Fabulous Comedy Drama Hit
|
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
|
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. |

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!
|
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. |
