Comic hit queen comeback with ‘Killing Romance’
Like an insert scene that magnifies important points in a movie, TenAsia reporter Kang Min-kyung focuses on issues in the film industry. Let’s take a closer look at the front and back of the hot topic from a three-dimensional perspective.
Actress Lee Ha-nui was ruined again with the movie ‘Killing Romance’ (directed by Lee Won-seok). Will he be able to once again show his status as the ‘comic box office queen’ that he has firmly maintained?
Lee Ha-nui showed off her appearance as a 'comic hit queen' from the movie 'Extreme Job' (directed by Lee Byung-hun) to the dramas 'The Fiery Priest' and 'One the Woman.' 'Extreme Job' attracted 16.26 million viewers, 'The Fiery Priest' recorded a peak viewership rating of 17.8%, and 'One the Woman', which ranked first, recorded a peak viewership rating of 17.8%.
Lee Ha-nui will appear in ‘Killing Romance’, which will be released on the 14th. 'Killing Romance' tells the story of top star Yeorae (played by Lee Ha-nui), who suddenly announces her retirement after falling in love with island tycoon Jonathan (played by Lee Seon-gyun). Tathagata meets Beom-woo (played by Gong Myeong), a student from the 3rd fan club, and plots an extraordinary comeback plan.
In the play, Lee Ha-nui plays the role of a top star who suddenly announces her retirement. Tathagata falls in love with Jonathan Na, whom she met by chance, and suddenly retires as soon as she gets married. However, when she meets Beom-woo, she dreams of a brilliant comeback.
The top star Tathagata, who was enjoying her prime, was suddenly reduced to a subject of national ridicule. This is because he showed off his acting skills in the unprecedented SF blockbuster ‘Strangers’. Eventually, Tired of the malicious comments, Tathagata decides to retire and suddenly leaves for Kuala Island in the South Pacific. There, Jonathan, a self-made tycoon, fell in love with me at first sight and married her.
In 'Killing Romance', Lee Ha-nui sang 'Tathoraism', a rewritten version of Rain's 'Rainism', and Wild Chrysanthemum's 'Please'. Director Lee Won-seok, who directed ‘Killing Romance,’ is said to be a big fan of Rain. Director Lee Won-seok said about ‘Tathagataism’, which is an adaptation of Rain’s ‘Rainism’, “It means the present.”
Rain, the owner of the original song 'Rainism' from 'Tathagataism', is close to Lee Ha-nui. To Lee Ha-nui, Rain is her brother-in-law. He is close friends with Kim Tae-hee, a senior and junior at Seoul National University. According to Lee Ha-nui, Rain recorded ‘Tathagataism’, a rewritten version of ‘Rainism’, without compensation.
In addition, the music video for 'Tathoraism' was released through the official YouTube channel of Lee Ha-nui's agency, Saram Entertainment, and attracted attention. Lee Ha-nui personally planned, produced, and filmed the music video for ‘Tathagataism’. It is said that Lee Ha-nui persuaded director Lee Won-seok to cast her, and even proposed additional cuts using impromptu LED sunglasses props and even a dance scene with Lee Sun-gyun.
Lee Ha-nui showed off her action acting as an independence fighter full of faith in the movie 'Ghost', which was released in January this year. However, only 660,000 people were mobilized. Will Lee Ha-nui, who has had successive successes with her comedies, be able to show the dignity of the ‘comic hit queen’? Attention is focused on whether the pride lost through 'Ghost' can be restored through 'Killing Romance'.
