[drama 2009] Korean Ghost Stories / Hometown Legends 2009 전설의고향

[Guest s3rene]

Seems to me that they will recycle the Gumiho storyline although it's already been used in the previous adaptation of Hometown Legends 2008, starring Park Min Young. '___'

Cult classic goes bump in the night

2009-Aug-10

They're back. KBS' cult classic "Korean Ghost Stories" is returning to the small screen this summer. Titled "2009 Korean Ghost Stories," the series is looking to continue a tradition that was revived last year.

After a nine-year hiatus, the 2008 revival paid homage to a time-honored KBS custom that started in 1977. Double-digit viewer ratings for last year's series -- a reported average of 17.7 percent -- testified to its continuing popularity.

"Korean Ghost Stories" still had its mojo.

Now, KBS is testing the waters with yet another set of old-school ghost stories, starting tonight.

So, what can we expect from this summer's installment?

First off, two more tales were added to the mix, for a total of 10. A vampire will be kicking things off this year, proof that even KBS has not managed to escape the recent vampire craze. Also, this time around, the computer graphics give the 2009 version a bit more oomph.

A diverse line-up of vindictive ghosts will exact their revenge this summer, while inanimate objects, i.e. a wooden doll and a cursed book, will take on a life of their own.

Fans, however, can rest assured that the cheesy special effects and costuming that gave the original its cult status haven't changed much over the years. Neither has the overall content of the series, which will feature iconic figures like the nine-tailed fox.

This year, singer and actress Jeon Hye-bin will be tackling the classic role of the nine-tailed fox.

"I feel like it is a love story," said actress Jeon at a press conference held last week.

Jeon revealed the difficulties she faced with the slit-eyed lenses she wore for her role as a fox.

"The lenses kept moving," she said. "So I couldn't blink. ... We tended to film in the dark and I couldn't see well because of the lenses."

For actor Kim Ji-suk, who plays a vampire in the first episode of "2009 Korean Ghost Stories," the challenges he faced were more or less in the department of romance.

"The first kiss scene was very hard," he joked, looking at co-star Lee Young-eun. "She had her lips clamped firmly."

"There were a lot of outtakes for the kiss scenes," quipped Kim, who revealed that the characters lock lips twice in the upcoming episode.

When asked what he thinks about the recent popularity of vampires, Kim answered: "A male vampire can come across as sexy. Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise were sexy."

Will Kim make for a seductive vampire? Tune into "2009 Korean Ghost Stories" on KBS 2 TV, tonight at 9:55 p.m. to find out.

The production of the KBS TV "Korean Ghost Stories" was finally announced August 5 at the KBS International Conference Room. The venue was decorated with a placard showing a ghost and reading, "I've been waiting for this never-ending night." A video clip was also screened showing various scenes and computer graphics.

Starting from August 10, ten episodes of "Korean Ghost Storeis" will go on air, including "Vampire," "The Regrets of Bamboo Knife," "Servant," "Wood Ghost," "Surrogate Mother," "Forbidden Book," "Silent Village" and "Fox With Nine Tails." The series combines classical stories with modern plots and special effects.

"Vampire," which stars Kim Ji-seok and Lee Young-eun, will be the first in the series to deal with the subject of vampires. Kim Ji-seok, who plays a vampire, said, “Horror productions tend to follow Japanese and Western trends. But just like Korean-grown beef tastes the best, 'Korean Ghost Stories' is the oldest, most familiar and fun to watch horror series for Koreans."

The "2009 Korean Ghost Stories," which stars many talented actors like Kim Ji-seok, Lee Young-eun, Chun Hye-bin, Chang Hee-jin, Kim Tae-ho, Cho Yun-hee, Chung Kyeo-woon, Kim Hyung-mi and Ji Sung-woo, will air from August 10 on Mondays and Tuesdays at 9:55 on KBS TV2
