dont know, but watching the lates ep, I was reminded of an estonian actor Aare Laanemets (he died real young though) he played one of our famous, kinda delinquent character in movied Spring and Summer. yeah, thats what they were called. in Spring he was teasing this girl who had a sort of boyfriend, or several (!!!) and in Summer, she is a grown woman and teases him by getting him charmed up and then gets SORT OF engaged to another guy she doesnt actually like. actually she is just teasing that guy too. well the characters name , the guy, is Joosep Toots and he has a moustache and curly hair, and the two guys fight over the woman and try to size up one another in more ways than one: physically, economically, culturally, reputation-wise... so if you say "fight" I am reminded of a certain fight where Joosep (Joseph) is kinda slipping to the losing side but then he pokes the other with the end of a cigarette. but they both fall into nettles...

i read that article too. I just saw The Face reader movie and I have soooooo many questions....

X---Movie spoilers here----X

Curiously, the young prince in that movie was not referred to as Prince Gwanghae. Were the subs right? If the subs were right, I don't think he was ever referred to with any particular name except "the King" but if he is the supposed Gwanghae prince character from which this King's Face drama is taking off, i'm curious why in the acclaimed plagiarized movie, he was dearly loved by his father and in this drama the king is more of a rival. But is that young prince the supposed "gwanghae" character? In the movie, the prince's rival was more the uncle than the father. Also, the face reader in the movie is rather old as opposed to the cast face reader (seo yeong joon?) for the drama. Is this drama really based on that film? Argh these saeguk thingabobs are confusing me. The plot description doesn't seem to add up too. I once read that Jupiter was up an against KBS because releasing The King's Face would effectively disallow them to release a drama of the same physiognomy theme in the same year and that this whole plagiarism lawsuit sprung from the fact that Jupiter and KBS couldn't come around an agreement for a legitimate drama spinoff from the movie.... but it seems to me that the so-called "physiognomy" theme was the one major theme that was "copied" or errr, was "inspired from" but it looks as if the content isn't that same all. Am I reading this correctly? I'm really not an expert on anything fiction, and certainly not about copyrights and legal stuff but is that sort of stuff still plagiarism? Or is this some angsty after-plot for a business deal gone wrong? If so, KBS is wicked for dropping the deal with Jupiter but if the content is all different, wouldn't the court ruling possibly be for KBS than Jupiter? Is that why they're sooo confident in signing in on all the actors? Seriously, what are the borderlines on plagiarism? Any copyright lawyers out there? I'd love to be enlightened...I really am confused. I feel like I should read up on the real Gwanghae character in history too just to catch up on all these saeguk themes and what-nots :(
