각설탕 (Lump of Sugar) Teaser Trailer Released

Thanks a lot for the trailer link X. Looks better than I was expecting. I was just expecting it to be entertaining fluff, but it actually looks quite dramatic.

As far a "He Was Cool" goes, I actually enjoyed some parts of that film, though I'm not saying it was a good film, but I did find it entertaining.
Hopefully the director manages to make a better film this time, since it looks like it has potential.

I actually quite liked He Was Cool as well. And Temptation of Wolves. I dunno, lowered expectations, perhaps, but whilst overall they were staggeringly silly, cliched, manipulative, insulting et al - typical glossy teen-flick stuff ;) - there were several parts of each film I thought were really well filmed, hugely entertaining and great fun to watch. At least I know it's not just me. :D

Romance of their own (Temptation of the Wolf in Korean) and He Was Cool were actually written (or at least the original novel was) -- and I know I'm insulting 99% of Korean novelists saying 'written' -- by the same person, back then highschooler Gwiyeoni, hence the similar tone.

I knew that. That's why I mentioned both of them. ;)

Looks like YesAsia updated the release date on the Korean DVD of Lump Sugar. According to their preorder page, it will be out on November 23, 2006 (If the date is right.)

A few days ago, they had it listed as coming out at the end of December which was after even the HK disc. The Korean distributor has wisely decided to release it before The Host comes out on DVD. I think that Lump Sugar would have put up better box office numbers if it hadn't gone head to head with The Host.

This is great news though, I thought I'd have to wait two more months to see it, and now it'll be just one month. Hurray!
Im Soo-Jung is my favorite Korean actress (as many of you might already know.)
