Nae Morisogae Chiugae" (A Moment to Remember), one of the latest tear-jerkers playing nationwide, a 27-year-old young woman named Su-jin is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) after marrying a carpenter who works for her father’s company.
Starring the popular and attractive Son Ye-jin as the young woman and the equally popular Jeong Woo-sung as the carpenter, the film is built on the premise that it is possible for someone so young to become stricken with an "old person’s disease" like AD.
Familial Alzheimer’s is extremely rare and may occur among those aged 30-60 years. But, as the name implies, it is hereditary. And although the youngest documented case was 28 years old, for Son Ye-jin’s character in "A Moment to Remember" to have come down with this form of dementia at the tender age of 27 is about as likely as her CEO father allowing her to marry a carpenter.
While both late-onset and familial AD are progressive illnesses that may last for up to 20 years or so, slowly developing from simple forgetfulness and mild depression, to full-blown loss of recognition and almost complete dependence on others for all daily tasks, familial AD, may also progress very quickly, with sufferers dying within a year. So it looks like Su-jin may just be one of the unluckiest people in the world.

What I Think:
By now, you all know that I love Son Ye Jin so much, she’s just so pretty and so angelic can’t help but like her…so I checked this movie out. I love what Chul-su told Su-jin in the beginning, “ When the memory’s gone, the soul’s gone too.”
This movie is actually a refreshing change because in this movie the girl goes out to pursue the guy she likes, she visits him in his work site (he is a foreman) and stuff. Unlike other romantic movies I have seen, the guy usually has the hard chasing the girl he likes; and you can’t figure out if they are already going out, you just see them holding hands and stuff. Su-jin and Chul-su kiss, hold hands, laugh and hug all the time. I love all the scenes of the 2 of thm together alone at home! J They’re so sweet.
My fave scenes:
1. All the scenes where Kim Su-jin is chasing Chul-su! Hilarious and so romantic!
2. Su-jin drinks the shot that Chul-su gave her, with soju dripping down her neck, and wetting her lips…Chul-su just looked at her and kissed her! Ahhhhh!!! JJJ That scene was hottttt!
3. Chul-su does his famous card trick, then Su-jin picks the wrong card, he says “pay up!” then she’d get some make-believe money from her pocket, then he says no… then she kisses him! That was the payment he wanted hahah!
4. The wedding! Son Ye Jin would really make a beautiful wife for some lucky guy someday! She is so pretty!
5. Su-jin asks Chul-su if he wants a baby, they where hugging in the sofa. What they said to each other made me cry a loottttttt! Wahhhh!
Su-jin said “Do it for me.”
He said “What?”
Su-jin: “That.”
Chul-su: “ You mean the “in-and-out thing?” *with a naughty smile on his face*
Su-jin: “ The card trick…”OHHHHH!
6. When Chul-su found out she has Alzheimer’s disease and they had a talk in the baseball batting range. I cried a bucket of tears there!
7. Chul-su posted post-its for Su-jin in every place in their house so she won’t forget things.
8. Su-jin’s letter for Chul-su she said “I love you, I love you, I love only you. I remember only you. I thank god everyday for giving you into my life. You are heaven’s greatest blessing to me.”

Name: Jerome
Job stints: VJ for MNET, segment host for showbiz extra (extra plus)
Series: The Lawyers
MVs: Did some mvs for mc mong and drunken tiger (I am not so sure, but he ore a lack jacket there, skinhead and he looks absolutely hot!)
Some news on him:
Chung Yeo-won plays Hee-jin in the drama My Lovely Samsoon
Having Korean subtitles pop up during popular television dramas has become an ordinary occurrence these days. Except these are not imported American dramas on cable channels, but rather the latest Korean ones on the nation¡¦s major networks.
In the MBC drama `”Law & Love” which started to air last Monday, new actor Jerome To speaks fluent English. The actor plays Tommy, a Korean residing in the NY, United States. In order to help his lifetime benefactor and lawyer Yoon Sok-ki, he does whatever he can do, legal or otherwise.
English with Korean subtitles is already a part of another MBC drama, the wildly popular ``My Lovely Samsoon,¡¦¡¦ where the story of Henry Kim, a Korean-American doctor who can¡¦t speak Korean, and his patient Hee-jin has been an ongoing subplot since the drama¡¦s debut.
In SBS¡¦ ``Fashion 70s,¡¦¡¦ about the revival of the Korean fashion industry in 1970s, English is spoken in the many scenes in which foreign designers instruct design techniques to designers in Korea. Ju Jin-mo plays the drama¡¦s main character, who frequently speaks in English as the president¡¦s assistant and elite information agent. Lee Hye-young, playing a famous fashion designer, also uses English while holding meetings with foreign designers.
In the early part of the drama, fund manager-turned-actor Kim Joon-sung had a small role as a military interpreter during the Korean War.
``Although Kim¡¦s role in the drama was not that major, he contributed much to the drama not only through acting but also his English skills, as he also proof-read English lines of actors,¡¦¡¦ said Lee Jae-kyu, producer of ``Fashion 70s.
Other recent dramas with English-speaking characters include SBS¡¦ `”Bad Wife” in which Nam Eun-mi uses English to show off her intellect over a contract worker; MBC¡¦s ``The Sad Love Story,¡¦¡¦ in which Lee Kon-woo, a son of a chaebol family who studies abroad; and SBS¡¦ ``Love Story in Harvard,¡¦¡¦ a love story between ambitious Korean students who study at the prestigious American university. The dramas ended in May, March, and January, respectively.
Drunken Tiger's DJ Shine Opens Club Belly
And you thought the only cool place to go clubbing was the Hongdae district in western Seoul. Well, there's news for those out there looking for something other than what's offered in the boy-band and bubble gum pop saturated music scene, as a new hip hop joint opened its doors last Friday night in Apkujong-dong.
The launching party was set to start at 12:30 a.m. but the line started to snake up with hard core clubbers hours before and by midnight the party at the underground club was already in full swing.
Outside, local cable music channel M.Net's wacky and not to mention super-hyper VJ Dr. NO was present jumping all over the place greeting and interviewing celebrity guest list that included names like singers Ku Joon-yup and Sim Tae-yoon, M.Net VJ Jerome, actor Kim Dong-hyun (brother of actress Kim Hye-su), rappers Sean2Slow and Dynamic Duo and the person that made the night possible Drunken Tiger's very own DJ Shine.
Very much aware of the lack of venues for hip hop artists to perform DJ Shine, who the other half of his act Tiger JK, is known to show up wherever and whenever their music is called for.
Opening his own club seemed only natural. ``I wanted to make a friendly environment where people come for the love of music,'' DJ Shine said when The Korea Times caught up with him before the party.
DJ Shine says that he is in not for the money or the fame but in it for one sole purpose _ to spread the love of music. That, the clubbers can take his word for, as the club itself is modestly decorated, not even the size of a small theater and DJ Shine is doing pretty much all the PR himself.
``I'm doing this for what it (music) stands for and fortunately my friends were willing to help all for free. Dynamic Duo's up tonight, Bobby Kim tomorrow and Yang Dong-kun next week, they're all doing it because they all believe in the cause,'' he said.
And as Club Belly's very first guest DJ Shine's buddies _ Dynamic Duo, a hip hop act that started in the underground Hongdae scene but has been lucky enough to garner commercial success upon overground debut, took the stage and fired up the party with latest hit ``Taxi Driver'' and ``Chinjja'' from when the two were part of the now disbanded CB Mass.
``The scene's got potential. But it's still very enclosed you see. For music to go places and bigger better things to pop up onto the scene we got cultivate the many different styles and genres, you know?'' DJ Shine said. ``Through the media is one way but having places like this open is also very important, which is why I'm here tonight,'' he added and also mentioned that a club of the like to open in the Kangnam Station area is currently in the works.
So don't be caught at home on Friday nights warming your sheets, get out there and be part of it. A 10,000-won cover charge will get you in and a free drink. For more information visit www.club-belly.com.

Music Playing in the Background: Just Be My Love- Shinhwa
Okay guys, I am posting this up because I was shocked when I saw Lee Don Gunfs casted in this series! gThe Palaceh is such wonderful mangga comic, and months ago; I thought Jo In Sung was casted in it already. In the popcornfor2 profile of Jo In Sung, The Palace as already listed in his profile, so I thought he was really doing the series with Moon Geun Young. Shmuck I really wanted to see how JIS and MGY would do together. This is a storyline for rather light-hearted (wacky to a point) and young couple, so JIS and MGY is a good one. But then ago LDG was already casted in gThe Palaceh so be it.
Oh I as thinking too if this might be the series where JIS, LDG and Kim Tae Hee will be working together? I donft know, KTH was never mentioned so I guess not. Theyfd all three be together in a different one, I reckon.
So Lee Dong Gun will be Prince, they need to find that young wife-to-be. Moon Geun Young would look so young standing next to LDG, coz Ajushi looks older than his age, and acts older than his age too, so I donft knowhow MGY would fairc.find the girl! Aishhhh!! My ramblingscam I driving you nuts already?
Read this news peepsc Aresoh?

Music Playing in the Background: Fine Gentlemen- YG Family
"Il Mare" is the name of a seafront house where two lovers reside in at two different times. Sung-hyun in 1997 receives a strange letter one day, reminding him to be careful of the snowstorm in 1998. But it is posted in the year 1999. Time travels backward again when Eun-joo sends him a letter of request, asking him to look for her lost cassette recorder at the train station where Sung-hyun finally gets a glimpse of her.
credits to kfccinema.com
What I Think:
I have no expectations whatsoever with this movie. I checked out yesasia, I liked it’s cd Il Mare cd inlay, and Lee Jung Jae looks hot (I think he’s in a new movie with Kwon Sang Woo) and people said Jeon Ji Yeon was different in this one, you know you get to a point where you see JJY acting tough all the time, it seems that’s the only role she can do…to tell you the truth I am a bit tired of watching JJY kicking butts, so I thought okay let’s try “Il Mare.” AND I LOVED IT!
Must-watch scenes:
J The intro where they showed shots of “Il Mare” house. The scene was breathtaking. It was just so beautiful.Sung-hyung (Lee Jung-jae) named the house Il Mare which means sea.
J The first time Sung-hyung and Cola, the dog met. That dog is just sooooooo adorable! That dog just follows him around…awwww so cute!
J The mailbox scene where both of them realized that the main reason why they get their dates mixed up is because of the mailbox! The cinematography was so nice here, the shots just turns around JJY and LJJ—ahh! So beautiful! Both of them are so in love with each other and yet they just cannot seem to meet.
J Where they “met” at the train station! Omg that was wonderful! I thought they cannot see each other or something! Hahah! Lee Jung-jae is quite a looker too I must say.
J The ending! I was thinking both of them have been through so much already, never being able to meet, getting car accidents… it is just wonderful! Ah the ending I like! Wonderful twist! I thought JJY’s letter didn’t work. I was crying already!
STOP READING!! SOME SPOILER HERE, REALLY YOU SHOULD STOP READIGN HERE AND WATCH THE MOVIE INSTEAD IT WOULD MAKE YOUR VIEWING EVEN MORE EXCITING, I PROMISE:
In the last few minutes of the movie, I just stare at the screen and my tears just literally fall down… I cannot stop it from falling, I was crying when Han Sung-hyung was hit by a car, so Eun-joo hurried to write him a letter and stop him from dying and getting hit. I cried even harder when Eun-joo could do nothing but pray for him to read the letter on time. And I cried even harder when I saw Sung-hyung walking to Eun-joo to help her bring out her things from the house… her letter just got to him on time! After the zooming out of “Il Mare,” the blue seas and the fade to black I just sat there watching the ending credits roll, I didn't want the movie to end.
I am so dopey when it comes to this past-future thingy. I swear to Buddha! Movies where one person lives in the future and the other is in the past kinda storyline just turns me crazy..like “Ditto” (Ha Ji Won, Kim Ha Neul), “Sky of Love” (Ken Zhu and Gigi Leung) and Back to the future; I just don’t get it when they start talking about time. Aishhh!
Thanks to “Il Mare” I now have a new oppa discovery of the week! It is Lee jung-jae! He looks a lot like Lee Hyun-woo (Chief of Attic Cat) but Lee jung-jae is the more handsome version of Lee hyun-woo. Hehehe… With lots of scenes in the movie where just the faces of the two leads are just the main focus of camera shots, it is just soooo right that both of them, Lee Jung-jae and Jeon Ji-yeon are good-looking people! They make viewing more pleasurable.
I have to say the closing credits theme song (both the Korean and the English versions of it) is sooooo good; it brings together all the bits and pieces in the story. That song just makes me cry. We need to find that closing song! I love movies of this kind, with a darn good storyline and an even darn good ending!Oh and I think this is now my favorite Jeon Ji Yeon movie, My Sassy Girl is just second. Just because. J
When I got the summary for “Il Mare” from the credited site, it says “Pusan International Film Festival 1991” I reckon this one was nominated at the said film fest, so this movie is really good.
Rating: 10 Korean Kimchis out of 10
Other Stuff:
Il mare, "A Love Story," is a Korean movie (2000) that is a combination of romance, comedy, suspense and fantasy. It starred Jeon Ji-Hyeon (Sassy Girl; Windstruck) and Lee Jeong-Jae (An Affair; The Last Witness). This masterpiece by Lee Hyeon-Seung is oftentimes compared to the great Japanese hit "Love Letter."
The original Korean title of the movie is "Si Wall Ae" which means "love across time" may give you a hint on the plot: Sung-hyon (Lee Jeong-Jae), living in 1997, receives a letter from the Un-ju (Jeong Ji-Hyeon) who lives in 1999. The two begin their communication across time and gradually, they fall for each other (I cried during some parts of the movie, although I don't know why...).
This intriguing and a bit confusing story will have an American version that would be shown in theaters in the year 2006. It will be starred by Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves, who just recently signed the contract. Moreover, it will be directed by Alejandro Agresti (Valentin), an Argentinian director.
HAPPY 2009!!
