Addicted...to my brother's wife :P

[dangermousie]

Has anyone on my flist seen the kmovie Addicted? (It's also known as 'The Poisoning). I noticed it when I was getting something else on DVDAsian, mainly because Lee Byung-Hun is hot enough to have caught my eye (I swear, on the cover below, he looks like a Korean version of a young Alain Delon). Plus, the cover is rather eye-grabbing:



Plus, the plot sounds whack in an awesome way:

Addicted is a story about the spiritual journey of two brothers - as well as a passionate tale of love and desire between a man and a woman. Dae-jin (Lee Byung-heon) falls into a deep coma at the same time as his brother Ho-jin (Lee Eol) dies. Both were victims of tragic car races held in different places. After waking up again, Dae-jin takes on the habits as well as the looks of his worshipped brother. Things start to get totally out of hand after he falls into an addictive relationship with Ho-jin's wife Eun-soo (Lee Mi-yeon). She firmly refuses to believe that Ho-jin's soul was transferred into Dae-jin's body, until an astonishing revelation causes her to question her faith...

So, any good?

aaah...fixed the encoding.

Hmm...something about him makes me think of Takey and of Takeshi Kaneshiro.

But it sounds interesting.

Yeah, the coding went all whack for a bit.

something about him makes me think of Takey and of Takeshi Kaneshiro.

I think it's because he has the same 'elegant bones' (very clean cut lines) and impossibly straight nose. He really reminds of of Alain Delon, a French actor who was gorgeous when young...

Yeah, I was gonna comment on it, but you had it fixed by the time I hit cmment.

Hmm...yeah, that's probably it. What has that actor been in? He sounds familiar.

Lee Byung-Hun? Or Alain Delon :P

LBH was in the dramas 'All In' and 'Beautiful Days' and a whole bunch of movies, the last one of which was last year's and supposed to be good. (He now does movies and not dramas). The awesome thing is he was born in 1970 so he is almost 10 years older than me. Yay!!!!

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Heh...Alain Delon.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Alain Delon: The Leopard, Rocco and His Brothers, Creezy, the earlier take on Talented r. Ripley, a bunch of others but those are the ones I've seen.

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Hrm...guess he just has a familiar name.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

He's been in a lot of other movies too...

Now I am off to bed :)

i've seen this long ago, but i think i wasn't into Lee Byun Hun then - i started liking him after seeing A Bittersweet Life ... so it kinda made a so-so impression on me. i must rewatch and give it a second chance.

What is it about "falling in love with your brothers/best friends Girl" stories that's so AWESOME?! I think all shows should have this ANGST plotline in it. I am for serious!

Dude, I have no idea about the movie but just gotta let you know: MAWANG EP 1 SUBS ARE OUT!! I'm downloading the raw right now, eeeee.

[allbloomedout.livejournal.com]

Sounds really interesting! I love the way he looks in in the cover... *drools* Oh so many beautiful asian men...

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Oh, looks wonderful. I loooove Lee Byung-Hun, he was most excellent in "Bittersweet life" alongside Shin Min Ah (GANGSTERS! NOIR!! LOVE! MY weakness!!) and in "Joint Security Area" (absolute classic).

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Oooooh, I must watch Bittersweet Life now. I adore SMA and gangsters/noir is something I love.

I've heard of JSA but haven't seen it.

I just got my hands on 'All In' his last drama (from 2003). Let's see if it's good :)

And the awesome thing is I keep discovering new 'speciments' daily.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

OMG OMG OMG *hyperventilates*

*off to dl*

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I don't know but seeing the way it brins on the angst, I am all for your proposal!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

What is ABL about? I've heard good things about it...

[allbloomedout.livejournal.com]

I know! I don't know how to keep track anymore since you keep adding to the list everyday. :P

[sahweetay.livejournal.com]

I thought it was really good. Surprisingly my Blockbuster, which around here isn't known for carrying a lot of foreign films, had it. I was kept guessing throughout the whole movie! I think you'd like it. :D

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Heeeee. And yet I don't feel sorry at all :)
