While waiting for Ahjusshi, and Recipe, some other movies to look forward to, hopefully. Sometimes when I start a movie, I can't believe it is made by the same nation as dramas. Korean movies are the epitome of freedom, comparing to dramas. This is understandable since dramas are broadcasted on TV. TV shows are watched by everyone, you can't put a monitoring device on the box to check who sits in front of it. In cinemas is easier - when you're under certain age - you can't buy a ticket. TV... Well, this is the main source of all of our frustrations lately. Because no matter how beautiful the sensuality between the people is, when it comes to kisses, suddenly everything just flats like a balloon. Yes, there are some nice, hot, great kisses in dramas, but in overall- there is a shortage of actors who can do it. And one of them is in the military, dumbass! Not his fault, I know... We agreed on this, first kiss can be awkward, but for our hearts and butterflies sake - don't make Amishes out of thirtysomething people living in a highly developped country!
OK, rant is over, because I could go on and on.
First movie is:
Love, In Between
Directed by Jeong Yoon-soo
Cast: Sin Eun-kyeong, Jeong Joon-ho, Sim I-yeong, Choi Jae-won, Lee Seon-jin, Kwon Seong-min

Apart from the story that seems to be intense or even over-intense, I like the poster here (not the one above). This ash-soaked violet color is both repulsive (it reminds me of the funeral accessories) and enticing (hedonism). I like how it "leaks out" from the sofa like a deluge from a broken dam.
And the trailer:
Yeouido:
Directed: Song Jeong-woo-I
Cast: Kim Tae Woo, Park Seong Wook, Hwang Soo Joong, Kim San Ho
Release date : 2010/11/25
