Son Yejin returns with “Open City”
by javabeans
In an interview with MyDaily, actress Son Yejin explained the reason behind her yearlong absence from the entertainment scene. She hasn’t appeared in anything following her successful drama turn in Alone in Love last year, and the break wasn’t exactly planned — she’d been preparing over the year for a large-scale film, but in the end the project fizzled. But, looking at the silver lining, she says, “It would’ve been worse if we’d already started filming and had to stop midway.”
She’d been set to star in the film Nak Rang Club, but that was beset with delays when funding kept shrinking; she then filmed Open City with actor Kim Myung Min, which is scheduled to open on January 10. In the film, a detective (Kim Myung Min) pursues a large-scale crime organization, while Son Yejin plays the femme fatale crime boss who works her seduction on him.
It doesn’t really seem like my kind of movie, but I do like both lead actors… Check out the film preview/MV and stills behind the jump…

Is it me or her complexion looks O_O in the SPN pic? Ahh, probably my screen. Anyway, I can't wait to see this movie! I like the both of them, and SYJ's smokey eyes effect :)

I like SYJ. She's a great actress. The movie looks exciting and so I think I'll watch. For some reason, she reminds me of two other great actresses--Kim Hyun Joo and Song Hye Gyo. Those three looks so much alike.

I'm not into these type of movie either. The femme fatale theme has been used so many times it's getting boring. How about a woman who can actually kick some serious ass without having to seduce some one?

Happy New Year Javabeans!!!
I also like the old lady, seems like she's related to KMM and connected to SYJ. Like the plot but i hope it's not a sad ending...
who sang the theme song?

Hello Dramabeans
I have been reading ur blog for a while now and enjoyed it. Thank you for your comments and summaries. By your history of coments on dramas, i believe that you liked dramas with understated humor. Alone in love was one of them for me and i would really like to see your opinion of that drama. ONe of the best i've ever seen.

I got so excited just by seeing KMM ! "Return" a recent moview by KMM was very suspenseful and he did not disappoint and I enjoyed it very much! Can't wait for this one!

I like this movie. It is indeed, not Son Ye Jin's normal style. However, she did a good job. The plot of this movie is reasonably acceptable, no boring parts.
