Stairway to heaven-drama series


Serial Korea yang paling menguras air mata, rasanya julukan itu tidak salah diberikan pada Stairway to Heaven yang setiap episodenya membuat penonton gemas sekaligus sedih melihat tokoh utamanya tak henti ditindas. Rasa-rasanya banyak orang sepakat sutradara film ini dengan kejam dan tragis menutup jalinan cerita film seri ini. Ramuan ini pula yang membuat serial buatan SBS tersebut sukses berat saat ditayangkan di Korea dan Indosiar.

Cha Song-ju adalah putra dari keluarga kaya-raya. Sejak kecil ia bersahabat dengan gadis bernama Han Jung-suh. Saat ayahnya dan ibu sahabatnya meninggal, hubungan mereka semakin dekat. Namun keadaan mulai berubah saat ayah Jung-suh menikah dengan aktris bernama Tae Mira.

Meski awalnya baik, belakangan Mira yang mengajak dua anak dari pernikahan sebelumnya yaitu Han Yuri dan Han Tae-hwa membuat kebahagiaan Jung-suh hilang, bahkan tak jarang gadis itu dijahati saat sang ayah pergi. Persis seperti wacana yang terjadi di masyarakat, ibu tiri pasti akan “melalap dengan lahap” anak tirinya. Biasa hidup dalam kemiskinan, Yuri mempunyai watak jahat dan berusaha merebut semua milik Jung-suh termasuk Song-ju.

Dipaksa berpisah karena Song-ju harus meneruskan studi ke luar negeri, sikap ramah Jung-suh membuat kakak tirinya Tae-hwa jatuh hati, namun sayang cinta pemuda itu hanya bertepuk sebelah tangan. Cinta yang mendalam kepada Song-ju membuat gadis itu bisa bertahan dari siksaan Yuri dan Mira. Namun di saat hari pertemuan tiba – Song-ju yang telah menyelesaikan studinya — kebahagiaannya kembali direnggut oleh Yuri, yang sengaja menabrakkan mobilnya hingga Jung-suh luka parah.

Meski selamat, Jung-suh kehilangan ingatan. Tae-hwa yang tahu membawa gadis itu pergi dan mengganti nama mereka. Song-ju yang berduka dihibur Yuri, keduanya kembali meneruskan studi dan kembali ke Korea lima tahun kemudian. Di hari pertunangan, Song-ju tanpa sengaja melihat Jung-suh dan langsung mengejarnya, namun kecewa saat tahu gadis itu bernama Kim Ji-su.

Tidak menyerah begitu saja, pemuda itu melakukan penyelidikan untuk membuka misteri Ji-su, dan semakin yakin saat menemukan kalung yang diberikannya kepada Jung-suh terlingkar di leher gadis itu. Jung-suh yang sadar dari amnesia mulai bingung karena Tae-hwa terus merawatnya selama ia cedera, namun ia akhirnya memutuskan untuk bersatu dengan pria yang telah lama dicintainya itu.

Namun masalah tidak selesai sampai di situ, tindakan Song-ju itu membuatnya harus keluar dari perusahaan keluarga. Sebab ibunya telah terlanjur berjanji kepada Yuri dan Tae Mira untuk menyatukan Yuri dengan anaknya. Jung-suh yang tahu meminta kekasihnya itu untuk kembali dan belakangan ia memutuskan kembali menghilang saat tahu matanya terkena kanker, seperti yang dialami oleh almarhumah ibunya. Tae-hwa yang telah berganti nama menjadi Han Chul-su tahu bahwa gadis itu tidak mungkin mencintainya, akhirnya memberitahu Song-ju keberadaan gadis itu.

Menyingkirkan perbedaan mereka, Tae-hwa dan Song-ju berubah akrab bagai saudara dan berusaha membujuk Jung-suh untuk melakukan operasi. Song-ju pun luluh dengan bujukan dua orang pria yang menyayanginya itu. D idepan publik, Song-ju menyatakan bakal menikah tanpa memberitahu siapa mempelainya. Iia mengundang Yuri, Mira, serta Tae-hwa dan Jung-suh (yang matanya telah buta) yang datang belakangan.

Di depan publik, Song-ju menentukan pilihan hatinya sementara Tae-hwa membeberkan kejahatan sang adik (akhirnya masuk penjara) dan ibu (pikirannya menjadi terganggu). Setelah semuanya beres, Tae-hwa yang bertekad membahagiakan adik tirinya memutuskan bunuh diri demi menyumbangkan kornea matanya, sehingga Jung-suh bisa melihat orang yang dicintainya (Song-ju) sekali lagi. Dan berharap hidup bahagia di samping Song-ju.

Meski tujuannya tercapai, pada akhirnya pengorbanan Tae-hwa sia-sia. Kanker yang telah menyebar membuat umur Jung-suh tinggal beberapa bulan. Di saat terakhirnya, wanita itu mengajak sang suami ke pantai untuk mengenang masa-masa indah saat mereka kecil. Di pelukan Song-ju, Jung-suh akhirnya menghembuskan napas terakhir setelah merasakan kebahagiaan yang hanya sesaat.

PARA PEMERAN UTAMA STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN :

Kwon Sang-woo sebagai Cha Song-ju (masa remaja diperankan oleh Bae Seong-hyeon).
Kaya, tampan, dan setia pada cinta pertamanya, tidak banyak pria yang memiliki karakter sepertinya. Pemuda ini juga tidak segan bekerja keras supaya cita-citanya tercapai, dan tidak pernah berhenti meyakini kalau Jung-suh yang dicintainya masih hidup. Meski kadang acuh dan kasar, namun cintanya sangat dalam, saking dalamnya sampai-sampai ia tidak perduli dengan semua halangan yang merintangi hubungan mereka.

Choi Ji-woo sebagai Han Jung-suh/Kim Ji-su (masa remaja diperankan oleh Park Shin-hye).
Nasib baik seolah enggan menghampirinya sejak berkenalan dengan keluarga Han (terutama Mira dan Yuri), bahkan harapannya sekolah di luar negeri bersama Song-ju dimentahkan oleh sang ibu tiri. Tumbuh sebagai gadis yang tidak percaya diri, hilang ingatan membuat sifatnya jadi lebih tegar dan berani melawan siksaan Mira. Ia juga memenuhi janji cinta sucinya pada Song-ju, yang hanya dipisahkan oleh kematian.

Shin Hyeon-joon sebagai Han Tae-hwa/Han Chul-su (masa remaja diperankan oleh Lee Wan).
Merasa dirinya tidak berharga sampai bertemu dengan Jung-suh, pemuda ini hidup dibawah tekanan sang ibu yang tidak menghargai bakat seninya. Memutuskan kabur dan tinggal bersama sang ayah, ia ketakutan saat Jung-suh yang hilang ingatan terus dibawa nasib untuk bertemu dengan Song-ju. Sadar bahwa keduanya saling mencintai dan tidak dapat dipisahkan, akhirnya ia mengorbankan diri untuk kebahagiaan sang adik tiri.

Kim Tae-hee sebagai Han Yuri (masa remaja diperankan oleh Park Ji-mi)
Dibesarkan di tengah keluarga yang berantakan ditambah pengaruh kuat sang ibu, gadis ini menjelma menjadi pribadi yang mementingkan diri sendiri dan licik. Ia bahkan tidak segan-segan mencelakakan kakak tirinya sendiri saat tahu impiannya mendapatkan Song-ju bakal kandas. Kembali menggunakan berbagai cara untuk menjatuhkan Jung-suh yang hilang ingatan, Yuri akhirnya harus membayar mahal atas semua perbuatan jahatnya.

Lee Hui-hyang sebagai Tae Mira
Ketakutannya terhadap kemiskinan membuat wanita setengah baya ini berubah menjadi pribadi yang rakus, tamak, dan tidak segan-segan menggunakan segala cara supaya tujuannya tercapai. Ia juga yang mengajari sang anak cara-cara licik untuk memperdaya Song-ju dan Jung-suh, namun pada akhirnya semua berbalik. Selain tujuannya tidak tercapai, ia juga harus kehilangan kedua anaknya dengan cara yang tragis.

Hanna is an overweight phone sex employee and a secret vocalist for Ammy, a famous Korean pop singer who actually lip syncs as she cannot sing. Instead of being famous for her own amazing vocal talent, Hanna hides behind Ammy's performance stage and sings during Ammy's concerts, and records all of Ammy's songs. One day, Ammy ungratefully humiliates her in front of the music company's director Sang-jun during his birthday party, knowing full well that Han-na has a crush on him. While crying in the bathroom, Hanna overhears Sang-jun telling Ammy that even though they are just using Hanna for her voice, they must be kind to her so she will not walk out on them. Heartbroken, Hanna attempts suicide but is interrupted by a phone call from one of her phone sex regulars who happens to be a top plastic surgeon. She decides to get a head-to-toe plastic surgery instead. The surgeon at first refuses to operate on Hanna, but Hanna threatens to blackmail the surgeon by telling his wife about his calls. Then, Hanna makes a moving speech that she does not want to undergo surgery merely to be beautiful, but for the sake of love and as a boost in confidence, and the surgeon is deeply moved. Hanna puts herself in seclusion for a year as she recovers from the changes.

When she comes back from the hospital, Hanna is incredibly beautiful and slender. No one, not even her best friend, Chung-min, recognizes her. With Chung-min's help, she creates a new identity for herself; she is now a Korean-American from California named Jenny. After auditioning to be Ammy's secret vocalist again, she earns her own recording contract instead from Sang-jun, claiming that she is "all-natural". In the meantime, Ammy, oblivious just like everyone else of Hanna's new identity, desperately tries to find Hanna so that she can record her own postponed album (since she cannot sing the songs herself) by spending time with Hanna's father who is in a hospital with some mental problems, possibly Alzheimer's. Meanwhile, romance begins to blossom between "Jenny" and Sang-Jun, as he continues to promote Jenny, in effect boosting Hanna's confidence on her new self. However, Ammy, through spending time with Hanna's father and Jenny, eventually realizes that this Jenny is actually Hanna in disguise.

During a date one night, as sparks fly, Jenny supposedly stripped for Sang-Jun in the character of a nurse, through a phone sex session. After Jenny has fallen asleep, he sees the African character Jenny had drawn on the glass and realizes it was a sign he had seen before. He remembers that when Hanna still existed and he had not met "Jenny" yet, Han-na had drawn the exact same signs on a sheet of music. Then he adds all of the signs up and realizes as well that "Jenny" is actually Hanna but he keeps this information to himself.

"Jenny's" debut single 'Maria' becomes a hit and the recording company holds a party to celebrate its release. On the day of a party however, Ammy brings "Jenny's" father, in an attempt to blow Han-na's cover. Han-na's father tries to return Han-na's Barbie doll to her, which has always been Hanna's favourite childhood gift from him. Startled by the sudden appearance of her father and not knowing how to react in front of all the people, including Sang-jun, Han-na denies knowing her father and calls him a fan instead when Sang-jun asks her if the old man is her guest. As her father keeps on insisting on giving the doll to Han-na, Sang-jun drags him away from Jenny and accidentally knocks him down onto the floor. Desperate to keep her true identity a secret, Han-na made no move to help her father. It was Chung-min who finally helps him up, casts Jenny a furious look and leads Hanna's father away from the party.

After the party, Sang-jun and 'Jenny' were the only ones left in the room. Sang-jun reveals to 'Jenny' that he knows her true identity but is now cold and distant. He seems to be unable to forgive her for lying to him but says that he will still work to promote 'Jenny' and carry on with her concert scheduled the next day. Hanna breaks down at this point, heartbroken and unable to pretend to be someone else anymore. Hanna tells him that it is incredibly frustrating and painful not being able to be just be herself but have to live a lie, especially in front of him. The surgery that took a whole year to recover from was not nearly as painful as realizing that she still could not be close to Sang-jun. As Sang-jun tries to comfort her, she brushed away his efforts saying, "You broke my heart. Tissue paper cannot fix it."

The day of "Jenny's" first concert, Sang-jun still insisted on continuing Jenny's concert, despite protests from the company boss. Later, he encourages a distraught Jenny to do this concert, not for the sake of the fans or the company but for herself, thus implying that he has forgiven her and will continue to support her. At the concert, Jenny couldn't sing and later breaks down from the pressure of seeing her father being dragged away by security and tells everybody to stop. She then reveals to the public that Jenny is a "fake," and that she is not "all-natural", as she had claimed, but is "plastic". However, nobody seems to believe her. She proceeds tearfully to tell the large crowd her story: how she has abandoned everything that is dear to her - her best friend and father - to get to where she is. She also tells the crowd about how along the way to fame and fortune she has also lost her own identity and that she now no longer knows who she is. Just then, the screens behind her on the stage started to show a clip of the old, obese Hanna, singing angelically. Hanna turns around and sees her old image and tells the crowd that the image is the real her. The crowd, moved by her sincere confession, responds by chanting "It's okay," and Hanna rekindles her relationships with her father and best friend. She drops the stage name "Jenny" and re-releases a CD with her own name, Hanna, and becomes a highly successful music artist, gaining many fans and anti-fans along the way. Sang-jun realizes the very thing about Hanna that had always drawn him to her was Hanna's innocence. However he also realizes that she has moved on and is now content with who she is.

At the end of the movie, you will see Hanna's best friend, Chung-Min asking to also get head-to-toe plastic surgery.

Romance of Their Own (aka Temptation of Wolves or True Romance) is a 2004 South Korean film directed by Kim Tae-gyun, and based on a novel of the same name by Internet author Guiyeoni. Starring Jo Han-sun, Kang Dong-won and Lee Cheong-ah, the film is about an average high school girl who moves from the countryside to Seoul after her father's death.


Plot

From her appearance to her mannerisms, it is easy to tell that Jung Han-kyeong (Lee Cheong-ah) is a country girl. After her father's death, she comes to Seoul to live with her mother (Kim Bo-yeon), planning to attend Kang-Shin High School. However, her life in Seoul is a series of mental and physical shocks. For example, on the bus, a slipper is thrown randomly at her head--but her problems don't end there. The guy who threw the slipper is none other than Ban Hae-won (Jo Han-sun), "the" guy at her school, and everywhere he steps, girls trail behind. Seeing Han-kyeong's pitiable and adorable nature, Hae-Won falls for her.

The leader of Sung-Kwon High, Kang-Shin's neighbor and rival, is named Jung Tae-sung (Kang Dong-won), and he, too, has feelings for Han-kyeong. Despite his shy, adorable face, Tae-sung has strong fists and endless obstinacy. A fight that handles both pride and love begins between the two, and neither of them is prepared to back down. But Tae-sung has a secret, one that forces him to love Han-kyeong in spite of himself, and Han-kyeong, ignorant of this, tries to do her best to be gentle with both of them. Eventually, Tae-sung leaves Han-kyeong's side, and later, Han-kyeong and Hae-won learn of his secret. The heartbreaking brightness of this story makes even adults cry.

The film tells the story of a male college student, Gyeon-woo (Cha Tae-Hyun), and the Girl (Jun Ji-hyun) who is never named in the movie. Gyeon-woo just cannot seem to catch a romantic break. His prospects are so pathetic that even his mother tries to help, telling him to visit his aunt for two reasons. Firstly, because Gyeon-woo reminds his aunt of her son who drowned recently; secondly, because there is a girl his aunt wants to introduce him to. Gyeon-woo repeatedly puts off going to see his aunt.

The movie begins with Gyeon-woo on top of a mountain, speaking wistfully about a girl he knew two years ago that had buried a time capsule with him on that mountain. She had never returned like she'd promised. Next, one sees Gyeon-woo at a photo studio, having his passport photo taken. He is called by his aunt so that she can finally introduce him to the girl she's been trying to set him up with. The movie then flashes back to the past.

While Gyeon-woo is at a restaurant with some of his friends, he is interrupted by a call from his mother telling him to go meet the girl that his aunt wants to set him up with. He refuses and continues to eat with his friends. At the train station on his way to his aunt's, he observes a girl, drunk, standing precariously close to the edge of the train platform as the train approaches; he pulls her to safety just in time. Inside the train, Gyeon-woo cannot help but stare at the girl wavering back and forth. He is slightly attracted to her but repulsed by her drunkenness. Finally, she throws up on a passenger and faints but not before she calls Gyeon-woo "honey". The passenger aggressively chides Gyeon-woo and tells him to take care of his girlfriend. Gyeon-woo, completely flustered, carries her all the way to the nearest hotel. While he is showering, her cell phone rings. Stark naked, he runs out to answer it and informs the caller of their location. Just as Gyeon-woo realizes there are no towels in the shower, a pair of women police officers burst into the room and arrest him.

After getting out of jail—where he was bullied by gangsters—he goes home. His mother beats him with a vacuum cleaner for not turning up at his aunt's and there is a brief flashback of his lifetime failings as a student. He receives a call from the Girl demanding he meet her and explain why he was naked in bed with her. The Girl's dominating and demanding tone during the telephone call establishes her typical posture as a xanthippe, an attitude she maintains throughout the film. Both at the takeaway joint and at the bar to which she drags him she tells him to order, criticises his choices and then tells him what to order. Over soju she cries, admits to breaking up with her boyfriend the day before and gets thoroughly drunk, resulting in another trip to the previous hotel.

After this second overnight stay at the hotel, she begins to become a more active part of his life. She visits Gyeon-woo in school and manages to get him to hang out with her. In one situation she obtains permission from a teacher by claiming she needs him to accompany her on the way to an abortion, with Gyeon-woo being the father. Her mood swings wildly from joyful to downright violent but Gyeon-woo puts up with it and lets her abuse him for her amusement.

She is an aspiring scriptwriter and throughout the movie gives Gyeon-woo three different screenplays from different genres. The first is an action movie—The Demolition Terminator—which switches gender roles, symbolically having the Girl save her helpless lover (Gyeon-woo). The second is a wild perversion of a Korean short story—Sonagi—in which the Girl, having died, asks that her lover be buried along with her—even though he's still alive. The resulting situation is quite humorous. The last is a wuxia/samurai movie spoof full of genre clichés and anachronisms. All three feature the same common thread: the Girl is from the future.

Despite all the horrible things Gyeon-woo endures, he is determined to help cure the girl's pain. In one scene, he decides to surprise her for her birthday and takes her on a nighttime trip to an amusement park which ends up quite differently than how he planned: The pair encounter an AWOL soldier who holds them hostage and rants about his misery. Gyeon-woo convinces him to release her, and she in turn convinces the soldier to free Gyeon-woo and go on with his life. Throughout the first half of the movie she is resolute in her pain, dishing it out in plenty. As the second half comes around, however, she begins to change: she shows vulnerability.

Choi Han-kyeol adalah seorang pria sombong yang berasal dari keluarga terpandang dan kaya raya, ia termasuk pria yang tidak percaya akan cinta dan tidak menginginkan pernikahan terjadi dalam hidupnya.

Sifat pemuda itu sangat kontras dengan Go Eun-chan yang saking tomboynya, orang sering salah mengira dirinya sebagai seorang laki-laki. Ia tipe perempuan pekerja keras karena harus menghidupi ibu dan adiknya, serta mau melakukan segala macam pekerjaan mulai dari menjadi seorang pelayan, pengantar makanan, susu, koran, dan lain-lain.

Pertemuan keduanya terjadi dua kali tanpa sengaja. Yang Pertama saat Eun-chan mengantar makanan ke rumah Han-kyeol dengan memakai helm dan kaos oblong. Mengira gadis itu adalah pria, dengan cueknya Han-kyeol mempersilahkan Eun-chan masuk sementara ia hanya mengenakan sehelai handuk. Bisa ditebak, Eun-chan langsung terbirit-birit keluar dari tempat itu secepat mungkin.

Yang kedua terjadi saat ada pencopetan. Kebetulan Eun-chan mengenal si pencopet yang tiada lain tiada bukan adalah teman adiknya. Mengira Eun-chan adalah komplotan si pencopet, hampir saja kemarahan Han-kyeol meledak.

Cerita bertambah menarik saat tokoh-tokoh selanjutnya muncul. Yang pertama adalah sepupu Han-kyeol bernama Choi Han-seong, seorang produser musik yang cukup sukses, namun gagal dalam kisah asmara. Perempuan yang ia cintai Han Yoo-joo tiba-tiba pergi begitu saja. Kebetulan, perempuan itu pula yang selama 9 tahun secara diam-diam dicintai oleh Han-kyeol.

Dua tahun setelah kejadian, Yoo-joo mendadak kembali ke Seoul dan berusaha keras untuk bisa kembali ke pelukan Han-seong. Namun karena masih sakit hati (ditambah mulai tertarik dengan sosok Eun-chan yang dianggap unik), pria itu menepis keras ajakan sang mantan kekasih.

Sama seperti dengan Han-kyeol, perkenalan Eun-chan dan Han Seong juga penuh kejutan. Setiap pagi, Eun-chan selalu mengantar susu dan mengajak bicara anjing kesayangan pria itu. Perilaku unik tersebut mengundang rasa ingin tahu Han-seong tentang gadis tomboy pengantar susunya.

Sementara itu setelah mendapat ultimatum dari sang nenek, mau tidak mau Han-kyeol harus menangani sebuah kedai kopi yang baru dibeli oleh keluarga mereka. Awalnya Han-kyeol menolak tugas itu namun akhirnya berubah pikiran karena ingin membuktikan kemampuan.

Demi menarik pelanggan wanita di kedai yang diberi nama Coffee Prince tersebut, Han-kyeol memutuskan untuk mempekerjakan karyawan yang semuanya berjenis kelamin laki-laki. Dasar nasib, Eun-chan yang sedang kesulitan keuangan akhirnya melamar pekerjaan disana.

Karena mengira Eun-chan laki-laki, maka Han-kyeol langsung menerima `pria` itu. Saat ini lah kita bisa menyaksikan banyak kekonyolan, saat Han-kyeol mulai merasakan getar-getar aneh saat berdekatan dengan Eun-chan. Sempat meragukan seksualitasnya sendiri, Han-kyeol bahkan sempat pergi ke psikiater untuk mengetahui apakah dirinya telah berubah menjadi homoseksual.

Demi menjaga harga dirinya, ia pun menghindari Eun-chan. Keruan saja, gadis itu kebingungan dengan perubahan sikap bosnya yang tiba-tiba. Namun pada akhirnya Han-kyeol tak bisa menahan lagi dan ia mencium sang bawahan seperti layaknya laki-laki mencium perempuan. Ia bahkan mengesampingkan harga dirinya dan tak peduli pandangan orang lain yang menganggapnya aneh.

Tidak bisa dipungkiri, serial garapan MBC ini merupakan salah satu melodrama Korea yang paling banyak dibicarakan di tahun 2007 meski pada kenyataannya Coffee Prince alias Keopi Peurinseu 1 Hojeom 'hanya' menduduki peringkat tertingginya di posisi kedua untuk urusan rating sepanjang pemutaran.

Uniknya, kasus serupa juga sempat dialami Goong alias Princess Hours setahun sebelumnya. Kebetulan, keduanya sama-sama dibintangi oleh Yoon Eun-hye yang aktingnya disebut mengalami kemajuan pesat. Bahkan untuk perannya kali ini, aktris yang mantan personil BabyVOX itu sampai nekat membabat rambut panjangnya.

Sama seperti serial Korea lainnya, tidak lengkap membicarakan Coffee Prince tanpa menyebut deretan aktor yang tampil. Sudah tentu, nama pertama yang diingat adalah Gong Yoo yang tampil dingin. Selain itu, tidak ketinggalan Lee Seon-gyoon dan Chae Jeong-ahn yang mampu memanaskan konflik yang terjadi.

Coffee Prince terasa makin lengkap dengan deretan lagu apik yang mewarnai serial berdurasi 17 episode itu, sebut saja mulai dari The Melody dengan Goodbye hingga Kopi Hanchan Ottae yang disuarakan oleh Humming Urban Stereo featuring Yojo.

Meski akhir cerita drama romantis ini sudah bisa diperkirakan, ditambah cerita yang sedikit bertele-tele di bagian akhir, namun bagi penggemar melodrama Korea khususnya yang ingin melihat sekuat apa chemistry antara dua pemeran utamanya, Coffee Prince pantang untuk dilewatkan.
Pokoknya n drama bagus banget jadi wajib banget untuk ditonton...

The film stars Jun Ji-hyun as Officer Kyung-jin Yeo, an ambitious young female police officer serving on the Seoul police department. One day while chasing a purse snatcher, she accidentally captures Myung-woo Go (played by Jang Hyuk), a physics teacher at an all-girls school, who was actually trying to catch the thief. Later, Myung-woo discovers the stolen purse, but just as he picks it up, Kyung-jin spots him and tries to arrest him again. Kyung-jin is then given the job of escorting Myung-woo through a dangerous district, only to be distracted when she tries to break up a meeting between Russian Mafia and Korean gangsters. With Myung-woo handcuffed to her, Kyung-jin almost single-handedly brings down the two rival gangs (although she is helped when she accidentally causes the groups to start shooting at each other).

The first half of the film, told from Myung-woo's point of view, details the couple's growing attraction and love for each other, which climaxes with a trip to the countryside where Myung-woo tells Kyung-jin that if he were ever to die, he wanted to come back to earth as the wind. Soon after, he is almost killed in a freak automobile accident, but Kyung-jin saves his life.

The film takes a turn into the fantasy genre in its second half after Myung-woo is accidentally shot and killed by another officer (although the situation is such that Kyung-jin thinks that it was her shot that killed him) as Kyung-jin chases after a criminal. Kyung-jin falls into a suicidal depression over his death and attempts to kill herself several times, almost succeeding when she throws herself off a building, only to be saved when a giant balloon floats under her. Soon after, she experiences visitations from Myung-woo, who appears as the wind, sending her messages and, at one point, he even appears in her dreams in order to give her the will to live after she is nearly shot to death by a criminal.

Ultimately the film follows a similar path set out by the American film Ghost with Myung-woo and Kyung-jin communicating and sharing one final gesture of love before he moves on to the afterlife. Myung-woo said that he will whisper, when she hears him whisper in the wind, she will meet someone with a soul like him. Myung-woo told Kyung-jin that he will always be beside her inside a book with a photo left by Myung-woo in the restaurant before he rushed to meet Kyung-jin who was chasing the insane criminal.

In the first half of the film, Myung-woo told that his only memory of high school was his high school trip. The book and the photo is found and returned to Kyung-jin in the police station. The photo showed that on Myung-woo's trip, Kyung-jin was nearby. This proved Myung-woo's "I'm always beside you" was true to Kyung-jin. Kyung-jin rushed out to locate the finder of the book, ultimately ending up in the train station, where she is saved by Cha Tae-Hyun's character (credited as The Guy). Myung-woo whispered that The Guy is the one with the soul like him. Kyung-jin whispers that "he is always beside her."

Windstruck shares the same leading actress and director as an earlier popular South Korean film, My Sassy Girl. As a result, Windstruck contains several subtle references to the previous film. For example, a photo of Jun Ji-hyun from My Sassy Girl is visible on Kyung-jin's piano (while playing the piano). Plus the final scene of Windstruck, in which Kyung-jin meets her new soul mate (played by Cha Tae-hyun, the male lead from My Sassy Girl) on a train platform, is similar to the beginning of My Sassy Girl and her character from My Sassy Girl is distraught over the death of her true love.

Also, when Kyung-jin is chasing Sin Chang-su she tells a random citizen to act as a steppingstone to climb over the wall just like when she accidentally steps on a runaway soldier (played by the same actor) when she and Tae-hyun visited the amusement park during her birthday.

Kyungjin plays the piano in both movies.

However, "Windstruck" is not a full 'prequel' to "My Sassy Girl" in the literal sense of the term.

Nilai: dari 1007 pemilih

Drama ini bercerita tentang Joo Yoo-rin yang tumbuh sebagai seorang gadis yang tahan banting, ulet serta lihai dalam melihat kesempatan. Berharap bisa memperbaiki hidupnya, siapa sangka kesempatan itu datang lewat sebuah 'kecelakaan' yang mempertemukannya dengan sosok pemuda bernama Seol Gong-chan.

Sempat jengkel, Gong-chan mendadak sadar kalau sosok Yoo-rin mirip dengan salah seorang sepupunya yang telah lama menghilang. Langsung teringat dengan sang kakek, pemuda itu langsung menawarkan uang dalam jumlah yang menggiurkan asalkan Yoo-rin mau berpura-pura sebagai sang sepupu. Tentu saja, gadis itu langsung setuju.

Begitu sampai di rumah keluarga Gong-chan, Yoo-rin akhirnya tahu apa yang membuat pemuda itu begitu ngotot menyewanya. Rupanya, sepupu Gong-chan adalah salah satu cucu favorit sang kakek, yang sebelum menghembuskan napas terakhir berharap bisa melihat gadis itu.

Terbiasa hidup di lingkungan keras dan kasar, bisa dibayangkan bagaimana sulitnya Yoo-rin menyesuaikan diri hidup di tengah keluarga Gong-chan yang penuh sopan-santun dan aturan. Repotnya, terjadi hal yang tidak dibayangkan sama sekali : dirinya dan Gong-chan mulai saling jatuh cinta.

Hubungan mereka mulai mendapat ujian setelah mantan kekasih Gong-chan yang adalah seorang petenis terkenal Kim Seo-hyeon kembali muncul dan bertekad untuk bisa mendapatkan pemuda itu lagi. Tidak cuma itu, Yoo-rin juga ternyata menjadi incaran Se Jeong-woo, seorang pemuda yang dikenal memiliki watak playboy.

Ditampilkan dengan gaya ringan dan didukung oleh muka-muka relatif baru di dunia pertelevisian, My Girl merupakan salah satu serial Korea paling populer di Korea pada tahun 2006 selain Princess Hours (meski ratingnya tidak berhasil menembus posisi puncak).

Nama-nama pemeran utamanya langsung melejit sebagai idola, sebut saja seperti Lee Dong-wook (pernah tampil di Loving You dan sejumlah serial lainnya), Lee Da-hae (pemeran Green Rose dan sempat menjadi tokoh antagonis di Sweet 18), Lee Joon-gi (sebelumnya telah melejit lebih dahulu lewat film King and the Clown), dan Park Shi-yeon (model yang lebih dikenal sebagai kekasih Eric Moon personil Shinhwa).

Saking populernya, serial ini sempat di'adaptasi' oleh sebuah sinetron Indonesia yang ternyata juga sukses secara rating.

Finally after a few months, they manage to reunite for a night, but the next day, Hae-in moves to New York with her aunt and new uncle. Also, although they write letters to each other, Hwa-jung intercepts any messages between the two, sending Hae-in's letters back to Hae-in. Hwa-jung also writes to Hae-in saying Joon-young is dead. Becoming suicidal, Hae-in meets and finally accepts love from Lee Gun-woo, who she doesn’t know is actually Joon-young's best friend.

To save his family from eviction, Byung-du accepts a job to murder the public attorney Park and his previous boss, who are standing in the way of his superior, President Hwang. This grants him fame and money. On the other hand, fascinated by the violent life of Byung-Du, one of his high-school friends, Min-Ho, now a movie director, decides to interview him and adapt Byung-du's real-life story to improve his script for a film about gangsters.

Korean Movie - The Classic



The film tells the parallel love stories of a mother and daughter. The story of the mother is told partially in flashbacks.

The movie starts in the present day. The daughter, Ji-Hae (Son Ye-jin), is cleaning-up around her house when she comes across a box full of old letters and a diary that detail the story of her mother, Joo-Hee (who is also played by Son Ye-jin). Periodically in the movie, Ji-Hae reads one of these letters, which starts a flashback scene in which the story of the mother is told. These flashbacks are intertwined with Ji-Hae's own story, in which she falls for a fellow student, Sang-Min (Jo In-sung), who is involved with the school theater.

The movie tells the story of both relationships. The mother, Joo-Hee, visits the countryside as a student one summer and meets Joon-Ha (Jo Seung-woo). Together they explore the countryside, playing near a river which they both will always remember as their special place. When a storm starts they take shelter together under a tree, but not before Joo-Hee twists her ankle and is rendered helpless. Joon-Ha carries her on his back and they struggle home, only to be confronted by her angry parents. Before they separate, Joo-Hee gives him a necklace, which he keeps close as a precious reminder of their time together.

Unfortunately, as often happens in affairs of the heart, a third party prevents any deepening of their relationship. Joo-Hee has been promised by her parents as a bride to Tae-Soo, Joon-Ha's friend. But Tae-Soo, a noble friend, finds out about Joo-Hee and Joon-Ha's attraction for each other and helps the two communicate secretly by letting them use his own name in place of Joon-Ha's in their letters. When Tae-Soo's father finds this out, however, he beats Tae-Soo. Tae-Soo tries unsuccessfully to commit suicide so that his two friends can be together.

Meanwhile, in the present, Ji-Hae falls for Sang-Min in whom her friend Su-Kyeong (Lee Sang-in) is also very interested, but he seems not to notice. Then, in a sweet scene, they take shelter from the rain together under the same tree. He uses his coat to cover both of them and escorts her to where she needs to go. The moment, while magical, does not go anywhere as she feels his help was only due to his generous nature and not from any feelings for her on his part.

Back in the past, Joon-Ha is guilt-ridden over his friend's attempted suicide and Joo-Hee's own guilt. Determined to prevent any more hurt to her, Joon-Ha joins the army and goes to Vietnam. There he loses his eyesight while he tries to retrieve the necklace Joo-Hee had given him. When he returns to Korea, he meets again with Joo-Hee, and, trying to hide his blindness, convinces her he has married in the hope she will move on with her life. Though heart broken that their relationship cannot continue, she does move on and eventually marries Tae-Soo, Joon-Ha's kind friend. After they have been married for several years and have a young daughter (Ji-Hae) Joo-Hee is approached by friends of Joon-Ha, who relate Joon-Ha's last wish: that his ashes be scattered by Joo-Hee in the river, now a reservoir, where they first met. She then finds out that Joon-Ha already had a son the same age as her daughter. The heart-break is too much and she cries.

In the present, Ji-Hae's own story unfolds. Sang-Min reveals his true feelings for Ji-Hae - feelings that mirror her own. It is also revealed that their taking shelter together during the storm was no accident: he had purposely left his umbrella behind in a shop so that he could join her under the tree. Then, when Ji-Hae pensively reveals her mother's story to him, tears stream down his face. Silently he lifts a necklace from around his neck and places it around hers. It is the necklace that Ji-Hae's mother, Joo-Hee, had given to Joon-Ha when they met. The circle is completed: Joo-Hee's daughter and Joon-Ha's son have fallen in love.

* Son Ye-jin - Ji-Hae and Joo-Hee (Mother of Ji-Hae)
* Jo Seung-woo - Joon-Ha (Father of Sang-Min)

Korean Movie - A Millionaire's First Love





Kang Jae-kyung (Hyun Bin) is your typical rich kid. He’s arrogant, drives sporty cars, attends the big clubs and rides through school corridors on his motorcycle. As his 18th birthday approaches he’s set to inherit his grandfather’s fortune, but first Jae-kyung is required to transfer to a new school in Gangwondo and graduate. Until then all access to his penthouse, cottage and credit cards is denied. Should he fail to graduate or drop out then he loses everything. With little choice he heads out to the countryside and a small town in which daily life is far removed from what he’s used to.

Shortly after settling into his new home he meets 18 year-old Choi Eun-whan (Lee Yeon-hee), who just happened to run into him back in Seoul. They don’t exactly hit it off; he’s far too stubborn and cool for school, while she sees hope for him and sets out to make him see it for himself. As they eventually draw closer, thanks to a set of coincidences and school projects they learn more about one another. Once during the rehearsal of a play at the school, Kang Jae-kyung notices that the play is actually like the incident that had happened in his life. His parents had died at an early age and Kang was temporarily kept at an orphanage at Gangwondo, from where his grand father had called him back to his home. Upon leaving, Kang had made a promise to his childhood friend (Choi Eun-whan) (also an orphan)that he would return again but hadn't until his grandfather's will read that he would have to go to a school in Gangwondo. But by now neither had he remembered his promise nor remembered that girl.

So Kang asks someone about the writer of the play and is shocked to hear the answer to be "Choi Eun-whan." and it is understandable from the movie that he figures out that he had made that promise of returning to Choi Eun-whan and didn't remember it all the while. They then grow closer when Kang Jae-kyung goes to meet Choi Eun-whan and the love story grows but soon a shattering revelation will change these people forever.

Korea movie - Sad Movie


Dengan Gwan Kwon Jong-gwan sebagai sutradara dan sederet bintang Korea papan atas mulai dari Jung Woo-sung, Im So-jeong, Cha Tae-hyun, Yeom Jung-ah, Shin Min-ah, Son Tae-young, dan Lee Ki-woo, Sad Movie menghadirkan empat kisah yang saling bertautan.

Kisah pertama adalah tentang Jin-woo (Jung Woo-sung) yang berprofesi sebagai seorang pemadam kebakaran yang memacari seorang penerjemah bahasa isyarat bernama Su-jung. Hanya satu hal yang membuat hubungan keduanya sulit untuk diteruskan ke jenjang pernikahan : Jin-woo menolak untuk melepas profesinya yang penuh bahaya dan kerap membuat Su-jung kuatir.

Tokoh kedua adalah Su-eun (Shin Min-ah), adik Su-jung yang bisu dan mempunyai bekas luka di pipi. Meski kerap memberikan dukungan bagi kakak dan calon iparnya, Su-eun sendiri mempunyai problem : saat bekerja sebagai badut di taman hiburan, ia jatuh cinta pada pelukis Sang-gyu (Lee Ki-woo). Karena keterbatasannya, Su-eun hanya bisa mendekati Sang-gyu dengan kostum yang dipakainya sehari-hari.

Ju-yung (Yeom Jung-ah) adalah tokoh ketiga dalam film, seorang pekerja keras yang kerap bertengkar dengan putranya Hui-chan. Keadaan mulai berubah ketika Ju-yung masuk rumah sakit akibat ditabrak mobil, Hui-chan mulai membaca buku harian sang ibu yang menceritakan tentang kelahiran hingga saat dirinya dibesarkan. Suasana sedih makin terasa ketika belakangan Ju-yung divonis mengidap kanker.

Dalam perjalanan cerita, Hui-chan berpapasan dengan Ha-seok (Cha Tae-hyun), si tokoh keempat yang bekerja serabutan sebagai target pukul seorang petinju. Harapannya hanya satu : bisa mendapat banyak uang untuk bisa merebut kembali cinta kekasihnya Suk-hyun (Son Tae-young).

Sesuai dengan judulnya, Sad Movie benar-benar menghadirkan empat kisah yang penuh derai air mata dan menyentuh hati karena ketika saya menonton saya menangis terharu selain itu alur ceritanya sangat dekat dengan kehidupan sehari-hari.. So jangan lupa untuk menonton film ini

Korean Movies - A Moment to Remember




Divided into four segments, A Moment to Remember follows the theme of discovery in a relationship and the burdens of loss caused by Alzheimer's disease.

The first segment of the film, staged in romantic comedy style, introduces the protagonists, a woman named Su Jin and a man named Chul Soo. The movie highlights their accidental meeting in a convenience store and confusion over a can of soda, followed by their subsequent courting despite the social standings that should have kept them apart.

The second segment follows the couple now settling into married life. Su-Jin learns to be a housewife as her husband cares for her. But as the segment progresses, Su-jin begins to display forgetfulness, including an incident in which a fire breaks out because of a forgotten stove. While Chul Soo caught the fire in time, the seriousness of the incident and others draw them to seek medical help.

The third segment involves the revelation of Alzheimer's disease and the couple's consequent response to it. Su Jin is heavily burdened by the knowledge that she will forget her husband and hides it from him at first until he seeks advice from the doctor himself. Despite the disease, they make the commitment to stay together and as the disease progresses, the trials the couple go through increase because of Su Jin's forgetfulness.

The fourth segment reveals Su-jin in the final stages of the disease and the grief Chul Soo experiences because of it. Yet he remains beside her, despite her lost memory, hiding his eyes behind sunglasses when he visits her so she can't see his tears.

The end of the movie finishes off with Chul Soo replaying the first time they met in the convenience store with all her friends and family in the store. Chul Soo takes her back to the retirement home as they are driving off he finally tells her he loves her.
