Yoo Seung Ho, Go Ara, and more begin filming for ‘Joseon Magician’

[blackpapillon.livejournal.com]

Filming for South Korean movie ‘Joseon Magician‘ recently began on February 27th, and the four month long filming will see the team film around Yongin, Namyangju, Mungyeong, Sokcho, and Hwasun.

The movie tells the story of a top Joseon magician who falls in love with a princess, gets embroiled in a sinister plot, and seeks to go against his destiny.

After months of meetings, work on the the main film site was finally completed recently, and the vast site is definitely one of its kind in the industry. The cast members have gone through script reading sessions, magic training, fighting training, and also held a prayer ceremony to pray for the movie’s success.

The pairing of Yoo Seung Ho and Go Ara is also one of the movie’s biggest attraction. The two recently took part in a script reading session. Even though it was just a reciting of lines from the script, it felt like they were at the actual filming site, and demonstrated the meticulous preparation work that they have put in prior to the session.

‘Joseon Magician’ will be Yoo Seung Ho’s comeback project after his discharge, and he will play top Joseon magician, Hwan Hee. Following months of magic training, Yoo Seung Ho is set to show off his array of high quality magic tricks.

Yoo Seung Ho said, “‘Joseon Magician’ will be my first comeback project following my discharge, so I am really looking forward to it. The two year break has been a long one for me personally, but I have to be even more responsible compared to two years before during filming, and I will give it my best shot. We hope to have a good result at the end, and I will be relying on my seniors and film enjoyably.”

Go Ara will play Princess Cheong Myung, and like Yoo Seung Ho, has been hard at work at learning horse riding and action scenes.

Kwak Do Won will play a Tang Dynasty magician, and is determined to get his revenge on Hwan Hee for something that happened in the past. Jo Yoon Hee plays a gisaeng named Bo Eum who is gifted when it comes to talking, and is exceptional with acupuncture. The movie will also featured talented cast members like Lee Kyoung Young, Park Chul Min, Song Byung Ho, Jo Dal Hwan, and others, and add glitter to the movie.

‘Joseon Magician’ will be directed by Kim Dae Seung, and will open in cinemas in the latter half of 2015.

this sounds so good im pumped. ooo ysh looks so good in that still. go ara looks lovely as always.

sigh, this would be fun if it was a drama but maybe it's good that it isn't because the special effects might be cheesy and the budget wouldn't be as big

[blackpapillon.livejournal.com]

i know right? i avoid period dramas and sageuks mostly b/c i'm afraid to see cheapo effects and stunts.

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

Sageuk dramas have the most quality when it comes to Kdramas -- the fighting scenes and the script and the acting are all top notch but do avoid sageuk that may have magic element in it (though Lee Minho's Faith is awesome and didnt look cheap). But the rest of the sageuk out there are awesome so do give it a try! :D

[blackpapillon.livejournal.com]

I tempted to watch Warrior Baek Dong Soo since it doesn't have too many episodes like other sageuks, so I might try it later when I have some free days :9

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

The bromance is to look for in the drama and Yoo Seungho's hair is basically so perfect and flawless! T_T I cant take my eyes off him everytime he appears on screen. His hair is tooo mesmerizing! He is no doubt the most good looking character ever grace Sageuk tbh. :DD

Most sageuk look anazing and don't have cheap cgi...though random fusion one might have it though

[agoongprincess.livejournal.com]

like the above comments say most sageuks are top notch in terms of production quality. i've recently been trying some but the ones everyone reccomends have like 50 episodes. one even had like 80 or 60. i can't watch that much.

im really enjoying queen in hyun's man right now which is a fantasy time travel romance saguek that's super good and the leads have incredible chemistry (they were actually dating & he confessed his love at the press conference)

my first Saeguk was http://wiki.d-addicts.com/The_Return_of_Iljimae
24 episodes and based on a manga so the plot is consistent

I've watched a few of the super long ones, Yi San was the best.

Three Musketeers
Sungkyunkwan Scandal
Tree with deep roots

[agoongprincess.livejournal.com]

SS is one of my ults i love it. I'm not a fan of 3 Muskateers, the first episode with Yonghwa's bad acting and weird narration put me off.

Tree With Deep Roots has been on my list for a while and I'm going to try the original Iljimae bcuz prince of everything Lee Jun Ki leads. I'm going to try The Slave Hunters with Jang Hyuk bcuz everyone loved it and it got like 46% in ratings so it seems like a must and it also has a compelling plot from what I heard.

Yoo Seung Ho, so Fine, too Fine

[charlotterhys.livejournal.com]

Is the Tang Dynasty magician immortal...? Because otherwise that is some MAJOR time travel.

I'm sorry, that is seriously the only thing that stuck with me after reading that. XD

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

I'm assuming he's immortal lol

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

he looks sooooo good.

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

Looks like I will be only seeing him in the big screen at the end of next year. DX
