Kim Tae-ri feels ‘more burdened’ after ‘The Handmaiden’

 

restmb_jhidxmake.php?idx=5%26simg=201804

 


Actress Kim Tae-ri said she feels more responsibility in acting after starring in her breakout flick “The Handmaiden.â€

 

“I thought I was young enough, but now at my age, I don’t think it is appropriate to think so. No I’m earning money from acting, and I can’t just live with a thought, ‘Things will be fine because I’m young,’†said Kim during an interview after a recent photo shoot with a local fashion magazine.

 

“In fact, when I starred in ‘The Handmaiden’ as a rookie, I had thought, ‘Well, the director will take care of everything because he picked me.’ But now my mind has changed. I feel more burdened,†she added.


The orange-tinged photos showed the actress posing in a dreamy and sensual atmosphere. One photo featured Kim holding a red rose with a blank look, while her natural makeup emphasized her natural image. 

 

Kim also shared that she has good feelings for “Mr. Sunshine,†an upcoming drama written by hit scriptwriter Kim Eun-sook. 

 

“I could easily absorb the script. I could easily image how the actress would act out just by reading the lines,†she said.

Here's why Mr Sunshine could be Korea's first global TV hit Unpacking a new trend in international television.

 

ms49.jpg&key=dbbb1a68546bde0ccdc6cd8d60e

 

 

 

Over the past few years, Korean television has been going from strength to strength. While the stars and shows may not be household names in Britain, with a growing US following and fans across the globe, this summer any Korean drama fan's watercooler topic of discussion has already been decided: it's called Mr Sunshine. (Not to be confused with the short-lived 2011 Matthew Perry sitcom, by the way…)

 

Korean dramas or "Kdrama" is more popular than you might think. Behind Hollywood and Bollywood, Seoul has become in the last few years a major player in the field of entertainment. Thanks to PSY, Kpop is an international phenomenon and South Korea is now exporting television globally, too.

 

A brief catch-up for those new to Kdrama: director Lee Eung-bok and screenwriter Kim Eun-sook released Descendants of the Sun in 2016. It was a romantic series set in a modern-day conflict zone, made with a large $10.8 million budget and an international setting.

 

The show became a huge sensation and made instant stars of leads Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo. Such was the demand for the cast after the show aired that daily news stories appeared even in the foreign press about the pair's real-life relationship.

 

The difference between Korean and American drama is once the drama is done, it's done – the story is wrapped up, characters finish their arcs and the world moves on, no matter how much of a ratings winner it becomes.

 

Without further seasons to obsess over, the hot topic of discussion is the writer's next work – especially as Korean television is written by a single person, with no group efforts or creators taking a backseat after the pilot. After Descendants came Goblin. Set in the modern day, it was a sci-fi story about a supernatural being falling in love with an ordinary woman. With a shockingly high level of pre-release hype, Goblin too became a success and made leading man Gong Yoo (known to British audiences for the instant zombie classic Train to Busan – watch it free on Amazon Prime today) television's go-to star.

 

So that's where we are today: the writer-director team of Kim Eun-sook and Lee Eung-bok have got two huge hits under their belt, and now they've created Mr Sunshine, a series with the Hollywood-friendly Lee Byung-hun (GI Joe) as its star and – crucially for that breakout appeal – a strongly American theme.

 

The production has been kept under wraps, but we know it involves another love story, this time set during the 1871 Shinmiyango (US expedition to Korea). It's the story of a boy who travels to the United States during the Shinmiyango and returns to his homeland later as an American soldier. (It's a politically charged issue, as an armed conflict broke out between the two countries resulting in the death of hundreds.)

 

Anticipation for the series is high enough among international audiences that the teaser trailer has already been viewed more than 1 million times on social media with little to no promotion upon its release.


With its lavish, widescreen panoramas, tall ships, epic battles and even a Wild-West motif, the spectacular teaser suggests no expense has been spared.

 

For Korean television shows, the soundtrack is much more important than for western releases and with Mr Sunshine, the current hot topic is who will appear in the OST. With an average of five to eight separate single releases before the full soundtrack, there is a lot of money in Korean soundtracks and a high possibility that Kim Tae-yeon of Girls' Generation will be sought after to sing at least one featured song.

Kim Min Jung's role description:

Leaked description of Kim Min Jung’s character in Mr Sunshine - Sato Hina

Also read: Kim Tae Ri’s | Yoo Yeon Seok’s | Byun Yo Han’s | Lee Byung Hun’s


Sato Hina (Actress Kim Min Jung)


 


Her Joseon’s name was â€˜Lee Yang Hwa’, however, even before the ink dries, due to her pro-Japanese father’s keen eyes(?), she was married off early and her name became â€˜Sato Hina’. Her mother couldn’t even watch her own daughter’s wedding. Because her mother, although a good and faithful wife, was abandoned by her father because she was a Joseon person.


 


Thanks to her father who sold off his own daughter and country, she became a woman whom if there was anything she could sell off, she would have to sell herself before being sold and raise herself up before being removed. 


 


When her father married her off to an old Japanese man with great wealth, Hina chose to bite instead of weeping. She looked for the weakest spot, fasten her teeth on it, and knocked it down.


 


As if Hina’s prayer was being answered, her old husband died after their two years of marriage and Hina’s gloomy youth was being compensated with a large fortune she inherited. The large fortune was no other than the hotel ‘Glory’. The one who was delighted the most when she inherited the hotel was her father, Lee Wan Ik. As Hina could see through her father, she wilfully kept her husband’s surname in order not to lose the hotel. 


 


To those who were looking for a hotel in Hansung (one of Seoul’s old names), a young and beautiful widow like her was yet another entertainment for them. Modern boys, dandy boys, hobos, and all kind of boys in Joseon flock in Hotel Glory, making Hina reach record high sales every day.


 


Hina didn’t envy the King either. All of those powerful Joseon men were in Hotel Glory all the time. Every night Hina watched the imperialists’ three inches tongues wretchedly tearing Joseon to pieces with a smile. She felt sorry for Joseon for having to choose biting instead of weeping too.


 


She always lived a second life. Her second name became her real name, her second country became her real country, and now only if the second man become hers, then her life would be perfect.


 


The man is none other than Yoo Jin. However, the man was looking at another woman. The aegisshi from an aristocrat family.

Kim Min Jung Confirmed To Take Over Kim Sa Rang’s Role In “Mr. Sunshineâ€

 
 
kim-min-jung1.jpg&key=462ea6186f499438b5
 
 
 

Kim Min Jung will be replacing actress Kim Sa Rang in the drama “Mr. Sunshine†following her departure from the show.

 

It was recently announced that Kim Sa Rang had to leave the production due to scheduling issues. After reports that Kim Min Jung was considering taking on her role, tvN confirmed on the evening of February 13 that she has accepted the offer.

 

tvN also stated that they will do their best to make a great work that will live up to viewers’ expectations.

“Mr. Sunshine†is much-anticipated by many drama fans because it will be the latest work by the hit team of writer Kim Eun Sook and director Lee Eung Bok, who previously created the popular dramas “Descendants of the Sun†and “Goblin†together.

 

The drama tells the story of a Korean man who returns to his homeland as an American soldier after leaving for the United States on a warship in 1871. It also stars Lee Byung Hun, Kim Tae Ri, Yoo Yeon Seok, and Byun Yo Han, and is planned to air in July.

 

Outdoor and special effect filming for the drama began in November, while on-set filming will start in late February after the completion of the sets, which are being built based on thorough historical research.

 

 
 

 

 

Queen Taeri snatching all these dramas and pictorials so happy for her!

Lee Byung Hun’s and Kim Tae Ri’s “Mr.Sunshine†first trailer was released.  It is comparable to an epic movie and sent out super shock waves.

 

 

“Mr. Sunshineâ€, a joint collaboration between screenwriter Kim Eun Sook and director Lee Eung Bok, released the first version of the trailer.  It lasted 1 minute and 25 seconds.  Each shot has a sense of texture and dramatic tension, multiplying audience anticipation. 

 

“Mr.Sunshine†is about the story of a slave-born teenager who boarded a warship and went to the United States.  After he grew up, he returned to Korea as a US soldier at the time when Korea was invaded by foreign governments.

Lee Byung Hun plays the protagonist Choi Yoo Jin, currently an officer of the U.S. Marine Corps; Kim Tae Ri plays Go Ae Shin, the last descendant of the scholar and bureaucrat Go clan; Yoo Yun Suk plays Goo Dong Mae, the son of a butcher and the president of the Black Dragon Society of the Capital; Byun Yo Han plays Kim Hee Seung who proposed to Go Ae Shin; Kim Min Jung plays the role of Glory Hotel Boss, Hina.

 

Previously, owing to the rather large age differences between the two main leads, and other reasons, there were questions about this drama.  However, after the release of the first trailer, netizens found the production magnificent, sophisticated and the trailer comparable to a movie trailer, making them cannot help but look forward  to the drama.   

This drama, co-created  by Kim Eun Sook and Lee Eung Bok who collaborated on “Descendents of the Sunâ€,  â€œGoblin†will be broadcasted this July by tvN.

TV series “Mr. Sunshine" Character introduction - Choi Yoo Jin (a translation) 

 

 

mr-sunshine.jpg&key=51391fddca985740ea11

 

 

 

Both his mother and father are slaves, from the moment of their birth to the slave status.  He is an American with dark hair. In any case, a man with a stranger’s composure, an  aggressor’s arrogance, and an onlooker’s sexy charm.

 

At the age of 9, his master, Kim, a Government Official, killed his parents, confirming how powerful the Kim family was.  Although the reduction of property is a regrettable, it set an example to other male servants and cannot be cosidered a loss.  This is Choi Yoo Jin’s last memory of Korea. 

 

Choi Yoo Jin kept on fleeing to be furthest away from Korea. He went on board the US warship “Colorado†  He was a confused youth at that time.  He did not know what country to call his motherland.  Even though it meant crossing the ocean to another land, starting to live at the bottom did not make any difference. He must fight to win.  If he were to lose, he would continue to fight. 

 

It seemed that his name is often linked to "first". The first Oriental to enroll in New York University; the first among Orientals to be named Senior Captain of the Navy; the first to be awarded the Medal of Honor within in the Oriental community.

 

When "최 유진" became "Eugene Choi",  he chose the United States of America to become his own motherland.

 

Waiting for Eugene Choi to return from the US Spanish War was a Medal of Honour and an assignment to be stationed in Korea.

 

In order to contain Japan and Russia whose forces are expanding day by day, the United States used the pretext of protecting its own nationals and dispatched troops to Korea.  Eugene Choi, proficient in English and Korean, quickly adapted to the new environment.  In his report, he wrote that for his country's independence, even today,  Korea has suffered countless lives. But he did not know where Korea's sovereignty was.  For him,  Korea is only the country that allowed his parents to be killed and a country that he escape from.   The so-called "two classes" apparently pretended to be liberalized by reform and in fact they were vying for the glory of selling their country.

 

From the age of nine when he escaped from Korea, Eugene Choi never looked backwards, often recalling only nightmarish scenes.


So he is determined to return to Korea not to go backwards and fall. Korea is just a piece of land that he must go through, just a stepping stone. 

 

He was determined to march through Korea, cross Korea and return to his US motherland again.

But he could not possibly know that his fate was waiting for him in Korea, shook him unscrupulously and meeting Go Ae Shin, a woman who wanted to save Korea, her motherland ...

Leaked description of Kim Tae Ri’s character in Mr Sunshine - Go Ae Shin
 

Go Ae Shin, 28 years old (Actress Kim Tae Ri)
Every other day, all sort of scandals came knocking. 28 years old Ae Shin has already passed the marriageable age for quite some time now, since in the land of Joseon, one is considered as a spinster if she has passed the age of 15. 

This is all because of Hee Sung. 
Hee Sung was the person whom Ae Shin was supposed to marry, the guy she was betrothed to at the age of 15, set by both of their grandfathers. She had never seen the face of her betrothed - she heard the news from her grandfather that he has left to study abroad in Japan. Seeing how her aunt is showing endless jealousy towards her prospective marriage candidate, she wondered what kind of person the guy is. 
 
And seeing how he never came to see her, not in even once in over a decade, it seems like he lived his life while forgetting about her, and obviously she was going to live while forgetting about him too. When it’s like this, she wishes for him to never come back. 


 
tumblr_inline_p4no3raGYV1qassi4_540.jpg&

 

 

 
She had to fight with her grandfather for a month for it, and though it was unfortunate that she had to be accompanied by a manservant and a servant girl Bong Soon when going to school, it was all thanks to that modern school where daughters of the ‘peasants’ were attending that she came to learn about 'I’m a girl. Boys be ambitious’.
 
Someone in school said that now was the romantic era. Ae Shin agreed that it was. But Ae Shin’s romanticism wasn’t about coffee, western clothing nor imported goods, but her romanticism was about those rifles made in Russia. 
That was the intense romanticism that she, the 'Aegisshi’ of Joseon’s most prominent aristocratic family, wished to have. 
Was it because of her father’s blood that was spilled for the sake of the country? Was it because of her beloved mother’s ardor towards such a man? 
 
No matter how she think of it, there was no way that only Boys can be having ambitions. 
Men who cherished her as if she’s a flower were boring, and rather than being a blooming flower ready to wither, she would prefer being the most furious flame. 
 


tumblr_inline_p4np72N70x1qassi4_540.jpg&

 
On the day Ae Shin’s grandfather discovered her secret collections of 'Hanseong Sunbo’ (nation’s first newspaper) and 'Doknip Newspaper’ in her room, there was sorrow in his eyes, instead of anger. 
 
It all started from that day when she met a gunner when running an errand for her grandfather who wanted to eat meat from 'Maejjimsung’. Her grandfather’s request was only one. For her to stay alive. 
 
From that day on, Kang gunner became a teacher to the 19 years old Ae Shin. Kang gunner taught her how to deal with gunpowder and different kind of guns, and taught her gun training. Nine years later, Ae Shin has never missed her targets. 
 
It was at the moment when Hansung’s (one of Seoul’s old names) first streetlight was turned on that Ae Shin first met a guy who is not dull. He’s egoistic, he’s cold yet warm, and he came from the America. A man who was a stranger in her life, Yoo Jin. 
 
Ae Shin eanerstly wished that the man’s heart would not be her target.

Leaked description of Yoo Yeon Seok’s character in Mr Sunshine, Goo Dong Mae 

 

 

 

Goo Dong Mae (Actor Yoo Yeon Seok)

 

He was born as a Baekjeong’s son.


Baekjeong people were not even regarded as human. The daughters and wives of Baekjeong were boastfully raped, and while Baekjeong’s men hold the knives, they could not wield them on anybody. It was humiliating everyday.

When their paths crossed, others would get startled, steered away and even spit on him. Even forceful beating would feel less hurtful. His being was worth less than cows and pigs. That was Dong Mae.

 

As he couldn’t live as cows and pigs, he got out of the village following a group of singing beggars. The hardship period was long and the beatings from the hyungs were brutal. The violence used by the people of  Cheonmin class towards other Cheonmin people were more vicious than the tyranny by the Yangban class. A better world for a Baekjeong son like Dong Mae was nowhere to be found on the ground of Joseon.

 

So Dong Mae abandoned Joseon on his own. No, actually, from the very beginning, Joseon never had Dong Mae.

 

tumblr_inline_p4npufRsnw1qassi4_540.jpg&

 

 

As he crossed over to Japan, Dong Mae has caught the eyes of Kokuryukai’stop leader. Dong Mae has held knives since he was ten. Dong Mae’s swords were aimed only at the fatal spots, neat and swift.

 

Dong Mae’s country was not Joseon nor Japan, but the Kokuryukai. Dong Mae moves for the sake of Kokuryukai’s benefits and prosperity. Dong Mae was like a beast who captured beasts. He tore and devoured everything in front of him that blocked his way.

 

The Kokuryukai bestowed a new name for Dong Mae, something that a father would do for his children. So from that day on, in Dong Mae’s heart, Kokuryukai was his father. 

 

Kokuryukai intended to expand their influence in Joseon and made Dong Mae stood in the vanguard to lead.

 

 

tumblr_inline_p4nq3oN2Go1qassi4_540.jpg&

 

There was only one reason for Dong Mae to return to Joseon - the eyes of the only woman who stared at him. There was no contempt, disdain and not even fear in her eyes. The woman is no other than the aegisshi (noble young lady) of Joseon’s aristocrat family, Ae Shin.

 

As he behaved as a person should, he became desperate for the name Go Ae Shin onl. He shouldn’t feel like this, but he wouldn’t care even if everyone in the world became his enemy.

 

He was really displeased with the American guy who would often hang around Ae Shin. He was struck with the feeling as if he was being cut in. But he never had her, though.

 

Loving only Ae Shin, crazy in love, being crazy because of love - Dong Mae is such a man.

(T/N: Read this post for more background info on the traditional Korean social hierarchy back then and the discrimination faced by the outcast group, ‘Baekjeong’, the caste which Dong Mae belonged to)

Leaked description of Byun Yo Han’s character in Mr Sunshine - Kim Hee Sung

 

 

Kim Hee Sung (Actor Byun Yo Han)

Shining Hee, star Sung. Just like his name, Hee Sung stood out wherever he went to. As he was sweet, funny, with a lot money and handsome, he was always dating. He self-proclaimed as a philanthropist but by others he was called a womanizer.

 

They say â€˜the upstream water should be clean first in order to have clean water down the stream’ but in Hee Sung’s case, it was the opposite. The upstream water (the nobleman / his parents) were too dirty.

 

Thanks to his notoriously horrible grandfather and notoriously coward father, he lived his life without passion as a â€˜foolish bastard’.

I’m afraid of the blood running through my veins. If given the power it might be wielded inappropriately. 

 

tumblr_inline_p4nw9p77kZ1qassi4_540.jpg&

 

 

As he could no longer stand his mother’s pestering, he returned to Joseon to get married after ten years of studying abroad. He actually wanted to delay his arranged marriage with the girl whom his oppressive grandfather has chosen for him. 

However now, that glowing lady.. is my betrothed?

 

Hee Sung regretted his past ten years in Japan. And now it’s already too late. It seemed like there was no room for him in the woman’s heart. He could drive her self out of Joseon, but he couldn’t drive the foreign man out of her mind.

The only thing Hee Sung could do was to delay his marriage with Ae Shin. However to never marry her became such an ironic thing to promise. It was such a sad thing he never expect.

Kim Tae Ri Explains How She Changed After “The Handmaidenâ€

 

 

 

Kim-Tae-Ri-3.jpg&key=b8c0de70b25b6e5c8fb

 

 

 

Kim Tae Ri recently participated in a photo shoot for High Cut magazine, where she talked about her various works and her changing mindset as an actress.

 

 

 

Kim-Tae-Ri-1.jpg&key=95fe61271b227eea938

 

 

 

The actress first talked about working on hit scriptwriter Kim Eun Sook’s upcoming drama “Mister Sunshine.†She shared, “The script is very easy to absorb. Just by reading the lines, it was easy to imagine how the actor would act out those parts. She writes very well.â€

 

With Kim Eun Sook known for her famous lines, Kim Tae Ri was asked if there would be any in the upcoming drama. She laughed and replied, “There definitely are. But they’re spoilers so I can’t say anything.â€

 

 

On her recent film “Little Forest†reaching a breakeven point, the actress commented, “I feel proud. For ‘The Handmaiden,’ I was too much of a rookie, and for ‘1987,’ I felt less pressure because there were many amazing seniors who also appeared. But for ‘Little Forest,’ I felt a bit more desperate. I especially felt the need to do well, so nowadays, I feel really good.â€

 

Kim Tae Ri also shared that she feels more responsibility now than during her “The Handmaiden†days. She explained that she used to think she was quite young, but she is at an age now where she can’t think that way anymore.

 

She added, “Putting age aside, I’m being paid for working now, so I can’t be careless. I can’t keep using young age as an excuse. During ‘The Handmaiden,’ I trusted that the production staff would make a good film on their own, but I can’t think that way anymore. I feel much more responsible now.â€

Upcoming tvN Drama “Mr. Sunshine†Releases Beautifully Cinematographic Teaser

 

 

 

 

Highly anticipated tvN drama “Mr. Sunshine†has released a stunning and impactful teaser.

 

Kim Tae Ri narrates, “Yesterday was far, and today is unfamiliar. Tomorrow is the feared upheaval. We all were, in our own ways, passing a changing Joseon.†Amidst her narration, shots from the drama as well as shots of the cast in their characters were revealed. Some of the shots of scenes show a battle, the loud click of a gun, the unsheathing of a sword, and the Korean and American flags, all a beautiful amalgamation of traditional Korea meeting the modern West.

 

Lee Byung Hun appears dressed completely in black, looking dashing in a black fedora. He stands out sharply from the white, snowy background as he walks on an icy landscape. He will be playing former slave and current U.S. marine officer Eugene Choi.

Kim Tae Ri appears in two shots, both wearing traditional Korean garb. In one, she peacefully reads from a book in the sunlight, and in another she gazes deeply into the camera. She will be playing a nobleman’s daughter, Go Ae Shin.

Yoo Yeon Seok glares intensely at the camera, with long hair tied back, with determination in his eyes. He will be playing Goo Dong Mae, the president of the Black Dragon Society.

“Mr. Sunshine†is set in 1871 during the real life events of the American invasion into Korea, and is about a man who was abandoned by his nation and returns to Korea as an American soldier. The drama is the third collaboration between writer Kim Eun Sook and director Lee Eung Bok, who also worked on “Goblin†and “Descendants of the Sun†together.

 

“Mr. Sunshine†will air its first episode in July.
