[Interview] “I believed the box-office myth from 100 years ago would return.” Director Yasuda Junichi of “Samurai Timeslipper” ②

[Interview] “I believed the box-office myth from 100 years ago would return.” Director Yasuda Junichi of “Samurai Timeslipper” ②

At the end of last year, at the Japan Academy, the awards beat hot releases such as “Last Mile” and “Kingdom 4” to win seven categories: best picture, best director, best screenplay, best actor, best cinematography, best lighting, and best editing.
This is a structure that connects the filming set of the late Edo period with that of a modern-day historical drama. The former is an era in which the shogunate was in decline ahead of the Meiji Restoration, while the latter is a period that came after the heyday of 1970s-80s historical dramas—when...

Interview ①: Pyo Ji-hoon on 〈True Education〉: 'I'm Not Like Bong Geun-dae; I Speak Up When I See Students Smoking'

Interview ①: Pyo Ji-hoon on 〈True Education〉: 'I'm Not Like Bong Geun-dae; I Speak Up When I See Students Smoking'

In 〈True Education〉, Bong Geun-dae emerges as an unlikely standout — a socially awkward genius whose growth gives the series some of its emotional balance. A genius who finished KAIST two years early yet often comes across as awkward and withdrawn, he provides a counterbalance among the series'...

[Interview] Y2K Sensibility, Meeting This Year’s Debut, Director Changrok Han in the Hot Seat, Actors Joo Min-hyeong and Baek Ji-hye (②)

[Interview] Y2K Sensibility, Meeting This Year’s Debut, Director Changrok Han in the Hot Seat, Actors Joo Min-hyeong and Baek Ji-hye (②)

The 〈strong〉Chungchungchung〈/strong〉 (also rendered as 〈strong〉Chung Chung Chung〈/strong〉)—made with the 2018 murder case in Washington, Benton as its inspiration—depicts a catastrophe sparked by the tangled, competing desires of three children.
How did the two of you interpret and approach your respective characters. The name “Courage” suggests an energy that’s overflowing, but the character is also a “pathetic” youth who doesn’t have real, powerful force.

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] Do You Know the Origin of Woody in “Toy Story”?

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] Do You Know the Origin of Woody in “Toy Story”?

I can’t stop fixating on the objects in the movies. I get pulled into deep thought over why—director, cinematographer, production designer, maybe even an actor—someone put that object in front of the camera. “Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker” is a record of the objects from films that landed in my eyes, as if they gently stepped over them.
〈Toy Story 2〉 (1999)’s opening begins as if it were a scene from the 〈Star Wars〉 series. And in the moment of crisis, Woody recites the lines “Think about it, think about it,” like the way Dong-su (Kim Sang-kyung) does in 〈Theater Jeon〉 (2005) or Yeon-hong (Son Ye-jin) does in 〈No Secrets〉 (2016).

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] Zombie Things That Don’t Flinch Even When Shot: Korea’s First Zombie Film, “Kwe-si” (1981)

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] Zombie Things That Don’t Flinch Even When Shot: Korea’s First Zombie Film, “Kwe-si” (1981)

I can’t help but fixate on the objects in the movies. I find myself getting deeply lost in thought about why—of all things—this director, cinematographer, art director, or even the actor, placed that item in front of the camera. “Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker” is a record of the objects in films that landed on my eyes with a light, delicate stomp.
〈Gun-chae〉surpassed 3 million viewers in just 10 days. According to the Korean Film Commission’s integrated computer network, it reached the 3 million mark on May 30, its 10th day after release, four days earlier than 〈King and the Man〉, which drew 16 million viewers.

Interview: Gu Kyo-hwan Says ‘I Want to Beat Up Seo Yeong-cheol’ Is the Highest Praise for ‘Colony’

It’s fair to call this "Gu Kyo-hwan’s year. " From 《If We》, which helped spark a melodrama boom, to the recently ended series 《Everyone Is Fighting Their Own Sense of Worthlessness》 (hereafter 《Mojamussa》), and the film 《Colony》, released on May 21 and which has surpassed about 2.

[Lee Hwa-jeong’s Deep Detox] “Keep Running Without Rest With an Athlete’s Grit.” Meeting Actress Yeon Lee, Star of “Tango at Dawn” and “Gyeongju Trip” ③

[Lee Hwa-jeong’s Deep Detox] “Keep Running Without Rest With an Athlete’s Grit.” Meeting Actress Yeon Lee, Star of “Tango at Dawn” and “Gyeongju Trip” ③

A talk that approaches the actress with deep, measured breaths, like detoxing. Film journalist Lee Hwa-jeong speaks with the actors she has met.
▶ The meeting with actress Yeon Lee continues in Part 2. ​Unlike how she appears—bright-minded and bold in taking on challenges—what I heard is that the reason she started acting in the first place was a process meant to heal her fear.

[Lee Hwa-jung’s Deep Detox] “I want to be a giant seedless grape, not a strawberry.” Meeting actor Lee Yeon, Part ② of “The 21st-Century Crown Princess,” “Tango at Dawn,” and “Gyeongju Trip”

[Lee Hwa-jung’s Deep Detox] “I want to be a giant seedless grape, not a strawberry.” Meeting actor Lee Yeon, Part ② of “The 21st-Century Crown Princess,” “Tango at Dawn,” and “Gyeongju Trip”

A talk that reaches the actor through deep, steady breathing, like a detox. The actors Lee Hwa-jung meets in her film journalism.
▶ The meeting with actor Lee Yeon continues from Part 1. ​〈Juvenile Judgment〉 is a different situation, but it’s a portrayal of the dark side of teenage youths. I can imagine that darkness running counter to Lee Yeon’s brightness must have felt overwhelming.

Interview: Jun Ji-hyun on 〈Colony〉 — ‘I looked good in my previous project, too … there really was no special makeup treatment’

※ The interview with Jun Ji-hyun about 〈Colony〉 Part 1 continues here. Also note that the following contains spoilers for the film 〈Colony〉. Many people said she still looked great even in a blood-soaked raincoat. I’m just grateful people saw it that way.
