Ode to my Father - Dec. 17, 2014Love Forecast - Jan. 14, 2015  (edited)Chronicals Of a Blood Merchant - Jan. 15, 2015Gangnam 1970 - Jan. 21, 2015My Love, Don't Cross That River - Nov. 27, 2014
I just noticed that some films are opening this week on Thursday while Gangnam 1970 opens on a Wednesday. I guess there's no standard day when Korean films open ? Like here in the US, they usually open Friday or day before a long weekend. 
(edit: some websites listed Love Forecast for 14th, while some for 15th).

He explained that Jong Dae decides to approach Gangnam real estate speculator, Madam Min (Kim Ji Soo) to fulfill his desires.

“The two actually had a bed scene together, but in regards to the movie’s transition, it didn’t feel needed, so I took it out.”

Meanwhile, Gangnam 1970 is a movie about the desire, loyalty, and betrayal of two men, Jong Dae (Lee Min Ho) and Yong Gi (Kim Rae Won), during 1970s when Seoul was going through rapid development. This is the final piece of director Yoo Ha’s street trilogy as well as Lee Min Ho′s first movie.

[spot] ‘Gangnam Blues’ No more pin-up boy! Lee Min-ho proves he’s action star

A premier of the movie ‘Gangnam Blues’ was held on January 13^th 1at Wangsimni CGV theather in hang-dang dong, Seong-dong gu, Seoul. The actors Lee Min-ho, Kim Rae-won, Jeong Jin-young, Kim Seol-hyun and Director Yu Ha participated in the event.

The leading actor Lee Min-ho played the role of Kim Jong-dae.

The theater was crowded with reporters and photographers to cover the premier.

To the question asking whether there wasn’t anything tough while the shooting, Lee Min-ho said, “This is my first movie as the leading role. There sure is a difference between doing a drama and a movie.” He continued, “That is why I tried to focus on not maintaining my acting style, or habits that I had when I was doing a drama.

He expressed his gratitude toward Director Yu as well. “I just wanted to describe my role, Jong-dae. Director Yu helped me a lot to act naturally.”

In the movie, there is no more pin-up boy image of Lee Min-ho. “I have never played the role of a person who’s poor, or short of money. My role was always born from a rich family. I don’t think anyone could ever think of me as a junkman. I hope the viewers take it as ‘Actor Lee Min-ho’s challenge’ and show full support and interest.

The movie ‘Gangnam Blues’ will be on the big screen from January 21^st.

[spot] ‘Gangnam Blues’ Lee Min-ho says Jong-dae is man of desire

A premier of the movie ‘Gangnam Blues’ was held on January 13^th 1at Wangsimni CGV theather in hang-dang dong, Seong-dong gu, Seoul.

Actor Lee Min-ho confessed an episode of having a hard time shooting a cruel scene.

“I understand that everyone can be violent at times. It’s a matter of controlling your violence, with reason. When I was filming this movie, I tried to expressed my inner violence and cruelty for the first time in my life.” He said.

“I would have to say that it was not easy, even when I was not working. It was mentally devastated and exhausted, as I had to follow the atmosphere and take it in.” He confessed.

Lee Min-ho’s relaxed smile during the premier

To the question asking about the senior actors, “When I meet someone in person, I tend to study that person by his or her first impression. When I met all the senior actors of ‘Gangnam Blues’, all of them were so nice and warm, they made me feel so comfortable. It was grateful.” Lee said. “I called Jeong Jin-young sunbaenim(senior), father from the first day I met him. I have always admired Kim Rae-won sunbaenim. I was able to shoot well, thanks to them.”

About his role in the movie, Lee min-ho said, “I had to get a clue from the present instead. I tried to understand how it is to struggle to make a living by sewing, and to be responsible for supporting a family at that time. Director Yu put it out into a story and came with a good result.” He expressed his gratitude for Director Yu Ha.

The movie ‘Gangnam Blues’ will hit the theaters from January 21^st.

Presales for 1/13/15

@adamfever, I think these numbers are fine. Think about the fact that the movie is not out yet, and won't be out for more than a week, yet people are anticipating it enough to where they are purchasing tickets this far in advance. It is expected that movies that are already out and those who are being released this week are higher up. This is normal.
I think it is a good sign that the movie is even charting at all, especially so far ahead of release. I think the numbers will gradually increase the closer it gets to release day.

Some Review Articles (in KR)
Review #1; #2; #3; #4; #5; #6 
There's a lot more articles. If you know where to find them, you can look through. I haven't checked overall critic's rating score yet. My extremely limited impression from those articles suggests that it's been getting positive reactions, and of course there's always a little quibbles here and there. But overall, it's good.
Maybe @zinnia - can give a better impression on what critics have said about the movie and performances? 
And lastly, please don't feed the trolls
Gangnam Blues, fighting!

G'70 mentioned:

For the upcoming movies in Jan, they only mentioned G'70 and Chronical of a Blood Merchant, totally missed out Love Forecast. Is it because LF is a romantic movie and industry people don't consider it 'serious' enough (similarly Directo Yoo Ha also sees some of Minho's dramas as cheesy)?
