  [Interview] Kim Jee-woon with The Lady Miz Diva
  2016/10/15, Source
  In the 5 years since our last chat with Director Kim Jee-woon, he made a full-fledged Hollywood film and then returned to South Korea to create his latest box office smash, "The Age of Shadows". Director Kim spoke with me about his spy thriller, based on real events during the Japanese occupation of Korea, as it premiered in New York City as part of Korean Movie Night.  We talked about his 20-year collaboration with acting legend Song Kang-ho, Oscar consideration, the influence of John Cassavetes and James Coburn, and he revealed the name of the lead actor for his long-awaited adaptation of "Jin-Roh" (Titled "Illang : The Wolf Brigade"). Oh, and his leading lady, Han Ji-min, makes a cute cameo.,...More

  [HanCinema's Actor Spotlight] Kim Seo-hyung
  2014/09/13
  When looking at the style of women that are popular in Korean drama and considering the types of roles women usually get, it is obvious that being pretty and sweet are qualities favored. However, it takes all kinds of characters to create a work and there are many types of women in stories aside from the often cookie-cutter stars that lead them. Kim Seo-hyung might lack the innocent and juvenile quality appreciated in actresses, but her charisma and choices give her options those often lack,...More

  [HanCinema's Box Office Review] 2013.05.17 ~ 2013.05.19
  2013/05/20
  It was a tightly contested tango and the top this past weekend, but it was once again "Iron Man 3" that came out on top. Marvel's blockbuster took first with 696,310 (27%), which moves its total admissions count in Korea to just under 8.5M. Tony Stark's latest adventure was almost toppled though, with both Jeong Geun-seop's "Montage" and Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby" cracking more than 500,000 admissions in their first weekend. In addition to these two new entries, Jeong Ik-hwan comedy drama "Happiness for Sale" and Ken Loach's "The Angels' Share" also made their way into Korean cinemas,...More

  [HanCinema's Film Talk] Robots and Technology: What does Kim Jee-woon fear for the future of Korea?
  2012/09/01
  "All these stories originate from the earth. From the very earth you live on". That is the final line of the official description of the omnibus film "Doomsday Book". The film contains three stories of how mankind would perhaps bring about its own apocalypse. In Kim Jee-woon's "Creation of Heaven" this theme of self-destruction is placed against the backdrop of technological advancement as a product of human effort and imagination. In Kim's version, mankind's fall seems to share its destiny with technological advancement, all the while asking hard questions on issues of morality, spirituality, and being in the near future. The film contains some heated dialogues (though experienced more like monologues) of lengthy popular rhetoric over mankind's perceived power of its creations. All the while the robot(s) in question remains silent and appears to just be processing all that was being said. 'RU-4' is his serial number, but that's not what the Buddhist believers at the temple would call him. They would claim him as Buddha himself reborn, his nirvana achieved and form found in this 'defective' robot/android,...More

  [HanCinema's Film Review] "Doomsday Book": The Korean Apocalypse
  2012/09/01
  Film: "Doomsday Book" Directors: Yim Pil-sung & Kim Jee-woon Chapters: "The New Generation", "Happy Birthday", and "Heaven's Creation" Stars: Go Joon-hee, Ryoo Seong-beom, Park Hae-il, Kim Kang-woo, Song Yeong-I Review Score: 7/10 Also Try: "Romantic Heaven", "Sorry, Thanks", and "Horror Stories" The inclusion of omnibus films within popular Korean cinema seems to me to be a curious phenomenon. Recent films such as "Romantic Heaven", "Sorry, Thanks", and "Horror Stories" have shown that there is interest for these more compact modes of storytelling. Still, there presence within contemporary Korean cinema suggests a possible niche or gap in the market that filmmakers such as Kim Jee-woon ("I Saw the Devil" and "A Bittersweet Life") and Yim Pil-sung ("Hansel and Gretel" and "Antarctic Journal") are willing to gamble on,...More

  [HanCinema's Film Review] Korean Weekend Box Office 2012.04.27 ~ 2012.04.29
  2012/04/29
  HanCinema's Korean Box Office Review (2012.04.27 ~ 2012.04.29)   There was never any doubt that Marvel's long awaited comic book film "The Avengers" was going to cause a huge stir at the Korean box office. This Hollywood blockbuster arrogantly snatched 64.30% of the ticket sales this past weekend, that's a whopping 1,342,584 admissions! It left Jeong Ji-woo's "A Muse" with just 15.90% and 389,803 admissions in its opening weekend, it's a decent start for this melodramatic romance, but it paled in comparison to the might of Marvel's gargantuan superhero flick,...More

Peter Berg's sci-fi action flick captured 41.80% of the ticket sales and cost an estimated $200 million to produce. The 674 457 admissions it received was more than double that of "Architecture 101" or Kim Hyeong-jun's "The Scent", which took in 254,502 and 242,691 admissions respectfully,...More
