I am so excited Han Chae Ah is suppose to be in this too, isn't she? I hope the writing and directing is good; it sounds like an introspective indie-type film.

About eels.

YUSSS. I love him sfm so I will definitely look forward to seeing this.

Also, I thought he enlisting this year tho?

There were rumors/reports that he was enlisting late last year but that obviously didn't happen lol. He's got to be running out of time, though ;_; I'm at the point where I kind of wish he'd just go so I can quit dreading it and he can hurry up and come back.

“After being cast, Park Ki Woong has analyzed his character in detail from hairstyle to costume and is working hard to perfectly become Chen."

This bit made me chuckle a bit though. Is that really the most important thing right now? Hair and costume? lol

Anyway, I used to really like Kim Kiduk's films (not sure if 'like' is the verb for it though... it's complicated). Didn't know he was into producing nowadays.

Park Ki Woong is one those actors, I feel, who really likes getting into character. If he can change his hair, he so will, lmao.

I think he has been producing for a while now and writing as well (it's prolly been years D:). Kim Ki Duk is interesting! I always use this word to describe his works since sometimes I walk away from them not knowing how to feel. But, they can be really good. He has a bleak outlook on life/society and is "in-your-face" so...he's one of those acquired tastes...lol.

Oh, no doubt the external features are part of how the actor gets into character, but it just felt a tad un-climatically superficial to praise how he's immersing him into his work by busying himself with hair and clothing... I mean what about the characters hopes, fears, dreams and other motivation..? It was just a media-play gone wrong moment for me. Unintentionally funny.

About Kim Kiduk iirc he originally started out a scriptwriter so that's no surprise, I just didn't know about the producing. But that's good, it would be interesting to see how all that comes together with him steering the ship but the actual director possibly not having quite as bleak an outlook of life.

Interesting is one way to put it. Also terrible, heartbreaking, beautiful. They kinda grip you for a while and stay in your head. For better or for worse.

No one seems to know what the movie is actually about yet besides eels so maybe this is just their way of not letting out any info out earlier than they have to, lol.

True, true. I think that kind of thing showed in Poongsan where there was kind of a hopeful tone throughout the film. I feel that if Kim Ki Duk directed it himself there might not have been.

And I agree with this last sentence--one thing that's always gripping in his films are how many of the characters either don't talk at all or there is just barely any dialogue. It feels as if you have to work to understand the characters and that kind of investment for two hours really stays with you.

Kim Ki Duk films can be a hit or miss, but they are never without controversy and they are always fearless. I think its interesting that his actors are starting to be chosen from a more popular pool of candidates, and its interesting to think what that symbolizes. You can be sure that isn't arbitrary....

I am excited for this. It seems like one of his more mellow pieces and I think I dig those the most. His movies like 3-Iron and ones that he has written such as Poongsan. He is very dark but I am always interested to see what he puts out and have watched quite a few of his works even though I don't always know what to feel (especially when they get to the end, lol).

He's a unique guy, for sure. It seems one of his best is Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring but I haven't seen it yet. It seems to be an introspective piece as well.

I haven't watched his most recent stuff, but I want to. I am pretty excited for this film since it has two actors I like. Park Ki Woong is awesome, I wish he'd take on even more things--I really wouldn't mind being saturated with Park Ki Woong news and Han Chae Ah doesn't seem like she'd be very interesting but she really adds a special something to her roles from what I have seen of her. And she hardly ever makes them one-note even if the character might be so on paper. That's always fun to watch.
