View Point On June 6, 2007, an original movie, first premiered in North Korea, and then played in South Korea. 'Hwang Jiny' is a movie based on materials written by a North Korean writer. The reason why so much anticipation lay in this movie was due to the casting of star actress Song Hye-Gyo. There was a reason why she had been hiding from the movie screens and television sets for 2 years. Also, there was a lot of curiousity aroused, with comparisons being made between the 2006 hit drama series 'Hwangjiny' and the movie. This was a large-scale production that took 4 years from planning to its release, requiring 194 days of filming, and \10,000,000,000 in the making. The film was shot in a number of popular tourist locations, as well as in North Korea. This was a highly anticipated film that left a footprint in the Korean film industry. |
