Showdown of Male Hallyu Stars on TV

By Han Sang-hee

Staff Reporter

Park Yong-ha plays the determined inmate-turned-M&A expert in the drama "The Slingshot'' which airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 9:55 p.m. / Courtesy of M.A.C.

Hallyu stars Park Yong-ha and Kwon Sang-woo are moving into the television spotlight where, until recently, pretty boys, shiny sports cars ("Boys Over Flowers'') and even a historic hero ("Iljimae Returns'') dominated.

The leading men of new dramas "The Slingshot'' (KBS) and "Cinderella Man'' (SBS), respectively, are expected to heat up the already star-studded drama casts, which include So Ji-sub, Kim Nam-ju and Jung Ryeo-won.

Written by Song Ji-na as the final piece of her trilogy ― the first two being "Eye of Dawn'' (1991) and "Hourglass'' (1997) ― "The Slingshot'' is expected to capture the reality of today's money-driven world.

"We focused on the world of men and women who are willing to sacrifice their lives for money, a world where money dictates. But I still tried to make a lighter, enjoyable and somewhat touching series,'' Yoon Sung-sik, the producer, said at a press conference last week in northern Seoul.

Park, 31, plays Kim Shin, who chooses jail after realizing he has no way to pay back his debt. Inside, he is resigned to his fate, until he finds out about the stocks scandal that caused the suicide of his brother, which made him borrow the money in the first place. Furious, Kim prepares for revenge and founds a "dream team,'' including actress Park Shi-yeon who plays his lover. The dark, cold-blooded Chae Do-woo, played by Kim Kang-woo, is his enemy in the drama. The actor was the winner of the Best Actor Award at the Torino Film Festival in 2007.

In a short preview clip, the three characters showed that they were serious in depicting their characters, which departed from their usual images. Park, who only recently revealed his manly side with the hit drama "On-Air,'' played a tough inmate with eyes blazing with revenge, while Park Shi-yeon showed her softer side, far from the usual sexy and sultry characters she's been known for. Kim successfully transforms himself into the shadowy and cold-blooded villain Chae, perfectly matching his dark suits, sharp expressions and harsh words.

When asked if the choice of the tough guy role was deliberate, Park smiled and admitted it was about time.

"Yes, I felt I needed a change in the characters that I play. I also came to realize that these roles fit me better at my age, compared to the fragile and pretty characters I have been portraying,'' he said.

Kwon Sang-woo stars in the new MBC drama "Cinderella Man,'' which airs Wednesdays and Thursdays at 9:55 p.m. / Courtesy of MBC

Meanwhile, the also fairly "pretty'' Kwon Sang-woo returns to television screens for the first time since his marriage with actress Sohn Tae-young and the birth of their son. The 32-year-old actor will not only star in a drama the first time in a year, but also play two different characters simultaneously.

Kwon plays the poor, yet determined Oh Dae-san, an aspiring designer whose priorities in life are money and fame. His life takes a drastic turn when he meets Lee Jun-hee; the son of an apparel company who looks exactly like him. When the latter disappears, Oh is given the task of living the life of the rich fellow during the day. Lee does not return, and when Oh realizes that he is actually good in filling the shoes of his unrelated "twin,'' his deepest desires and dreams start to unravel.

"Cinderella Man'' also made headlines for the appearance of Yoo-na, a member of the popular girl group Girls' Generation, as Oh's love interest despite the 14 year age gap.

"It's not a big budget program, nor does it have an overwhelming storyline. It's real, about us, and personally, something I can relate with and also show myself,'' Kwon said during a press conference last week in central Seoul.

The overall drama may have not called for a big budget, but it did require special effects and equipment to get the two characters played by Kwon in the same scene.

The drama crew used the Motion Control Camera (MCC), which costs about 1 billion won and 5 million won for a day's rental. With the help of advanced technology, viewers will get to watch two Kwons walk past each other.

"I'm not pressured by (ratings). As my previous work, 'Bad Love,' was considered a big failure, I think this one will do much better. I'm not happy to compete with my good friend So Ji-sub from the drama 'Cain and Abel,' but the good news is that 'Cain' is coming to an end, while we are just starting,'' Kwon said, smiling to reporters.

"The Slingshot'' airs every Monday and Tuesday at 9:55 on KBS, while "Cinderella Man'' airs every Wednesday and Thursday at 9:55 on MBC.

[04.08.09] SNSD's Yoona, "Shin Seunghoon's participation in 'Cinderella Man' is an honor

o59jti.jpg

For MBC's Wed-Thurs drama, Shin Seunghoon will participate in Cinderella Man's OST, which Yoona felt very honored for.

SNSD's Yoona has a lead role in 'Cinderella Man' said, "Even before my debut, Shin Seunghoon sunbaenim was the singer I respected the most. The fact that I'll be acting in a drama that also has Shin Seunghoon sunbaenim's song is touching and is a honor."

Also, "Hearing Shin Seunghoon's sunbaenim's song, I Believe, which was in the movie, My Sassy Girl, I thought to myself, 'Will I ever get a chance to act with Shin Seunghoon sunbaenim's song playing in the background?' I'm very glad that through Cinderella Man, that whim became a reality."

'Cinderella Man' is about Oh Daesan, who works in a Dong Dae Moon fashion store, finds a clothing company's heir who looks exactly like him and for a month, takes his place as a part-time job. It's like a modern drama of 'The king and the bum'

Kwon Sangwoo is Oh Daesan and Lee Joonhee, taking on two roles and Oh Daesan's older brother role is taken by Song Changui. Yoona plays Seo Yoojin and while studying abroad at a fashion school in Paris, her father passes away and she returns to Korea to work at his Dong Dae Moon business. She then becomes scouted into a clothing company's design team. The role of Seo Yoojin's fashion school sunbae, who is a model/designer is played by Han Eunjung and there is a love-square romance.

'Cinderella Man' will replace the currently airing 'Return of Iljimae', starting from the 15th at 9:55 PM.
