  1. ‘Daddy’ Can’t Fly Beyond Expectation

    By Kim Tae-jong

    Staff Reporter

    Lee Joon-ki, left, stars with Lee Moon-sik in “Fly, Daddy, Fly,” a local film adapted from a hit Japanese novel.

    The Japanese hit novel "Fly, Daddy, Fly'' is acclaimed for its witty portrayal of the sad situation of an ordinary man, who struggles to win back his status as a respectable father.

    But the new domestic film "Fly, Daddy, Fly,'' an adaptation of the Japanese novel, portrays only superficial charm without capturing the core elements of the original story.

    Directed by Cho Jong-tae, the film revolves around Chang Ka-pil (played by Lee Moon-sik) in his 40s, who leads an ordinary life with his adorable wife and their 17-year-old daughter.

    He faces a crisis when his daughter is severely beaten by a high school student boxer from a rich family and he finds there is nothing he can do.

    To prove that he is not a coward and will do anything for his family, he decides to take revenge and physically beat up his daughter's tormentor. For the seemingly impossible task, he asks Ko Sung-suk (by Lee Joon-ki), a rebellious high school student with talent for fighting, to train him.

    The film attracted media attention and the public's interest mainly because the nation's heartthrob Lee Joon-ki was cast in the film.

    He emerges from the image of his previous role of an effeminate court jester in the country's most viewed film of all time, "King and the Clown,'' by playing a physically much stronger and tougher role. But he fails to make a strong impression as he did in the first film.

    As the film fails to explain why Ko has a rebellious personality, unlike the original book, Lee's character appears only to act "cool'' with many pretentious gestures.

    The original character in the novel grows up as a Korean-Japanese in Japan, and experiences discrimination that alienates him from society. But in the film there are few clues as to why Ko has become an outsider.

    What bothers audiences most is the impression that they are watching a two-hour commercial starring Lee. His character wears clothes and shoes of the same brand, unnecessarily highlighted, and the brand logos appear too often in the film.

    But if you can lower your expectations about the "pretty'' actor, you may find fun elements in the film.

    As the story gradually unfolds, it actually turns out to be a movie focusing on actor Lee Moon-sik, who successfully portrays an ordinary fainthearted office worker with a strong affection for his family.

    His role is fun to watch, and at the same time makes you think about ordinary fathers who desperately struggle for their families in countless small battles in everyday life.

    I'm sorry but I dont't have the subtitles and I dont think it was ever subtitled.

    I think there's pros and cons about this MP3 - I became a fanatic because of one particular

    fan helped and I remembered her for the rest of my life (innerouter2000) She's the one that

    help me uplod Bi album - all three of it and I am forever grateful. And because of those

    mp3 - I decided to get the original. So who am I to preach rite.

    Yes, there are pros and cons about MP3 but... it's thanks to Biers who shared his music that I had the chance to hear and appreciate (and then buy) Rain's songs.

    Cha - about FH - It's just my opinion.. I may be wrong - but that's what I see everytime new poll pop up,

    comparing Bi with every alphabeticals and numbers .. Bi vs M, Bi Vs 7 ..

    I saw your post on M vs Bi thread. Well said! :D

    It seems some polls are done with the only purpose of bashing Bi. :sweatingbullets:

  3. A Love to Kill billboard in Cannes, France :w00t::w00t:

    Photo was taken by Hama (of www.3asian.com) during her trip to France. She saw this billboard in Cannes.

    I think it's related with the MIPTV, an international TV program market that opens every April in Cannes.

    This is an article where they talk about Korean drama series: "New-media distribution center stage at MIPTV"

    Here's an extract of the article:

    "... A strong contingent of Asian buyers were in town looking for Korean drama series, with competition for top titles, such as Korean Broadcasting System's "A Love to Kill" and "Goodbye Solo," particularly fierce among buyers from Taiwan, China and Hong Kong.

    Phoenix Satellite Television Chinese (a News Corp. joint venture) channel's deputy head Angela Fung has upped the quota of Korean drama from 20% of the 7-8 p.m. slots stripped from Mondays-Fridays to 70% over the past few years.

    "The quality of Korean drama has improved," she said. "At the same time, the market is changing." These changes include the decrease in Taiwanese drama production and the declining popularity of Japanese drama.

    KBS international distribution manager of global strategy team Sunny Ryu said "A Love to Kill" already had been sold to broadcasters in Asia, including stations in Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan. ..."
