Such a talented cast. Jung Jae-young is one busy man. If I'm not mistaken this will the 3rd movie for the year.
I love me more indie films and so glad its doing well :). Cant wait to watch it.

I totally love the music in the trailer!

Awww, LSK. I luff him!

i freaking love jung yumi.
and I freaking love hong sang soo.
And I freaking love lee seonkyun.
I LOVE THEM.

on a less fangirly note - the colours in the stills are really quite beautiful. all autumnal and warm.
and man - I want to see this.

And YES - drunk lee seon kyun totally chopping up the articulateness of Jung Yu Mi's advice is HILARIOUS.
heeheehee

this looks great! by any chance, girlfriday (and javabeans), will you guys be writing about how the face reader is doing? i read the only english language review it's gotten (over at modernkoreancinema, and yay jong suk got a mention, despite him not taking up a significant chunk of the screen time!) and am awfully curious about how it's faring, both financially and critically, in SK.

Ya know, I would spell it Sun-hee too. Sunhi just looks weird to me. I wonder why they did that.

I got to see this movie at its North American premiere last week at TIFF. It was sweetly funny and low-key. Nothing really "happened", but there was lots of soju-drinking and "digging". You can see that The Voice was actually drinking the soju and getting drunk by the colour of his face :)

Jung Yumi was so lovable in this. I imagine her to be a lot like this character in real life. Ye Jiwon only had about three lines in this, but I thought she was hilarious. Too bad there was no Q&A session with the director.

A great thrill for me was recognizing the neighbourhood where I stayed when I visited Seoul last summer. In the picture above, The Voice is standing right outside the front of the Hanok that I rented.

Love Hong Sang Soo's work. It's not for everyone though. He's a filmmakers filmmaker, and a film lovers filmmaker. If you hate the french new wave, then Hong Sang Soo is not your guy because his work is SUPER influenced by it. In other words, lots of walking and talking, more walking and talking, then some more walking and talking with the occasional quiet event taking place that you didn't realize was important until the end. Lately, he's been taking the Robert Altman approach and just giving his cast a rough outline of what they should be talking about, and where the conversation should end up, then turning on the camera and letting them improvise. It gives the actor's scenes this fantastic nervous awkwardness that ends up sounding a lot more like a real conversation.

"Lately, he’s been taking the Robert Altman approach and just giving his cast a rough outline of what they should be talking about, and where the conversation should end up, then turning on the camera and letting them improvise."

Wow. That sounds incredibly fun and extremely challenging. But if he's got a troupe of some of the best actors in the industry working for him over and over again (they must enjoy the liberties that come along with Hong Sang-soo), I think it's a risk worth taking.

Maybe he's trying to get his actors to dig deep so that they get to know their inner artists...or something like that. :)

I love Jung Yumi so much I can't wait to see this

That's one heck of a cast!

Thanks for the trailers.

I'll be watching this at the Vancouver International Film Fest in a couple of weeks.

I love Lee Seon Kyun. I will watch this. Mehn.

On a side note: OMG THAT'S THE BANNER I MADE! WEE <3
