So Ji Sub 소지섭 - Best Korean Actor & Rapper -

***Master’s Sun I guess have a light horror edge to it. And maybe some camp for the humor. The teaser is definitely spooky but at the same time peaks your curiosity. It attracts me very much.

Upcoming drama previews: Master, Doctor, Who Are You, Her Legend

by javabeans | July 11, 2013

(skipped unrelated.....)

Teasers galore! We’re gearing up for a new wave of summertime dramas, and have the previews to prove it.

First up, we have the Hong sisters writing their ninth rom-com miniseries with Master’s Sun. It’s the Wednesday-Thursday show starring Gong Hyo-jin as the ghost-seeing heroine, who works for the haughty boss-man played by So Ji-sub.

The trailer has a distinctly Addams Family-esque camp-horror factor, which I dearly, dearly hope pays off in the final product. It could make for something very fun and quirky, or it could flop big time. We’ll have to wait and see.

In the teaser, So Ji-sub narrates, “Her world is a little… special.” That’s puttin’ it mildly. She sports a Mona Lisa smile and says, “I’ve been waiting for you.”

Crush Alert! Ivy flirts with So Ji Sub

On a recent broadcast of 1000 Song Challenge, IVY — who is currently promoting her new song, “I Dance” — appeared on the show, as well as Ladies’ Code So Jung and Eun Bi.

After explaining why Wonder Girls’ Yoo Bin — who is featured in the song — was unable to appear for the performance, IVY said, “We’re looking for a rapper,” sparking the casts’ interest. MC Lee Hwi Jae then recommended comedian Jo Se Ho, though Ivy declined by saying, “His face doesn’t match the concept of the song.”

Following this, the MCs asked, “Is there a senior or junior who you would like to feature with?” At this question, Ivy replied, “Honestly, I would like to cast Mr. So Ji Sub. He raps really well.” After complimenting him, she said, “I would really like to stand together on stage.”

Netizens who came across Ivy’s compliment to So Ji Sub commented, “Rather than acknowledging rapping skills, I think there is an ulterior motive,” “Ivy So Ji Sub love call? She matched well with Yang Dong Geun…,” “Ivy So Ji Sub love call, I think a very fresh stage will ascend.”

my sentiment too.... i freak out when i saw the ghost face and it was transform into the Gong Hyo Jin face. For a moment , i was thinking if Hyu Jin is also a ghost?? hahha but after seeing Ji sub's cheeky smile, i got a feeling that there'll be humor in this show.. i hope writer will write a jolly good script,...though i have no doubts about it. Write up on Jisub character is that he will come to protect hyo jin, i wonder how this miser, greedy guy will change into a warm and caring guy to protect the female lead,...  and hyo jin's words "i've been waiting for you" reel me into this drama like a dead fish even before it broadcasts.... did she have a feeling that this miser will help solve her ability to see ghost?? excited.... silly ranting...

Hi Yoshikitty, thanks for sharing all these stills. Wahhh..............So Ji Sub in gorgeous suits as he plays the role of Joo Joong Won, a wealthy shopping mall CEO. I guess his fashion will be garnering attention here for his colorful suit jackets, like that red/maroonish suit - hahaha. I look forward to So Ji Sub’s new image here. )

[HanCinema's Film Review] There is "Always" hope...

Song Il-gon's "Always" has completely won me over. There are a lot of Korean romantic dramas out there, but only a few of them manage to stay favourites. Great Korean love stories such as "Chunhyang", "The Servant", "Bad Guy", and "My Sassy Girl" come to my mind and, after watching So Ji-sub and Han Hyo-joo on screen together, I think I can safely state that I have another love-struck nugget of a film to add to that list.

Cheol-min (So Ji-sub) is a hard working 30-year old labourer and part-time security guard. He is also an ex-boxer with a dark and haunting history, a past that he is desperately seeking redemption for. During his first night as a security guard Cheol-min gets serendipitously introduced to Jeong-hwa (Han Hyo-joo), a visually impaired (clinically blind) woman with an adorable persona. Her high-spirited nature contrasts dramatically with Cheol-min's monosyllabic grit. The two find themselves falling in love as Jeong-hwa shows Cheol-min that love and forgiveness are Always possible.

"Always" really does have something for everyone. Fans will enjoy the heart-throbbing scenes of So Ji-sub training and sweating it out as the boxer trying to get back into the ring, and Han Hyo-joo embodies the kind of spirit that any sane man would willing throw his heart at. The chemistry between them was felt from the very first scene (which was actually just a cute misunderstanding), from there the film dramatically captures the constant push and pull of the forces that play at their star-crossed reunion.

I was surprised at the level violence in the film. For a heart-felt love drama such as this there were more cringe-worthy moments than I would have ever guessed. Unknown to Cheol-min, for example, Jeong-hwa is being sexually harassed at work by her manager, a real sleaze who actually tries to force himself on her eventually. The tragic subject of suicide is also present, a serious social issue for South Korea and its people. Cheol-min's dark history is also particularly graphic. One of his previous jobs was as a debt collector/muscle hound who taught people very physical lessons about not paying their debts. In the film he also climbs back in the ring, which makes him bloody proof that love can indeed hurt and be worth it. "Always" finds peace and love within the eye of the storm. These two individuals are not flying through life without a care in world before they meet; they are both seeking a loving new constant in their lives. The fact that the film is graphic at times, and that it deals with some serious social issues as themes, strengthens the touching tale being told. There is plenty of worthwhile magic to be found here – Fantastic.

*** I love the mirror posters though it’s pretty creepy when you have watched the teaser. I thought it wouldn’t be that scary because it is a rom-com. The teasers had me closing my eyes. I get goosebumps and freaked out.  This teaser is so bloody good, it will really kill me if this show doesn’t live up to it. My expectations have been heightened. But, it seems I’ll be watching this in the daytime! I don’t really dig horror dramas/movies. I find it usually totally boring. I have a really good feeling about this drama! Hope they’ll dial up the scary scenes by some comedic moment so I’ll be able to handle this one. Well, cannot wait. Please be good. I bet it is. It is so rare for me to see him smile but when he does I do a happy dance inside of me. We shall see.........)

Posters, new teaser and stills for Master’s Sun

by girlfriday | July 22, 2013

Things are looking up for Hong sisters rom-com horror drama Master’s Sun, with spooky posters and an eerie but funny teaser featuring Gong Hyo-jin as a heroine who can’t sleep, and spends her waking hours barely living and running from ghosts. She has quite the array of odd jobs too, because her ghost-seeing ability is always getting her fired from one job or another, and she goes from once being called “the big sun” (taeyang, a play on her name, Ms. Tae) to a solitary girl with constant dark circles, who shuts herself off from the rest of the world.

The stills show her myriad of part-time night jobs, from taxi driver to gosiwon housekeeper to shopping mall janitor. The last is where she meets our hero So Ji-sub, king of shopping malls. I love that she just falls into his arms in the teaser as she croons, “I want to sleep next to you,” followed by, “I want to touch you.”

And of course, she literally gets the line: “I see dead people.” She tells him about her ability to see ghosts (or affliction, as the case may be) and he challenges her to show them those things she sees, punctuated by a snarky, “You. richard simmons.”

Urg, we’re going to root for her to throw a pie in his face from the start, aren’t we? I do like that he’s playing up the assy boss with gusto though, so hopefully the fun will be in watching all that crumble over this woman everyone else calls crazy.

The hijinks begin August 7.

Filming still from 'The Master's Sun'

The production team for upcoming SBS TV Wed-Thu drama ‘The Master’s Sun’ has recently released a new set of photos where it showed everyone on the film set working hard together for the filming despite the hot and rainy weather conditions.

Filming began in early summer, but it met with the rainy season in recent times, which prompted the rescheduling of certain filming scenes. As a result, most of the filming for the rescheduled scenes started in the afternoon, and could only be concluded after midnight. But every cast member gave each other encouragement, and gave their all for the filming. In order to not disappoint viewers who have been anticipating the drama, the cast members are ignoring their own fatigue levels to film each and every scene with boundless passion.

The cast members of ‘The Master’s Sun’ are always wearing smiles on their faces for their filming each time, and their happy mood has been a source of energy for the entire production. So Ji Sub who plays the role of the egoistic and miserly Joo Joong Won in the drama, always wears a radiant smile on his face in between breaks during filming, and created an amiable mood at the film set. Gong Hyo Jin also demonstrated her trademark smile during breaks between the filming, and added much cheer to the film set despite her dark and gloomy role of Tae Kong Sil.

So Ji Sub and Gong Hyo Jin act as a bickering couple in the drama, but while the director gives the ‘OK’ sign, the two would immediately wear radiant smiles on their faces. The two also take good care of each other on the film set, and has been labelled as the ‘So-Gong couple’ by many who were envious of their relationship. Maknae Seo In Guk has also been showing his easy-going nature at the set, by dishing ice coffee and other food to the production staff, and winning their favour.

SBS TV ‘The Master’ Sun’ revolves around a relationship between an egoistic and miserly man, and a woman who is a cry baby and possesses the ability the see ghosts after an incident. The drama will succeed ‘I Hear Your Voice’ and make its debut on August 7th.
