Jung Ji-hoon of Drama ‘My Lovely Girl’ to Go Back to the Basics

17

The press conference for SBS’s upcoming drama ‘My Lovely Girl’ was held at Mok-dong, Seoul. Jung Ji-hoon, Krystal(Jung Soo-jung), Cha Ye-ryun, L (Kim Myung-soo) of Infinite, Park Young-kyu, Kim Jin-woo, Hae-ryung of Bestie participated.

Producer Park Hyung-ki said, “A man, who lost his love and turned his back on the world, becomes a ‘Daddy Long Legs’ when he meets sister of his love. They embrace and cure each other.”

Jung Ji-hoon will appear as a very competent music producer named ‘Hyun-wook’ who had been through hard time because of aftereffect from a car accident. He finds out Sena(Krystal)’s talent as a musician and comes back into musical circles to help Sena.

Jung Ji-hoon said, “I came back to the small screen in 4 years. I gave a really careful thought to choosing a drama.”

When asked if he was under pressure about appearing in this drama, he said, “We are all having great time at the shooting site. Partners in my previous dramas have always been older than me, but now I am older than my partner. So, she always respects me. In fact, I felt little laid back after finished my film abroad. So, I went back to the basics and trained pronunciation and vocalization again for about 3 months.”

“When it comes to acting, I think, if a person has great basic skills, then he or she is able to have great harmony with partners. I studied and learned hard in order to speak in accurate pronunciation so that viewers can clearly get my line,” he added.

Leading roles of drama ‘My Lovely Girl’ – Jung Ji-hoon, Park Young-kyu, Krystal, Cha Ye-ryun, Hae-ryung, L, Kim Jin-woo

Regarding his partner Krystal who is 12 years younger than him, he said, “It was first time to work with Krystal. She is smarter than any one in her age. Her acting is also very natural.”

When asked why he chose this drama, which is like a fairy tale, he answered, “I thought this drama would break stereotype against celebrities.  Also, this drama depicts life of celebrities in more genuine way. Story of Sena and Hyun-wook, competition between me and other producers and conflict against father are very realistic.“

Lastly, Jung Ji-hoon said, “I think this drama will bring many issues that people can talk and discuss.”

koreahealdNew TV dramas to look out for

Diverse genres, themes and stars in store for fall TV

As the hot and sultry summer gives way to fall, Korea’s major TV networks are revamping their primetime roster with new series.

From a period piece retelling the story of an ill-fated Joseon crown prince to heartthrob Rain’s rom-com comeback, the fall TV lineup looks as diverse as ever.

Here’s a closer look at some of the most anticipated dramas…

[Excerpt]

‘My Lovely Girl’

SBS’ new rom-com “My Lovely Girl” is one of the most anticipated dramas for hallyu fans around the world this fall.

Directed by Park Hyung-gi and written by No Ji-seol, the Wednesday-Thursday drama stars several singer-actor hotshots, including Rain, Krystal from f(x), L from Infinite, Kim Jin-woo from Winner and Haeryung from BESTie.

With the drama, Rain is making his TV comeback after a four-year break and more than a year after completing mandatory military service.

“We tried to give the happiest hour to the audience,” the director said in a press conference in Seoul on Monday. “It was great to have the lovely actresses and actors work with us.”

“My Lovely Girl” is a romantic comedy about entertainment label chief Hyun-wook (Rain) and aspiring singer Se-na (Krystal), who overcomes her painful memories through music.

Se-na is an orphan who lives without realizing her musical talent until she encounters Hyun-wook, the hidden Midas of Korean music.

Hyun-wook stops working after the tragic death of his lover, Se-na’s sister Soeun. After being diagnosed with “earworm,” a hearing disease, he loses the sense of meaning in his life until he meets Se-na.

The first of the series’ 16 episodes will air on Sept. 17 at 10 p.m.

Looking at the Chinese subtitles, I didn’t see any mention of movie 露水红颜 (For Love or Money), so I suppose a message about that will probably come closer to the premiere date (November 7). The way Chinese audiences took to “Full House” back in 2004, the ratings for “My Lovely Girl” should go through the roof the same way. Don’t you think?

Very cool. Yes, indeed. 🙂

The full scope of the marketing that new K-drama “My Lovable Girl” (a.k.a. “My Lovely Girl” and “She’s So Lovable”, Korean title 내겐 너무 사랑스러운 그녀) has received for the past month has been awesome, but this past week it has been heavenly. Bravo, SBS. Folks can learn from you. ^@@^

Catch Rain on the set of his upcoming Chinese movie For Love or Money

Rain_For_love_or_money

Earlier this year, after wrapping up his role in Hollywood movie The Prince, mega-entertainer Rain (a.k.a Jung Ji Hoon) also finished shooting his first Chinese film, For Love or Money (lead role “Xu Chengxun”) with popular Chinese actress Liu Yi Fei, a.k.a. Crystal Liu…

The movie For Love or Money (露水红颜, in Mandarin, with working titles Roots of Dew and Difficult Love) is a romantic drama about a girl from a declining aristocratic family who has been forced to live a normal working life. She meets an impoverished but talented painter (who may not be as poor as he seems), and they slowly fall into a risky, mesmerizing, passionate love that she tries desperately to avoid….

You had to have been living under a rock this past month if you haven’t heard about Rain‘s 16-episode Korean drama with Krystal, My Lovable Girl (내겐 너무 사랑스러운 그녀).

In this story, a 32-year-old genius composer, hit song-maker, and entertainment company CEO has been so devastated by his girlfriend’s death that he’s suffered psychological damage, lost his musical ability, and lives isolated with only his dog for company. It’s miraculous to him when he gets a phone call from Se Na, his dead girlfriend’s younger sister….

As part of the new drama My Lovable Girl, a new idol group called Infinite Power has been formed! But wait, isn’t the name “Infinite Power” a little close to the actual K-pop band Infinite? Don’t worry, two actual Infinite members are part of this made-up four member group! Infinite’s L and Hoya are all set to play their idol characters in this new show alongside Rain….

* Edited to Add 9/16/2014: You know what? I think those items in those bags may have been items that the stars themselves donated to a charitable auction. When they brought the bags over to them, one of the staff pushed the banner on the right over into view of the camera. And that reads, “SBS Stars Sharing Charity Auction.” I’ll bet that’s what those were. — Terri :-}

(1200 x 650. All captures live by Stephe @Cloud USA. CLICK images for larger view.)

The official press conference for Rain’s new romantic K-drama, which started at 2 p.m. KST, has just ended and was waaaay fun to watch LIVE on the SBS YouTube Channel’s live feed!

It didn’t start in earnest until around 15 minutes into the hour. The main characters of the cast were in attendance. The five I recognized are: leading man Rain, leading lady Krystal Jung of f(x), Kim Myung Soo a.k.a. “L” of Infinite, actress Cha Ye Ryun, and veteran actor Park Young Kyu. I’m sure there will be plenty of articles in the Korean Media to help us identify the other two. ( *Edited to Add 9/17: The other two are Kim Jin Woo, and Na Hae Ryung of girl group BESTie. ^@@^)

First, the main cast of seven came in and sat down in the front row. As they were each introduced individually to the Press, they rose from their seats and politely bowed.

Then the lights were dimmed, and we all watched a long, wonderful video of episodic footage that included a K-Pop concert at a swimming pool venue, the actual “My Lovely Girl” show intro, and scenes with Rain, Krystal, and doggy Benji. I have to tell you, when they showed a quick shot of Hyun Wook’s psychological damage and you heard the way he was crying as he cradled his poor girlfriend in his arms after the crash, my heart literally had a hiccup.

[Excerpts]

English translation: Sonya @Cloud USA. Rewritten by Stephe @Cloud USA.

Hyun Wook is the CEO of an entertainment agency and deeply wounded by his past love. His wounds begin to heal because of Se Na. You can expect to see Rain’s lyrical acting [expressing the writer’s emotions in an imaginative and beautiful way].

Cube said, “He (Rain) has made a diligent study of the script and has filmed the drama with sincerity. Hyun Wook holds on to his pain because [of his position] as a CEO. The role is that of a relaxed but imposing, emotional and warmhearted character.

This role suits his (Rain’s) age.

This role is expected to show viewers a character more comfortable and much warmer compared to [Rain’s] previous roles, which were cool-headed and shrewd (sharp-sighted). Based on this, in his new drama he will be able to show you professional and artistic sides (factors) because his role is that of an entertainment agency’s CEO.”

Rain said, “Acting skills and understanding the drama (script) are also important with this new character, but the most important things are vocalization (methods) and phonetic correction (pronunciation correction) as an actor. So, I have continually practiced those (vocalizations and pronunciations) for several months. I have been faithful (sticking) to the basics by focusing on delivering the lines well. I have been reading the script a lot, and have been trying to understand Lee Hyun Wook’s character.

You will see another side (a different side) of me in the drama.

We are having fun shooting the drama because we work well as a team (we have great teamwork).”

[article] Rain plays top henchman in The Prince.

Rain plays top henchman in The Prince

PhilippineStarThePrinceRain_CUSA

MANILA, Philippines – The Prince explodes in a series of scenes where the past finally catches up with long-time enemies Paul Brennan (Jason Patric) and Omar (Bruce Willis). Korean star Rain (photo) plays a skillful assassin working for Willis’ character.

Rain, known as a superstar musician in Asia, crossed over into acting with his debut in the hit South Korean series Sang-Doo (Let’s Go to School). He solidified his position as an actor with his lead role in Full House, and became recognized throughout Asia as not only as a singer, but an actor as well. The drama was aired throughout most of Asia, including Japan, China and the Philippines, with an average program rating of over 50 percent. This was the start of the “Rain fever” that seemed to cross borders throughout the east and Southeast Asia.

During his Korean series, A Love To Kill, Rain’s headstrong approach to trials and challenges made him more versatile as an actor. One of the most acclaimed filmmakers in Korea, Chan Wook Park, known internationally for his Vengeance trilogy (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance), chose Rain to star in I’m A Cyborg, But That’s OK.

The film won the Alfred Bauer Award for Particular Innovation in Filmmaking, one of the eight main awards at the 57th Berlin International Film Festival, and Rain received the Best New Actor Award for his role in the film at the 43rd Baek Sang Arts Award in Korea in 2007.

For his Hollywood debut, Rain was cast as a rookie racer in the Andy and Lana Wachowski’s action adventure film Speed Racer, based on the classic series created by animé pioneer Tatsuo Yoshida. The movie boasted the kind of revolutionary visual effects and cutting-edge storytelling that have become the benchmarks of the Wachowskis’ films, taking Speed Racer into the 21st century and giving Rain his first chance to leave his mark in the American entertainment industry.

The Wachowskis then chose Rain for the lead in their next movie, Ninja Assassin. In the 2009 release, Rain plays Raizo, one of the deadliest assassins in the world.

The Prince is now showing in theaters nationwide from [Philippines distributor] Axinite Digicinema.

That’s right. Rain’s official website isn’t the only place that got a slick revamp lately.

Exactly one year to the month that Rain went to Shanghai and signed on the continue as the face of MENtholatum Skincare for Men, Mentholatum China has freshened up the sub-pages quite nicely. Love it. (Images credit: http://www.menthol-men.com.cn/. Captures courtesy of Ratoka.)

10 of our favorite Rainisms

Rain_2

Rain‘s new drama My Lovable Girl will mark his return to dramas for the first time in four years since his last series Runaway: Plan B. As we wait for the premiere on September 17, it reminds us of all of the reasons we love the multi-talented entertainer. Here are a few of our favorite “Rainisms”:

1. His “rivalry” with Stephen Colbert

In case you missed it, there was a running joke on the Colbert Report for several years about how Rain was Stephen’s nemesis. It all culminated in this incredible dance-off:

11(199)These images are from what looks like a tvN programming blog on Naver. The post is sort of a “My Lovable Girl” primer—who’s who, and what’s what.

OMG, just read this stuff, peeps. It’s so exciting! Poor HyunWook… your heart can’t help but go out to him. *sigh* The same goes for poor SeNa. Lawd, help me. Where is the Kleenex? Can’t wait! ♥ ♥ ㅜ_ㅜ 🙂

CONCEPT

[In this story], a man and a woman are both injured (hurt) by a person’s death.

They eat meals, sleep, and sometimes smile like they used to in the past, but the one thing that’s changed is that even happy moments they might feel each day are tinged with misery. These two people extend hands to each other and say, “Stop being tormented, it was not your fault. So, you can be happy now.”

Through this story, two people fall in love again by letting wounds heal and opening their hearts (minds). When faced with a lot of death in life, humaneness and love is what comforts us and gives us the strength to get back on our feet, after all. We would like to present a heartwarming and ordinary story.

Korean → English translation by: Sonya @Cloud USA. Rewritten/Tweaked by Stephe.

Lee HyunWook, 32 years old, is the composer, producer, and the CEO of an entertainment agency.

He was called a genius composer and a hit song-maker with the Midas touch, and that’s in the past now. He’s currently out of work. He has no problems living and feeding himself without working because of all the royalties from his hit songs. He spends his days walking with his beloved dog and leading a free and quiet life.

However, he’s had a terrible breakdown not only of body but of mind, the aftereffects of an accident three years ago.

He has suffered from the “earworm syndrome” [when piece of music continually repeats through a person’s mind after it is no longer playing], suffered psychological damage (wounds), and has completely lost his musical ability.

A miraculous incident happens, he thinks, when he gets a phone call from SeNa, his dead girlfriend SoEun’s younger sister.

He thinks that he will simply meet SeNa and secretly act as her Daddy-Long-Legs (her helper and benefactor from afar without her knowing it, as in the 2005 Korean movie).

However, he senses her musical genius and steps back into the musical world in order to bring her musical ability out.

Korean → English summary by: Sonya @Cloud USA. Rewritten/Tweaked by Stephe.

Yoon SeNa, 25 years old, a would-be composer. She has no parents, siblings, property, or educational background. It’s been two years since she came to Seoul. When she is exhausted by the work she does for a living and when she cries because her friend abuses her, she misses her older sister and her older sister’s music even more.

She doesn’t realize that she is a musical genius with perfect pitch and musical sensibility.

She meets HyunWook, and that opens her eyes so that she can see her talents in music.

At a point, she begins to feel a thrill for the first time in her life, without knowing that he (HyunWook) was her dead sister’s lover.
