Master Kims [K-Movie] ( 2008) (Choi Sung Kook, Shin Hyun Jun, Kwon Oh Joong)
Genre: Comedy/Action
Note: What do you get when you have 3 Martial Art Teachers In the same town with the Same Name?
Plot:
In the kung fu films of yore, the world was only big enough for one martial arts master who must defeat everyone else to claim his title. But times have changed, and in a small village in Chungcheong province, we have not one but two masters. And they have the same name! Master Kim (Choi Sung Kook, Crazy Assassins) is a kendo (fencing) expert who spends his time playing arcade games and arguing with little kids. Master Kim #2 (Shin Hyun Jun, Guns & Talks), is a Taekkyun expert who whines all day and can’t even take care of himself properly. They finally get a decent reason to live when they start fighting for the belle (Oh Seung Hyeon) of the village, the daughter of the local Chinese restaurant owner (No Ju Hyeon, Seven Princesses). But then all their efforts go in vain, when yet another Master Kim (Kwon Oh Joong, Damo) joins the fray. He looks great, fights like a star, and can even sing a mean sonata. What can you do? If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em!
Master Kims makes no secret about what its major goal is: laughs, laughs, and more laughs. And comic masters Shin Hyun Jun, Kwon Oh Joong, and Choi Sung Kook are the perfect recipe. Choi has become famous as one of the best Korean actors when it comes to making a fool out of himself, while the ad-lib prowess of Shin Hyun Jun keeps getting better. Other than sitcom regular Kwon, the film also features hilarious cameos from comedy mainstays like Lee Han Wi, Park Cheol Min, and even comedians Kim Byung Man and Jung Joon Ha. Director Park Sung Gyun has had an interesting career, having worked as assistant director for Jung Ji Young’s Naked Being and for the drama Besame Mucho and written the script of horror A Nightmare. His debut film, Master Kims, opens a new chapter in the director’s varied career.

Dororo [ J-Movie] ( Satoshi Tsumabuki, 2007)
You Tube LinkPlot:
The story of a female warrior named Dororo, raised as a man, who meets a young samurai on a quest to recover his father’s body parts, which were given to demons.
Overview:
Adapted from Tezuka Osamu’s popular manga, Dororo is a rollicking period adventure for all ages. A blockbuster success in Japan, with not just one but two sequels already in the works, Dororo features the idol pairing of Tsumabuki Satoshi (Nada Sou Sou) and Shibasaki Kou (Sinking of Japan) as storied demon hunters Hyakkimaru and Dororo. This unabashedly fun comic book actioner may seem like an unlikely entry from acclaimed indie director Shiota Akihiko (Don’t Look Back), but the film also touches on serious themes of family, war, and redemption which Shiota underlies with convincing humanity. With action choreography by Ching Siu Tung (Hero) and plenty of CG demons to boot, however, Dororo never gets too serious for the genre, staying fast-paced and swashbuckling from beginning to end.
With the land torn by feudal war, vanquished samurai warlord Daigo Kagemitsu (Nakai Kiichi) cuts a deal with the demons - victory in exchange for his unborn son. His wishes granted, Daigo triumphs on the battlefield, but his son is born barely human, his body having been torn into forty-eight parts and spread amongst the demons. Left in a basket in a river, the infant is picked up by kind-hearted doctor Jukai (Harada Yoshio) who raises the boy like a son and builds him a new body, Frankenstein style. Impervious to pain and injury, the boy possesses unnatural powers and an uncommon will to live, but in order to become truly human, he must recover his body parts. And thus begins the quest of Hyakkimaru (Tsumabuki Satoshi), as he roams the land hunting down the forty-eight demons. With each demon slayed, a part of him is restored, or rather regrown. During his journey, he befriends scrappy street thief Dororo (Shibasaki Kou), who joins him in his epic adventure, an adventure that leads them to Daigo.

Nothing special is a keyword for Da-jin (Kim Ha-neul), a hard-working editor at a publishing company, and her boyfriend Jae-young (Yoon Kye-sang), an equally diligent home shopping producer. Six years ago, they began to date. Two years ago, they started sleeping together. Now, they are next-door neighbors, but the wall separating their houses does not have any significant function. They virtually share their rooms — and bedrooms at night. They know each other inside and out so much so that they begin to feel a bit bored, and the magical sparks and excitement is already gone…Their relationships seem to have passed a stage where something special is at work.
