Son Ye-jin Marries Two Men

A press preview for My Wife Got Married at Yongsan CGV in Seoul on Wednesday created plenty of buzz, not least because of Son Ye-jin, who plays a woman who breaks the established social framework by marrying two men simultaneously to seek genuine love and happiness.

In a press conference afterwards, Son said, I think she is a rare character given that she pursues free love. If I hadnt loved and cared for the character, it would seem unforgivable.

The film adds a new dynamic to the novel on which it is based. Viewers are drawn deep inside the story, losing their sense of what is right and wrong by conventional standards. The work embraces football as a subject matter like the original novel, where it serves as an important metaphor for love and life.

In the film it also plays an important role in bringing the main characters together in their first meeting and developing their feelings into love, Son says. She calls it a romantic melodrama that will appeal to the taste of young, laid-back people.

The film is to be released on Oct. 23.

Koreans go to the vault for B.O.

Older films like 'Sa-Kwa' finally get a chance

By HAN SUNHEE

SEOUL -- Thanks to a lackluster movie crop, older Korean films are finally getting their chance at the local box office -- some several years after they were completed.

Helmer Kang Yi-kwan's "Sa-Kwa" opened Oct. 16 through co-distributors Chungeorahm and Showbox, while helmer Bae Hyung-joon's "Once Upon a Time in Seoul" will be released Nov. 6 by distributor Studio2.0.

"Sa-Kwa" wrapped in December 2004 and premiered in several international film festivals, but didn't get a local theatrical release. Pic won the new screenwriter award at San Sebastian, and Fipresci Prize at Toronto in 2005.

The melodrama was originally skedded for a 2005 release, but was repeatedly delayed by distributor Showbox, which instead focused its efforts on helmer Bong Joon-ho's "The Host."

Produced by MK Pictures, "Once Upon a Time in Seoul" also wrapped at the end of 2006. Recalling megahit "Taegukgi," which scored more than 10 million admissions in 2004, "Seoul" is the story of two boys who suffered during the Korean War.

According to sources, the production team had confidence in the pic's box office potential when it was developed -- even though it stars relatively unknown young actors.

But once the Korean Wave peaked, the pic was regarded as too risky and lacking in marketing hooks. MK Pictures instead concentrated on "Forever the Moment" -- a hit earlier this year -- and kept "Seoul" waiting. Originally called "Boys Don't Cry," pic has also been retitled and is now distributed locally and internationally by Studio2.0.

The older films are getting their chance as there is a scarcity of big local films this fall in South Korea.

"The total amount of investment and production in domestic industry has conspicuously decreased since last year. That is causing the shortage of local film for distributors," said Lee Sang-moo, head of Korean film marketing and PR at CJ.

CJ this week releases romantic comedy "My Wife Got Married" and a low-budget independent feature "Summer Whispers." Except for a period drama "Portrait of a Beauty" on Nov. 13, the company hasn't confirmed distribution of any other local films until its in-house-produced romantic comedy "Lost and Found," in mid-December.

Showbox also is desperately hoping that the industry's fortunes will turn around. It is only planning to release only one local film, "Antique" on Nov. 13, before the end of this year. Helmer Yoo Ha's epic movie "A Frozen Flower" had been set for the end of the year, but post-production procedures issues may change that.

"There were too many local films considering the size of Korean market in the previous couple of years," says Park Jin-wii, PR team chief of Showbox. "Now it's time to adapt. The important thing is to distribute well-made quality pictures into the market, rather than volume or quantity."

'Eagle Eye' tops Korean box office

Film grosses $2.1 million in its second week

By HAN SUNHEE

SEOUL – DreamWorks thriller "Eagle Eye" held up well in its second frame at the Korean box office. It dropped only 35% in its second weekend atop the charts, grossing $2.1 million and taking its cume to $6.6 million.

"Crush and Blush," the acclaimed new Park Chan-wook- produced film, failed to meet expectations, earning a bare $1.2 million from 253,000 admissions during its four day run.

Bucking the trend, however, was global phenomenon "Mamma Mia!", which maintained its place at No.3 and added $585,000 from 117,000 admissions in its 7th weekend. Pic has grossed $20.2 million from 4.04 million admissions to date.

Three new foreign releases took their places in the charts. The Keira Knightley-starrer "The Duchess" ranked at No.4, with $590,000, while the Paul W.S. Anderson-helmed actioner "Death Race" followed at No.5, grossing $370,000. British comedy "How to Lose Friends & Alienate People" followed at No.6, with takings of $320,000.

This month's two biggest Korean film releases, "Modern Boy" and "GoGo 70s" slipped to No.7 and No.8 respectively.

"Modern Boy" still played on 306 screens, only to add $185,000 or 37,000 admissions. "GoGo 70s" added $170,000 this week, bringing its cume to $2.8 million.

According to sources, Korean theaters are reporting occupancy rates of less than 30% per screen, even lower than rates experienced during the 1997 Asian financial crisis.

Industry observers expect the current situation will be turned around with the upcoming releases of expected local blockbusters "My Wife Got Married," "Antique" and "Portrait of a Beauty."

She looks good on those wedding gown. I can just imagine when she really is getting married. She'll be the most beautiful wife. Her roles especially in movies are pretty broad. Some are even meture. Maybe she really does suit them. Or just that she can portray the role very convincingly.

[movie REVIEW]'My Wife' celebrates bigamy

She is cool, diligent and sexy. But her real specialty is juggling her time -- between two husbands.

"My Wife Got Married (Ane-ga Gyeolhon Haeta)," directed by Jung Yun-su, appears to center upon an irresistibly attractive female character who can manage two marriages at the same time, but Korean audiences, especially men, might think otherwise.

The refreshingly provocative movie, adapted from a best-selling novel of the same title by Park Hyun-wook, presents a heroine named In-ah (played by Son Ye-jin), a hardworking programmer who has no intention, at least initially, of getting married. Her life gets complicated when she encounters Deok-hoon (Kim Joo-hyuck), a former colleague, in the subway.

200810220029.gif

▲"My Wife Got Married"

It turns out that the two are huge soccer fans who love to spend hours talking about the European leagues and major players, throwing in all the mind-boggling statistics. Deok-hoon instantly falls in love with In-ah, which is hardly surprising. What's surprising, though, is In-ah's smooth seduction. Her punch line: "Why don't you come inside and have a cup of coffee?" Naturally, coffee at her house - which is filled with numerous used books (whose collection is her hobby) -- leads to something steamier, dragging Deok-hoon into the path of full-blown romantic passion.

So far, so good. Deok-hoon believes he's finally found a soul mate. The sex is also great. But he is made increasingly antsy by her mobile phone always being off. Her frequent boozing doesn't help, not to mention not coming home until early in the morning. Deok-hoon's anxiety gets out of hand when he imagines she's offering a cup of coffee to another man.

In Korea, there is an old saying that marriage is the tomb of all the love affairs. Deok-hoon, reminded of this great wisdom by a close friend, decides to end all possibility of In-ah having relationships with other men by proposing to her.

Tenacious courtship by Deok-hoon finally bears fruit in the middle of the wild crowd cheering for the Korean squad in the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup finals. As the Korean team makes it to the quarterfinals, Deok-hoon finally gets what he wants: monogamy with In-ah.

Yet the sweet honeymoon period does not last long, particularly for Deok-hoon. One day, she declares that she's going to get married to another man. Dumfounded, Deok-hoon asks her again and again about her real intentions. But In-ah remains firm. She has found a new love, but she does not want to give up on her current relationship, either.

For most Korean men accustomed to male-oriented culture, In-ah's proposal is both preposterous and rebellious, to the extent of attempting to shake up the entire traditional family structure. That's how Deok-hoon reacts to the double play of his wife. But this also raises a question about whether he is applying a double standard.

Aside from the legitimacy and effectiveness of polyandry in Korea, it has long been reported that many Korean men are no strangers to polygamy. Back in the Joseon period, having second or third wife was not only possible but also socially acceptable for the upper class.

In modern Korea, men still venture out to form alternative relationship outside of marriage. In some cases, they get away with having a long-term affair. Their wives know for years that their husbands are cheating, but they never get divorced, citing children and other excuses. This might well be seen as a mutation of polygamy, but wayward husbands probably care little about such moral complications.

"My Wife Got Married" will certainly come as an eye-opening shocker for Korean men who secretly desire adulterous relationships and still espouse the patriarchal family system. The marriage system in this movie is apparently unrealistic, but all the emotions -- jealousy, helplessness, desire for spreading genes -- are unexpectedly realistic.

The great puzzle is In-ah's ability to love the two men equally. She's faithful to them at the same time, doing all the household chores and taking care of their emotional instability. In contrast, Deok-hoon believes that such multitasking is neither possible nor desirable. But Deok-hoon is also helpless because it is In-ah who calls the shots -- a reversal that will give a liberating feeling to female viewers, most, if not all, of whom have been brought up under a male-oriented family system.

"My Wife Got Married," which opens today nationwide, also showcases Son Ye-jin's disarming smile and natural beauty, and Kim Joo-hyuck's dedicated portrayal of a Korean husband who is poor at multitasking.
