News of Yoo Yeon-seo’s attendance at the film festival was also known in Korea. Even the paparazzi, who realized that his photos could make money, followed him around and took real-time photos of him.
└The reviews for the profanity were good
└Wow, but Yoo Yeon-seo survives even in foreign cannons
└└ㄹㅇ This is the first time I’ve seen something look so pretty at the Getty
└Seriously Korean Beauty
└When will it be released in our country?
A preview screening was held before its release in Korea, and movie reviews and ratings from critics and media outlets were revealed.
The diary of a ‘person left behind’ written in a calm style – 4.3 stars
Running away can also be a solution. Good or bad. – Rating 3.9
Whose life is for? The weight of society carried by two men – Rating 4.6
And finally, ‘Killing in the Rain’ was officially released. Yoo Yeon-seo’s fans confirmed to the community by booking the earliest time, and Lim Seung-hyeon’s younger sister, Lim Hye-ju, did the same.
“Are you here? “I got a good seat.”
“of course.”
“It’s early morning and there are quite a lot of people. “Aren’t they all people like you?”
Of course that too. Lim Hye-joo brought a friend who had no interest in celebrities and sat her down next to her, and stared intently at her cell phone screen.
I went to the screening of 《Killing in the Rain》.
…What was especially surprising was the acting ensemble of the two lead actors.
Yoo Yeon-seo has grown as an actor by shedding the title of a talented actor, but he shows without filter that he has the potential to grow further like Hwang Min-jae, who he played in Murder in the Rain. Perhaps, Yoo Yeon-seo’s acting may have grown thanks to the circumstances that the actor was in.
‘What does this mean?’
Anyway, the acting reviews were all good. However, the work itself is calm and dull, and words like sadness and depression stand out, so I have to give up my expectations about the story.
‘I heard somewhere that it’s boring when a critic praises it…’
Anyway, the face is fun, so it doesn’t matter, right? Lim Hye-ju, who was writing a post on SNS in real time, suddenly raised her head and looked at the screen. It was a familiar advertising music advertisement for Juseong Motors’ electric vehicle.
Exclusive model Yoo Yeon-seo gets out of the car, showing off her long legs. Then I ran my finger over the bonnet of the car.
‘How can you even act with your fingers?’
Lim Hye-ju was inwardly trembling.
(Designing our lives.) As
the soft voice reciting the copy and the handsome face filled the screen, groans were heard throughout the theater.
“You’re really handsome.”
Of course, watching it on a big screen feels different. Lim Hye-joo, who had been covering her mouth and stamping her feet, opened her eyes brightly at the sound of her friend’s voice.
“yes? The behind-the-scenes footage from when that was filmed is also amazing. Did you take a pictorial too? That other version sucks too. Would you like to take a look?”
“Uh… uh, later.”
My friend looked at Lim Hye-joo with strange eyes as she suddenly became overwhelmed and explained her words incoherently, but soon passed through Lim Hye-joo’s chatter with one ear as if she was used to it.
After waiting for about 10 minutes, the lights in the theater slowly turned off and the movie started.
‘I’m really nervous.’
In the movie, after the scene where Hwang Dae-sik was on trial, the moment Yoo Yeon-seo finally appeared, a black person entered the field of vision and broke his concentration.
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
The man who came into the movie theater late apologized softly and sat down in the seat right in front of Lim Hye-ju.
‘What… you have no manners.’
It may be late. However, it felt bad to come in standing stiffly without even bowing. But even that was purified when I saw Hwang Min-jae’s scarred face on the screen. After all, a role needs a lot of blood, sweat and tears to look sad and have a story.
‘Wow… oh my god.’
Lim Hye-joo, who had been criticized for being calm and decided to just focus on appreciating Yoo Yeon-seo’s face, fell in love with the narrative of Hwang Dae-sik and Hwang Min-jae. I immersed myself in the movie, not even caring that my friend had to leave midway for the restroom.
And at the end of the movie, the back of Hwang Min-jae was shown walking down a wide street. Soon, the screen shows a sign hanging on a building. There were hospitals, photo studios, flower shops, academies, and decadent establishments. It seems to mean that he who is left behind has many options, good or bad.
After the movie ended, the two people who left the theater sobbed and rubbed their eyes. At the end of the movie, in the scene where Hwang Min-jae was sobbing while hugging his grandfather’s shoes, tears flowed like a faucet.
“How was the movie?”
“Oh, I hate new movies like this.”
“But you weren’t that new, were you? “It’s just sad.”
In the past, as movies with a similar trend poured in, audiences were tired of the Korean style. The actor plays music that is so heartbreaking and sad that it exhausts him. He reminisces about unfair and poor times that have nothing to do with the flow of the work, feels self-pity, and creates a feeling of despair.
‘Now, aren’t you sad? I felt repulsed by movies that openly told people to go ahead and cry, and looked down on them, saying, “Oh, it’s a typical new Korean movie.”
“If I were to ask, is it a well-made new wave movie?”
Lim Hye-joo was one of those who thought that way, but perhaps because she was a fan, the ‘killing of profanity’ was okay. There were no unnecessary flashbacks to the past, and instead the surrounding sounds were muted to allow more immersion in the actor’s performance.
‘So, did you hear everything I was talking about in this movie?’
Sometimes, even though it was a Korean movie, it was difficult to understand the lines. Is this also because my actor’s diction is perfect? Lim Hye-ju stamped her foot again.
“Anyway, I don’t like being sad. “If I’m going to watch something, I want to watch something light and fun.”
“Then let’s go see your favorite movie next time.”
Lim Hye-joo, who even bought her a meal as a reward for coming with her early in the morning, excitedly showed off a photo of Yoo Yeon-seo and made a sales pitch to her friend.
“But did you see the man sitting in front of us? “I could hear all the sobbing.”
Lim Hye-ju was distracted by the late man who was whimpering and shaking his head. It was so loud that even the person sitting in the seat in front of him turned around.
“……no.”
Lim Hye-ju noticed something strange when she saw her friend’s expression. My friend went to the bathroom midway and unintentionally encountered the expression on the face of the person in front of him.
“what’s the matter?”
“That person was smiling. “I feel bad.”
“……really?”
“uh. “It seemed a bit psychotic and scary.”
Coincidentally, the scene that occurred at that time was the scene where Hwang Min-jae held Hwang Dae-sik, who was hesitating about taking his life, not to go.
The man split the corners of his mouth and laughed. Still, I wanted to follow etiquette, so I covered my mouth with my hand, but I couldn’t stop the laughter from escaping.
The person in front of me, who sensed the commotion, looked behind me and tried to notice, but turned his head in surprise when he saw the man’s appearance. The man shook his body convulsively and whimpered.
(Please don’t leave me…)
[This is my first time seeing this… Why are you looking for my mother?]
The man who could not escape the lingering effects of the movie fell into ecstasy as he brought out the young Yoo Yeon-seo from his memory.
‘I’ve grown a lot. I’m really an adult now.’
I’m proud of whose son it is… The man smiled in satisfaction and walked out of the movie theater.
He was there when Yoo Yeon-seo went on a guerrilla date to promote ‘Snake’. Not only that, they even bought information about the filming location and passed by pretending to be staff members.
I gradually narrowed the distance, but I can no longer satisfy my desires just by hovering nearby without being noticed.
‘wait. ‘Dad will be there soon.’
Madness was reflected in the eyes of the man who was determined to show his presence.
***
Even though ‘Killing in the Rain’ is not a popular film, its opening performance was quite good. It is said that there were quite a few people who went to see Yoo Yeon-seo even if they were not necessarily fans.
-How was the killing in the rain?
-Honestly, the likes and dislikes will be strongly divided
– I don’t like it if you’re not a fan of Yoo Yeon-seo, but the acting was good
– It’s a bit dark and difficult because of the profanity. I think it’s an entertainment movie. Some
people evaluated it as a typical new wave movie, and others commented that it was boring, but the acting was captivating. There was also. What is certain is that the break-even point has already been crossed.
Yoo Yeon-seo’s fans irritated the community, going so far as to say that people who don’t know the coolness of ‘killing in profanity’ don’t know how to watch movies.
That’s right, when Yoo Yeon-seo’s morals got so bad, her heart suddenly started pounding beyond her health. So, when something comes up, we overreact.
– I had so fucking forgotten that Yoo Yeon-seo’s fans were also a community fandom
– That’s typical of celebrities and their fans ㅅㅂㅋ
– If you say it’s fun to kill non-society, they treat you like
you don’t know anything about movies and make you laugh – Yoo Yeon-seo’s fandom is also amazing, they don’t like it, but they donate consistently?
└It’s like a warm iced Americano
└It’s just like Joo Woo
└That’s because Yoo Yeon-seo blocked the Panther Potㅠㅠ The barrier is too highㅠ
Just when fans were quenching their thirst for a long-awaited movie, new news came out.
[Exclusive] Yoo Yeon-seo plans to attend a charity event in the U.S. with her family
… Actress Yoo Yeon-seo will attend a charity event held in LA. Top Hollywood and Korean stars also participate in this event.
According to the news, Juseong Art Museum Director Park Geum-joo and JSENM Vice President Choi Yu-jin, who will soon be inaugurated as president, will also attend, and the three generations of Juseong are expected to gather.
It was revealed that Park Geum-joo, director of the Juseong Art Museum, has consistently donated to the development of culture and arts, both domestically and overseas. JSENM Vice President Choi Yu-jin is also attending, and it is speculated that this may be to solidify Yoo Yeon-seo’s position as JSENM.
Yoo Yeon-seo observed the fans’ reactions to the ‘killing in profanity’ as if it was funny, and then turned off the screen. He was planning to participate in a charity event in LA and was waiting for someone to enter with him.
“Yeonseo!”
His stepmother, whom he had not seen in a long time, ran towards him wearing an elegant dress. Yeon-seo smiled slightly.
“mother. happy new year.”
“What about your body?”
Everyone who met him asked about his health, so I was used to it by now. Choi Yu-jin grabbed Yoo Yeon-seo’s shoulder and looked at him.
“Is everything okay now?”
“I came here because it’s okay.”
Yoo Yeon-seo flinched when she saw Park Geum-ju standing next to Choi Yu-jin.
“You look okay.”
“grandma. It’s late, but Happy New Year.”
“okay. you also.”
Seeing the two awkward people, Choi Yu-jin laughed as if she were having trouble. Even if I knew, it was better now than pretending not to see it.
“Let’s get in the car first.”
And the three people who arrived at the venue in an awkward atmosphere got out of the car.
“You two, please link arms and go in.”
“What about your mother?”
“I’ve been filmed a lot. “I’ll go first.”
Choi Yu-jin openly held her hand and entered first. Yoo Yeon-seo, who was blankly watching the people passing by leisurely waving their hands with wide strides, awkwardly stuck out her elbow.
“…Shall we go?”
“okay.”
Perhaps because Park Geum-joo is a prominent figure here, the reporters’ reaction was unusual. In particular, it was not common for Yoo Yeon-seo and Park Geum-joo to end up together, so Korean reporters on business trips kept taking pictures.
After passing the red carpet, Joson stood in front of the wall with the sponsor’s logo and was photographed for a moment.
“I enjoyed the movie. Congratulations on winning the award.”
“thank you. But you don’t have to come all the way here, right?”
Because of the height difference, Yoo Yeon-seo lowered her upper body and whispered to Park Geum-ju. In response, the Korean media immediately covered the story with the title, “A friendly grandson.”
“I heard everything from Secretary Park.”
“……So you came to stop me?”
“no.”
Park Geum-joo raised his head and looked at his grandson. When I thought about when I had grown so much, I thought,
“I don’t want to make mistakes anymore.”
Yoo Yeon-seo, who immediately realized the meaning of those words, stopped for a moment and looked at Park Geum-joo’s back.
‘So you are helping me?’
why? Although I was full of questions, my heart still beat happily.
Oh gosh, that stalker is so creepy. I hope Yunseo will kick his ass when the time come. Like, literally ><
