For every screen-to-stage adaptation, a question follows: Is it just an aspiring profitable venture hoping to reap off the benefits of the original or is there real value in the remake?  
 
The musical adaptation of smash hit tvN K-drama “Crash Landing On You” (2019-20) is the former, but to its credit, confidently so.  
 
The three-hour show manages to pack the entire 16-part series, almost exactly following the narrative of the drama series which is about a South Korean chaebol heiress Yoon Se-ri, played by actor Son Ye-jin, and a North Korean military officer Ri Jeong-hyuk, portrayed by Hyun Bin, who fall in love after the heiress accidentally lands in North Korea while paragliding.

The musical is so eager to get to its romantic duets and elaborate fight scenes that everything else building up to these moments is decidedly fast forwarded.  
 
Also, much of the background of the characters and their intricate relationships aren’t explained enough and audiences are left to trace their memories back to two years ago when they watched the drama to figure out what is going on in the musical.  
 
It is a show for those who have watched the drama “Crash Landing On You,” which, to the credit of producers and creatives, is probably the majority of the people who chose to watch the musical anyway.

The musical has an ambitious and visually-appealing cast, many of whom have proved their talent on screen as well, such as actor Lee Jang-woo from drama series “Glory Jane, I Do, I Do” (2011), “My Only One” (2018) and “Homemade Love Story” (2020), and Lee Yi-kyung from dramas “Descendants of the Sun” (2016) and “Welcome to Waikiki” (2018).
 
The show contains 22 tuneful, pop-inflected numbers. All but one was newly written for the show.
 
Female duo Davichi’s “Sunset” which was part of the drama series’ soundtrack is sung in the second act by Seo Dan, a North Korean heiress, and Gu Seung-joon, a conman who falls in love with Seo Dan.

According to Popmusic and T2N Media, which holds the copyright for the musical “Crash Landing On You” the show is set to open in more countries.  
 
Earlier this month, the companies signed a contract with Japanese television station Fuji TV which gave the channel the exclusive right to the musical version of “Crash Landing on You.”  
 
The producer of the Korean show Kim Tae-hyung said in a press release last week that there are also plans to open a version of the musical with the original Korean cast as well as one with a Japanese cast.

The cast of “My Lovely Sam Soon” are all returning with projects in 2022: is Hyun Bin doing the best

phuongminhdo September 29, 2022

 

From Hyun Bin to Daniel Henney, the cast of “My Lovely Sam Soon” will greet the screen after 17 years with their respective works. 

When it comes to the most legendary K-drama during the 2000s, then the MBC series “My Lovely Sam Soon” is the unrivaled champion. The drama enjoyed great popularity with viewership rating surpassing 49.1%, eventually winning the Grand Prize Daesang at the 2006 Baeksang Arts Awards.

Now, 17 years after the 1st episode of “My Lovely Sam Soon”, four major cast members have all made their return to the Korean screen. In fact, all of these actors and actresses have since become well-recognized names that have their own leading roles. 

Kim Sun Ah

“My Lovely Sam Soon” is Kim Sun Ah’s breakthrough role, seeing that after this series, everyone has heard of the actress’ name.  Across her acting career, the actress earned 2 Grand Prize Daesang, and one of them is thanks to this insanely successful work. Now, in 2022, Kim Sun Ah has returned with the JTBC’s female-centric series “The Empire”.

“The Empire” will be aired during the weekends, and is considered a major project of broadcast station JTBC. In this series, Kim Sun Ah transforms into a talented, powerful, and ambitious prosecutor, and promises a stunning performance. While the series did not start with high viewership ratings compared to other competitors, it is held in high regard by viewers, raising expectations for future performance.

Hopefully, Kim Sun Ah will be able to repeat the glory she once brought to JTBC via the 2017 drama “The Lady in Dignity”. 

Hyun Bin & Daniel Henney

Hyun Bin, who played the male lead in “My Lovely Sam Soon”, and Daniel Henney, who played the second male lead, have recently reunited in the cinematic project “Confidential Assignment 2: International”. Unlike in “My Lovely Sam Soon”, however, they are partners who collaborate to catch a highly wanted criminal. While Daniel Henney has less screen time than Hyun Bin in “Confidential Assignment 2: International”, the two’s chemistry is still impressive, and both boasts strong images with their masculine and alluring visuals.

17 years ago, “My Lovely Samsoon” was a hit on the small screen, and 17 years later, Hyun Bin and Daniel Henney once again teamed up in a successful work. This time, it is “Confidential Assignment 2: International” on the big screen. Currently, “Confidential Assignment 2: International” has earned more than 40,558 million USD in ticket sales with about 5.61 million admissions. It has become the 3rd best-selling movie this year in Korean cinemas.
