Talk of the town

Actor Kim Sang-kyung

The tooth fairy brings romance Dental treatment is not usually regarded as something that can change somebody’s fate.

However, much to the public's surprise this was the case for actor Kim Sang-kyung. Four months ago, during a trip to the dentist, he came across Kim Eun-kyung, a beautiful dentist who was in charge of his tooth cleaning. “At first sight, I could tell she was my destiny,” he said.

Kim Sang-kyung took the first step by calling his new tooth fairy the next day to arrange a dinner appointment. This start launched them toward their wedding, which is scheduled for Oct. 4 in a Seoul hotel.

“His humble and sincere demeanor appealed to me,” said the bride-to-be. “I was convinced he would make a good husband.” They have already decided on their wedding attire and have started wedding preparations. One reason for their haste is that Kim Sang-kyung will be occupied from October for a year or more, shooting “Sejong the Great.”

The male Kim, 35, has recently been seen in the box office success “May 18.” The female Kim, 30, is currently head of a dental surgery in Jongno, Seoul.

‘Montage' Um Jung Hwa talks about why she chose the movie Source: StarNews l Nate


Um Jung Hwa, Kim Sang Kyung, and Song Young Chang of film 'Montage' revealed why they decided to cast in the movie.
Um Jung Hwa, Kim Sang Kyung, and Song Young Chang, who casted in a great number of hit movies finally met up. They recently casted in movie 'Montage', which will be released on May 16th.
Film 'Montage' is a movie about three victims who lost daughter, grand daughter, and life because of similar crimes.
Um Jung Hwa, who is undoubtedly one of the highest actresses of Korea, will be casting as a mother who lost her daughter 15 years ago.
The reason why Um Jung Hwa decided to cast in 'Montage' is because of the great and unique plot development. Um Jung Hwa said, "I've casted in a number of other thriller movies, and I also casted as a mother. However, 'Montage' was different. I could feel an emotional rush after a suspenseful plot development, and I hope to watch the movie with my family members."
She continued, "I thought everyone would like 'Montage'. This is the best movie of my career yet," showing a great amount of confidence in the movie.
Kim Sang Kyung, who also casted in a great number of hit movies, will be casting as a detective who investigates about a case from 15 years ago.
Kim Sang Kyung said, "Cheong Ho in 'Montage' is a very unique character. I could feel something that I could not feel in other movies."
Lastly, Song Young Chang, who has been active as an actor for 24 years, is one of the best veteran actors who casted in a great number of hit movies as well.
He said, "I had a great trust in director Jung Geun Seop and the scenario. I could not believe the scenario was written by such a young director. My trust in him grew even larger while shooting."
Song Young Chang casted in 'Montage' as a grandfather who lost his grand daughter, and it is said that he even had an action scene.
On the other hand, 'Montage' is currently being talked about as one of the most anticipated movie of May.

Uhm Jung-hwa and Kim Sang-kyung’s thriller Montage
by girlfriday dramabeans.com
It looks like Uhm Jung-hwa (Dancing Queen) has another box office hit on her hands with her suspense thriller Montage, which opened yesterday in second place against Hollywood blockbusters The Great Gatsby and Iron Man 3. The film stars Uhm Jung-hwa as a mother who lost her child to a kidnapper fifteen years ago, and Kim Sang-kyung (Tower, White Christmas) as the detective who failed to close the case and remains haunted by it to this day.


Fifteen years ago Uhm Jung-hwa’s daughter gets kidnapped and she and the detective on the case fight tooth and nail to get her back, and fail. Suddenly, fifteen years later — and five days before the statute of limitations runs out on the case — a single flower is left at the scene of the crime. Days later, a grandfather takes his eyes off his granddaughter for just a minute… and she disappears. Eep. Okay, I know I’m the one recounting the story to you, but I just creeped myself out.
So fifteen years later the kidnapper has returned to repeat his crime move by move, which doesn’t sound very smart, but maybe he’s feeling invincible since he can no longer be charged for the first crime, or maybe he’s just an insane person. In any case, once they learn of the second kidnapping, the mother who already lost her child and the detective who let it eat away at him all this time join forces to retrace their steps from the first crime, to try and save the second little girl before it’s too late.
Montage is in theaters now.

HanCinema's Film Review: "Montage"
Review by William Schwartz Hancinema.net



It's been fifteen years since the apparent murder of a young child. Detective Chang-Ho (played by Kim Sang-kyeong) discovers something astonishing at an emotionally charged location- a place only known by himself, the child's mother, and the the girl's kidnapper. With this, a race quickly begins to try and apprehend the criminal before the statute of limitations run out.
"Montage" is produced excellently. From the very first scene, there's palpable, alarming, painful tension in the air, and this never really lets up. Director Jeong Geun-seop doesn't achieve this by just tossing into adrenaline-pumping action scenes, though. Rather, the terror mainly comes from the quiet moments, where the audience has no idea what will happen next, and even a fakeout ends up leaving us in a mildly panicked state.
While this is all well-done, for quite some time a lot of the film feels like it's just going through the motions. I thought to myself at times, yes, Mr. Director, you've established that you can make good thriller material. Is this really all that you have? I know the tropes you're using and I can tell what you're doing. This is all great pot-boiler material, but a film needs more than a quick heart beat and deliberate precision to make for a good narrative.
Consider this review the recanting of the faithless. The film's technical merits are no anomaly. "Montage" is a far deeper story than its seemingly perfunctory use of tropes implies- a deliberate, and brilliant move on the part of the director. When revelations about the true nature of the crimes start being revealed, previous storyline events that just seemed like clever screenwriting take on an entirely new dimension.
The film's villain, for example, seems for quite some time to just be your typical diabolic puppetmaster, pulling everyone's strings for the sake of twisted personal amusement. This is not (as is implied by the first significant event) to be true. In actuality, the nature of the crimes committed are substantially more evil than that, even though the emotions driving them are about the most positive imaginable. If you haven't seen this film, this combination probably sounds completely impossible.
And yet, fully and beyond any possible doubt, it works. The film is a stirring, profound exploration of why people do horrible things. Hardly anyone leaves this film with their hands perfectly clean. But it's not the blood on your hands that matters. It's the sequence of events that led there, and what follows afterwards. In a world where movie morality is typically determined by whoever has the best ends to justify the means, "Montage" presents moral dilemmas where we know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, who's going to heaven and who's going to hell based not on their literal actions or even their motivation but rather by understanding just how much they have needlessly chosen to damage other people in pursuit of their goals.
There is, suffice to say, a lot of material worth stewing over here. All you need is faith. Every single shot, every single character action, serves a clear deliberate purpose in the overall story. While "Montage" may mislead the viewer to maximize thrills, what we get by the end is worth so much more than that, and is so profoundly effective, that all this misdirection is easily forgiven. That is how strong a portrait this film paints.
