YesAsia Editorial Description

Comedic favorite Cha Tae Hyun (My Sassy Girl) stars in the surprise box-office hit Scandal Makers (a.k.a. Speedy Scandal), Korea's highest-grossing comedy of all time. Written and directed by first-time filmmaker Kang Hyung Chul and produced by A.P.T. director Ahn Byung Ki, Scandal Makers serves up hearty laughter with the story of a former pop idol who enters panic mode when he discovers he may have a teen daughter. Mixing family sitcom laughs with winking jabs at the entertainment industry, the film is the perfect vehicle for Cha Tae Hyun to flex his comedic muscles and hapless faces. Adding to the fun are breakthrough actress Park Bo Young (Our School E.T.), who won Best Newcomer Actress at the 45th Baeksang Arts Awards, and adorable scene-stealing child actor Hwang Suk Hyun, whose priceless facial expressions had moviegoers up in stitches. Already picked up for a Hollywood remake, Scandal Makers collected over eight million admissions during its amazing run from December 2008 to spring 2009 to become one of Korea's biggest hits of all time.

Thirty-something former pop singer Hyun Su (Cha Tae Hyun) is now a popular radio DJ who spends too much time reminiscing about his idol past. He's got plenty more to occupy his mind though when Jung Nam (Park Bo Young) shows up claiming to be his daughter. What's more, she's brought along a mischievous little boy, Ki Dong (Hwang Suk Hyun), whom she claims to be her son. In the blink of an eye, Hyun Su has become a father and a grandfather. His career is over if the media catches scent of this!

This edition comes with commentary, deleted scenes, making of, and other extras.

Professional Review of "Scandal Makers (DVD) (2-Disc) (Korea Version)"

July 3, 2009

The Scandal Makers broke box office records in Korea, and after seeing the film it's hard to fault audiences for spending their box-office dollars. An enjoyable comedy made for popular appeal, Scandal Makers features many commercial elements: a likable and proven leading man, a young and photogenic leading lady, a sitcom-worthy premise, family-friendly laughs and – perhaps most important of all - an adorable little kid. Director-screenwriter Kang Hyoung-Chul has made a film for the masses, but Scandal Makers earns its "thumbs up" for more than just the obvious - it's got a solid script and smart direction, too. The adorable little kid still helps a lot, though.

Cha Tae-Hyun (My Sassy Girl) stars as Hyun-Su, a former TV actor turned popular radio personality. Hyun-Su's ratings rise when he counsels a single mother over the airwaves to seek out her long-lost father and show up on his doorstep with her young son. Despite his advice, Hyun-Su pities the unsuspecting grandfather because he's an avowed player and happy with the single life. Too bad that he's actually the unsuspecting grandfather; single mother Jung-Nam (Park Bo-Young) is his daughter from his ninth grade affair with an older woman, and Jung-Nam was pretty young herself when she conceived her son Ki-Dong (Wang Seok-Hyun). Together, the combined age of the three generations barely cracks 60. Planned Parenthood would have a fit.

Scandals can spell doom for popular personalities, and with his star currently on the rise, Hyun-Su would like to avoid bad publicity. However, Jung-Nam forces her way into his home and life, demanding shelter in exchange for her silence. Meanwhile, she pursues her dream of becoming a singer, and coincidentally Hyun-Su's radio show is hosting a singing competition. Jung-Nam soon shows up at Hyun-Su's studio to audition, while Hyun-Su fumes in the background and little Ki-Dong heads off to school. Hyun-Su lightens up a bit when he develops a crush on Ki-Dong's babelicious teacher (Hwangwoo Seulhae) and recruits young Ki-Dong to be his assistant matchmaker. Predictably, bonds develop between the three, but conflict isn't far off, either. Besides the omnipresent threat of scandal, there's the simple trial of adjustment. Can Hyun-Su finally give up his swinging bachelor ways for a three-generation household?

Spoiler alert! Of course he can, but like all commercial movies in our modern "seen-that-before" film consumption culture, the trick to a quality film isn't really what happens, but how. In that, Scandal Makers does its job exceptionally, moving at an entertaining pace and developing its story well. There's some convenience going on, but director Kang makes good use of all his characters and situations. There are no extraneous parts here; every element that's introduced returns in a welcome and appropriate fashion. Also, the filmmakers shows restraint, choosing not to lean on sappy montages or out-of-nowhere plot devices to grab the audience. There's a third act dip into drama, but by then the characters have endeared themselves to the audience - and hey, it's only drama, not melodrama. Simply for not going over the top, the filmmakers receive extra points.

The performances help quite a bit. Cha Tae-Hyun is dependable as the older-than-he-looks Hyun-Su, and nineteen year-old Park Bo-Young has the makings of a real star. However, little Wang Seok-Hyun steals the show; his curly-haired Ki-Dong is cute and precocious, and doesn't become annoying despite possessing a loaded character trait like sleepwalking. Ki-Dong's sleepwalking hook is milked for a couple of gags, but - in yet another moment of restraint - that's all the focus it gets: just a couple of gags. Kang Hyoung-Chul reportedly went through numerous screenplay drafts before the film finally entered production, and the final result seems well-thought and complete. The Scandal Makers never strays far from convention, but it seems to relish its commercial status, giving audiences what they want in a polished, smart and enjoyable fashion. If only all commercial films could be as agreeable.

Has that little extra
Every once in a while, Korean comedies unveil a firework of creativity and Scandal Makers hits the jackpot with a finesse all its own.

Things couldn't be going better for Nam Hyun Soo (Cha Tae Hyun), a celebrated radio DJ who enjoys continuing success. Living the liberal life of a bachelor in a luxury apartment, he is constantly adored by the women of his choice. In spite of all this, he has one minor flaw in his profile, which is a daughter from an affair back in ninth grade. Now in his 30s, Hyun Soo is barely aware of this troublesome fact. His patience is severely tested after his grown-up daughter finds him and brings along another unsuspected surprise.

Scandal Makers is loaded with situational comedy right from the scene in which Hyun Soo's daughter, Hwang Jung Nam (Park Bo Young), arrives at his doorstep and makes him come face to face with his past and his grandson. The multi-facetted expressions of the leading stars are hilarious and convincing at the same time, as director Kang Hyung Chul unveils an intriguing tale of past wrongdoing and its resulting consequences in a captivating way. As seems to be the rule in many films, Scandal Makers leans a bit more towards the dramatic as it moves along. Yet, this does not take away from the overall amusement, but on the contrary gives a believable account of how Hyun Soo develops from an initial career-driven character full of arrogance and greed to one that stands up for and loves his family. You are also sure to be drawn in by the movie's surprise star, Wang Suk Hyun. Not only is he simply adorable in his role as Hyun Soo's grandson Ki Dong, but also gives a fine example that adults don't rule when it comes to successful cardplay and piano performances.

Underlined by a pleasing soundtrack, Scandal Makers drew 100% of my attention. Ending on a positive note with the Scandal Makers family's cover of the feel-good Katrina and the Waves hit Walking On Sunshine, Scandal Makers offers a lot of little extras worth discovering.

Fabulous Comedy Drama Hit Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
As an ex-silver trouser pop star Hyun Su succumbs to being a local radio station 'celebrity' DJ, whose main forte is talk shows with low ratings. Hyun Su though boosts those pesky ratings by regularly reading letters over the airwaves from a single mother Jung Nam (Bo Young Park), who with her young son desperately needs to see her estranged father again. With strong encouragement from Hyun Su, his positive encouragement leads both girl and son to appear un-announced at the doorstep of Hyun Su’s plush apartment, dropping a bomb shell that HE is actually Jung Nam’s father. With a big classic Tae Hyun Cha shocked face at such a revelation, especially as it’s the same time Hyun Su is expecting a hot date to appear, he suddenly remembers a relationship in his youth that would have produced such an offspring. Reluctantly Hyun Su accommodates his two new ‘house guests’ and then decides to get a DNA test to clarify if Jung Nam is actually his daughter. So he bundles them over to a dog surgery where Hyun Su’s old rock band drummer mate makes a DNA test, which proves 100% positive; Jung Nam is his daughter. Fearing an embarrassing scandal, he lets Jang Nam and her son live with him and promises to help Jung Nam become a singer if she keeps mum. But Jung Nam only dreams of reconciling with the father she never knew and enters a pop singer talent competition at Hyun Su’s radio station as a means of expressing the love to her father she feels she cannot reveal.

This is a brilliant blend of drama comedy romp and the importance of family values, of how important a parent is to a child. With incredible quick fire visuals and comedy, its pure family entertainment. Tae Chae’s well-timed satire is on form and Bo Young Park as his single mum daughter is brilliant (I was convinced by her talent after “The ESP Couple”) and the lad Suk Hyun Hwang as Ki Dong’s son is so funny cute by his facial reactions and subtle gestures. He even keeps beating Hyun Su at playing cards and tries to fix a date with a nursery assistant Hyun Su falls in love with. Watching the scene at the nursery where Hyun Su and Ki Dong become infatuated and mesmerized by a nursery assistant and a young schoolgirl respectively is a gem. Fascinatingly this is a ‘Toilet Pictures’ film also produced by Byung Ki Ahn who previously directed horror films like “Phone” and “Apt” and amazing to see how he’s contributed to a different genre and a massive hit. Buy without hesitation children.

Just might be the perfect date movie Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Every once in a while you come across a movie in which everything fits together beautifully. "Scandal Makers" is just such a film. Its success begins with an ingenious premise -- a 30-something womanizing failed-pop-star-turned-radio-host is shocked when a teenaged girl shows up on his doorstep claiming to be his daughter ... and she has a son in tow, thus turning the childish playboy into an instant granddad!

Cha Tae Hyun is brilliant as the irresponsible celebrity unwilling to accept his abrupt change in circumstances. Park Bo Young is equally good as the spunky daughter-with-a-dream. Hwang Suk Hyun is an adorable little tyke and Hwangwoo Seul Hye is appealing as the boy's kindergarten teacher.

The film's clever premise is fleshed out brilliantly with a script that offers lots of humor while effectively tugging at the viewer's heart strings and allowing its characters to develop in a natural, unforced manner. "Scandal Makers" is darn near flawless -- I recommend it highly for a perfect evening of light entertainment.

Awesome movie. Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Best Korean movie I've seen in years. This movie made me laugh, cry, happy, and mad!
Going into the theaters to watch this movie, I had NO IDEA what this movie was about.
All I know was that Cha Tae Hyun was in it.
When I came out, the one thought in my head was that I needed to buy the DVD when it comes out. It's just so good. Although Cha Tae Hyun is one of the best in Korea, I think Park Bo Young outshined him in this movie. Her acting was superb. That one scene just made my heartache, I almost wanted to get up and help her myself. Storyline was great, I just wish they made the movie longer.
A must buy for all Korean movie lovers.

Great Film! Very entertaining! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I wasn't too sure what to expectd of the film after watching the trailer but went ahead and ordered it from
YA, base on all of the hype (and ticket sales in korea). I didn't think Cha Tae Hyun still had anything left in him, after a bunch of bad films, but he definitely came back with this one. Park Bo Young did an excellent job in the film as well. The film has already been picked up by a US company in plans for doing a remake. The Director that is on the remake project commented "It's very entertaining and very universal." After watching the film, I know what he meant now, and yes it's a very entertaining. I highly recommend to watch this film before the remake - so many bad remakes (e.g. My Sassy Girl), although with this one they might be able to pull this one off.
