Sohn Ye-jin and Kim Gab-soo as father-daughter pair
by girlfriday
Looks like Sohn Ye-jin (Chilling Romance, Personal Taste) will be sticking to the big screen for a while. She’s announced that her next project will be the suspense film Accomplice, where she’ll be playing daughter to veteran actor Kim Gab-soo (Just Like Today). It’s no ordinary happy family though, because the heroine begins to suspect that her father is a murderer, which kinda tends to put a damper on the daddy-daughter picnics.
It’s being called the sequel to 2007’s His Voice, starring Kim Nam-joo and Seol Kyung-gu, and is described as a battle of wits between father and daughter. Yeah, I’d say. I’m already creeped out just thinking about it. I hope they’re not locked in a house together. I already can’t watch it if I know they’re locked in a house together. And if that house is in the woods? Forget about it.
To make it even creepier, she suspects that Dad is kidnapping children, and I really don’t want to know where that leads. Don’t open any cellar doors! Is it a bad sign if I’m reading the plot description through my fingers? What’s great is that Kim Gab-soo, despite playing mostly the nice dad on tv, can also turn on a dime and be scary and mysterious if the role calls for it, so I can picture this being an effective pair. The CJ Entertainment film is being produced by the original director of His Voice, and directed by that film’s assistant director, Gook Dong-seok. This will be his feature debut.
Accomplice starts shooting in May and plans to release later this year.

I still can't believe the girl on the picture is Son Ye-jin. The first time I saw her was on Personal Taste. And OMG she looks so bad in that drama! Absolute turn off. But then she appeared on Running Man and I was seriously confused... How could this Son Ye-jin be the same Son Ye-jin from Personal Taste? LOL.

Yes, they uglified her to the max in PT!! Unfortunately, it's the common trope in K-dramas!! :/

I loved her in Personal Taste... she was perfect as KaeIn ... and her looks didn't affect me... there are lots of actors who look good or bad depending on the character or stylist... KaeIn was one of them .. I loved her as the ultimate oddball even Nodame Cantabile is normal near her

She can never look bad to me so I really don't get how anyone can say she's ugly. She's just so pretty even if they let her wear those frumpy clothes in PT or gave her that haircut in Alone in Love. She's my #1 pick as the most beautiful Korean actress. Beauty and talent. Love her.

SYJ is pretty, but she's one of those faces that looks a bit "washed out" w/o a little makeup (granted, most females are like this, aside from a few).
As for KGS - have only seen him in sageuks and ("Joseon X-Files", "Sea God") - and he just has this awesome way of playing mysterious characters.
Should be a great pairing.

I saw her first in A Moment to Remember and totally in awe of her beauty ;and I could understand that she has been purposely made to look shabby and unattractive in Personal Taste . I was so upset that many Lee Min Ho fangirls were calling her ugly in PT when actually she is gorgeous

Ohh, really?? I didn't know that. I still haven't watch that drama "Alone in Love" yet, of course. I thought they both act like "father-daughter" roles for the first-time, but I was wrong about that. :)

I second this! Alone in Love was amazing - SYJ and Gam Woosung were fabulous in it. My top 3 dramas of all time.
But yeah it isn't for everyone - its not your bubblegum pop trendy romcoms nor your typical angsty evil mother-in-law makjang melos... Its a "quiet" drama - different - and with a beautiful storyline. Go for it!
Well back on topic. This movie sounds interesting, will watch when it comes out!

I still remember that one phone conversation early in the series when he was like "don't give her any gifts!."
Still makes me laugh thinking about it.

Usually I wouldn't be interested in this, but how could I pass up a film with Kim Gab-Soo and Sohn Ye-Jin together? I actually haven't seen any of his nice dad roles, but I love it when he plays mysterious and/or ambiguous roles.

He is a nice dad in Get Karl! Oh Soo Jung. And a pretty nice guy in The World That They Live In. Both are regretfully the only two projects I've seen him in, but I love this guy! He has a lot of charisma and charm. I wish he was my uncle or something, haha.
I haven't seen anything with Son Ye-jin yet, but seriously, the woman looks different in every photo I see of her! Sometimes she and Han Ga In look really similar, but she has always reminded me of a Korean Eva Green.

Just from what I've seen in his darker roles, I've already decided the man can do everything. I know him from all the revenge dramas I watch (Time Between Dog and Wolf; Resurrection, a.k.a. Rebirth). You're right, he's a very magnetic actor.
Sohn Ye-jin is easily my favorite Korean actress. I have yet to see a bad performance from her. Like KGS, I think she could do anything.

And the best stepfather ever in Cinderella's Sister. I first saw him as a villain in the Time Between Dog and Wolf, so it was a shocker to see him be so, so nice and loving.

Well, if it's not too scary I'd be excited. Horror is a weird thing for me. I want to know what happens, and it sounds interesting(ish), but I don't want to watch it 'cause it's probably uber scary...oh well. Perhaps I will be distracted by the subs when I'm watching it? Ahahaha...?

well, from what javabeans says, it does seem predictable,
but then I thought about the title--Accomplice. Did she somehow, indirectly, help her father commit murder without knowing?

I always get Son Ye Jin mixed up with Han Ji Min. Love them both anyway.
Kim Gab soo can do anything well, and he is a scene stealer. He is really good as a malevolent character. He can be creepy and nice.
Sounds like a great combo.Love to be scared watching creepy thrillers especially at night. :o

Son Ye Jin is the most beautiful actress in Korea but the drama Personal Taste made her look clumsy. Still, she was beautiful in that drama if you look carefully. I love her and look forward to watch move movies and drama of her.

Wow! She's actually young-looking and pretty! Unfortunately, the only drama I've seen her in was Personal Taste and I thought it was a unfair pairing with hottie Lee Min Ho...but I guess she is pretty herself, too!

The show, as well as her acting, did a reasonable job in making her seem extremely average. Not quite on the level with Yun Eun-Hye in Coffee Prince, but /shrug.

haven't really watched most of Personal Taste, but it amuses me that 1st-time watchers of Son Ye-jin there really thought she's this average-old/ugly looking actress. My oh my! that just shows how good she is coz contrary to that, she has been known for how many years now as one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED korean actresses.
she IS the most beautiful for me since seeing summer scent (don't care much bout the drama but watched it just to SEE her..and i am 100% leedongwook/joinsung-lover GIRL!) must be the smiling eyes. & for me she looks different from other korean celebrities.
and the only reason i'm commenting is to fangirl over her!hehe coz she looks SOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL in that SIMPLE PIC ABOVE! LOVE HER! MY NO. 1 GIRL-CRUSH!

I love Cinderella's Sister's papa, okay, I know the last leg of that show was a total bomb but when the dad was alive he sure made me tear up so many times with his wisdom and open arms.
I can't imagine him as a McCreepy.
I love SYJ in every film she's been in so far, not so in dramas. She needs to calibrate this in detail so I one day can enjoy her future dramas as well.

I also love Kim Gabsoo, he's funny.
