    충무로 유괴 소재 영화 열풍
    $this->handle_bbcode_img_match('http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/5237/23459565vo.jpg')

    ‘유괴당한 충무로.’
    금쪽같은 아이를 유괴당하는 일은 부모들에게 상상하기조차도 싫은 끔찍한 일이다. 올 하반기 충무로에선 ‘유괴’를 소재로 한 영화들이 잇달아 제작 중이어서 눈길을 끌고 있다. 설경구·김남주·김수로·김선아 등 톱스타들이 주연을 맡아 더욱 관심을 모으고 있다.

    설경구와 김남주는 팩션영화 ‘그놈 목소리’(감독 박진표, 제작 영화사집 )에서 아이를 유괴당한 상류층 부모를 연기한다. 설경구는 이 영화에서 인기 뉴스앵커 한경배, 김남주는 그의 완벽한 아내 오지선 역을 맡았다. 아무것도 부족함이 없던 이들의 삶은 아이가 유괴당하면서 지옥으로 변한다. 실제 미제 사건인 ‘이형호 어린이 유괴 사건’을 근간으로 만든 이 영화는 아이를 유괴당한 부모의 피 말리는 44일간의 행적을 그린다.

    김수로는 코믹 서스펜스물 ‘잔혹한 출근’(감독 김태윤, 제작 게이트픽쳐스 )에서 ‘이중유괴’에 빠진다. 그는 평범한 샐러리맨 동철. 동철은 주식폭락으로 진 사채에 시달리다 못해 갑부의 여고생 딸을 납치하지만 그날 자신의 아이가 유괴당하는 황당한 상황에 처한다. 그는 여고생의 몸값으로 받은 돈으로 자신의 아이 몸값을 내려고 한다. 유괴가 소재지만 김수로가 주연인 만큼 심각하지 않고 코믹한 상황이 연출될 전망이다.

    김선아는 스릴러 ‘목요일의 아이’(감독 윤재구, 제작 윤앤준 )에서 유괴당한 아이를 구하기 위해 불가능한 미션에 도전하는 변호사 유지연으로 등장한다. 유지연은 법정에서는 철두철미하지만 자신의 딸에게는 헌신적인 어머니다. 딸의 목숨을 살리기 위해 범죄자를 변호해야 하는 아이러니한 상황에 처하게 된다. 범죄스릴러의 묘미와 김선아의 연기 변신이 관객들의 눈길을 사로잡을 전망이다.

    Summary:
    Kidnap

    Child kidnapping is the most terrible thing the parents could imagine. Starting June, there will be a lot of films which tell stories of kidnaps coming to the cinema. However, "Thursday's Child" is the centre of attention since the cast includes famous actors and actresses in Korea (Sol Kyung Gu, Kim Nam Joo, Kim Soo Ro, Kim Suna).

    Sol Kyung Gu and Kim Nam Joo will be playing a rich couple whom child is kidnapped. Kim Suna plays a cold-blooded but capable lawyer, Yoo Ji Yon, who'd succeed in almost every one of her cases. Because of her invovlement in the case, her daughter is kidnapped by an illegal enterprise and she is then forced to free a death-sentenced prisoner as one of the conditions. The plot is exciting and complicated at the same time, with more characters and evidence being discovered towards the end.

    Filming starts in June and is scheduled to be released in this Winter. The comedy/suspense genre is never-before-seen in Korean films. Kim Suna's performance will definately capture hearts of the audience.

    *I just translated the main points, coz I can't really understand the Chinese translation too. More later.

    キム・ソナ、大ヒット主演ドラマ「私の名前はキム・サムスン」をPR %

    $this->handle_bbcode_img_match('http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/4273/kimsunah1783xk.jpg')

     来日中の韓国女優、キム・ソナ(30)が16日、都内ホテルで、WOWOWで7月6日から放送される主演 ドラマ「私の名前はキム・サムスン」(木曜後8・55)をPRした。

     同作は、30歳を目前にした太めの女性パティシエ(ソナ)が繰り広げるロマンチック・コメディー。昨夏韓 国で放送され、最高視聴率50.5%を記録した大ヒット作だ。

     役柄のため8キロ増量したソナは、黒のセクシードレスで登場したが、「写真なんですけど、まだ体重が元に 戻ってないので、細めに(撮るよう)お願いします」と、恥ずかしそうにおなかをチラリ。中学、高校と東京の 学校に通っており、日本語はペラペラ。1度も通訳を使うことなく、世の30代女性に「自分に自信を持ってい れば大丈夫です」とエールを送っていた。

    Korean actress Kim Suna arrived at Tokyo to promote TV drama "My Name Is Kim Sam Soon" today at 1 p.m. It's a press conference held for "My Name Is Kim Sam Soon", which is showing on channel WOWOW next month. There were approximately 150 reporters who showed up at the conference, which proved the popularity of this drama even before its release. Kim Suna appeared in a black gown. At first, she looked nervous, but later she started joking and captured everyone's heart with her gifted charm. TV drama MNIKSS was shown in Summer 2005 in Korea, it became MBC's highest rating drama ever in history, with a 50.5% viewing rate. The story is about a 30-year-old patissier, and it recieved compliments and support from women in Korea. This started a "Sam Soon" phenomenal. Co-stars in the drama, including Hyun Bin and Daniel Henney, became hot topics.

    Kim Suna, who finished her secondary education in Japan, communicated with the media with perfect Japanese, without the presence of an interpretator. The Japanese media were shocked. She talked about the effort she had to put into this drama, "Because I gained 8 kg within a very short period, I was worried about my health. But now I've overcame the nervousness." When being asked about the many awards she won after KSS, she said, "it's just luck and I'd work harder in the future."
    "How about the type of guy you like?" She answered, "He should share the same moral values and we should have same topics in conversation. Looks are not important, but then, I'd still look at the appearance." This statement made everyone laughed. She was asked about the invitation to act in a Japanese drama. She said, "if only I could work with a handsome actor, I'd accept the job." Her humour, cute expression and perfect Japanese recieved a thunderous applause in the end.

    "My Name Is Kim Sam Soon" - Live interview with Kim Suna (by a fan who went to the event)

    June 16 - Even though it's raining out there since this morning, I'm in a cheerful mood because I'm about to participate in the interview session. From Toyko's JR Ebisu bus stop, I walked through the overhead bridge. Entered Toyko Hotel, took the escalator to the 2nd floor underground, the interview's venue is the ballroom. I arrived at about 11.30 a.m., but there were already 50 over people who were lining up at the entrance. I got in at the back of the line, received a ticket, and chatted while waiting for the interview to start at 1 p.m. When I'm waiting, I took photos of the KSS posters around.

    $this->handle_bbcode_img_match('http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/2649/samsoon1309ba.jpg')

    PM13:30顷ようやく、会场に入って行く事ができたんです。席は ほんとに自由で、それこそ空いてる席に座ったもん胜ちでした。なので、なるべく真中にと思って、一番前のテ ーブルの1个奥の 丁度真ん中があいていたのでそこに座ったの。  <BR>かなりベストポジションだったから、とても楽しみにしてたんだけど・・・ これが、サムスンケーキを见立てた、ケーキ! とても美味しかった~

    At last, I waited until 1 p.m., we were allowed to enter. They really didn't have arrangement for the seats, you were free to choose the best seat in the house. So, I decided to sit in the middle if possible. Finally, I sat at the front table and I got the middle seat! It really was the best seat around and I waited longingly for the event to begin.
    Wait......what's that? Oh my God, I recognised that cake! It was the cake in KSS! Yummy!

    $this->handle_bbcode_img_match('http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/4059/samsoon1311zu.jpg')

    食べ终えて、まったりおしゃべりしていると、アナウンスで・・・・ 「今日のキムソナさんのトークショーは、カメラ、录画等の撮影は禁止です」と! えええええええ~~~~~!!!!!????? マジで?

    After the lunch, when we were still chatting, the host announced, "For today's Kim Suna's live interview, no cameras or video cameras or any recording tools are allowed." WHAT!!!!!????? ARE YOU SERIOUS?

    $this->handle_bbcode_img_match('http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/5423/samsoon1327ec.jpg')

    実际、ソナさんが登场して、イスに座ってみれば、かなり近くで、そりゃもう 感动ものでした!!! スラッとしてて、颜が小さくて、かわいいの!!! 目の前だったの! 大体、距离にして・・・5mくらいか 近いでしょ? トークショーには、あらかじめ通訳の方がいらしたが、今回出番全くなしだった・・・なぜって? それは・・ ・ ソナさんが、完全に初めから最後まですべて、 日本语で话をされたからなんです!!!!!

    Respect ~~~~~ Until Suna was really on stage, sat on the chair, I was so nervous because she was very near to me!!!
    With a tall figure, and a small face, she's so cute!!! Just right in front of me!
    Only about 5 m away from me. Very near, right? Even though there was a translator, she didn't need the help at all.
    Why? Because......she answered questions in Japanese from the beginning until the end!!!!!
    Deep respect~~~~~!!!!!

    $this->handle_bbcode_img_match('http://img71.imageshack.us/img71/6158/samsoon1339rd.jpg')

    日本语が出来る事をもちろん知っていたが、ここまで完璧にしかもスムーズに <违和感なく话しているソナさんを见て、今までより、さらにもっと! 亲近感と安心感が沸いてきたんです。 会场も最初の挨拶で、いきなり 日本语でスラスラと话してるのを见て、ざわざわとどよめきが・・・!!! そして、 大拍手~~~~~~!!!!! そうして、今回のトークショーが始まったんです。(PM15:20顷) (あらかじめ、最初の1时间がサムスン第1话を鉴赏!) アナウンサー:日本语がとてもお上手ですが、日本に居る时は、どんな 场所に游びに行ったんですか?  ソナさん: 新宿とか・・・渋谷とか 色々ですね・・・^^;;; アナウンサー: 今回なぜこのドラマがそんなに爱されたんでしょうか?  ソナさん: ドラマに関して、最初に监督様と打ち合わせの际、今回のドラマは 现実的に、リアルに行こうと话してくださって、その通り最後まで リアルに终わってくれたから、その部分が、みんなに深く爱された んだと思う。サムスンは、なんでも言いたい事をその场で言って居る所なんかが、现実的で、多くのみなさんに 共感を与えたんだと思いますね。     私は、A型だから、言えなくて・・・(と、ここで会 场にいる A型女性を问うソナさん!)でも思った程、A型の人が居なくてすみません! どうでもいい事を言ってしまっ て~汗笑!!

    Of course I knew it all along that she could speak Japanese.
    But when I saw it for myself that she could speak the language so perfectly, without any grammar mistake, I was more impressed and surprised from that moment onwards.
    I felt warm and that I could relate myself to her. After she greeted everyone in Japanese, everyone cheered. And later on, thunderous applause followed. Around 3.20 p.m., the interview session started.

    Firstly, we watched the first episode of KSS!
    Host: You speak rather fluent Japanese, when you were living in Japan, where did you often visit?
    KSA: Shinjuku, Shibuya......and lots of places.
    Host: Why do you think this drama is popular?
    KSA: About this drama, I discussed it with the director at first, and he told me that it was going to be filmed according to the real aspects of today's society, and we'd follow this principle until the end. I think everyone liked it for the fact that it's real.
    I think a person like Sam Soon would really say anything she wants to say. This got many people's attention in the reality world. Because my blood type is A, I really can't be so honest and express my feelings like she does......(she started asking whether there was any woman with blood type A) But like I predicted, there's no one with blood type A here. Sorry! Talked about things which are not related (sweat......)! Hahaha!!!

    アナウンサー: サムスンと実际のソナさんの性格上で似ているところはありますか? ソナさん :  ありますね。细かい所が、似ていて家で、ゴロゴロしていたり、普段は、もっとラフな格好で ジャージ姿で过ごすとか・・・。アナウンサー: あのドラマを见ていると、夜中でもケーキが食べたくなるん ですけど、ソナさんは、実际にケーキを作ったりしますか?ソナさん : ぜんぜん! 笑中学、高校を出て、 その後アメリカに留学に行った时は、自分で作ったりしていたが、韩国に戻ってきて、忙しくなり时间もないし 、お母さんが おいしいお店もたくさんあるしぃ~ 笑

    Host: Compared to the Sam Soon days, I think you've slimmed down a lot. How did you managed this?
    KSA: I'm only half-way at it. Talking about how i slimmed down, this is also something Korea wants to know. Honestly, after the filming ended, I've tried all kinds of diets, but none of them was effective.
    I think it's because everyone has a different type of body, so staying healthy is the first aim for me now. Treat your health problems seriously. Health is very important!
    Host: If there's an invitation to act in a Japanese production, what will be your decision?
    KSA: Well......if the paycheck is of a huge amount.....(laughed)
    Host: Among Japanese actors, who would you like to work with?
    KSA: Yutaka Takenouchi. I've liked him since his days in NONNO magazines.

    More translation:

    アナウンサー: 出演者に関しての质问なんですが、共演された、ヒョンビンさんに関しては? ソナさん : ヒョンビンさんは、素敌な人です。あまりしゃべらないし、撮影の合间も 真剣に努力している人ですね。実际の彼は、年は若いが、落ち着いていて、大人っぽい人ですよ。  かっこい い人~~~~ *^^* ♪ アナウンサー: ヒジン役のチョン・リョウォンさんに関しては?ソナさん : 彼女は纯粋な人ですよ。オー ストラリアにいた事もあって、 歌手でもあって実际歌が上手いかは・・・さておき 笑 !!!(酔っ払ってる时しか闻いてなくて)英语が上手くて、本当に、纯粋な部分がとてもある人ですね。アナ ウンサー: ダニエル・へニーさんに関しては?ソナさん : 彼は・・・ナイスガイ! 本当にかっこいい人 ですね。そのまま・・・笑 

    Host: May I ask a few questions about the actors whom you've worked with? How about Mr. Hyun Bin?
    KSA: Mr. Hyun Bin doesn't speak much, even during the filming of KSS. He's a serious, hardworking person. Although he's actually very young, he's a reliable and matured man. And he's handsome!
    Host: Miss Jeong Ryeo Won who played Hee Jin, what about her?
    KSA: She's a pure-minded person. Lived in Australia, was once a singer, whether she really can sing......is not the point for now (laughed) (I only get to listen when we're drunk), speaks fluent English. She really is quite a pure-minded person.
    Host: How about Mr. Daniel Henney?
    KSA: Daniel......nice guy! Really gorgeous! That's all......(laughed)

    $this->handle_bbcode_img_match('http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/6245/samsoon1357rk.jpg')

    アナウンサー: 今後のソナさんの活动を闻かせて顶けますか?ソナさん : 时期作では、8月にあちらで弁 护士の役をやりますよ。その为、今よりも、4,5kg・・・役作りの为、もうちょっと、やせたいですね。ド ラマを爱して顶いて、感谢します、今後の新しい姿も関心を持って 见て下さいね。 宜しくお愿いします。有难う御座いました! O}}"+.

    Host: Can you tell me, Miss Kim Suna, your future projects?
    KSA: For now, I'll have a project in August, playing a lawyer in a Korean movie. So I hope I could slim down about 4 or 5 kg more to fit in to the character. Thank you for liking Kim Sam Soon, and please support my new characters too. Thank you!

    时间にして、30分位・・・(PM15:50终了)本当に、早かった・・・もっと话も闻きたかったし、こち らから、质问もして见たかったが、时间があまりにもなくて、惜しい気持ちでいっぱいでした~~ ~!!! また、会える日を待って、今度はお话できる日が来るまで、顽张ります!!!トークショーの内容は、思い出し たまま、アップしてるから、少し顺番や 言叶の使い方が违うかもしれないけど、これが限界! 脳みそ振り绞って思い出してみたんだけど・・・详しく は、後程、WOWOWでゆっくり复习して见てね。んで、サジンは・・・撮影禁止だったから、撮ってないの・ ・・ごめんね。

    After 30 minutes (around 3.50 p.m.), the event ended.
    It really ended too early......although we wanted to listen to more answers, wanted to ask more questions, we really didn't have the time to do so. What a pity~~~!!!
    Wish we could meet again and talk to each other in the future, I'd work hard!
    The details of this interview are from what I could remember. If there are mistakes, I'm sorry. I've done my best.
    For more details, I'd re-watch the interview on channel WOWOW later.
    Oh ya, about Suna's photos, because cameras were forbidden, I didn't succeed. Sorry.

    Just to mention, the numbers shown on the LCD screen were those (on the back of the tickets) which won the lucky draw. Mine is number 55. Sadly, I don't think I have the luck of winning lucky draws......

    All About the Real Sam-Soon
    [Cine21 Mag Interviews Kim Seon-Ah]
    (Posted In Asia Interviews )

    The 'girl next door'. You know, the one you see when you go down the street, eating some junk food at a 포장마차 (tent bar), half drunk and swearing like a storm; the one you can talk to, without worrying about how you'll look; a friend who understands you and can relate to your problems. How many actresses try to become that, only to fail miserably, showing how much different from that image they are? How many seem to perfectly fit that image, only to reveal they don't really care about being the girl next door, but just advancing their career using this persona to fool people? But there's always exceptions, and Kim Seon-Ah is certainly one of them. She's not one of those obnoxious beauties sculptured by cosmetics, with model-like bodies creating an immediate distance from the viewer. She's just an average woman, with all the flaws and charms that come with it. And that's the reason why Korea has fallen in love with this 30 year old 'girl', because she's real, she never tries to change her image on purpose, never tries to hide her personality traits in an attempt to fit with a certain trend. And when her latest TV Drama 내 이름은 김삼순 (My Lovely Sam-Soon) rocked the nation last Summer, recording ratings of over 50%, even Chungmuro realized Kim Seon-Ah was not only the reigning 'Queen of Comedy', but also a sort of new age Choi Jin-Shil, the new girl next door.

    She had quite an interesting childhood, moving from one country to the other, experiences which added certain elements to her personality, like that of feeling like every other Korean, but with that extra touch of awareness, that ability to adapt to new situations people who travel a lot often show. Born in Daegu, she moved to Tokyo and spent most of her adolescent years there, to later move again to the States, and attend Ball State in Indiana. Finally returning to Korea in the early 90s, she majored in Theater/Film at Kyunghee University, and started her modeling career in the mid 90s. But, even though her debut on TV came around 1997 with 뉴욕 스토리 (New York Story), few people noticed her. Her eclectic mix of accents, a potboiler of Japanese speech patterns, Konglish accent picked up in the States and her native Jeollado 사투리 (dialect) made her early days in the industry a struggle. The first time I really noticed her was in 황금시대 (The Golden Age), a 2000 Historical Drama set in the 1930s, and starring Cha In-Pyo and Kim Hye-Soo. Not a great show by any means, but Kim's performance there was enough to give a lasting impression.

    Her debut in films came with the maligned SF blockbuster 예스터데이 (Yesterday), one of the films which started the so called 'IMF crisis of Chungmuro', with venture companies deserting the business after a few blockbusters tanked at the box office. But if there was anything salvageable from the film was Kim's performance, as the sexy agent Mei, complete with her sultry Catwoman-meets-Blade Runner suit. If the film was a giant failure at the box office, things went a little differently for her in 몽정기 (Wet Dreams), a sweet little comedy which fell right in the middle of the 'nostalgia' craze starting around 2001 with 친구 (Friend), but also one of the many sexy comedies which populated Korean Cinema during those years. The comedy, also starring Lee Beom-Soo, confirmed her popularity, and positioned her as a potential top star.

    Her profile raised even more when she had a very poignant and funny cameo in Lee Joon-Ik's gem 황산벌 (Once Upon a Time in The Battlefield), as Gyebaek (Park Joong-Hoon)'s wife, and later the top hit 위대한 유산 (The Greatest Expectation), an ode to unemployed Koreans all over the country. Everything seemed to go well for her, but then came 해피 에로 크리스마스 (Happy Ero Christmas), still considered the most regretful decision in her career by Kim herself. Save for Park Young-Gyu's hilarious tirades about Japanese melodramas, the film was a complete waste of time. And, considering Kim was cast in a rush and didn't have much of a connection with the director, it's pretty clear why she remembers the film with sadness.

    But after that she finally conquered the big audiences, with a string of lightweight but entertaining comedies, like S 다이어리 (S Diary) and 잠복근무 (She's On Duty), all successful and well received by the public. Her return to TV after a half decade in 'My Lovely Sam-Soon' was a striking success, and now all she has to do is choose one between the ocean of proposals she's getting. But, never betraying her nature until the end, she's taking a break. She's focusing once again on her studies, and letting all the stress of gaining weight (for her role in the TV Drama) and subsequently losing it fade out. Perhaps the most shining star of 2005 on TV, and one of the few surefire box office draws in Chungmuro, Kim Seon-Ah recently had a very lengthy and interesting interview for the print version of Cine21. Here's a few highlights:

    I know you've been playing the piano since you were 5. Was it something your parents hoped from the beginning?
    Kim Seon-Ah: No, I started by myself. There was a dealer selling pianos next door, and when I was a little kid I used to meet him pretty often, and fooled around with him. He'd start singing a song, and I'd follow him moving my fingers on the piano. I still have a photo of that. So my mother thought I might have had talent, and I started taking lessons. I progressed really fast, and teachers said I was naturally gifted. But then! That's where problems started. I did all the things lazybones do... I'd go to the back room saying I was practicing piano, then I'd close the cover and play over it (bursts out laughing). Even without practice, I won some prizes and contests, I boasted all the time about that. But then after three years of Primary School I faced reality, and failed an elimination contest. All the other kids would practice, what, 8-10 hours a day. Me? Not even half an hour. I'd go out, play with elastic cords, fool around all day and always come home with holes in my socks. I was always curious about new things, so when I was 7 I started figure skating, swimming, tennis, I even went to an Art Academy.

    When I was in Primary School, I falsified my mother's signature and entered an 학원 (Academy) by myself, then later I went to my mother and asked for money (laughs). I even studied violin for a year, but my jaw kept hurting so I stopped. But then we moved to Japan. When I was in my sophomore year of High School, because I was thinking of majoring in piano, I called 114 to ask the phone number of Tokyo University's professor, without any particular plan in mind. Listening to me play, the professor said I had talent, but my fingers were too stiff, that even if I practiced like crazy it would be hard. Right that moment... I gave up. During High School I had a lot to think: while learning Mandarin, since I thought it living there wouldn't be that difficult, I even planned to move to China to study with a few friends. But I was probably too vague, so I went to study in the States after all.

    You went to Primary School in Korea, Middle and High School in Japan, and College in the States. How do you think your friends in all those countries will remember you? Any major difference in how you looked over the years?
    Kim: In Primary School I looked like a tomboy. Still (whispers softly)... not to brag, but the guys kind of followed me around. Even now. I can't. Possibly. Understand why. Talking with them nowadays I just say I liked the good old days, and ask if it's the same for them, that kind of stuff (laughs). In Middle School, when we moved to Japan, I was really fat, and lost 15Kg in a month. Not just me, but the whole family lost weight together. At first we couldn't speak the language, so all us three brothers and sisters did was go to school, eat apples and watch TV. Friends from my High School days will remember I was really shy, I have a lot of nice memories from that period. Just a week after I transferred schools, the homeroom teacher came to me and even if I couldn't speak a word of Japanese, he offered me to take part in the school choir, since I could play piano.

    The first song we played, all the kids started applauding, and I couldn't be happier. Back then I'd carry 5 dictionaries with me all the time: Korean-Japanese, Japanese-Korean, Hanja, Korean-English and English-Korean. I flunked all the subjects I needed to graduate: Japanese, Nature and Society. No matter what the teacher asked, I'd always end up with a blank. He was so sorry for me that in my Junior year he even gave me special tutoring. The Japan I imagined was full of いじめ (Ijime, bullying), but the reality I experienced there was much different and nicer than I expected. My schoolmates started buying conversation books, and learned how to speak Korean. The first time one of them talked to me in Korean, it was really cool. I even had a crush on him for about a year, and followed him in the swimming team. Since I was too embarrassed to show myself in costume, I always made up excuses not to swim, and just practiced swimming on the ground (laughs). We were really close, but I never had the courage to tell him how I felt.

    Personally I realized pretty late that people had this image of you as an actress whose Korean was lacking because you lived overseas for so long, but now I doubt that, at least a little. Now I think the mix of your speech patterns, intonation and your keen colloquialisms are starting to show some variety, and that's what defines you as an actress.
    Kim: Well, I always had a sense that I forgot a lot of words. I wasn't living in Korea in my adolescence, so it's pretty obvious I didn't know slang, jargon and difficult words. But I kept writing letters to friends, and never had any problems communicating. Thing is, when I started acting and doing auditions, people would always tell me my Korean was weird, my acting was weird... hearing that I started taking acting lessons. I didn't know about it, but getting used to Japanese pronunciation, I acquired this habit of whirling my mouth and rarely opening it wide. I often had my pride squashed, and lost many roles which fit with my image because of dialogue, even though you might not sense it reading my profile, as I kept working non-stop for so long. But on the other hand I was rejected a lot too. All of a sudden I finally decided to give it a go seriously, and worked hard taking my acting lessons.

    You worked with Kim Soo-Mi in 'The Greatest Expectation', Na Moon-Hee in 'S Diary', and Kim Ja-Ok in 'My Lovely Sam-Soon'. Did they ever give you any advice, or did you ever envision yourself resembling them in the future?
    Kim: I worked twice with Na Moon-Hee, and when the 8th Episode of 'My Lovely Sam-Soon' was over she called me. She told me I did really well, and that she always wanted to play that kind of role but she couldn't, yet just seeing me do so well made her happy. Even if senior actors usually treat their juniors well, them calling you is something very rare. I felt so strongly about that I sensed the need to say the same thing to my juniors. I think on our side people are too stingy when it comes to praising fellow actors. It's the same between Netizens and celebrities, and even between fellow actors.

    I think, personally, that more than an extension of your previous roles, Kim Sam-Soon was a new start for you. With films, you're conditioned by the two hours running time, so you focus mostly on your comic talent, or adding your personal touches to the film. But in a TV Drama, through the many colorful situations which emerge during the various episodes, you were able to show your potential abilities in a more effective way. In other words, 'My Lovely Sam-Soon' was a way to broaden your spectrum, show people your many talents. What do you feel about that?
    Kim: Reading the original and the adapted script of 'My Lovely Sam-Soon', I felt this was the kind of TV Drama which you could strongly relate to, which could adapt to any situation and communicate something to all people, like the joys and sorrows of living. At the production meeting, most people asked me why I didn't try to change my image and kept doing similar roles, and back then I just said 'watch the show, and then talk.' I don't know why people always think of transformations as something so important. Sure, I know many of my roles were in the same genre, but without that the opportunity to star in this Drama would have never come, and I would have never been able to act the role that way. Acting might be like that, but I gained a lot from this project personally. I was thanked by many people for giving them courage, and I think I matured thanks to it too.

    I still can't rewatch the show, because the feeling is still too strong, but the important thing is that, through this show, I was able to show the kind of sincerity and feeling I was never able to in the past. For example, I used to think about a lot of ways of approaching crying scenes in the past, but I didn't need that even once for 'Sam-Soon'. Even without looking at the script, I could go on, and I'd still be Kim Sam-Soon. Through this character, I was able to let a lot of things buried within me emerge. I don't know if people will relate to it, but when there was a scene that had Sam-Soon in an angry mood, I was really angry. And when we shot the scenes of her 'talking' again with her dead father, I couldn't sleep later. Overseas promotion is just starting, so it looks like that feeling will linger on for quite a while. Maybe this show will have a strong effect on my career. Since many people watched it, even if I don't do a complete u-turn in the future, people might still be able to feel a certain change. But that's just a process you go through, so you can even think of closing your eyes and covering your ears, going straight towards your goal.

    Wow, she looks very pretty in all those pictures. Slim or chubby she does look strong and beautiful.

    Wow She's thirty-one years old. I know Hyun Bin is around my age range so that still makes her and Hyun Bin as co-stars of Kim Sam Soon to be a greater age difference.
    I just love how you Captivate My Mind

    Kim Sun Ah is so adorable, she may not be pretty like other actresses but there is something about her that still shines. I think she looks great even if she is a little chubby.
