Song, Shin star in uncanny drama By Lee Hyo-won In the upcoming film “Hindsight,” actor Song Kang-ho hopes to tell an uncanny story through his collaboration with actress Shin Se-kyung. “(Shin and I) are an odd pairing, but I am glad the film seems to have captured an uncanny energy from this odd coupling and I hope audiences will be able to feel it, too,” Song told reporters during a promotional event for the film in Seoul, Wednesday. The 44-year-old seasoned actor and the 21-year-old sitcom starlet appear as no ordinary couple in the film. Song plays former gangster Du-heon, who retires from the underworld in order to pursue his dreams as a chef. Shin, best known as the devoted older sister in the hit TV series “High Kick Through the Roof,” casts off her sweet image in her role as a national shooting athlete-turned-assassin. She is commissioned to kill Du-heon but things get complicated when the two develop an intimate relationship. “It’s a relationship that’s hard to nail down — it’s neither romantic nor marked by the sort of affection you’d feel for a little sister. There’s enough room for the audience to make their own decision,” said the Song. For director Lee Hyeon-seung, who has helmed melodramas such as “Il Mare,” “Hindsight” marks his fourth drama about male-female relationships. “I have done four films that feature male-female duos. But none of them have been about conventional romantic relationships. Men and women form all sorts of connections. ... It might seem vague but this allows room for imagination and provokes curiosity,” Lee said. The director, promoting his first feature work in 10 years, said fans can look forward to seeing Song as never before. “If there had been a Song Kang-ho as directed by Park Chan-wook and a Song Kang-ho as depicted by Bong Joon-ho, then there had to be a Song Kang-ho in Lee Hyeon-seung’s style,” he said of the actor, who has appeared in such weighty films as Bong’s “The Host,” which remains the highest-grossing homespun film to date. He also starred in Park’s Cannes-winning vampire film, “Thirst.” Song’s best trait is that he is unafraid of new challenges, Lee said. When asked which actor might be suitable to play Song’s part should “Hindsight” be remade in Hollywood like “Il Mare” (Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock star in the parts originally played by Lee Jung-jae and Jun Ji-hyun, aka Gianna Jun, respectively), he said there is no one. “Even in Hollywood, Song has to play it. There is no actor in the world that can deliver subtle nuances like he can.” He added that even sequences cut during the editing process captured such diverse faces of the actor that he wished he could have used them all. Song, on the other hand, said he had much to learn from his younger co-star. “I had a difficult time catching up with Shin’s beauty, youth and passion,” he said. “It was an extremely enjoyable filmmaking process that allowed me to learn a lot from observing both the inner and outer beauty of this actress.” He added that he looked forward to watching the young woman’s growth as an actress. “She may be young but she has a lot of potential. She performed very well in this film, but I look forward to the colorful acting she will have to offer in the days to come.” Shin said it was an honor to act opposite Song. “He is not an actor who wants to bask in the spotlight by himself — he wanted us to propel (the narrative) together and I was greatly moved by that,” she said. Meanwhile Shin had to learn how to ride a motorcycle and shoot guns for the part, and said it was a meaningful experience. In addition to Song and Shin, the film features a stellar cast of supporting actors, including Youn Yuh-jung and Oh Dal-soo. The film, distributed by CJ E&M Pictures, is slated to open in early September. http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/ |

Actors help 'Hindsight' keep focus By Lee Hyo-won In the 1990s, Lee Hyeon-seung shot to stardom with the visually lush “Blue In You” (1992) and became a household name with another striking film, “Il Mare” (2000), which went on to become the first local flick to be remade in Hollywood (into “The Lake House,” a 2006 piece starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock). “Hindsight” takes the director’s art-school pedigree to new heights, by featuring even more breathtaking, color-coded visuals set to signature soundtracks from his previous two films. Lee is an artsy auteur with a knack for painting beautiful scenes, capturing an ambiance and crafting subtle nuances between characters. His latest film is yet another unconventional drama exploring an intimate yet hard-to-nail-down relationship between a man and woman, but the script often resorts to laughably cliched elements to propel its rather choppy narrative structure. As a result, the striking visuals, particularly those set amid a blue salt farm (thus the film’s Korean title “Blue Salt”), end up feeling like a very, very long and expensive music video. However, fiendishly talented actors, including the irreplaceable Song Kang-ho in the lead, and screen veteran Youn Yuh-jeong spicing things up in a charismatic supporting role, give substance to the overly stylized story. Song has worked with Korean cinema greats such as Lee Chan-dong, Park Chan-wook and Bong Joon-ho, and is no stranger to playing a gangster. Following the press preview for “Hindsight” in Seoul Tuesday, he told reporters how he began as the youngest member in the gang in “Green Fish” (1996), rose to third in the ranks in “No. 3” (1997), became second in line in “The Show Must Go On” (2007) until finally portraying the boss in “Hindsight.” The actor brings a much more mature characterization of the guy-next-door-with-secrets persona he has portrayed in films like 2010’s “Secret Reunion,” aka “Blood Brothers.” Here he plays Du-heon, a legendary figure in Seoul’s underworld who retires and resettles in Busan in order to pursue his dreams of becoming a chef — to use the knife for healthier purposes. In spite of Du-heon’s wish to lead a quiet life, past ties do not let go easily. The former gang boss had been part of an alliance between once-feuding clans that united under the leadership of a veteran mobster. The president of this united league of gangs had always eyed Du-heon as his successor, and so his jealous peers keep tabs on his activities in Busan. Starlet Shin Se-kyung casts off her feminine image to play the watchdog Se-bin, a young rebellious type with a penchant for motorcycles and leather jackets. Se-bin closes in on her subject by enrolling in the same culinary academy. Du-heon is far from exhibiting any signs of talent as a cook while Se-bin seems to be a natural. The two are drawn closer to each other as they bicker over proper ways of handling fish, and develop a strange friendship. Shin, initially awkward, eases into the role as her interactions with Song become greater. Meanwhile, other gang bosses feel increasingly threatened by Du-heon, and Se-bin, who happens to be a former national shooting athlete, is ordered to kill her new friend. When our young heroine refuses to execute the mission,her best friend Eun-jeong (model Lee Som), oblivious of the intimate ties the two have established, makes an attempt to kill Du-heon herself. But Eun-jeong meets a fatal end after the failed attempt and Se-bin decides to kill Du-heon out of vengeance. And yet, every time she has a good shot at her target, she hesitates. In the meantime, Madame Kang (Youn), the ruthless hitwoman whom Se-bin works for, decides to employ another sniper, K (Kim Min-jun), to kill Du-heon. Du-heon on the other hand eventually learns that Se-bin has been ordered to assassinate him, but firmly believes she never will and does all he can to protect her. The story here is simple: A young girl befriends her target, while the target is aware of the situation but pretends not to know. The film, though, strays too far away from its main idea to explain the background stories — the only saving grace is that the supporting actors, such as the surprisingly goofy Chun Jeong-myoung and veterans such as Oh Dal-su, make these unnecessary tangents interesting. The film’s ultimate mistake is that it wraps up in a rush with a surprise ending that dispels the magic. “Hindsight,” a CJ E&M Pictures release, opens in September. http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/ |
