Korea is riding on the
"hallyu" movement - the globalization of Korean dramas
(K-dramas). Whether it's Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, China
or the U.S., viewers who watch Korean dramas are enamored by the
"real" acting and fascinating stories that unfold
before their eyes.
K-dramas are a refreshing
change for many, and some, like Winter Sonata, take them back to
first loves. Others like, Dae Jang Geum, tell about
history in a fascinating way with rich costumes and realistic
sets.
While some viewers may
find them too "mild" for their taste, many others will
be thrilled to find tasteful, endearing programming that reels
them in and leaves them wanting more...and more...and
more....and then they're hooked only to find that they are part
of the "hallyu" movement.
Buying
Korean Dramas
If you are
interested in buying Korean dramas, be careful where you buy
them. Buying from eBay and other sites may be less
expensive, but as the saying goes "you get what you pay
for."
From personal
experience, buying off of eBay or other sites usually results in
bootleg or illegal copies of the dramas which results in poor
picture quality. Some bootleg copies also have very poor
English subtitles, ranging from jibberish to excessive foul
language. The only site we use and recommend, because of
the excellent quality of the DVDs and English subtitles, is
YesAsia.com. YesAsia.com is the only authorized distributor of
Korean DVDs in North America.
If
AsianInfo has helped you in your search or interest in Korean

Good Morning Shanghai
CCTV

Starring:
You Haoyun ~ Jang Na
Ra
Wang ~ Shawn Yue
Synopsis:
Following 2005's CCTV period drama The Mischievous Princess,
Korean actress and singer Jang Na Ra graces Chinese television
screens again with the romantic drama Good Morning Shanghai.
Jang, who enjoys great popularity in China, plays the role she
does best, a sassy, headstrong, and lovable girl similar to
her characters on My Love Patzzi and The Successful
Story of a Bright Girl. This time her co-star is Hong Kong
heartthrob Shawn Yue (Invisible Target), making for a
perfectly photogenic pairing. The drama's cast also includes
Yang Xue and Yan Kuan.
You
Haoyun (Jang Na Ra) is a cute and kind-hearted girl, if a
little frank and absentminded. Even though her name means
"fortunate", in reality bad luck seems to accompany her
wherever she goes. As a child, her brother passed away trying
to rescue her, leaving a wound in her family that never
healed. Haoyun finally musters up the courage to move out on
her own, but then she loses all her money in a scam. Wandering
the streets with nowhere to go, she runs into a group of
street louts, but at that moment Wang (Shawn Yue) appears and
saves her. The rich, handsome, and emotionally detached Wang
ends up hiring Haoyun as his son's nanny, bringing new and
unexpected sparks into both their lives.
Review:
Not reviewed - Although
I haven't seen this drama, I've loved all the dramas I've seen
with Jang Na Ra. If you aren't a fan of hers though (or
Shawn Yue), then you'd probably need to pass on it.

Jung Hyun Woo ~
Ryu Shi Won
Lee Shin Hee ~ Park Sun Young
Park Seung Jae ~ Son Ji Chang
Synopsis:
Before
Winter Sonata and Stairway to Heaven, Choi Ji
Woo starred in the
classic
2000 MBC drama Truth, now available on DVD with
English subtitles. The popular K-drama heroine is as sweet
and charming as ever in this Cinderella-like tale of pure love
and tragic deception. Truth opens with a shocking
incident and unfolds in flashback to reveal the long history
and intertwined lives of leads Choi Ji Woo, Ryu Si Won (Beautiful
Days), and Park Sun Young (Oh! Pil Seung and Bong Soon
Young). The three seem to
form a strong triangle of
blooming romance and longtime friendship until an accident, a
betrayal, changes their lives.
Ja Young
(Choi Ji Woo) and Shin Hee (Park Sun Young) have spent much of
their lives growing up together, but their friendship has
always been unbalanced. Ja Young's father is a chauffeur for
Shin Hee's family, so the two girls live in the same house and
attend the same school, but Shin Hee always takes advantage of
Ja Young to cheat on her exams. Though Ja Young experiences
some setbacks in order to help her friend, she eventually gets
into university and catches the eyes of the young and handsome
Hyun Woo (Ryu Si Won), much to Shin Hee's jealous fury. One
night, the three of them go out drinking, and a terrible car
accident happens with Shin Hee at the wheel, leaving Ja Young,
Hyun Woo, and a pedestrian seriously injured. With everyone
else unconscious, Shin Hee switches Ja Young into the driver's
seat to lay the blame on her friend...

The Host (Movie)
2006
 Starring:
Gang Du ~ Song Kang
Ho
Hee Bong ~ Byun Hee Bong
Nam Il ~ Park Hae Il
Nam Joo ~ Bae Du Na
Hyun Seo ~ Ko Ah Sung
Synopsis:
The
biggest Korean film of the year comes to DVD! Released in July
2006, Bong Jun Ho's monster film The Host ripped
through the box office like a force of nature. Breaking every
record on the book, The Host became the first Korean
film to sell 13 million tickets, surpassing the all-time
record held by King and The Clown. It topped the box
office for five consecutive weeks, writing a new page in
Korean cinema history.
Although
monster films have a strong tradition in Japan and the U.S.,
they're typically relegated to bargain bins in Korea. When
Bong Jun Ho, the critically acclaimed director of smash hit
Memories of Murder, announced he was making a monster
movie, the film industry was unsure of how to react. But this
was the film Bong was always meant to make.
Bong
rounded together an illustrious cast led by Song Kang Ho (JSA),
Byun Hee Bong (Crying Fist), Bae Du Na (Sympathy for
Mr. Vengeance), and Park Hae Il (Rules of Dating).
Meanwhile, a monstrous budget and state-of-the-art CG
technology gave birth to the proverbial beast. The result:
The Host not only conquered the box office, it garnered
almost universal acclaim, winning over critics and moviegoers
alike from Cannes to Korea. More than just a creature feature,
The Host delves into a raw, suspenseful world of
unspeakable horrors, politics, conflicts, and emotions in one
family's relentless fight against the monster that rose from
the Han River.
Hee
Bong's (Byun Hee Bong) family is the epitome of dysfunctional.
His son Nam Il (Park Hae Il) went from promising college
graduate to cursing, molotov-throwing problem child; his
daughter Nam Joo (Bae Du Na) could have become an archery
star, but is now just the one who calms everyone down when
things get heated. The eldest son, Gang Du (Song Kang Ho)
spends his days running a snack stall near the Han River, and
his only hope, indeed the family's hope, is on the shoulders
of his young daughter, Hyun Seo (Ko Ah Sung). Unbeknownst to
everyone, however, a horrible monster has been growing in the
polluted waters of Han River, and it snatches Hyun Seo from
their life. Unable to get any help from the authorities, the
family is determined to get Hyun Seo back on their own, no
matter what it takes.
Review:
Very Good -
To be honest, I hate monster/sci-fi movies. Give
me a comedy, a love story, anything light and funny.
My Korean significant other told me I just "had" to watch this
movie. I assumed he knew my aversion to movies of this
type, but I was wrong. After my blissful ignorance in
the beginning scenes, I became aware this was not a comedy but
a monster movie. In spite of this discovery, I was
riveted to the screen. There was suspense, drama and
yes, comedy - this movie would not have been the same with any
other cast. They were phenomenal in their roles and made
this movie one I
sat riveted watching to the
end (ok, so I covered my eyes a few times, I know I'm a
wimp!).

Inside the White Tower
MBC 2007

Starring:
Jang Joon Hyuk ~ Kim
Myung Min
CHoi Do Young ~ Lee Seon Gyun
No Min Guk ~ Cha In Pyo
Synopsis:
Based on renowned Japanese
novelist Yamazaki Toyoko's representative work, MBC's new
drama Inside the White Tower, a.k.a. The Great White
Tower, brings viewers deep into the political inner
workings of the medical field. The drama takes a satirical
look at malpractice and powerplay at a university hospital,
contrasting the paths and personalities of two doctors played
by Kim Myung Min (The Immortal Lee Soon Shin) and Lee
Seon Gyun (Loveholic). Inside the White Tower
was a critical and ratings hit in South Korea, with Ahn Pan
Seok winning Best Producer and Kim Myung Min beating out some
very strong competition for the Best Leading Actor statuette
at the 43rd Baeksang Awards. The drama stands out amongst the
current wave of lightweight offerings with its intelligent,
well-written, and uncompromising story, situating the little
known wheeling and dealing of medicine in a tight and
interesting tangle of deception, friendship, and romance. What
really goes on Inside the White Tower? You may not want
to know.
Brilliant and ambitious,
assistant professor Jang Joon Hyuk (Kim Myung Min) is a rising
star in the Myeongin University Hospital surgery department.
His knowledge and expertise is undeniable, but his cavalier
confidence and cold personality has earned him more than a few
enemies including the department head. While Jang's drive
stems from a desire for success and advancement, fellow doctor
Choi Do Young (Lee Seon Gyun) is committed to the well-being
of his patients, leading to frequent clashes with the
practices and personnel within the hospital. With the head of
the surgery department retiring, Jang seems to be the clear
successor until a new rival emerges in the form of Noh Min Guk
(Cha In Pyo), who has the backing of the department head.
Jang, however, is determined to win at all costs.
This edition comes with
English-subtitled cast and crew interviews and
behind-the-scenes footage.

HJoo Soo Bin ~ Kim Ha Neul
Lee Yeon Hee ~
Kim Hyun Ju
Synopsis:
In 2000, two of Korea's
hottest rising newcomers, Cha Tae Hyun (My Sassy Girl)
and Jang Hyuk (Thank You), teamed up with sweethearts
Kim Ha Neul (Romance, My Tutor Friend) and Kim Hyun
Ju (Calla) in the highly rated drama Into the
Sunlight. The drama caused a media frenzy, with every
newspaper, magazine, and TV station swarming around the four
idols. Into the Sunlight is a coming-of-age drama
about four young people from different social backgrounds
and their quest to find hope and strength in love.
Having had a difficult
childhood because of his parents' divorce, Kang In Ha (Cha
Tae Hyun) struggles big time when his father's future plans
for him come colliding with his own. Lee Yeon Hee (Kim Hyun
Ju) lost her parents at an early age, and her extremely
competitive nature and pride keeps her from getting close to
anyone. An illegitimate daughter of a billionaire, Jung Soo
Bin (Kim Ha Neul) cannot pull herself out of depression. For
Han Myung Ha (Jang Hyuk), whose inferiority complex stems
from past poverty and a single mother, life is all about
climbing the social ladder by any possible means. As these
four young bloods rebel against the world and try to break
down the wall of old establishment, each finds his or her
own solution to life's problems. Into the Sunlight is
a story about their discoveries.

Synopsis:
A westernized Irish
adoptee, Joong-A inevitably flies back to Korea to confront
her past and to see the country she is really from, only to
fall in love with her brother, Jae-Bok. Their love is painful,
as they are never meant to be together as lovers, but merely
as brother and sister. The show’s message is that there is
no such thing as noble innocent love and that love is
adversity itself. Therefore, love mustn’t be impeded by
so-called “destiny” or family, no matter how ironic or
difficult the case may seem. Although destiny is cruel and
arduous, the two young lovers radiate pure happiness. The show
describes how love survives the tragic bondage of family,
destiny and romance.
Review:
Good
- It was an
interesting drama. An artistic drama that probably didn't
translate as well as it could have considering what was being
said (in Korean) was poetic. I didn't like that it
portrayed a porn star. It cheapened the drama for me. | |
