YEAH.... Finally get to watch a Korean movie in the theatre of KOREA! yesh, since abt 1 yr and half I have been in Korea and yet get to watch a korean movie in the theatre of KOREA?? Yah, reason being I have no confidence to watch and understand the korean movie, no korean movie so far had made me has the urge to watch it in the theatre once its screening..... (bsides GP 506 which I missed when its screening in Korea last early 2008)
So finally this ONE!! THIS MOVIE made me want to go into the theatre to WATCH! of cos having the companion of my friends (who has abt the same standard as my krn). We went to watch this movie a day after our mid-term exam, on 14 Jan 08. A treat I treated myself for having studied for my exams and my up-coming birthday and probably the first and last time watching a korean movie in KOREA.
Why was this movie chosen?? BECAUSE my favourite actor is starring in it! He is non other than JO IN SUNG who had not appeared on the screen (regardless of big or small) for about 2 yrs. So this is much of a anticipation for his LATEST work and the last before he enters the military T-T..... gonna miss him........
Yah back to the movie. This movie Frozen Flower is based on a true story from Goryeo Dynasty Korea, and takes its title from a song of that era which described the sexual relationships between men and women.
It was a great movie with Jo In sung's marvellous acting skills....Its all worth the wait for 2 yrs for his GREAT works! Besides his acting skill, the storyline is quite unique i shld say, luv the clothings and shooting style. A nice movie i should say... Wat's best of all I was asked to show my ID card when i entered the cinema...... (which means I LOOK younger than 18 hahaha!!)
And most of all I am so PROUD of myself, I could understand about 80% of what they are saying in the movie despite the ancient style of talking hahha!! (a pat on my shoulder for the gd work)
Here's the trailer for the movie:
The synopsis:
In the end of Goryeo era politically manipulated by the Yuan Dynasty, the ambitious King of the Goryeo Dynasty organizes Kunryongwe. Hong Lim, the commander of Kunryongwe, captivates the King of Goryeo, and the Queen keeps her eyes on the relationship between Hong Lim and the King with a reluctant view. Meanwhile, the bilateral relation between Goryeo and the Yuan gets worse as Yuan demands to install the cousin of the King in the Crown Prince of Goryeo with ascribing it to no son the King has. The King refuses it resolutely, so the high-ranking officials of Goryeo, who are in submission to Yuan, are discontented with the king. One day, the King gives Hong Lim a covert yet unobjectionable order to sleep with the Queen instead of himself to protect the independence of Goryeo from the Yuan by making a son, the successor to Goryeo throne.
Starring: Jo In Sung, Joo Jin Mo and Song Ji Hyo
My ratings: 8/10
