irilight Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Long-lost granddaughter returns in ‘Canola’ Grandmother Gye-choon (left), played by Youn Yuh-jung, and her granddaughter Hye-ji, played by Kim Go-eun, in “Canola” (Contents Nandakinda) “Canola” is a genuinely moving film. It is refreshingly simple. It employs no gimmicks and focuses on delivering an original story about the bond between a grandparent and a grandchild. The film is set on the idyllic coast of Jejudo Island, where a young girl Hye-ji lives with her grandmother, Gye-choon, played by Youn Yuh-jung. A female diver, Gye-choon makes a modest living by selling the clams and fish she catches, and provides for her granddaughter, whose parents’ whereabouts are unknown. Hye-ji, who loves to draw, is inseparable from her grandmother. One day, when the two are at a bustling marketplace, Hye-ji goes missing. Gye-choon is devastated and spends years searching for her granddaughter and yearning for her return. Some 12 years pass and we are shown an older Hye-ji, played by Kim Go-eun, living a hard life in the streets with a gang of juvenile delinquents. When she gets into serious trouble with the law, she reaches out to her grandmother and the two finally reunite. Actress Kim Go-eun plays the granddaughter Hye-ji in “Canola.” (Contents Nandakinda) Hye-ji returns with an ecstatic Gye-choon to her hometown, the island paradise filled with yellow canola flowers. But having had to get by on her own in the city alleys for too long, Hye-ji is no longer the innocent little girl who needed to hold her grandmother’s hand to go to the bathroom at night. She has transformed into a surly, rebellious and “bad girl” as the townspeople now call her, Hye-ji is troubled by her past. Her artistic talents remain intact, meanwhile, and she expresses herself through painting. How much of the new Hye-ji will Gye-choon be able to embrace? Later in the film, there is a twist to the plot that takes what could have been an average family drama to new heights. Why is it that grandparents seem to be infinitely more forgiving of our flaws, more unconditionally caring than anyone else? Perhaps the wider generational gap gives them more room for understanding. The film doesn’t answer these questions, but it does provide food for thought on the human need for affection and our ability to find it where we can. The film’s director Yoon Hong-seung, who goes by the pseudonym Director Chang, said he wanted to make a “relatable” story.“I didn’t want to persuade the audience. I just wanted to present them with something they could relate to,” he said after a press screening of the film Monday in Seoul. “I stuck to the feelings that I’m familiar with.” Spoiler Actress Youn Yuh-jung plays the grandmother Gye-choon in “Canola.” (Contents Nandakinda) “I looked at myself in the film and I saw the face of my own mother, who is now 97,” said Youn, a veteran actress known to international audiences for her role in Im Sang-soo’s 2010 film “The Housemaid.”Min-ho of K-pop group SHINee also stars in the film as Hye-ji’s classmate and love interest. The film opens May 19. source 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubie Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 May 28, 2016 Kim Go Eun Hopes to Go Distance in Acting Source: The Chosun Ilbo Actress Kim Go-eun played the role of a troubled teenager in her latest film "Canola." The film deals with an emotional bonding between a girl and her long-lost grandmother as they reunite about a decade later. "Playing a delinquent teenage girl was a little hard in the beginning of the film as I couldn't relate to the character," Kim said. "I didn't think of running away from home nor dropping out of school during my childhood, as I lived in China until I went to middle school in Korea," she recalls. When asked how she felt about co-starring with veteran actress Youn Yuh-jung, she said she felt no pressure at all. "I felt close to her from the start as if we were really grandmother and granddaughter," she said. Debuted with a controversial role in the 2012 film "A Muse," which is about an affair between a poet in his 70s and a teenage school girl, Kim continues to build her filmography, appearing in several films with challenging roles. "I wanted to build my acting career step by step. Unlike my initial plan, I made my debut abruptly after a couple of independent films, so I had a hard time at the beginning but I think it eventually helped me to grow as an actress," Kim said. "I hope to go distance without many ups and downs." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooklinesinker Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 She's cute, talented, and I like her style (casual and fancy) so I'm going to do a light spam of some of her fashion moments that I like in no particular order. Shoes and stripes! Fresh and unexpected The color suits her. Shape, color, fit, silhouette, shoes... whatever, it all works for me. This is basically perfect. I really want this blazer or one like it. lol there are more than I expected so the rest are under a spoiler tag. Spoiler 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChunSungIm Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 New drama featuring Kim Go Eun, Gong Yoo, and Lee Dong Wook set to air soon! tvN's upcoming drama 'Goblin' has been confirmed to air in December! A tvN representative informed Newsen on August 9, "It's true that 'Goblin' plans to air some time in December. It was supposed to air earlier. The formation wasn't delayed but rather, because 'K2's schedules were switched around, it will start airing in December." Meanwhile, 'Goblin' is a fantasy/supernatural drama that will tell the tale of the friendship between a goblin that needs a human wife and a Grim Reaper with amnesia. Sounds pretty peculiar, huh? 'Goblin' is said to be written by Kim Eun Sook, the same writer who brought us the immensely popular 'Descendants of the Sun' and 'Lovers In Paris.' http://www.allkpop.com/article/2016/08/new-drama-featuring-kim-go-eun-gong-yoo-and-lee-dong-wook-set-to-air-soon #Goblin starring #GongYoo #KimGoEun & #LeeDongWook to be aired in December on tvN after #K2 #KoreanUpdates RZ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
