Movie 'Pure Comic' to hit the theaters on November 27

purecomictr5.jpg

The movie “Pure Comic” which is an adaptation of a comic of the same name, will be hitting the theatres on the 27th of November. This romance film casts Yoo Ji Tae, Lee Yeon Hee, Chae Jung Ahn and Super Junior member Kang In.

After the original comic was uploaded to the net, it recorded a total of 60million views and an overwhelming 200 thousand comments, causing quite a commotion in the comic industry during that time. And when the news of the comic was to be filmed into a movie, it immediately became a hot search term for major search engines in Korea. The four will play as individuals who has no strategy, no experience and no courage in front of love.

The filming for “Pure Comic” has already ended on the 9th October. On the day, apart from all the leading cast, the author behind the original work Kang Po also arrived at the scene to cheer for the team. The film will hit the theatres on the 27th November.

another article abt the movie:

an internet sensation aspires to conquer the screen

“In the face of love, these four men and women have no strategy, no experience, no courage, and no counterstrategy, but embark on a special romance in Soonjung Manhwa.”

This is how the new movie is being touted, and I’ve chosen not to translate the title because while “soonjung manhwa” literally means a “pure comic book,” it’s also the Korean term for what is more commonly known as “shoujo manga.” Here’s the Wikipedia definition of shoujo:

“[M]anga marketed to a female audience roughly between the ages of 10 and 18… [which] covers many subjects in a variety of narrative and graphic styles… often with a strong focus on human and romantic relationships and emotions.”

In any case, Soonjung Manwha has finished filming, and it seems like just the type of thing I’d go for. The movie is an adaptation of the internet manhwa which became a hit sensation, drawing in more than 60 million pageviews and building up an enthusiastic netizen audience.

The film stars Yoo Ji-tae (Oldboy) in the lead role, starring with Chae Jung-ahn (Coffee Prince), Lee Yeon-hee (East of Eden), and Kang In of Super Junior. Manning the camera is director Ryu Jang-ha, the writer for One Fine Spring Day and assistant director for Christmas in August

There’s a reason to be optimistic about the film with its sizable built-in fanbase from the internet original, plus its four good-looking stars (with two older and more experienced actors — Yoo, Chae — to balance out the other two hot young things, who target the younger market). But we won’t be able to find out for sure until the film opens on November 27.

유지태, 영화 ‘순정만화’서 로맨티스트로 등장

[스포츠월드] 2008년 11월 02일(일) 오후 09:22 가 가| 이메일| 프린트

유지태가 영화 ‘순정만화’에서 해맑은 로맨틱 남자로 돌아온다.

이 미 영화 ‘동감’ ‘봄날은 간다’ 등 여러 편의 멜로 영화에서 탁월한 감성연기를 보여준 유지태는 이번에도 따사로운 미소로 여성 팬들의 마음을 사로잡을 계획이다. 영화 ‘순정만화’는 사랑에 대해 수줍고 서툰 네 남녀의 특별한 연애 이야기. 유지태는 수줍음 많은 30살 청년 연우 역을 맡아 이연희와 멜로연기를 보여줄 계획이다. 연우는 어릴 때부터 혼자 자라 외로움에 익숙한 청년으로 감정을 제대로 표현하지 못하는 인물. 유지태는 “이번 연우는 주위에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 인물이다. 평범하지만 해맑은 인물로 어리바리한 면이 매력적이다”라며 “사랑할 때 모습이 나랑 비슷하다”라고 배역에 대해 평했다.

한편, 영화 ‘순정만화’는 강풀의 만화가 원작으로 인터넷에서 연재를 시작해 지금까지 6000만 명이 본 인기 만화. 유지태 이연희 채정안 강인이 출연하며 11월27일 극장에서 개봉된다.

Actor Yoo Jitae comes back as a romantic man in the movie ‘Romantic Comic.’

Yoo Jitae has proved his romance acting skills in the romance movies ’Ditto’ and ‘Spring Goes,’ and this time he is set to win the hearts of women fans with his warm smile. ‘Romantic Comic’ will be about the life of four men and women who do not know how to love. Yoo Jitae will take the role of a timid 30 year old man named Yeonwoo, and his partner in the movie will be Lee Yeonhee. Yeonwoo will be a man who is used to being lonely since he was young, and therefore is not good at expressing his feelings. Yoo Jitae says, “Yeonwoo is a type of person who you can see in everyday life. He is ordinary and pure, but his naivety is his charm. The way he loves a woman is like myself.”

‘Romantic Comic’ is based on an Internet novel, which has already attracted more than 60 million fans. Yoo Jitae, Lee Yeonhee, Chae Jungahn, and Kang In will be in the movie, and it will be released on November 27th.
