Following a string of major hits, character actor JIN Seon-kyu has signed on to appear in the upcoming space-set blockbuster Victory Ship(translated title), which will be the comeback project of A Werewolf Boy (2012) director JO Sung-hee.

 

With a reported budget of KRW 20 billion (USD 17.6 million), JO’s ambitious new work is drawing a lot of attention in the industry as it seeks to introduce the space drama genre to the Korean film market. Also boosting the curiosity factor is the potential casting of JO’s A Werewolf Boystar SONG Joong-ki and The Handmaiden (2016) lead KIM Tae-ri, both of whom have been approached but have yet to officially sign.

 

Spoiler

JIN has been active on the big screen ever since KIM Jee-woon’s The Good, The Bad, And The Weird (2008), but after dozen of small roles he got his major break acting alongside Don LEE (aka MA Dong-seok) in the surprise hit THE OUTLAWS (2017), which earned him major acclaim within the industry. After another thriller hit last year with Dark Figure of Crime (2018), his reputation among the public was sealed forever in early 2019 as one of main cast members of the crime comedy Extreme Job, which became the second most successful Korean film of all time with over 16 million tickets sold.

 

Victory Ship, which is being financed by the new film investor Merry Christmas, is currently in pre-production and is eyeing a production start date in the second half of the year.

'Arthdal Chronicles' to explore fabled, first monarchy on Korean Peninsula [VIDEO]

By Dong Sun-hwa, Park Si-soo 

Forget Song Joong-ki being stylishly outfitted in "Descents of the Sun" and Jang Dong-gun in gentle tuxedo in "A Gentleman's Dignity." 

They will appear in ragged animal skins, barefooted and dirt-coated from head to toe in cable network tvN's big budget (40 billion won) drama "Arthdal Chronicles." 

Their stunning transformation came to light on Friday through the drama's 15-second teaser video. 

Watch the teaser: bit.ly/2KznpZA

The clip starts with a narration: "Here is the place where everything begins." It shows Song and Jang competing or partnering in a ruthless race to take the helm of fabled ancient kingdom Arthdal, portrayed in the drama as the first monarchy on the Korean Peninsula. 

While Song plays "Eun-seom," a cursed child who later takes control of Arthdal, Jang plays "Ta-gon," an ambitious war hero and rival of Eun-seom. Actress Kim Ji-won plays "Tan-ya," an unblessed woman who becomes the kingdom's first female politician. 

The first episode of the 18-episode drama will be aired in June.

 

 

Meanwhile, the drama's producer has come under fire for its exorbitantly long shooting time that way exceeded the 68-hours-a-week legal limit. 

Studio Dragon reportedly forced shooting crews to work more than 151 hours in seven days (Feb. 27-March 5) in Brunei, a blatant violation of the Labor Standard Act laying the ground for the upper ceiling for weekly working hours. 

Some crew recently filed a complaint with the labor ministry, calling for an investigation into what they called "unfair" working conditions. 

The production company said it "had strived to improve working conditions."

Song Joong Ki Exudes Rugged Charm In First Photos For Upcoming Drama

 

April 17, 2019 / by K. Lew

 

tvN’s “Arthdal Chronicles” has shared its first photos of Song Joong Ki!

 

“Arthdal Chronicles” follows the stories and fates of heroes in the mythical city of Arthdal, said to have been the capital city of the Gojoseon kingdom, as they create legends. Song Joong Ki plays Eun Seom who fights to protect his tribe. This will be his first drama in three years since starring in the hit drama “Descendants of the Sun.”

 

In the released photos, Song Joong Ki blends in with the wild with his tousled hair and leather clothing. He appears quite at ease around the, stroking its head affectionately. In other photos, he gallops away atop his horse, giving a fierce look.

 

 

Writers Kim Young Hyun and Park Sang Yeon have previously worked with Song Joong Ki for “Tree With Deep Roots.” On working with him for the second time, they remarked, “A few years ago, there was a time when we said about Song Joong Ki, ‘Even when he explodes with emotion, there is a side of him that is rational.’ Song Joong Ki is an actor that is able to have these two conflicting aspects coexist. That is why we love him as an actor.”

 

The two writers added that they hoped that this dual aspect would shine when portraying the character Eun Seom. They also praised the actor, saying that when watching him act as Eun Seom, he has a gaze that says, “I don’t know anything but I am extremely clever, and I don’t have any kind of strength right now but I won’t lose in the end,” which lines up perfectly with the intention of the drama.

 

They shared that Eun Seom is a beautiful character with an innocent face, but when an attack comes, he reacts right away and attacks back. He doesn’t hesitate and accepts whatever emotions come after. They commented, “The most important role that Song Joong Ki must fulfill is showing a naive face with basic instinctual reactions while asking basic instinctual questions.”

 

The production staff stated, “He is so in sync with his character for ‘Arthdal Chronicles’ that you can only think of him as Eun Seom and not Song Joong Ki. Please look forward to Song Joong Ki’s explosive performance in ancient civilization, which will be shown for the first time in Korea.”

 

“Arthdal Chronicles” is slated to air in June on Saturdays and Sunday, following “Confession.”
