UHM Tae-woong Joins The Best Moment of Our Lives

UHM Tae-woong will play opposite the female leads MOON So-ri and KIM Jung-eun in the real-life sports drama The Best Moment of Our Lives(Woori Saengae Chwegoui Soongan). The depiction of the Korean national women handball team’s performance at the 2004 Athens Olympics is in the hands of director LIM Soon-rye. UHM declared through a spokesman that director LIM was a main reason to commit himself to the project.



UHM is cast as the new manager of the national handball team. He introduces a tough European scientific training method to drill his team which leads to friction between the players and the coach. UHM’s character was a prodigy athlete who became a star player in Europe. His good looks and his tendency to steal the spotlights with his showmanship also contribute to the love-hate relationship between the coach and players. However, the team went on to challenge the world’s strongest handball nation Denmark at the Olympics in a heroic game which culminated in two extra times to decide the game.



UHM and MOON successfully worked together on last year’s Family Ties (Gajokeu Tansaeng). The critically acclaimed feature by director KIM Tae-yong deconstructs the traditional family in Korean society.



UHM’s double role as twin brothers in the television drama Resurrection (Boohwal) got him noticed as a potential leading man, even though Resurrection failed to reach the general audience because the popular teen television drama Princess Hours (Goong) aired in the same time slot. Resurrection did make UHM a popular star in Japan and his upcoming television drama Devil receives great attention from anticipating Japanese media and fans.

‘우생순’ 100만 돌파 초읽기

입력 : 2008-01-15 12:30:45


[이데일리 SPN 김용운기자] 영화 ‘우리 생애 최고의 순간’(감독 임순례, 제작 MK픽처스)이 85만 관객을 돌파하며 2008년 개봉한 한국 영화 중 첫 번째 100만 돌파 작품의 가능성을 높였다.

15일 제작사 MK픽처스에 따르면 지난 10일 개봉된 ‘우리 생애 최고의 순간’은 14일까지 전국 440여개의 스크린에서 85만4000명을 동원했다. 하루 평균 17만 관객을 끌어 모은 셈이다.

MK픽처스 관계자는 “이번 주중 100만 관객 돌파가 거의 확실시 되고 있는 상황”이라며 “다음 주말이 지나면 200만 관객 동원도 가능할 것으로 예상된다”고 밝혔다.

‘우리 생애 최고의 순간’은 2004년 아테네 올림픽에서 덴마크와의 연장 접전 끝에 아깝게 은메달을 수상한 한국 여자 핸드볼 선수들의 감동실화를 다룬 영화다.

‘세 친구’, ‘와이키키 프라더스’ 등의 영화로 작품성을 인정받은 임순례 감독이 메가폰을 잡았고 김정은, 문소리, 김지영, 조은지, 엄태웅 등 연기력을 인정받은 배우들이 출연해 호연을 펼쳤다.

===========================
the gist:

"BMOL Countdown to 1Million Mark"
MK Picture, the producer of BMOL, confidently forecast that the movie BMOL will soon hit the 1M mark and by next week the movie will hit 2M mark, as it continues to attract more audience.

this will be the first Korean movie for 2008 which will break the 1M mark.

The Korea Herald 2008.01.16
[MOVIE REVIEW]Handball flick headed to achieve 1 million mark


[photo=spnedaily]

"Forever the Moment," directed by Lim Soon-rye, has rolled to victory at the box office, striking a positive note for Korean films ahead of the crucial lunar New Year holiday season.

The film, based on the true story of the Korean women`s handball team which competed in the 2004 Athens Olympics, is gaining momentum in ticket sales, reflecting its appeal to local moviegoers as a rare sports drama.

Released on Jan. 10, "Forever the Moment" has sold 854,000 tickets as of Monday, according to its production house, MK Pictures. If the current trend continues, the film is expected to break the 1 million mark as early as today.

The sports film`s strong performance comes amid lingering skepticism about the Korean film industry`s declining competitiveness. Latest statistics show that the overall number of moviegoers declined, local filmmakers lost ground and Hollywood blockbusters flexed stronger muscles last year.

The movie`s strength comes from Lee, an award-winning female director known for her sophisticated storytelling, as well as from a star-studded cast including Moon So-ri and Kim Jung-eun.

Notably, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism is pitching in to promote the film. On Friday, Culture Minister Kim Jong-min, and other ranking officials attended a special screening of the film at a theater in Myeongdong, downtown Seoul, along with other sports-related figures including Kim Jong-ha, president of the Korea Sports Council, and Jung Hyung-kyun, vice president of the Korea Handball Federation.

The film features the Korean squad which grabbed the silver medal in Athens, overcoming all obstacles, including public indifference to handball. The team eventually lost to Denmark in the final game but they did not go down easily. They held on for 80 minutes until the final game, with two periods of extra time.

The Korean team lost in a penalty shootout following a 34-34 tie, a heartbreaking loss, but loudly and passionately applauded by spectators, reflecting the competitors` unwavering spirit and teamwork. "Forever the Moment" depicts the dramatic moments realistically, with celebrity actresses showing a decent level of handball skill honed during an intensive three-month training period.

In a country where handball is regarded as an unpopular sport, the Korean women players have been putting in enormous amounts of time and energy to practice, and the film is said to steer some public attention to the poor conditions facing Korean handball players.

Meanwhile, a host of Korean films are expected to be released in the following weeks, ahead of the lunar New Year season, which is widely recognized as the crucial period for local filmmakers to secure revenues in an increasingly intensifying battle against Hollywood blockbusters.

Movie captures Athens Olympics handball drama


A still from Yim Soon-rae’s film, “Forever the Moment.”
From left to right, Moon So-ri, Kim Jung-eun and Kim Jee-young. [JoongAng Ilbo]

Mee-suk (Moon So-ri), a 34-year-old veteran handball player, wins a semi-professional handball tournament, but the same day she hears her team’s going to disband.
That’s bad enough, but it’s nothing compared to four years ago when she won a gold medal at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992.
When Mee-suk came back home proudly wearing her Olympic gold, the rest of the country seemed indifferent.
Handball had not captured the imagination of the country.
Mee-suk, starring in Yim Soon-rae’s film, “Forever the Moment,” which was released last Thursday, suffers even more setbacks. Her husband (Park Won-sang), a former handball player, runs away from debts brought on by a failed business, and Mee-suk starts working at a mall as a shop assistant.
Mee-suk’s life takes a turn when Hye-kyung (Kim Jung-eun) takes over as the newly appointed national handball coach for the 2004 Athens Olympics.
Hye-kyung persuades Mee-suk to come out of her retirement from the game and join the national team. Mee-suk agrees, only to find more tension when Hye-kyung gets ousted as coach. The younger team members dislike her coaching style.
Hye-kyung is replaced by Seung-pil (Eom Tae-woong), her ex-boyfriend.
Forever the Moment is based on the true story of the phenomenal story behind Korea’s women’s handball team.
After the indifference to their gold in 1992 in Barcelona, the entire nation was transfixed when the team took on Denmark in the 2004 final in Athens.
The game went down to a penalty shootout and the Danes held their nerve to win a famous victory.
According to the Korea Film Commission, 558,213 people have seen the film as of Monday, making it the most popular film in Korea right now. What makes for compulsive sports viewing also makes for compelling cinematic drama, it seems.
In 2004, most of the players were veterans in their early 30s. They were called the “ajumma squad,” or the housewife squad.
Despite the gold in Barcelona, the Korean team was pretty much the underdog. There were only five semi-professional women’s handball teams in Korea back then, and players made just 20,000 won ($21.34) a day. The team even had to enlist retired players since there weren’t enough players for the Olympics.
On the other hand, their rivals, Denmark, had 1,035 semi-professional teams.
To make the story more authentic, the four lead actors ― Moon, Kim Jung-eun, Kim Jee-young and Cho Eun-ji (the goalkeeper) ― undertook hardcore training.
They started last March, training at the Taereung Training Center and Helleniko Stadium in Athens, Greece.
They practiced for three months, four days a week, seven to eight hours a day. They began with basic physical training and graduated to dribbling, passing and shooting.
They even practiced difficult set plays.
One of Denmark’s players even appears in the film, and when the Danes visited Korea last June to play at an international semi-professional tournament, they helped in the filming at the Samsan World Gymnasium in Incheon.
“The film distinguishes itself from other sports dramas by bringing out the human story,” Yim pointed out.
“Conventional sports-related films usually focus more on the dynamics that games provide,” he said.
As coach, Eom also had to research his role thoroughly.
“I constantly asked [the real] Coach Lim for advice,” Eom wrote in the film’s press release.
“We [the crew and actors] went to many handball games so we could understand how the game works and how to move properly on the court,” Eom said.
Reality was intensified by the involvement of two genuine commentators ― KBS announcer Choi Seung-don and Coach Kang Jae-won.
During the 2004 finals, Choi and Kang said, “It’s a heroic battle between David and Goliath.” That struggle is captured in the film.

S. Korea's Olympic handball players rallied by hit movie about their athletic struggles

By Sam Kim

SEOUL, Jan. 16 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's Olympic handball players got a big boost this week when they attended a screening of a popular movie based on the performance of a 2004 Athens Olympic women's squad, amid encouraging remarks by top actors who starred in it.


Moon So-ry, a top actress who plays a comeback Olympic handball medalist
in the film, "Forever the Moment," throws the ball
at a gymnasium in Andong, Gyeongsang Province.

South Korean men's and women's teams were deeply demoralized and frustrated last year when they failed to win berths to the Beijing Olympics during the Asian qualifying rounds that were tainted by biased officiating.

The Asian Handball Federation-organized qualifiers were declared invalid in December by the higher International Handball Federation, which last week rescheduled the matches for Jan. 25-31 in Japan.

Tuesday's complimentary screening of "Forever the Moment," sponsored by South Korea's sports governing body, was attended by scores of handball players and other Olympic athletes at a theater in Seoul.

"This was a great time to heal our wounds and step up our resolve ahead of the rematches," said Kang Il-gu, 31, captain of the men's team. "The movie was touching and exciting."

The flick revolves around South Korea's 2004 Athens Olympic women's team, which came short of beating Denmark and winning a gold medal despite a grueling series of overtime plays.

The squad -- made of many formerly retired players in their 30s -- finished second, but their dramatic and unrelenting performance moved the hearts of many sports fans around the world, prompting media to hail the match as one of the most exciting Olympic moments in the year.


A South Korean handball player throws the ball past a Danish player at a cup match held in her country in 2005.

Released last week and rated for a general audience, the rare handball movie sold more than 520,000 tickets as of Saturday, topping the box office and easily rolling over Hollywood competitors.

"Starring in the movie was a great opportunity for me to understand the challenges facing handball athletes and develop tremendous respect for them," said Moon So-ry, who plays a comeback Olympic gold medalist in the film.

"You have taught us so much," the 34-year-old actress told the players before the movie started.

"Our handball players have touched the hearts of not only Koreans but the world," said Uhm Tae-woong, who plays a male coach in the two-hour flick. "Now, go win their hearts again at the Beijing Olympics."
Players expressed their gratitude by applauding the actors and the movie.

"They really helped us gain more confidence, and I have a good feeling that we'll claim our Olympic berths in next week's rematches," said Yoon Kyung-min, a 29-year-old male player.

Despite the growing support for the Olympic squads, handball experts say South Korea's domestic handball league continues to suffer from low popularity.

The country's largest nationwide competition began Tuesday in the city of Andong, Gyeongsang Province, but reportedly attracted only about 200 spectators despite free admission and a host of prizes.

"I had high hopes because our pain and efforts during the Asian qualifiers were largely publicized. But our popularity at home appears the same," said Chung Hyung-kyun, a senior official at the Korea Handball Federation.

"I'm not disappointed yet. Who would've thought a movie about us would be made?" said Jeong Su-young, a 24-year-old handball athlete. "We'll play harder in the Olympics, and we'll eventually win support at home."

'Handball' scores top spot in Korea
Yim film based on women's Olympic team

By DARCY PAQUET

SEOUL -- Korean cinema has produced its first hit of 2008 in "Women's Team Handball," a sports pic from femme helmer Yim Soon-rye.

Based on the story of the Korean team that competed in the 2004 Athens Olympics, pic bowed at No. 1, earning $5.3 million in its opening weekend thanks to strong word of mouth. With its release expanding from 410 to 440 prints over the weekend, new distributor Sidus is predicting a lengthy run.

"Handball" is produced by MK Pictures, which last year transferred ownership to a consortium headed by regional broadcaster Kangwon TV. With MK having shuttered its international sales division, pic is repped internationally by Hong Kong-based Golden Network.

Hefty box office returns are a change of pace for director Yim, a favorite among local critics for arthouse works "Three Friends" (1996) and "Waikiki Brothers" (2001). Moon So-ri and Kim Jung-eun headline the ensemble cast.

Performing almost as well was urban pickpocketing drama "Open City" with $3.8 million on 358 screens to take the No. 2 slot. Featuring Son Ye-jin in her first turn as a femme fatale, pic is released by CJ Entertainment.

Hollywood films dominate the rest of the chart, with "The Golden Compass" taking a hefty $20.7 million in four weeks and "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" passing the $12 million mark.

文素丽：恐怕十年后也不会出现这么好的电影

韩联社首尔1月3日电 影视明星文素丽从电影《我们人生中最辉煌的瞬间》（导演：林顺礼，制作：MK Pictures）的企划阶段开始便对该作品产生兴趣，而听到导演是林顺礼后更是下定了决心。但由于制作过程进展缓慢，不得不等待很长一段时间，为此文素丽还推掉了很多片约。

即将于10日上映的《我们人生中最辉煌的瞬间》是以在2004年的雅典奥运会上夺得银牌的女子手球队为题材的电影。由于手球不像棒球或足球等体育项目受关注，且最终只获得了银牌，影片的题材没有引起投资商的兴趣，因此制作过程非常艰难。

但在试映会结束后，该片获得了不错的评价。影片带给人们感动和乐趣，林顺礼导演的功力和坚定意志在这部作品中得到了充分体现，文素丽、金贞恩等演员付出的努力也使影片更加完美。

文素丽饰演的美淑是带领剧情发展的核心人物。她是球龄达12年的韩国最优秀的手球选手，但因丈夫事业失败而不得不肩负家庭重担。面对残酷而艰难的现实，她仍然以老队员的身份归队，以坚强的精神和爱心鼓励队友。

文素丽说，电影最大的优点就是所有人物都充满活力，就连笑容也各有特色。

她还说，在拍摄投入最后一球的场面时，甚至忘记了摄像机的位置，完全投入到角色中，并以剧中美淑的心情激动地流下了眼泪。相信观众们也能从影片中感受到真正的感动。（完）

金正恩憑《我們人生中最精彩的瞬間》迎來第二春

韓聯社首爾1月6日電 由金正恩、文素利主演的影片《我們人生中最精彩的瞬間》（導演：林順禮）即將公映。金正恩原先非常緊張，但首映式後觀眾反響熱烈，金正恩也重新找回了自信。

對于金正恩來說，《精彩瞬間》是她出演影片《智齒》後的又一次挑戰。此前，金正恩出演的影片《家族榮譽》和電視劇《巴黎戀人》都屬于商業片，而她2005年在出演鄭智宇導演的《智齒》時，隱隱透露出加深某種深度的欲望。因此，林順禮導演的影片《精彩瞬間》對金正恩來說具有非常重要的意義。

金正恩1996年通過MBC公開招聘進入演藝界，10年後成為一線演員。進入三十歲年齡段的她說“現在進入了演藝事業第二春”。

在《精彩瞬間》中，金正恩飾演女子手球隊代理主教練金慧京。曾是奧運會女子手球隊冠軍成員的金慧京一直擔任日本一家職業手球隊的主教練，但她聽到祖國的召喚後義無反顧地回到祖國。

不管是擔任教練還是當運動員，金慧京都愛大喊大叫，因此天生柔聲柔氣的金正恩為了演好這一角色不得不從發音開始學起。

金正恩就林順禮導演的影片特點表示：“雖然掉眼淚，但臉上卻掛著笑臉，這才是生活的真實寫照，而林順禮導演很善于是引出這種感情。”

“生活並不是總是悲傷，或者總是開心。林順禮導演不會事先說，從現在開始拍笑戲或哭戲，他會很自然的引出演員的情感。”

演員金正恩正在不斷蛻變。金正恩說：“如果只向觀眾表現出我的優點，在觀眾感到厭倦前，我自己就會感到厭倦。”

讓我們拭目以待金正恩的第二春。（完）

What’s more encouraging is that the film is winning rave reviews from all age groups, from the teens to the over-40 set.

Currently running on 410 screens nationwide, “Forever the Moment” received high marks even from the handball players whose lives the film was based on. The members of the 2000 Olympic handball team were invited to a special showing and they were all reportedly moved to tears by the realistic depiction of the games. Ahead of this year’s Olympic Games in Beijing, “Forever the Moment” is doing more than its share of drumming up support for Korean national teams.
