound alive and move people's hearts,...More
