[Kim Ji-yeon's Treasure Box] The Actor Buzzworthy Dramas Discovered First: Chae Seo-an of 'Brave New World' and 'The Great Lady of the 21st Century'

I'm curious about people. Even actors already drawing attention can still be at their most obscure. 'Kim Ji-yeon's Treasure Box' spotlights performers whose profiles are still rising. Consider this an early look at actors whose careers are climbing fast.
An intriguing new actor is emerging fast. After making a meteoric entrance as the plaintive 'Mrs. Hak' in 〈Completely Fooled〉, Chae Seo-an went on to play IU's not-quite-hateful, slightly obnoxious new sister-in-law in 〈The Great Lady of the 21st Century〉 and has kept turning up in one buzzy...

How Jim O'Rourke's 'Eureka' Set Aoyama Shinji's 〈Eureka〉 in Motion

How Jim O'Rourke's 'Eureka' Set Aoyama Shinji's 〈Eureka〉 in Motion

I am drawn to music in film. At times, music reveals a character's private emotions in ways images and dialogue cannot. It can also open a window into a creator’s hidden intent. For me, understanding film music was one way into the film itself. "Chu A-young's Music Box" listens closely to a film’s voice through its music. (P.S. I hope you listen to the music while you read.)
Director Aoyama Shinji's film 〈Eureka〉 is a road movie about wounded people who travel an endless road in search of the possibility of healing and renewal. The characters, survivors of a terror that shattered ordinary life, set out on a trip to escape the trauma of the incident.

[Lee Yeo-jeong’s Deep Detox] “Thank You to My Past Self.” Lee Yeon on “the ‘Dynasty Lady of the 21st Century,’” “Tango at Dawn,” and “Journey to Gyeongju” — Part 1

A talk that approaches the actor with deep, cleansing breaths. Actors Lee Yeo-jeong meets.
“I should get paid a really big amount of money.” Borrowing a line from Dobby-seo, she delivered a compliment aimed at the Dobby-seo of 〈the Dynasty Lady of the 21st Century〉. Lee Yeon’s performance, which breaks the mold of what a typical secretary in a drama looks like, gives off a lively, bouncy...

[Kim Ji-yeon's Jewelry Box] You Already Knew Lee Hyo-je! 'If Wishes Could Kill' Lee Hyo-je

I am curious about people. Even if someone is already a noticed actor, today may be the least famous they'll ever be. 'Kim Ji-yeon's Jewelry Box' introduces actors who are reaching new highs by the day. Treat these 'soaring stocks' as 'buy-the-dip' opportunities.
The first time I saw Lee Hyo-je, or rather the first time I 'mistook' that I had seen him, was at a small theater. Earlier this year, Lee Hyo-je took the stage as the character Gi Ho-tae in the youth troupe Bu-eong Waltz's play 〈Escape from Reality〉.
