this was my first time actually seeing park bo young in something , and i felt that she was a revelation as young sook .

drama debussie : i guess all in all hot young bloods was worth the watch . it gave us a little of everything and i like that . is it one of my favorite movies ever ? not really , but it did entertain me immensely . it also made me want to keep the nostalgia going with another nostalgic movie fave of mine , sunny . but that’s another story for another day .
tiara : hot young bloods is sweet and fun with some dirty humor thrown in . i laughed , cried , and had a blast despite the slow beginning . it ' s a bit campy with a hea , but it’s well worth your time . enjoy the 80s tribute in - between the story . before starting this film remember to grab your popcorn and drinks or you just might have to make do without .
lee se young plays delicate city girl and gangster - y troublemaker very convincingly .
young sook is a feared leader of a female gang in her high school .
[ by chloe yun ] actor lee jong suk talked about his transformation into casanova in his new movie ‘hot blooded youth’ at the press conference held on january 16 in seoul .
despite young sook being the tough gangsta girl , i love , love , love that park bo young imbues her with a layer of vulnerability that just shines through .
as a teen novel , blue bloods has all the usual suspects , with some pretty fabulous names . the beautiful - even - though - she - doesn’t - try loner outcast , schuyler van alen . the trusty best friend , oliver hazard - perry . the hot popular guy with a heart of gold , jack force . the hot popular girl who’s a total bitch , mimi force . the hot popular girl who’s actually kind of nice and ends up befriending our outcast heroine , bliss llewellyn ( that is seriously her name ) . you may have noticed a pattern–they’re all gorgeous . another thing to note–with one exception , they’re all vampires . i’m not really spoiling this , because it’s pretty obvious from the get - go .
best korean movie ever i ' ve ever been watched . now i am a huge fan of park bo young < 3 . i hope more movie for park bo young .
the new lee jong - suk and park bo - young vehicle hot young bloods , an 80s set rural high school film from lotte entertainment timed for the lunar new year holiday , has begun its move abroad after selling to a trio of asian markets . late last year at the american film market , the film sold to hong kong and lotte announced last week that the film recently sold to singapore and malaysia as well . hk film distributor deltamac cited lee jong - suk’s rising star status as the reason behind their purchase . the outfit previously bought lee’s vehicle no breathing in 2013 .
meanwhile , young - sook and her classmates are also receiving a lesson on sex - ed . but young - sook herself doesn’t seem to care as she falls asleep during the lesson .
because he never was interested in her , gwang - sik thought of young sook as his woman .
young - sook stares at a train ticket that will allow her to travel to seoul , but is interrupted by gwang - sik who has come to visit . when he asks her if she ever liked him even if it was just for a brief moment , young - sook confesses that she never had any feelings for him . gwang - sik walks away disappointed and meets up with young - sook’s sidekick who had told gwang - sik that young - sook never liked him . he declares them allies , leaving young - sook’s used - to - be - friend - now - enemy to attack young - sook for what she put gwang - sik through . she , who is now the leader , drags her group with her to batter young - sook up , but young - sook isn’t even disturbed one bit . “let’s finish this quickly , ” she even adds . haha . gotta love young - sook .
finally it is confirmed . cannot wait for the movie now . lee jong suk and park bo young .
i love the ending where joong gil strides in to young sook’s workplace to sweep her off her feet .
hot - shot police detective lee is out to get a hit - and - run driver . he discovers the driver is his long lost girlfriend from ten years ago . as her crime - record accumulates he tries to protect her .
park bo young , lee jong suk , and kim young kwang . great cast . cute movie . not the best story out there but still good . id recommend it if you are a fan of any of these 3 actors
sage : * extra spoiler alert * them getting married and having a baby was a nice little adding , like a cherry on top . oh , and then the girl who ran like nobody’s business because she had a crush on her cousin ! she was hilarious . i liked that they ended it with her saying that she was a “hot young blood . ”
young - sook ( park bo - young ) is the feared leader of a female gang at the high school . although she is known for her toughness , she has a secret crush on joong - gil ( lee jong - suk ) . meanwhile , joong - gil is the school ' s playboy . he attempts to woo all the girls at his high school except for young - sook . that ' s because gwang - sik ( kim young - kwang ) , the feared leader of a rival school ' s male gang , views young - sook as his woman .

soon the high - minded ideology of the crips gave way to street violence and petty crime , which became their way of getting noticed and also of policing who was with them or against them . soon enough , something really was against them : the bloods .
( look at this . look at those eyes . look at that face expression . my park bo young ) .
i ' ve always been a fan of the main actor and actress , so i do think i am a bit biased in my judgment here by saying this has got to be my fave korean rom - com movie ever . hot young bloods manages to perfectly capture youth , young love and all its desperation . nothing in the world mattered if they had each other , that kind of thing . i laughed , cried and smiled like an idiot while watching this and i can guarantee you will , too . i do admit it reminds me a bit of our times , the taiwanese rom - com ( which also happens to be one of my all - time favourites ) , in the smallest ways like the different gangs and high school love . despite…
waaaa . . . the cast alone enough to make me watch this movie . . . first lee bo young i saw in werewolf boy n speedy scandal , then kim young kwang in runway cop then lee se young recently in lovely rival + lee jong suk in i can hear your voice . . . daebaaak . . i can ' t wait to watch this movie
in the classroom , young - sook confronts so - hee on the pack of cigarettes she found in one of so - hee’s pouches . the fact that she smokes even though she has asthma makes young - sook laugh in disbelief . annoyed and angry , so - hee invites young - sook for a talk so they head to the girl’s restroom ( ooh . stuff is gonna go down ) . while so - hee’s all by herself , young - sook’s group of friends ends up following them ( lol ) , but young - sook makes them leave , reassuring them that she can handle so - hee all by herself .
so i promised one of my readers that i would do a recap on ‘hot young bloods’ or ‘hot boiling youth’ starring park bo young and lee jong suk a few months back once i got the time to do it and since i’m on summer vacation and i’m not doing much right now , i thought i would stop being lazy and stop procrastinating and actually fulfill my promise . i had done a review of my thoughts and opinion on this movie , so if you would like you can go read that before reading this recap . i can’t promise you that i understand the movie wholeheartedly because there are still things i’m confused about myself , but i’ll try my best to make this recap fun and understanding . it’s my second time watching this movie , so hopefully i’ll get a better understanding of it though . also , i hope you guys don’t mind if this recap is uninteresting and disorganized . this movie isn’t the most interesting and addicting movie ever , but i wanted to finish it for you guys who have been wanting one so yeah . thank you ~ ~ ~
2009 ) and the main cast , park bo - young and lee jong - suk in attendance on december 30th , 2013 .
i can ' t waiiiitttt . . . . . . . . . . . . . bo young & jong suk ♥♥♥
tis true . . there are way too many dramas to watch and review . . i’m even toying with the idea of not reviewing some dramas to make more time for watching drama . and this is why i keep movies for zone - out days , coz i know i’m not planning to review them anyway , so it really doesn’t matter if my brain’s not all switched on . hot young bloods took me by surprise though . i had so many thoughts after the movie that a review really seemed the only way to get them all out ! xd i think that’s possibly similar to what happened with you when you watched the suspect ! many thoughts together = review in the making !
mr . sloan joined the bloods when he was 12 , but now considers involvement in gangs “self - genocide . ” his film , which he produced with antoine fuqua , the director of “training day , ” sustains the courage of this indictment . it has its premiere tonight on hbo .
the two men eventually float to the shore passed out , but choong - gil wakes up first to go search for young - sook . he walks back to the town to look for young - sook while crying hysterically , but it’s too late for she had already left to seoul . he suffers a mental breakdown upon learning this and continue to bawl at the disappearance of young - sook .
i really love the movie ! especially the song at the ending hahaha . you guys should watch so young 2 : never gone too
can ' t wait for this movie . . . . . . . . . . bo young and lee jong suk . omg
even though it wasn’t always clear to us as an audience , i love that young sook cared for joong gil through it all .
tellingly , even though young sook is portrayed as a big gang leader and everything , we don’t actually see her stirring up trouble .
while some viewers might find it cliched that joong gil and young sook only get their happy ending after a time skip , i actually found it a more believable writing choice , than if joong gil had upped and gone to seoul to find young sook right away .
meanwhile , gwang - sik and young - sook are hanging out with each other at a bonfire . gwang - sik pushes forth the idea that maybe he and young - sook can start making some progress in their friendship , but she doesn’t seem to like it . he assumes it’s because of another guy who he is willing to hurt so that young - sook will only be his . possessive much ?
i was expecting kim young kwang to have a more significant role in this movie , but unfortunately he was greatly overshadowed by the two leads , lee jong seok and park bo young . lee jong seok ' s bumbling lover boy character did deliver some laughs , especially when faced with kim young kwang ' s gangster character . but the standout was park bo young - don ' t be fooled by her baby face , she can strike fear in the heart of any man with her punches and vulgarities . quite a transformation from her previous roles .
running turtle director lee yeon - woo is at the helm of a new film which began production earlier this month . blood boiling youth ( literal title ) is a romantic comedy pairing two of korea’s most popular young stars , park bo - young and lee jong - suk .
bo young is fine . the one that captures my attention is lee jong suk . he was so natural from head to toe : d
later on that evening , young - sook ends up joining choong - gil instead of so - hee , causing choong - gil to of course be disappointed . when he reveals that he likes so - hee because she’s beautiful ( implying that he thinks young - sook isn’t ) , she leaves choong - gil at the hotel mad and furious . ( don’t worry young - sook , you’re beautiful to me ! ) .
the next day at school , choong - gil’s friend hwang - kyu ( played by park jung min ) is forced to share with young - sook what type of things choong - gil likes and has interest in . she ends up getting choong - gil a pair of new sneakers which he doesn’t approve of and want . when choong - gil confronts young - sook about the shoes , he pretends to act like he doesn’t want it , but when young - sook threatens to take it back , he makes up an excuse to young - sook so that he can keep it . haha . and young - sook knows that choong - gil likes her gift , smirking after he leaves the classroom . hehe .
this film is so exciting and i love park bo young and also lee jong suk . . love it to the maxxx . daebakkk ! !
gang , views young sook as his woman . a new female transfer student from seoul arrives at their high school . she ' s different from the other girls and beautiful . joong gil falls for her instantly , while young sook attempts to prevent the new girl from encroaching on her secret crush . trouble also brews for joong gil as gwang shik becomes aware of young sook stepping in between joong gil and the new transfer student .
gwang - sik ends up fighting choong - gil’s classmate once the train lands as they are known for being enemies . when the fight ends , choong - gil is about to leave but turns around to find young - sook behind him . he explains to young - sook that he didn’t meet her the night before because he doesn’t have any interest in her like that and because he fears gwang - sik who claims young - sook as his . “this thing between us is not love . it’s a threat , “ choong - gil voices , offending young - sook who clenches her fists .
actor lee jong - suk and actress park bo - young will be acting together in the film
boiling youth ,
lotte entertainment said tuesday .
a new female transfer student ( lee se - young ) from seoul arrives at their high school . she ' s different from the other girls and beautiful . joong - gil falls for her instantly , while young - sook attempts to prevent the new girl from encroaching on her secret crush . trouble also brews for joong - gil as gwang - sik becomes aware of young - sook stepping in between joong - gil and the new transfer student .
this is gonna be fuunnnn ! ! ! so excited for this movie . . . park bo young , fighting ! ! ! ! ! ^ ^
a new female transfer student ( lee se - young ) from seoul arrives at their high school . she ' s different from the other girls and beautiful . joong - gil falls for her instantly , while young - sook attempts to prevent the new girl from encroaching on her secret crush . trouble also brews for joong - gil as gwang - sik becomes aware of young - sook stepping in between joong - gil and the new transfer student .
you don’t hear this from mr . sloan , who talks more about his banger brother , who went to prison for life , and died young .
when you’re young and discovering the opposite sex , you tend to fixate on . . things , and also tend to be inordinately amused by those things .
in fact , that whole fight that she had with so hee was something that so hee started . young sook had merely acted in self - defense .
young sook tries to go between them . but than gwang - sik becomes aware that
his woman
is interested in joong - gil . . .
set in the 80s , a countryside high school teen named , joong - gil , is the biggest heartthrob in town . young - sook , the girlfriend of the school’s toughest bully , has a crush on joong - gil , but he shows her no interest . one day , so - hee , an innocent looking girl , moves into town . young - sook thinks of so - hee as her rival and picks a fight with her . meanwhile , young - sook’s boyfriend suspects ties between young - sook and joong - gil and harasses so - hee , whom joong - gil has a crush on . joo . . .
hey there jedd ! i am not entirely sure , but i suspect that the girl at the factory was so hee , played by lee se young . 🙂
we then find young - sook approaching another group of girls from another school as if they’re going to get ready to beat one another up anytime soon . the leaders of each group come to the front of their own groups to confront each other and so you have young - sook marching towards the front and the leader from the other group standing in the front as well . soon they’re face to face with each other but are distracted by the bicycle couple who are still riding away on the bicycle . annoyed , young - sook criticizes the male student’s face which angers the leader from the other group who then throws a punch at young - sook’s face as a consequence for her harsh comment . but young - sook isn’t the leader of her crew for nothing for she attacks the girl back and knocks her out cold just like that ( there goes my park bo young ! keke ) . the two groups end up fighting one another and war breaks out .
mr . sloan begins with a myth : that gangs like the bloods and the crips started in 1972 , when they formed in response to a dispute over a leather jacket . that’s rubbish . the film shows that gang animosity in los angeles dates to the 1940s and ’50s , when the police had set up an extortion racket on central avenue to bilk the black music clubs .
young - sook escapes to her village and recalls memories of the past between her and choong - gil . they were childhood friends and classmates when they were younger so that’s how they know each other . young - sook remembers the one time when choong - gil gave her his compass so that she wouldn’t get in trouble for not having hers . he ends up getting in trouble for not having his compass later on at school that day , but he remains strong and reassures young - sook that he is fine .
i absolutely love this movie and the fights were very good ! also jun soo jin looked super sexy and looked like a real bad girl i would love to see her in action movies . * spoiler * i loved the fact that joong gil ( lee jong suk ) could never really stand up to gwang sik ( young - kwang ) even when he wanted to fight him because of so hee ( se - young ) he tried but was still a wimp about it and did nothing but when it came to young sook ( park bo young ) he was able to actually fight without fear . i think that part is very meaningful because it showed how much she really meant to him .
a radio dj / entertainer in his 30s suddenly learns he may be a grandfather , thanks to a young girl who has a baby son and claims to be his daughter .
all the students exiting off the train walks past the three friends , including the girl teacher that choong - gil landed on as well as young - sook and her sidekick .
both joong gil and young sook needed to sort out their inner turmoil and figure out who they were as people , before they were ready to come together as a couple .
even when joong gil was chasing every other girl around , i believe that young sook knew – or at least , wanted to believe – that he was made of better stuff .
thanks azure , i’m glad you enjoyed the movie , and this review ! 🙂 i really enjoy lee jong suk and park bo young as well . they’re both such talented actors .
“aegyo is how i live this world , ” he continued with his killing smile , making the audience laugh . “maybe it’s because i started my model career when i was young . ”
oh . em . gee . . . . this movie was daebak hilarious ! . . . . seriously . . . and the music was just divine . . . ljs , what a talent . . . . he was exceptionally funny , boom ! ! . . . i watched this today ( hot young bloods ) because of my new found admiration for kyk , whom i thought did well here too , lovin the sleek - oily - hair - look . . . ( the flares , omg the flared pants . . . waaat ! ) . i have always been enthralled by ljs in many of his roles , hes just super cute and a great actor . cant believe this was done 3years ago . . . such amazing talents and look where they are now . . . congratulations guys , you all did well and i look forward to seeing so much more , kahmsamnida . . . actually this movie is one of my favorites now too , amazing absolutely , thank you so much , fighting ! ! !
so - hee confirms with choong - gil whether what she heard about young - sook liking choong - gil is true or not to which he responds , “don’t say something so scary like that . ” lol . he adds that someone just made it up and that it holds no truth . ugh , really choong - gil ? ! you’re just going to ignore young - sook like that ? tsk tsk tsk . meanwhile , young - sook finally lets her feelings out as she cries over the sight of choong - gil and so - hee together back at the restaurant .
before the time skip , joong gil is a big hot mess of a character , with a lot of baggage to sort through . after the time skip , when we come back to him , he’s clearly a more settled , mature version of himself . there’s groundedness and resolve in his eyes . he has set his heart on what he wants to do , and it’s gratifying to see him go for it .
the movie begins by following two high students riding on a bicycle . they continue to ride through the fields with the male student continually looking back at the female student in concern , but smiling when he finds her happy and content . the ride comes to an abrupt stop though when the couple notices young - sook ( park bo young ) , the bad - ass and frightening leader that harbors a crush on our male student . young - sook also notices the couple and grows annoyed at the sight of her crush with another woman , but she goes on to mind her own business .
everyone is surprised and taken aback , but the one person that is probably the most infuriated at this point is young - sook who watches all of this unfold right in front of her eyes .
after eating at the hotel with her friends , young - sook returns home only to find visitors / customers there ( she sleeps at her restaurant ) . she waits for a while until they leave and then enters her house . young - sook cooks a small meal for a frequent customer even though it’s late at night without saying a single word to him then leaves afterwards to enter her bedroom .
if you would like to read my other thoughts on this movie , i wrote a ‘what mary thinks’ edition on this movie a few months ago so you can read that here . but all in all , although ‘hot blooded youth’ did provide me with laughter , smiles , and tears , i honestly admit that i wouldn’t want to watch it a third time around . i think watching it two times is good enough for me .
set in the 80s , a countryside high school teen named , joong - gil , is the biggest heartthrob in town . young - sook , the girlfriend of the school’s toughest bully , has a crush on joong - gil , but he shows her no interest . one day , so - hee , an innocent looking girl , moves into town . young - sook thinks of so - hee as her rival and picks a fight with her . meanwhile , young - sook’s boyfriend suspects ties between young - sook and joong - gil and harasses so - hee , whom joong - gil has a crush on . joong - gil tries to get revenge for so - hee’s sake , but gets beaten down every time . at last , joong - gil decides to have his ultimate battle of revenge aboard a running commuter train .
the actress park plays ‘young - sook ' , the school ' s top girl gangster , and the actor lee plays ‘joong - gil ' , the school ' s legendary casanova at hongseong agricultural high school .
in her bedroom , young - sook studies a small but cherished geometry compass that she’s kept to this day . she caresses it while she holds it , reminded of all the memories that the compass encompasses .
mr . sloan now says this was a “ghetto folktale , ” but it fractured the movement . the crips and the bloods , the gangs that formed in the 1970s , are seen by mr . sloan as the bastard children of the political organizations of the ’60s . “out of the ashes of the black panther party came the gangs , ” he says . the crips had a sketchy plan for social reform and inventive forms of pageantry ; they also had a constitution .
i’m not sure how others feel about our second leads , but i really disliked them . so - hee was pretty two - faced which was evident in the bathroom scene where she was fighting young - sook . young - sook didn’t strip so - hee’s clothes off ; so - hee took off her own clothes so that she could prepare to fight young - sook . then when choong - gil came inside the restroom , so - hee pretended to act like she was all innocent and faultless and like she was getting beatened up by young - sook when she herself was the person who initiated the fight . like seriously ? ! i mean young - sook isn’t all that good either , but at least she doesn’t pretend to act all cute and innocent and stays tough and bossy throughout the whole movie , displaying a consistent image and role . as for gwang - sik , he was just waaayyyy too obsessive over young - sook and way too possessive . it’s funny how he didn’t realize that young - sook never liked him until the end of the movie . he was too blind and delusional to realize that young - sook never cared for him . and plus , the majority of the scenes that we saw him in was of him either fighting or beating choong - gil up . the movie didn’t really offer to introduce their background stories either which is why they seem hateful to me . we don’t really know much about our second leads other than that so - hee moved to the countryside because of her health and that gwang - sik claimed young - sook who was never his to begin with . if the movie had given some background information on our second leads and the obstacles or problems they faced to become the tough and rugged person they are , maybe i would pity them a little , but because the movie didn’t , i just ended the movie feeling bitter and hateful towards them , lol .
i love this movies . . i love park boyoung the most one . . haha . . i love all the scene that boyoung unnie act . . all the gang scene . . haha . . its too live and natural acting i ever see . . all over it , i really love and i hope that bo young will have a character like this again . . haha lol ! park bo young fighting ! !
this is my second comment , i don ' t know why the first one didn ' t comes out . it looks funny movie , i wish blood boiling youth will be a memorable movie in early 2014 . yeeee . . . . ! ! ! lee jong suk , kim young kwang , long legs man collaboration . so sad kim young kwang will not going to promote this movie with others due his military duty .

his two friends does relay to young - sook though that choong - gil’s in danger because of gwang - sik so she goes to rescue him . choong - gil is able to leave gwang - sik with just a few injuries on his face because of young - sook who stops and threatens gwang - sik . she meets up with choong - gil f a few minutes later and they walk together back home , but choong - gil doesn’t want young - sook’s help or for her to be around him . he walks ahead of her to avoid her presence , but stops when she pulls out the compass asking him if he remembers it .
young - sook can’t stand to stay in the warehouse any longer so she walks back home . while on her walk home , she meets gwang - sik who questions her on where she’s going and whether or not she met up with choong - gil . young - sook answers that yes , they met up and actually did something together too which pisses gwang - sik off even more . she walks away unaffected by his anger though .
i definitely enjoyed the more serious , dramatic , and emotional scenes in this movie , with most of them revolving around the childhood memories and the past . it was only then that we were able to get a better understanding of our characters . the young - sook that was an elementary kid was not the same young - sook that was in high school . the same can be applied to choong - gil and their relationship which was not the same when they were in elementary school and when they were in high school . a lot of things changed between choong - gil and young - sook and i wished the film could have shown us on how they drifted apart instead of forcing us to watch choong - gil flirt and play around with girls ( which i understand is his main feature and characteristic , but it got really boring and tiring ) . i enjoyed watching young young - sook and choong - gil interact with each other as friends , because it proves that they were close at one point , but what i think the film should have done was show us how they became distant .
but the movie felt slightly directionless - probably due to a combination of the writing and the directing . the character and relationship development were half - hearted , especially between lee jong seok and park bo young ' s characters .
the principal meets up with so - hee’s father and young - sook’s mother so that they can talk about the fight and reach a consensus , but they themselves end up arguing . fed up and exhausted , young - sook runs out of the office to get her belongings in her classroom and walks out of the school campus . while she walks out , choong - gil watches her from inside his classroom and ponders over her attitude plus behavior .
later on that night , young - sook dresses up really nicely ( she’s wearing a dress ! how cute ! ) and checks her make - up in the mirror while waiting at choong - gil’s ‘base . ’ young - sook grows happy at the sound of footsteps but becomes disappointed when it’s not the person that she wants . it turns out that choong - gil had an emergency so he sent his friend instead to go to the base to relay the message . disappointed , she walks towards the door but is interrupted by choong - gil’s friend who has other plans instead . he places his hand on young - sook’s behind and puts on a creepy smile which infuriates young - sook and causes her to beat choong - gil’s friend up pretty bad . ( yeah dude , you’re messing with the wrong person . but it’s okay choong - gil’s friend ! i would have you anytime ! ) .
his efforts to capture so - hee’s heart goes to waste though for young - sook always ends up ruining his plans and stealing the gifts he got for so - hee . lol . just acknowledge and accept young - sook’s feelings already choong - gil ! haha . when he finds so - hee feeding some rabbits that she seems to like , he ends up getting her those rabbits without her knowing who got it for her and why , but she accepts it regardless . meanwhile , young - sook notices the sneakers that she originally bought for choong - gil being worn by gwang - sik and grows angry because she didn’t buy it for gwang - sik in the first place .
here is a little quick summary for you guys before i go ahead and start on the recap . it’s a version of my own summary for the movie since i’ve watched it before . hehe . so i apologize if it sounds really funny and weird . ‘hot blooded youth’ takes place in the early 1980′s and showcases the lives of our four main characters : young - sook ( played by park bo young ) , joong - chil ( played by lee jong suk ) , so - hee ( played by lee se young ) , and gwang - sik ( played by kim young - kwang ) . to put it into simpler terms , the movie revolves around a love square . gwang - sik likes young - sook who likes joong - chil who likes so - hee . young - sook is the jjang or iljin of her high school . she’s basically like the bad - ass leader that most of the girls obey out of fear . she’s tough , bad - ass , and can drop kick a guy twice her height . yeah , i would be scared of her too . joong - chil is this really witty guy who uses his own method to capture the fluttering hearts of girls . he’s suave and smooth when it comes to girls , but not so much when it comes to fighting as many times in this movie , he always comes home with a bruised face . so - hee is that new student who transferred from seoul that many of the guys spazz over , including joong - chil . so he tries his own tactics to get at her and almost succeeds . last but not least , gwang - sik is the iljin or leader of his mob and he harbors this crush ( but more like possession ) over young - sook , claiming her to be his and when he discovers that there might be someone else interfering in their relationship , he gets super angry and scary . sooo basically you don’t want to mess with him either . the movie ultimately showcases the complex relationships between all our four lead characters and the journey that they embark on together .
her gaze betrays layers of hurt even though she never speaks of them . and even though young sook’s first instinct is always to protect her pride , she’s bold and gutsy and never shies away from tough situations or difficult decisions .
can you help me out with something though ? i had been frantically searching for the song that was used at the beginning of the movie . the one that was played in the background when joong gil was riding a bicycle . also there were more songs like this throughout the movie , like when joong gil was about to kiss young sook but gets caught by lee se young . can you please tell me the name of the song and the singer ?
so fcuking good . . . so so good . . . you just can ' t even - - ugh . the parts towards the end was just damn . great performance from lee jong suk and park bo young : - )
choong - gil and young - sook’s school have just returned from another trip and is heading back to school . while on the train , choong - gil’s friends expose to him details they’ve obtained of the new transfer student from seoul ( creepy much eh ? ) . her name is so - hee ( lee se young ) which means ‘rain’ in korean , so upon hearing this , choong - gil’s friend asks if it’s raining and looks outside the window . hahaha .
so - hee confronts young - sook on how troublesome she is and they end up fighting each other . although the crowd that has formed outside of the girl’s restroom just watches them fight in amazement , choong - gil comes to stop them from continuing on any further . he accuses young - sook of stripping so - hee’s clothes off of her when he comes to rescue so - hee ( who feigns weakness and fear ) and takes her out of the restroom .
set in the early 1980 ' s in heongseong , south korea . young sook is the feared leader of a female gang at the high school . although she is known for her toughness , she has a secret crush on joong gil . meanwhile , joong gil is the school ' s playboy . he attempts to woo all the girls at his high school except for young sook . that ' s because gwang shik , the feared leader of a rival school ' s male
park bo - young and kim young - kwang are set to co - star in the upcoming romantic drama your wedding ( translated title ) . in the film’s plot , soo - jeong ( kim ) receives a wedding invitation from his first love seung - hee ( park ) . the film chronicles the 10 - year relationship of the two , beginning with their high school years and following them into adulthood . your wedding marks a return to the silver screen . . .
so - hee is dissatisfied at first , but roller skating with choong - gil turns out to be a great time for her . she gets to witness clumsy choong - gil make a fool out of himself by continually falling and trying to impress her by pretending like he knows how to roller skate when really he doesn’t . their date continues when they visit the town to get something to eat . while walking and talking casually , they come across young - sook’s who working at her mom’s restaurant . young - sook notices choong - gil and so - hee together , but doesn’t say a word . the hurt and sorrowful look in her eyes already conveys enough . ( aw , poor young - sook ) .
he goes to talk and chill with young - sook in hopes of maybe cheering her up . he takes notice of her injured and pale face , but she tells him to not worry . choong - gil allows her to sleep at his base for the night since young - sook doesn’t want to return home , especially since her mom knows that she got into a fight . they discuss about graduation and college which then leads them to their next conversation which is about their childhood memories . we learn that choong - gil wasn’t always ladies’s man when he was younger and actually had good grades while our young - sook hasn’t changed much . she would always copy choong - gil’s homework and had bad grades . haha , too cute . young - sook encourages choong - gil to go home while she gets ready to sleep . he leaves her alone in his base , but goes back to bring her a bag of medicine since he’s worried about her .
kim young kwang ( once again ) is completely believable as a violent dumb jock . i found gwang sik so reminiscent of his character in white christmas , really , except this time he’s rocking the slicked - back elvis - esque hair .
i did not expect this movie to be as good as it was . the characters are so well written and well played . the end was so corny and yet so perfect . park bo young and lee jung suk are so good togerher .
and that is how a boy becomes a man ! my poor little young sook t . t had given everything . one of the most epic moment in this movie is when joong gil realized what he lost and gained a shock that changed him forever . the bully - fightback scene is just karma , happens everywhere and its so normal in my eyes . i want to meet my young sook too , i will keep searching for her and will not live a coward like joong gil did .

who were the hollywood ten ? this 1950 documentary gives us a closer look at the ten blacklisted film writers and directors who defied the government and the sentiments of their day by refusing to testify during the huac anti - communist hearings . john berry , who directed the documentary , was blacklisted himself upon its release .

in 1933 , while writing b movies , including several in the charlie chan series , he co - founded the screen writers guild ( with future hollywood ten collaborators john howard lawson and samuel ornitz ) , the first of the hollywood guilds . the following year cole joined the communist party and remained a committed marxist throughout his life .

in october 1947 , 10 members of the hollywood film industry publicly denounced the tactics employed by the house un - american activities committee ( huac ) , an investigative committee of the u . s . house of representatives , during its probe of alleged communist influence in the american motion picture business . these prominent screenwriters and directors , who became known as the hollywood ten , received jail sentences and were banned from working for the major hollywood studios . their defiant stands also placed them at center stage in a national debate over the controversial anti - communist crackdown that swept through the united states in the late 1940s and early 1950s . besides the hollywood ten , other members of the film industry with alleged communist ties were later banned from working for the big movie studios . the hollywood blacklist came to an end in the 1960s .

there had still been no conclusive proof presented that any of the hollywood ten were a subversive threat . but they had not done themselves any favors by refusing to answer questions . there was a pervasive sense , in the media at least , that a man wouldn’t invoke his right to silence unless he had something to hide . as one of the hollywood ten , edward dmytryk , wrote later , “it was clear to those who listened that the unfriendly witnesses were behaving as communists could be expected to behave . ”

three weeks later , on the same day congress voted 346 to 17 to indict the hollywood ten for contempt of congress , johnston called a meeting of 50 film executives at the waldorf - astoria in new york . he said they had two options : continue to do nothing , which wasn’t working out too well for anyone , or appease hollywood’s critics by purging the industry of known communists .

ome names on a list of the hollywood ten may ring a bell among movie buffs , but for many they’re as unfamiliar as a dynastic recital from the old testament . they were the “unfriendly witnesses” who appeared before the house un - american activities committee , summoned after huac had interviewed 41 willing “friendlies” .

five days after the close of the hearings , the screen writers guild held elections in which a slate of anti - communists won in a landslide , a sign that much had changed since the beginning of the hearings , and that hollywood on the whole had been duly frightened . another sign of the same came that very day , when the mpaa’s eric johnston , who had declared victory on behalf of the hollywood ten a few days earlier , told the hollywood reporter that the 10 had performed a “tremendous disservice” to their industry . it was time that the studios , johnston said , “take positive steps to meet this problem . ”

dmytryk also revealed how people such as john howard lawson , adrian scott and albert maltz had put him under pressure to make sure his films expressed the views of the communist party . this was particularly damaging to those members of the original hollywood ten were at that time involved in court cases with their previous employers . if these people refused to name names , they were added to a blacklist that had been drawn up by the hollywood film studios .
as a member of the hollywood ten , ornitz’s refusal to answer questions at the huac hearings in october 1947 resulted in a 12 - month sentence . while serving his time at the federal prison in springfield , vt . , he published his most successful novel , bride of the sabbath ( 1951 ) . he never worked in film again .

all refused to answer , pleading the first amendment . they form a moving gallery , evoking the period of cold war fear and injustice in the history of hollywood and the us . the stories of this multitalented group , before and after the hollywood blacklist , form a collective testimony to the price paid for sincere political convictions .
three years later , the huac committee handed him the shortest sentence of the hollywood ten — six months in the minimum - security texarcana , texas , prison that housed fellow defendant alvah bessie . biberman’s wife , gale sondergaard , who won a best supporting actress oscar for her role in anthony adverse ( 1936 ) , also refused to testify before the huac and was blacklisted .
house un - american activities committee ( huac ) , committee of the u . s . house of representatives , established in 1938 under martin dies as chairman , that conducted investigations through the 1940s and ’50s into alleged communist activities . those investigated included many artists and entertainers , including the hollywood ten , elia kazan , pete seeger , bertolt brecht , and…
the hollywood ten were controversial figures at the time they launched their protest , and their actions continue to inspire debate decades later . some tend to view their punishment as justified , since the individuals were admitted communists , while others generally view them as heroic figures who spoke out against the abuses of the red scare–and in defense of the u . s . constitution–when many of their colleagues remained silent .
lawson worked during the first world war as a volunteer ambulance driver in italy and publicity director for the american red cross . he became a broadway playwright , began his hollywood career in 1920 , and joined the communist party in 1933 . as first president of the screen writers guild , lawson was seen as the ideological driver of the hollywood ten . his oscar - nominated script for blockade ( 1938 ) was denounced by catholic organisation the knights of columbus as “marxist propaganda” . after serving his huac sentence he wrote just two scripts , including , pseudonymously , the british cry the beloved country ( 1951 ) ; he taught at several universities , writing a counter - critique of hollywood propaganda in film .
before he was dispatched to the federal lockup in ashland , ky . — the same facility that housed adrian scott and dalton trumbo , fellow members of the hollywood ten — he recruited his friend michael blankfort to front for him on an adaptation of his 1944 novel the cross and the arrow , which became the film broken arrow , starring james stewart . the sympathetic treatment of native americans in the western earned maltz an oscar nomination for adapted screenplay .

the hollywood ten
to raise money for the defense of that group , including ring lardner jr . and dalton trumbo , who were cited for contempt of congress for refusing to divulge their political affiliations .
from the 1950s through the early 1970s , dmytryk continued to direct studio films , including raintree country ( 1957 ) , a remake of the blue angel ( 1959 ) and the carpetbaggers ( 1964 ) . after his film career tapered off , he taught film and directing at the university of texas at austin and the university of southern california film school . in 1966 he published a book about his blacklist experiences , odd man out : a memoir of the hollywood ten .

although biberman never gained great success in hollywood , his involvement in politics , especially his early stand against fascism , earned him the wrath of the house un - american activities committee ( huac ) . in 1947 , biberman refused to answer the committee’s questions on constitutional grounds . his punishment was a $ 1 , 000 fine and a six - month sentence , half of what many others got . while his wife , the oscar - winning actress gale sondergaard , was not part of the original hollywood ten , she was also brought before huac , refused to testify , and later blacklisted .
thomas was bluffing here . in the midst of the hearings , the mpaa demanded that the committee furnish the list they had implied they possessed of so - called subversive films produced by hollywood studios . the committee would not name the names of the films that ostensibly were the reason for the hearings . on the second day of testimony , thomas declared he had a list of 79 people in hollywood who were definitely communists . he never released that list , either .
a more lasting punishment came as a result of the movie industry blacklist . studio executives did not want their business to be associated with radical politics in the minds of the movie - going public and therefore agreed that they would not employ the hollywood ten ( with the exception of dmytryk ) or anyone else suspected of being affiliated with the communist party . the motion picture industry blacklist grew steadily larger as congress continued its investigations into the 1950s , and numerous careers were damaged as a result . the blacklist ended in the 1960s .
screenwriter / producer adrian scott was among the first ten hollywood people to be called before the house un - american activities committee in the 1947 . his name was provided to the committee by director / producer edward dmytryk , with whom scott had worked for many years . after refusing to testify , scott was sentenced to a year in prison . following his release , scott was blacklisted and never worked in films again . - - sandra brennan [ from the
although lardner allowed his party membership to lapse in the 1950s , he said in an interview with the new york times that “i ' ve never regretted my association with communism . i still think that some form of socialism is a more rational way to organize a society , but i recognize it hasn ' t worked anywhere yet . ” he died in manhattan in 2000 at age 85 , the last surviving member of the hollywood ten .
in 1932 he moved to hollywood to work with 17 other writers on one of hollywood’s first all - star extravaganzas , the w . c . fields comedy if i had a million . the two successful plays cole had written in new york landed him a five - year , $ 250 - a - week contract with paramount .
john berry , a blacklisted hollywood director who made the classic film noir
he ran all the way
and then largely moved his career to europe , has died . he was 82 .
along with lester coles and john howard lawson , ornitz was a key figure in the founding of the screen writers guild . a vocal supporter of the soviet union , ornitz was one of the most outspoken political figures in hollywood .

the son of a famed humorist , screenwriter ring lardner , jr . ( born ringgold wilmer lardner , jr . ) started out as a reporter for the new york daily mirror . prior to that , he had briefly attended princeton . he eventually became a publicist for david selznick in hollywood and after that worked uncredited as a script doctor before becoming a full - fledged screenwriter working alone or in collaboration . lardner shared an oscar in 1942 for woman of the year and his career looked quite promising until he refused to cooperate with the witch - hunts of the house un - american activities committee and became one of the hollywood ten . for his refusal , lardner spent a year in prison and then was blacklisted until the mid ' 60s . though officially banned from hollywood , lardner continued working under pseudonyms and also worked uncredited . lardner made a big comeback in 1970 when he wrote the script for
in 1947 , at the height of his career , scott was subpoenaed to testify at the huac hearings ( he had joined the communist party in 1944 ) . he became one of the hollywood ten when he refused to answer the committee’s questions on first amendment grounds . while waiting a court ruling , scott moved to london to look for work but decided to return when the courts refused to overturn huac’s contempt charge . he noted that “nine of us couldn’t go into court with the 10th on the lam . that would have made it impossible for the rest who were left . ”

hollywood ten
when he was accused of having ties to the communist party and was sentenced to a year in prison for contempt of congress . following his imprisonment , dymtryk was blacklisted in the u . s . , so he directed three films in england , but returned to the states in 1951 . upon his return he went before the house un - american activities committee again , this time as a
friendly

. his career came to a halt in 1947 , when he was summoned before the house un - american activities committee . he refused to deny or confirm involvement in the communist party , and in 1950 he became one of the hollywood ten when he was imprisoned and blacklisted . in 1965 , bessie wrote a book about his experience with the huac , inquisition in eden . he wrote another book in 1975 , spain again , which chronicled his experiences as a co - writer and actor in a spanish movie of the same name . his

when the house un - american activities committee called alvah bessie to the witness stand in 1947 , he was ready to give them a piece of his mind . “i will never aid or abet such a committee in its patent attempt to foster the sort of intimidation and terror that is the inevitable precursor of a fascist regime ,

only 11 of the “unfriendly” witnesses were called to testify in the fall of 1947 , and 10 of them—a group that became known as the hollywood ten—shared legal counsel . they had agreed beforehand that they would not answer any questions about their party membership or other affiliations , because their whole defense was based on the idea that congress had no right to pry into their lives , their beliefs , or their practice of assembly . also , they knew that the committee could use their admitted allegiance to any social group or professional guild against them , and against any fellow members of those groups .
in 1947 roy m . brewer was appointed to the motion picture industry council . at this time the house of un - american activities committee ( huac ) , chaired by j . parnell thomas , began an investigation into the hollywood motion picture industry . the huac interviewed 41 people who were working in hollywood . these people attended voluntarily and became known as
friendly witnesses
. during their interviews they named nineteen people who they accused of holding left - wing views .
stanley kubrick directed a cast of screen legends—including kirk douglas as the indomitable gladiator that led a roman slave revolt—in the sweeping epic that defined a genre and ushered in a new hollywood era . the assured acting , lush technicolor cinematography , bold costumes , and visceral fight sequences won spartacus four oscars ; the blend of politics and sexual suggestion scandalized audiences . today kubrick ' s controversial classic , the first film to openly defy hollywood ' s blacklist , remains a landmark of cinematic artistry and history .

screenwriter lester cole will go down in cinema history as a member of the original
hollywood ten ,
one of the first unfortunate people in the film industry to be black - listed by the house anti - american activities committee in 1947 . cole , the son of polish immigrants , began writing and directing plays at age 16 after he dropped out of high school . during the 1920s and ' 30s he worked as an actor on stage and screen before embarking on his screenwriting career . while in hollywood , he was a union activist and became a co - founder of the screen writers guild in 1933 . he was later black - balled for challenging the committee ' s right to interrogate him about his political beliefs . he then served 1 year in prison , leaving behind an unfinished script that was later finished by john steinbeck for kazan ' s
the hollywood ten paid a high price for their actions at the huac hearings . in november 1947 , they were cited for contempt of congress . facing trial on that charge in april 1948 , each man was found guilty and sentenced to spend a year in prison and pay a $ 1 , 000 fine . after unsuccessfully appealing the verdicts , they began serving their terms in 1950 . while in prison , one member of the group , edward dmytryk , decided to cooperate with the government . in 1951 , he testified at a huac hearing and provided the names of more than 20 industry colleagues he claimed were communists .
once cleared by huac , dmytryk found work immediately . producer stanley krammer hired him to direct three films : the 1952 creepy psychopathic killer film the sniper ; the 1953 postwar psychodrama the juggler ( with kirk douglas ) ; and the 1954 critically acclaimed court martial drama the caine mutiny . dmytryk worked steadily through the fifties and sixties , mostly helming action and suspense films . in the ‘70s , the jobs abruptly stopped coming . he began a second career teaching filmmaking at the university of texas and the university of southern california . in 1996 , dmytryk once again tried to clear his name with odd man out : a memoir of the hollywood ten in which he blames his compatriots for refusing to bend to huac’s demands . he died three years later .
the individual in rebellion against monolithic power : that was a familiar trumbo theme , and it makes one wonder how trumbo could ever have flirted with communism or considered himself a communist . unlike , say , john howard lawson (
success at any price
) , a member of the hollywood ten whose work was identifiably marxist , trumbo was more in the old tradition of american literature , which maintained faith in individual genius and asserted individual rights . trumbo ' s defiance of the committee , like his work , seems , in retrospect , more an act of patriotism than subversion .

at 15 dmytryk was working as a studio messenger . progressing to projectionist , film editor and director , he made murder , my sweet ( 1944 ) based on raymond chandler’s farewell , my lovely . he joined the communist party and was summoned to testify in 1947 – the year he was oscar - nominated for crossfire . he resisted huac’s questions but , after fleeing to england , revealed 26 names and escaped the blacklist . he went on to make films such as the caine mutiny ( 1954 ) , the young lions ( 1958 ) and the carpetbaggers ( 1964 ) . haunted by the episode , he wrote a book in 1966 titled odd man out : a memoir of the hollywood ten .
the son of polish immigrants and a high school dropout from new york city , lester cole thought he’d found his american dream in hollywood . originally working as a stage actor , cole eventually moved to hollywood picking up parts in several silent films , like love at first glance and painted faces . by the ‘30s , he moved over to writing , penning a number of b - movies , including several in the charlie chan series . while he worked steadily inside the hollywood machine , he also pushed for workers’ rights . in 1933 , he was instrumental in reviving the screen writers guild , the union that would eventually become the writers guild of america . his organizing gained him the unfavorable moniker “hollywood red” by studio execs . the next year , cole confirmed the title when he officially joined the communist party . while he mostly hammered out scripts for crime genres and melodramas , he was quick to add a socially conscious message when possible . the 1936 thriller the president’s mystery , for example , includes a scene with workers storming a cannery yelling , “everybody works , everybody shares . ” and in the ‘40s , cole excelled in dramatizing anti - fascist sentiments in films like hostages and none shall escape . in 1946 , his career appeared ready to take off when mgm , hollywood’s most prestigious studio , put him under contract . then the house committee on un - american activities ( huac ) subpoenaed him .
rich had the best possible reason of all not to be present : he did not exist . he was a pseudonym , one of many , for dalton trumbo , a blacklisted writer . one of the hollywood ten , trumbo had gone to prison in 1950 for refusing to answer questions by the house un - american activities committee , which was trying to root out communism in the motion picture industry . upon his release 10 months later , he could find no work under his own name , but scratched together a living by turning out scripts either under fake names or for fellow writers , who fronted for him and funneled the money to him .
one of those named , bertolt brecht , an emigrant playwright , gave evidence and then left for east germany . ten others : herbert biberman , lester cole , albert maltz , adrian scott , samuel ornitz , dalton trumbo , edward dmytryk , ring lardner jr . , john howard lawson and alvah bessie refused to answer any questions .

the house un - american activities committee was charged with investigating allegations of communist influence and subversion in the u . s . during the early years of the cold war . committee members quickly settled their gaze on the hollywood film industry , which was seen as a hotbed of communist activity . this reputation originated in the 1930s , when the economic difficulties of the great depression increased the appeal of leftist organizations for many struggling actors and studio workers .
prison marked the end of bessie’s hollywood career . he moved to the bay area , where he wrote novels , edited a union newspaper and worked as publicist for arts organizations . for seven years he was the stage manager and soundman at san francisco’s hungry i nightclub , earning $ 70 a week .
i had long been convinced that the fight of the ten was political ; that the battle for freedom of thought , in which i believed that i was being forced to sacrifice my family and my career in defense of the communist party , from which i had long been separated and which i had grown to dislike and distrust . i knew that if it ever got down to a choice between the party and our traditional democratic structure i would fight the party and our traditional democratic structure i would fight the party to the bitter end .

with the exception of dmytryk , the group was severely blacklisted by the film industry . most were never again employed in hollywood , but some did write scripts under pseudonyms . as “robert rich , ” trumbo won an academy award oscar for best screenplay for the brave one ( 1956 ) . the red blacklist disappeared by the early 1960s , and trumbo and lardner subsequently wrote screenplays under their own names .

with the dawning of the cold war , anti - communist legislators grew concerned that the movie industry could serve as a source of subversive propaganda . although popular hollywood films of the 1930s and 1940s offered little evidence of an overriding socialist agenda , the investigation proceeded . in october 1947 , more than 40 people with connections to the movie industry received subpoenas to appear before huac on suspicion of holding communist loyalties or being involved in subversive activities .
during the investigative hearings , members of huac grilled the witnesses about their past and present associations with the communist party . aware that their answers could ruin their reputations and careers , most individuals either sought leniency by cooperating with investigators or cited their fifth amendment right against self - incrimination . however , a group of 10 hollywood screenwriters and directors took a different approach and openly challenged the legitimacy of the committee’s investigations .
just as his career was at an all time high , scott was called before the house committee on un - american activities ( huac ) to answer questions about being a member of the communist party , which he had joined in 1944 . as the hollywood ten waited to hear the court’s decision on their refusal to comply on first amendment grounds , scott moved to london to look for work . as things grew increasingly dark in the states , scott’s french and british friends urged him to stay . “they said they ' d hide me out , ” scott recalls . “i was tempted . it could have been arranged . but nine of us couldn ' t go into court with the tenth on the lam . that would have made it impossible for the rest who were left .
scott returned to be sentenced on september 27 , 1950 to a $ 1 , 000 fine and 12 months in the federal correctional institution , ashland , ky .

on the broader issues of alleged subversive and disloyal elements in hollywood , our members are likewise prepared to take positive action . we will not knowingly employ a communist or a member of any party or group which advocates the overthrow of the government of the united states by force or by illegal or unconstitutional methods . in pursuing this policy , we are not going to be swayed by hysteria or intimidation from any source . we are frank to recognize that such a policy involves dangers and risks . there is the danger of hurting innocent people . there is the risk of creating an atmosphere of fear . creative work at its best cannot be carried on in an atmosphere of fear . to this end we will invite the hollywood talent guilds to work with us to eliminate any subversives , to protect the innocent , and to safeguard free speech and a free screen wherever threatened .
