이영애―최민식 사상 첫 ‘호흡’



Despite each of them being top stars in films and dramas, it was difficult to see Choi Min-Shik and Lee Young-Ae performing together. Finally we will be able to watch them on the same screen in 2005, thanks to their previous collaborations with Park Chan-Wook--Lee Young-Ae through 'Joint Security Area' of 2000, and Choi Min-Shik through 'Oldboy' of 2003.

At the end of last year, the casting of these two stars in 'Sympathy for Lady Vengeance', the finale of director Park's revenge series succeeding 'Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance' and 'Oldboy', had generated excitement among movie fans. The filming began on December 1, but they had not performed together as Choi Min-Shik was busy with his other movie, 'Crying Fist'.

Their rendezvous finally came true when Choi Min-Shik joined 'Sympathy for Lady Vengeance' on February 14 at its filming location in Okcheon, Chungbuk.

We were curious how they looked together, each with their own distinct style and character that may or may not harmonize. "On the first day Lee Young-Ae and Choi Min-Shik met, they showed great teamwork, caring about each other's scenes, movements and lines," said an official of All That Cinema.

The friendly mood among the staffs also helped to lubricate their first meeting, with the majority of the staffs from 'Oldboy' who had shown fantastic collaboration with Park Chan-Wook and Choi Min-Shik also participating in the production of 'Sympathy for Lady Vengeance'.

In addition, Song Gang-Ho, a close friend of Choi Min-Shik, paid a visit to show his friendly support for the two stars and the movie as a whole, further warming up the atmosphere.

Choi Min-Shik plays the role of 'Sir Baek', wearing a tidy suit and a tie. Sir Baek is the man who sent Geum-Ja (Lee Young-Ae) to prison, who becomes the target of her revenge the moment she comes back after 13 years of service.

Their confrontation will gradually take form toward the end of the movie. What happened between the two 13 years ago, and what would be the end of the revenge? The attentions of all movie fans are focused on the two actors.

'Sympathy for Lady Vengeance' is scheduled to finish filming in March, and open in theaters in June.

Violent? From what I read, especially during the interview with the director, he said there will be less violent from the previous film.. as the main character is Young Ae, I think we'll see more emotions in this one or he would make it in a way that it is a brutal film, as the film's name but with a twist..hm..
still i hope to see young ae's face on big screen!!
