Ajusshi attracts 1 million viewers in first week

Won Bin‘s latest project, thriller-action movie Ajusshi (English title: The Man From Nowhere) released last Wednesday and looks poised to become a success. In its first week it beat out Inception (and also Salt, Toy Story 3) to take #1 at the box office with 1 million admittances.

Its first day (Wednesday) recorded 130,000 admittances, and the movie had solid word-of-mouth going for it all weekend, with sold-out screenings in many theaters. The movie centers around a secretive loner (Won Bin) who is drawn out of his reclusiveness when his next-door neighbor, a young girl, is kidnapped by gangsters.

It’s hard to believe that this is Won Bin’s first film as lead actor, but it’s true. (Even in movies where he played a pivotal role, such as Taegukgi and Mother, he wasn’t the main lead.)

Now, when will he come back with a drama series?? I sense that he’s going to be sticking mostly with films now, but one can always hope.

I can't wait to watch this movie! i too, am hoping for a drama project for him...

I mean we see all these 'movie' stars coming back to the small screen (i.e. Jung Woo Sung, Lee Byung Hun..etc)

maybe he will, if the right script comes along! ;)

I went to go see it this week with a friend. The movie was a lot different than I was thinking it was going to be, in that it's mostly just a string of really gruesome fight scenes. Don't get me wrong, Won Bin was awesome, but there wasn't a lot of talking. Or story. Still, it's worth seeing just for the scene where he cuts his hair...just beware if you have a weak stomach.

Gonna get the DVD when it's out though! (hopefully soon!)

And correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Won Bin the lead actor in Friends...?
Remember...?

i think he wants to be a holywood or international star too like jang dong gun, that's why he's concentrating on films =)

My burning question is . . . WHY doesn't he wanna do dramas? :(

My hyperactive imagination tells me maybe he has trouble with showing "love" emotions (as there's always some kind of romance in kdramas).

Like Ren Tsuruga in Skip Beat, hehe. . .
