Don't you have someone to kill? A movie premiere of 'The Deal'


Look at this movie poster. Can you tell who is a serial killer?
(This is another story. Most Korean movie posters show movie stars from the film which make them too monotonous.)
Let me introduce a new Korean film.

I was in attendance at a movie premiere of The Deal at MegaBox, the multiplex cinema at COEX Mall, Seoul.
In conclusion, the movie was not bad. But if my husband didn't make an investment in the film about a serial killer, I would never have an opportunity to see the film with a lot of violent scenes and crimes.

Is it one of the reasons why I was too dizzy during the movie? :(

To return, my older sister said after it was over "Beginning to watch the film, I got so wrapped up in the story and the characters that I simply lost track of time. I could deeply develop empathy for the victims and their families. It's not only cruel but also sad and shows socially critical aspects".

For me, I ached in body and mind like I was beaten up. To be honest, it's not my cup of tea. Of course, the film is not bad. :)

 Luckily, I saw them having an interview on my way to MegaBox.
 I have to say that Kim Sang Kyung even better in person :)



Ji Sung of Kill Me Heal Me is called 'A man of Wednesday'

Ji Sung of the heroin South Korean television series Kill Me Heal Me is called "A man of Wednesday" in China. His Weibo, the Chinese version of Twitter, followers have almost doubled from first being televised on January 7, 2015.

The mystery medical drama is a story of third-generation chaebol Cha Do Hyun who suffers from dissociative identity disorder (DID) with seven different identities and a psychiatrist Oh Ri Jin who falls in love with the patient. A chaebol is one of the popular motifs of Korean dramas. :)

The 39-year-old actor got married to actress Lee Bo Young on August 2, 2013, and their first baby is due in July 2015. Ji previously dated Park Sol Mi, co-star in All In, from 2003 to 2006 and I believed that they would tie the marriage knot. Ji and Lee is a well-matched couple anyway. :)

Hwang Jung Eum, a former K-pop girl group Sugar member, especially attracts me beside the wealthy businessman. Oh, Ri On is adorable and charming. :)

I've just started to watch Kill Me Heal Me which will go off in a few weeks and I am now watching episode 6. I think there is something between two twin brothers and sisters. What is it??? In Korean dramas, birth secrets are a popular motif along with a love story of two from different social classes.

We are like brother and sister, or more like boyfriend and girlfriend??
      
The soap opera is similar to another DID love story(?) Hyde, Jekyll, Me in many ways. For example, Hyun Bin and Ji Sung are both chaebols and they are communicating with another character the same way. One more thing! They are both attractive. :)

I can't wait for the next episode!!!
