Offical posters for Jackal Is Coming
by javabeans
Posters are out for Jaejoong and Song Ji-hyo’s upcoming action-comedy movie The Jackal Is Coming, which is gearing up with promos now that it’s about a month out from its theatrical release.
The premise of the movie alone is enough to hook my interest—a hitwoman is hired to kidnap a pop star, and complications ensue—and the posters and taglines highlight the comic potential further. For instance, Jaejoong’s poster reads: “Radiant pretty-boy looks, ladykiller, top star Choi Hyun.” He’s sitting on a throne, beckoning to you, wearing what looks like fur legwarmers. Ah, idol fashion. Hyun seems outwardly polite and friendly, but in actuality “a king pain in the ass” (heh) with haughty airs.
Then there’s Song Ji-hyo, striking a Charlie’s Angel pose and wielding a handgun, whose tagline reads: “Taught by Léon, acknowledged by Kill Bill, legendary killer Bong Min-jung.” Something tells me that career winning streak is about to end. Since she’s probably gonna fall in love with the asshole celebrity, can we at least have her kick his butt around a little first? Something tells me he could use some ego smackdowns.
Below that poster is Han Sang-jin’s (Angel’s Temptation, Sons of Sol Pharmacy): “Former FBI, utterly inflexible, secret agent Team Leader Shin.” Oh Dal-soo (The Thieves) stars as Squad Chief Ma: “Rural detective and pervert with animalistic senses.” Which, ha. And Kim Sung-ryung (The Client, Bang-ja Chronicle) is Angela, “The flower boy star’s sponsor.” Omo! So he’s a kept man? HA, that cracks me up.
At bottom are photos from the recent red carpet of the 17th Busan International Film Festival’s opening ceremony, from October 4. Yeah, they’re looking pretty flawless.
The movie opens in November.

I really, really hope that this movie will be a sleeper hit!! For the sake of JYJ <33~~
It broke my heart to see Junsu being so thankful and cheerful even though the National Para Games organizers treated him so disrespectfully. For those of you who don't know, there's an unspoken ban of JYJ members on any music-related broadcast; SM uses its slimy influence to stonewall them. Therefore, SBS did not film Junsu's performance at the National Para Games, even though they filmed all the other groups/artists' performances. Because Junsu's performance wasn't going to be broadcast, he was given second class treatment. The emcees told the audience that ZE:A was the last performance of the night (for the sake of the broadcast), when actually Junsu was the last performance of the night. Many audience members left, thinking that the concert was over. The filming crew started packing up during Junsu's performance and Junsu had to perform in the dark, without a proper introduction/interview. The whole situation was pretty shitty.
Anyways, the success of Jaejoong and Yoochun's dramas was like a big F U to SM. It's still pretty sad though that dramas are the only way JYJ can appear on broadcasts. Hopefully Jaejoong's movie and Yoochun's new drama will also be successful and help them appear on music shows again soon ;^;

Yes, it really did happen T_T
You can read the National Para Games organizers' lame "apology" here: http://www.allkpop.com/2012/10/the-national-para-games-apologizes-to-jyjs-junsu-and-his-fans
It's not really the National Para Games organizers' fault that SBS decided not to film Junsu, but they handled the situation very badly. There was much confusion about Junsu's stage due to their lack of organization. It's just shameful that they treated rookies like ZE:A with more respect than an established veteran like Junsu >:[

I am not a fan 'cause kpop music isn't my thing, but I do like DB5K's songs, and I really like Junsu, he's an incredible artist and such a heart-warming person. I felt like crying when I read thoses articles and what he wrote on his twitter.
I wish JYJ would stop being banned like this. It's sickening to see those companies bullying them, it reveals how frighteningly powerful they are. JYJ fighting!

Definitely have to see this one. Just the picture of Haejoong cracks me up. And while I'm commenting, I am sure I speak for many when I thank all of you for your wonderful recaps. Love your wit and perceptiveness. You provide insight into a culture I knew only from k dramas. And for many series, your recaps are more interesting than the shows themselves. (I skip watching them and just follow drama beans instead).

Know what you mean have so many friends who would rather read dramabeans than watch the drama. I actually have to exercise a lot of restraint to keep from reading a recap before I watch a drama. The coolest part for me is reading the recap the next morning after watching the drama the night before which is what Im doing with this older drama "the last scandal of my life " which is showing on our local channel in Zimbabwe, was super upset because I missed the 1st episode somehow(as you can guess have not yet found a website from which I can access Kdrama from my country )and I immediately started scouring dramabeans to find out if it had ever been recapped and lo and behold javabeans actually did some recaps a few years ago. So even when you miss episodes on tv you can always read the recaps Thank you guys!

I guess the chances of Jae Joong being on Running man to plug the movie with Song Ji Hyo is near impossible, although it will send Running Man's ratings through the roof I think hehehe Esp since their recent numbers slump...
Thanks for the breakdown on the posters javabeans! I feel like watching this movie now! weee... maybe it will be my first korean movie IN the theatre hahaha Makes me feel like I should gather up a troop to go watch and support..

I didn't recognise Jaejoong in the first image!
Bit mixed feeling about the posters: I kind of like the colour scheme they are working with, but some - the second one - are pretty cliché in the poses they are using. Sure, it looks pretty and fun, but I would have preferred a more original take. Some of the others are a little boring.
As for the film - sounds like it might be good fun to watch on a Friday night, but nothing too deep really. I would probably prefer this as a drama - I like my films with substance, but fluff dramas can be a treat!
Song Ji-hyo’s dress at BIFF: just lovely lovely!

Oh I see...well, I'll look up for this one then! As long as it's not 'over acting' or 'lazy acting', I can tolerate the rest...acting is an art where if you don't have it naturally, you should work hard at it...just like all true actors out there. And if JaeJoong is doing that, I'm more than happy to support him!!!There's always a chance to improve...

I saw Jaejoong in Protect the Boss. He did okay, a little stiff but next to the slightly nutso other characters it would hard not to look stiff playing the straight man to the funny farm of PTB. I can't stand the acting of the guy that played Dr. Jin so I couldn't watch any of Jaejoong in that. Park Yoochun is not afraid to look goofy in acting and bless him because I could just eat him up. I do not know about Jaejoong and being goofy or doing comedy but I'm okay to find out. Hard to compare him to Kim Hyun Joong, two different animals. Jaejoong seems to have more physical as an actor, he draws attention when he comes into a scene. KHJ is a very low key, close body movements, self contained, and very much an eyes are the windows of the soul type.
I love the JYJ boys, so talented, so lovely, so fun.

October 10, 2012 at 7:49 PM
He's not bad, just needs more projects to get use to acting. 'Cause I noticed, he always starts out stiff in his projects, once he gets into the role, it becomes better. So he probably needs coaching on how to get into the role at the start. Which probably is why he's only taking supporting role.
I think he's more of a movies actor than a dramas actor though. He himself said he likes acting in movies. Rarely he expressed that he likes acting, he usually dodge it when interviewed, (not surprising since he love singing, and it comes first for him, but currently he's blocked in that industry). However recently, he admits that he wanted to be in another movie and drama soon. I guess he grew to like it after his two recent projects; Dr. Jin and Jackal.

This looks like is should be very interesting. JaeJoong is an amazing actor, so I am looking forward to his portrayal of a snobby Idol.
But I must admit that I am a bit apprehensive as the premise of this drama seems a bit similar to "Spy Myong Wol"... and we all know what a disaster that was.
So forgive me if I with hold judgement till it actually airs. However, I do sincerely hope that it turns out really good.

I so look forward seeing Jaejoong playing a "king pain in the ass"! He's such a sweet person, that I'm it would be hilarious!
I really like Song Jihyo, I've seen her in Frozen Flower and she was a perfect queen, so classy, and with so much emotion showing through her eyes! I can't wait seeing her in that killer role!!!
