Stills of actor Hyun Bin in his upcoming movie Bargaining are making news due to the actor’s transformation.

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

On December 14, production company Plus M Entertainment released still cuts of the movie.

In the pictures, Hyun Bin is seen rocking a beard, which fails to hide the actor’s goodlooks. The actor also changed his haircut, opting to go with a classic slick-back hairstyle.

 

 

Bargaining tells the story of a Korean military operation to free Korean hostages held by the Taliban in Afghanistan.
 

Spoiler

 

 

In the movie, Hyun Bin plays a NIS agent who suffers from trauma due to a previous operation in Iraq in which he failed to free hostages. Hyun Bin’s character plans on retiring when he learns about the Korean hostages and flies to Afghanistan. The movie’s director, Lim Soon Rye, had previously stated he felt Hyun Bin was the perfect actor to play the character.

Park Dae Sik (Hyun Bin’s character) is primitive and free as the wind. I felt Hyun Bin would be able to act out the character’s loneliness and solitary personality well.

— Lim Soon Rye

Fans are anticipating a rougher, more rugged version of Hyun Bin — unrecognizable from the clean-cut, uniform adorned Ri Jeong Hyeok, the actor played in Crash Landing On You.

 

 

According to reports, in the movie, Hyun Bin’s character, who believes in fighting first and asking questions later, struggles to work with the operation’s lead negotiator, played by one of Korea’s most revered actors, Hwang Jung Min.
 

Spoiler

 

The movie Bargaining will be released on January 18.

5 Korean Romantic Movies That Will Make Your Heart Flutter

 

 

Almost all of us love watching romantic movies. Whether it be Titanic or Groundhog Day, there's something special about these kinds of films. But why do we love romantic films so much?

 

Research suggests that the reason romantic films are so popular is that love is one of the core emotions we respond to. We are all social creatures and thrive on receiving and giving love. As well as this, love satisfies our desire to feel worthy and needed.
 

For many years now, movie writers across the globe have tapped into our love of love to try and make their films more appealing and popular with audiences. One country that has done this more than most is Korea. In fact, we have seen many romantic movies released over the last few years from this part of the world, including "A Moment to Remember" and "Always".

 

However, these aren't the only movies worth mentioning. Here's a list of some of the Korean romantic movies that are sure to make your heart flutter:

 

 

2. "A Millionaire's First Love"

This romance movie was first released in 2006. In the movie, a rich young man is forced to move to the countryside to inherit his grandfather's fortune. Until he does this, he has no access to his cottage, penthouse, or credit cards, meaning he cannot live comfortably or complete a Ria international money transfer. While this isn't what he initially wants, he ends up falling in love with one of his classmates.

[SINGLE LIST]
Director Lim Soon-rye is looking for audiences with his new film 'Negotiation'.

 

“I started with the belief that I could tell stories centered on people who have the most basic vocation to save the people in crisis,” said director Lim Soon-rye, who told the story of the start of ‘negotiations’. 's sense of mission was put into play.

 

'The story of advancing without giving in to conventional wisdom', seen in his works so far, is centered around diplomats and NIS agents to rescue the hostages.

 

Director Lim Soon-rye and the production team filmed on location in Jordan, which has the most similar scenery and characteristics to Afghanistan, in order to capture the background of the film, Afghanistan.
 

'Negotiation', which will unfold an exotic yet unfamiliar land of chaos on the screen for the first time in a Korean film, will provide a wealth of attractions.

Hwang Jung-min, who played the role of 'Jeong Jae-ho', a diplomat specializing in negotiating to Afghanistan to resolve the kidnapping case, said, "The person I saw when I first started filming is the same person now. He said, “I have great respect as a person before the title of director,” and expressed his respect with the impression of working with director Lim Soon-rye after 21 years.

 

 

Hyun Bin, who played the role of 'Park Dae-sik', an NIS agent specializing in the Middle East and Central Asia who is trying to rescue hostages at all costs, said, "The director said that 'Gluttony' is a free person and a person who values life. He felt that the director himself was a very warm and caring person.”

 

Kang Ki-young, who plays the role of 'Kasim', the only local interpreter in Afghanistan and a weed-like Korean who survived in the back alley, said, "Beyond brightening the atmosphere, the director explained the details of the character's inner side, such as why 'Kasim' came to Afghanistan and what kind of person he would be. They took care of me a lot,” adding to the anticipation for the delicate directing unique to director Lim Soon-rye, who shone on the set.

 

Meanwhile, the movie 'Negotiation' will be released on January 18, 2023.

◇ Hyun Bin, Chuseok theater district saved by 'Confidential Cooperation 2'

Hyun Bin succeeded in the Chuseok theater district box office with the movie 'Confidential Assignment 2: International'. 'Cooperation 2: International' is a North Korean detective Rim Chul-ryeong (Hyun Bin) and a South Korean detective Kang Jin-tae (Yoo Hae-jin), who met again to catch a global criminal organization, and new face overseas FBI Jack (Daniel Henney), each for their own purposes. It is a film about an unpredictable triangular cooperative investigation by a group of detectives. 

Hyun Bin took on the role of Rim Cheol-ryeong, an elite North Korean detective who remains the same as in the previous film. In particular, this time, he not only showed a closer chemistry with Jin-tae Kang (played by Hae-jin Yoo), a salty South Korean detective, but also laughed at Jin-tae Kang's sister-in-law, Min-young Park (played by Yoon-ah Lim), and Daniel Henney, who plays Jack, a foreign detective belonging to the FBI. . 

In addition to this, various action scenes that have been upgraded more than the previous film also caught the eye. It showed a fly swatter action scene that continued the toilet paper action scene in the previous film, and captured a passionate performance with Jin Seon-gyu, who plays the villain Jang Myung-jun, with intense action. As a result, 'Confidential Cooperation 2: International' ranked 3rd in Korean box office this year and 4th overall, including foreign films, following 'Criminal City 2' and 'Hansan: Rise of the Dragon'.

“Negotiation Specialist Diplomat Hwang Jungmin and NIS agent Hyun Bin to rescue hostages
An impossible negotiation begins!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

[willenette]

*** January next year won't see as many theatrical releases as in past months like this month, but it will still have some exciting titles on offer for the audience, such as "Switch," "The Point Men" and "Phantom." "The Point Men", which wrapped up filming in 2020, was originally set for this year's release date. However, the studio delayed the film due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I hope this movie will be a box-office HIT, too. I believe 'No film is a failure if it has fans'. Movies with a strong fan base are likely to stay longer in theaters. They help their movies get attention and affect many others to want to see them.

@bearcreek  thanks for sharing this. It's HB 1st shabby looking role since over a decade ago in "The Snow Queen".
