Women Actors Take Over the Big Screen
The film industry is full of energy at the end of February. What stands out the most is the movement of women actors; from Jeon Do-yeon, who has been supported greatly for the last 30 years by the nation, to rising gems Park Shin-hye, Jeon Jong-seo and Shin Hye-sun, they are anticipated to bring abundance to the film industry.
Jeon Do-yeon is back with "Beasts Clawing at Straws"
"Beasts Clawing at Straws" came out on the 19th and the crime film revolves around eight lowlifes chasing after a bag full of cash, starring Korea's most celebrated stars Jeon Do-yeon, Jung Woo-sung, Bae Sung-woo, Youn Yuh-jung and Jung Man-sik, Jin Kyung, Shin Hyun-bin and even Jung Ga-ram. Particularly, with Jeon Do-yeon, who is the first Korean actress to win the Best Actress Award at the 60th Cannes International Film Festival with the 2007 film "Secret Sunshine", expectations are high. Through an interview with Sports Hanguk, she said, "I've always wanted to play the villain and break the stereotypes regarding them. There are so many aspects to humans. Yeon-hee is cruel, but she's not always so hateful".
