sharp dresser

It was a cold rainy morning. The perfect weather to sleep in.
Unfortunately I had to drag myself out of bed before 9 and get ready to leave.

But it was worth it, because I got to attend a press conference for My Teacher Mr Kim.

My Teacher Mr Who? you might ask.

It's a new Korean film. Very big becos it was the first K film to have its rights bought up ... BEFORE production was over. (The Others like Il Mare and My Sassy Girl only had their rights bought up... AFTER production was over, so you must understand the significance here)

Anyway, the lead actor Cha Seung Won and director Jang Gyu Sung were at the Goodwood Park HOtel to answer questions from the media. Unfortunately I'm a nobody so didn't score a one-on-one.

But it was quite interesting, with the bulk of the questions focusing on the dramatic issue of bribery in schools - that's what the show features, as Mr Kim is sent into 'exile' for not being discreet about the bribery.

I would say that 80% of the questions were about that. So it was very tedious.

Especially since everything had to be translated to and from Korean.

But hell, Mr Cha was a feast for the eyes!

Tall (1.88m), with a sharp sense of dressing, and a nice deep voice (although i would hardly call Korean a romantic language), he was pretty darn good looking. Well he did start out as a model after all.

But you'd be disappointed if you watch the movie, he's so much better looking in person.

If you understand Korean click here and if you don't click here anyway cos it's a cute site. (just click on the korean words below the chalkboard)
