Park Yong-woo's New Drama

Park Yong-woo has been cast along sides Kim Hee-ae in cable broadcaster jTBC's drama A Wife's Credentials . The story is about the skewed emphasis on private tutoring in Kangnam and a mother's struggle to educate her child. She, also, falls in love with her neighbor played by Park. He is described as the innocent next-door neighbor dentist. The drama is helmed by the PD Ahn Pan-suk of the much adulated  White Tower . This will be his first drama since then which was four years ago. The writer is Jung Sung-joo whose latest drama was Lawyers back in 2005. With cable now offering potentially thrilling new drama prospects, the big three may feel a dent in the their power over the next couple of years. Whether it is a good or bad thing, I'm having more interests in new cable dramas than what is being offered by KBS, MBC, or SBS, so in the best case scenario, new competition causes a rise in the quality of the shows and better treatm...

Interview with Countdown

Interview of Jung Jae-young and Jeon Do-hyun about their movie Countdown . It always occurs to me that Jung Jae-young seems like a funny guy. I would love to see him on a variety show, but alas, he saids that he can't be funny when everyone is expecting him to be which is understandable since being fun in real life and funny on talk shows don't always crossover. This is the music video Countdown released a while back for those interested. It gives a pretty extensive summary of the movie so bear in mind that it might be spoilery! Jung Jae-young looks hardcore and awesome! Via Youtube (SBS, Spot Tv Korea)

Tribute to Jung Jong and Princess Kyung-hye

I haven't been watching The Princess's Man regularly and usually only catch parts of the show, but am enjoying it nonetheless. My favorite pair is not the main couple but the ex-Princess Kyung-hye and her Prince Consort Jung Jong. In light of what happened in episode 22, I would like to dedicate this post to my favorite couple. Major Spoilers!! Please only continue if you wish to know what happens in Episode 22 (and previous episodes by default)

More Stuff (again) from The Client

Interview clip with Park Hee-soon, Ha Jung-woo and Jang Hyuk. Quick synopsis: they just talked about themselves (who can drink the most, Jang Hyuk's rap, Ha Jung-woo's plans of becoming a director). There also was sort of a running joke about Jang Hyuk and his martial art master persona which Jang says later, "I'm an actor." I found the short behind the scenes clip with Park Hee-soon and Ha Jung-woo cute and funny. They (kind of) rap their lines to each other, and Park Hee-soon says "Hey, man!" at the end which makes me giggle at the silliness going on set. Here are the individual character posters from The Client .

More from The Client

The Client 's main poster: This poster simply solidifies my anticipation for this movie. With Park Hee-soon, Ha Jung-woo, and Jang Hyuk, at least I know for sure the acting will be top notch and awesome. More awesome pictures of the lead, though mostly Park Hee-soon, from their press conference. I think Park Hee-soon has gotten hotter. Plus, I like his hair. I think he looks better with medium to shortish hair rather than long, but hey, he looks fine both ways. Pictures via Naver News 

Official Poster and More Pictures from The Client

The official poster for The Client was released, and it looks pretty good. It really captures the courtroom tension which I anticipate. In addition, the  picture of the main three actors standing together, I am dying from hotness overload! They might not be physically considered super beautiful, but as actors, they ooze charm and I total melt in their intense gaze. Bonus! They had a photo shoot for Elle, and need I say more: these are some fine looking men in some suits. Pictures via Naver News

The Client Trailer

Starring Ha Jung-woo (The Yellow Sea, The Chaser), Jang Hyuk (Midas, Chuno), Sung Dong-il (Runaway Plan B), and Park Hee-soon, the movie looks awesome-sauce! The tension between Ha and Park's character looks amazing, and I'm sure these actors won't disappoint. Gosh, there are so many movies I want to watch, I'm just giddy thinking about them.

Jung Jae-young Cast in a New Movie

After wrapping up filming Countdown  (which I am highly anticipating), Jung Jae-young has been cast in another film, I am the Killer . The movie is about a false announcement that the murderer has been arrested in order to capture the real serial killer and the consequences that follow. It is described as an action-thriller. I'm glad Jung Jae-young has another project because he is fantastic at his trade, and I'm doubly glad that people share my opinion about him and continue to give him new projects. I'm already looking forward to this movie, and it hasn't even started filming yet. Via Sports Hankook
