A Superior Weepie About the Meaning of Compassion: Happy Hours and Two Complex Stars

The film “Our Happy Time,” which went on general release on Thursday, tells a doomed love story
between a woman who longs for death and a man who is being forced to face it against his will.
The movie has all the typical elements of a melodrama, and the simple plot makes it easy
to predict what the two have been doing and will be doing next -- and that is just what happens.
What makes the movie special is the undeniable charm of the two young stars and the director’s
ability to express nuances. The film is an excellent choice for those who are looking for a weepie this fall.

Lee Na-young and Kang Dong-won pose for a photo during a press conference
for the film ‘Our Happy Time’ on Tuesday.

After failing to kill herself for the third time, Lee Na-young’s character comes
to visit Kang Dong-won’s character, a prisoner sentenced to death.
Imprisoned for murdering three people, his initial response to her is cold,
but soon the walls between them break down and they tell each other
of their painful past. Lee and Kang, whose strength lies in expressing
the weaknesses of human beings, are ideally cast in a film about understanding
and love between those with an excruciating pain in their heart.

Lee proves that she is fully capable of taking the lead in a film. She confesses a past that
she has been hiding in sentences broken by the difficulty of doing so. That is what makes
it so moving. Where “queen of tears” Jeon Do-yeon expresses her characters’ pain by
weeping copiously, Lee desperately tries to fight her tears. Kang also acquits himself
more than honorably by perfectly inhabiting a character where audiences can focus
on his acting rather than his pretty face. Since ambition is the first step to becoming
a great actor, Kang’s future in the craft looks bright.

Song Hae-seong, who directed “Failan,” again showcases his uncanny ability to understand
when he should make his audiences cry or wipe their tears away. His skill in showing changes
in the character’s view of life with seemingly trivial actions adds vitality to the well-worn story.
This melodrama is less about love than about compassion: both rich and poor, killers and suicides
are entitled to our compassion. While it cannot save the dying, it can be a warm blanket that
helps them withstand the sense of futility in life. But wait: isn’t compassion the very thing
that lies at the heart of love?

"Our Happy Times" Beats Record For Melodramas!
2006-10-20

The film <Our Happy Times> [Maundy Thursday], which was released in theatres September 14th, tells the story of love between a young man condemned to die and a young woman who has attempted to commit suicide several times. The film, directed by Song Hye-sung (Failan) is based on a best-selling novel. It has beaten the record number of admissions for melodramas, which was until then 3.1 million viewers. On October 15, the number of admissions reached 3,120,355. Thus, it beat the record holder "You Are My Sunshine", another Korean melodrama which came out in September 2005.

<Our Happy Times> succeeded in attracting viewers of all ages, young women in their twenties enchanted by the principal actor, Gang Dong-won (Duelist), to men in their 40s, interested in the subject of the death penalty raised in the film. It remains to be seen whether it will pass the 5 million admissions mark, as its producer hopes it will.

1% of anything. and man...his character is really mean and harsh...but sweet!

he needed anger management classes and his hair wasn't too sexy in it...but i got to watch him

if anything that drama was ALRIGHT to watch...dragged on and on and on...the ending really snuffs....but then if you like him, then its worth the watch...

i know its pretty stupid asking this quest.
but what does AF stands for?? (:

AF stands for Asian Fanatics..you have to be a member to be able to access the downloads section [AF newbies cant even see the dowloads section until they are promoted to being a member..and in order to do so..you have to post at least 20 good posts]..but considering your not a member yet and you want to watch temptation of wolves...i suggest you dl it from here:

He's so adorable!!
thanks for the pics ^^
I'll put some too~ hope they haven't been already here ^^U





Since I'm a starting fan... I would like to ask... which serie or movie is this one:


thanks

Somehow i do find him look very japanese...sort of remind me of Satoshi Tsumabuki....that's nothing bad about that.

If you're still wondering...Annami that's a BTS picture from "Temptation of the wolves" aka "A wolf Attraction"

it's one of those movies that causes a breakthrough in Kang's acting korea...so if you're into lovie romance with a bit twist and teary ending...try watching it if you can...I think you already did...but just wanna tell ya...kekeke

Ahhh...The movie that made me fall in love with kang is definitely deulist, iono while half of the world is against that movie I love it soo much that I brought the limited edition for it...

Right now my two fav actors are Lee jun ki and Kang, they got compared alot but they are equally my favourite...

thank you so much~ I'll watch it ^O^

YEAH!! Mine was Duelist too~ *-*
love him with that sad character... he did it so well *_*

i watch Maundy Thursday and it's suck a great movie....KDW did a great job,i cried a little at this movie and the plot is really god
KDW lovers u must watch this movie and all kmovies livers as well
just a great movie

I saw Too Beatiful to Lie first and I thought the guy is funny and not that good good looking last saturday. Then, I watched The Duelist. Gosh! Sad Eyes is so cool. I realized that both male leads from two movies are the same (since I'm that familiar with names). Now, Kand dong-won definitely marked my mind with Sad Eyes character. He did a terrific job on the character of Sad Eyes. I prefer him (KDW) with long hair. He looks great with it.





I'm started to download temptation of the wolves and 1% of anything drama when I learned that he's the lead. I'm excited to watch them.

oh my gosh! I fell in love with kang dong won in the movie "MAUNDY THURSDAY" i think that's how you spell it. But, it made me go nuts for kang dong won ever since. The movie was so sad i like totally was crying...it was so so sad. If you guys haven't seen it I really recommend you do watch it. It's so great and it's the perfect movie to watch if you really really want to cry. I still love that movie! i think it's pretty recent because I just watched it like 2 weeks ago. But I won't give tell you guys the ending Kang dong won is so cute in this movie. I wanna watch ther movies or drama he's doing. I know about "MAGIC", the drama, but someone said he's mean in there, but i still love him


he look so HOT here!!!

^LOSER...why are you here? LOL. But I knew you loved the movie...thanks to me huh?

Yes...Kang Dang Won has been appearing more and more in the film industry...been really impressed with his acting. I've seen him in a handful of movies and in all of them...he is able to play out the character so well...and Maundy Thursday...man...the movie was great...he was so convincing in his "prisoner" character...he managed to make me cry once again in a movie..

So I was wondering...anyone know if he has served his two year military service yet?

oh wow...after waiting for soooo long i finally got to watch Maundy Thursday sometime back...my! his acting always blows my mind...such an awesome actor...and yes, i cried...he always manages to make me cry with his moving act...gosh! esp towards the end...i wish he didnt have to die...i kept wishing they wud change their mind and save him...wahhhh!

i don't know about you guys, but i wish for these 2 to be together. they have A LOT of chemistry on and off camera!

i still have to watch the deulist ....so don't give me any clues okay peoples! I can't wait to see my oppa, Kang Dong Won!!!

hi everyone, newbie here...

I first saw KDW in Temptation of Wolves and I really like his character there. It brought me to tears when he died at the end of the movie.

I was also able to watch 1% of something and I love the combination of kim jung hwa and kang dong won.

I was also able to watch Maundy Thursday and it is really a tear jerker..

He's really so adorable...

Finally able to watch Maunday thursday...geesh i cried soo much at the end...but more of a shock coz I was completely scared...no miracle in this drama...but it was soo touching...i'm glad he was able to find pure happiness at least more then once in his life...and lee na young is great...I've heard lots about her but never seen her acting...she have a great voice....ehehhe

anyway can't wait for 'M' which is curently under production

but I heard it got to do with the supernatural (ghost ghouls) so I'm still a lil bit scared heheh...and i heard kang is playing a 40 year old guy...cool...love it already...Hope it come out soon...and yes I hope kang can get back to series soon too...maybe a funny one

the first time i saw him on the screen was in duelist...owwowowow...he was sooo hottttt!!!! i was drooling throughtout the whole movie...and now everytime i see his name on any movie cast...i have to watch itt....haha

He looks so good in " The Duelist" with the long hair and fringe. But somehow seeing him with his normal hair he looks so bad.

4 everyone who loves sad eyes very much...

Most Beautiful Entertainers in the eyes of professional


People who spent the most time with entertainers are none other than those staff members involved in the various media and film industries. So in their eyes, who is the most beautiful entertainer in Korea?

A Korean media (JES Entertainment Team) carried out a survey on 143 staff members from the entertainment industries from 19th to 28th this month, on “Best Face�, “Best Body� and “Best Overall Looks� of Korean entertainers. The respondents of the survey comprise of staff from various fields of the entertainment industry - planning, production, filming, promotion, marketing, managers etc. They each nominated 3 male and 3 female entertainers for each of the above 3 survey questions.

The titles “Best Overall Looks� male and female entertainer chosen by these entertainment people were taken by Jang Dong Gun and Jeon Ji Hyun. This survey also showed that the judgment of professional staff members and the pubic are the same.

“Best Faceâ€? Male and Female Entertainer – Jang Dong Gun, Kim Tae Hee

Jang Dong Gun took the title with an overwhelming majority of 92 votes. No.2 is Won Bin (51 votes), No .3 is Jo Ing Sung (50 votes).

The 150 people who took part in the survey could nominate 3 nominees for this category. Majority of them chose Jang Dong Gun who eventually took No 1 title with 92 votes. Nobody has any objection to this result.

In Korean entertainment circle, ‘Handsome Man= Jang Dong Gun’. Jang Dong Gun has already been 'officially' known as 'sculpture-like handsome man' Especially in movies ‘Chingu’ and ‘Typhoon’, Jang Dong Gun’s unique charisma became more prominent through the villain roles he played and more people came to like him.
　
In the female entertainer sections, Kim Tae Hee got the highest votes with 69 votes and took the “Best Face� title. Following closely behind her is Song Hye Kyo with 44 votes and Han Ga In with 42 votes. Kim Hee Sun was at No 4 (20 votes), Lee Young Ae No.6 (19 votes), Ko So Young No.8 (11 votes).

Jung Seung-hye, CEO of Morning Pictures that produced movie such as ‘Radio Star’ commented that “Among the male entertainers, Jang Dong Gun, Kang Dong Won and Jo In Sung are real handsome men. As for female entertainers, actress like Son Ye Jin is very outstanding.â€?

Director Yun Je-gyun who has directed movies such as ‘Sex is Zero’ and 'Miracle on 1st Street' also commented that “ Jang Dong Gun, Won Bin and Jung Woo Sung are all very charismatic actors and with great potential.â€?

Who Is Korea's Sexiest Male And Female Star?
Rain, Lee Hyori selected as 'male and female star with most sex appeal'.

The ever-sexy Lee Hyori and international rising star Rain, are selected as the most sexy female and male star respectively.

"Movieweek" implemented a 2-week long investigation beginning on the 10th (August), with the topic being "the country's most sexy male and female star". As a result, Lee Hyori and Rain obtained 16.8% and 12.1% respectively, ranking them at the number one position.

Those who participated in this investigation included domestic media, broadcasting and television stations, advertisements, movie production companies, publicists and market-related figures, altogether a total of 165 people; each person making his/her own selection of 5 top male and female stars.

(skipping the following paragraph about the other female winners after Lee Hyori, don't know what their names are~~sorry!)

For the males, Gong Yoo, the actor from MBC's recent hottest drama series "The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince" airing on Mondays, attained 8.7% of support to be ranked at 2nd, Daniel Henney received 7.9% which ranked him at 3rd (and another guy at 4th whom I don't know either).
