[Article] City Conquest or TOC the Paradoxical Drama and Its Hero Paradoxical
By: aprilstarr
A paradox refers to a situation, event, views containing contradictions. The true paradox is that both opposing views will reconcile eventually.
City Conquest, the manhwa still to be turned into a drama has become a paradox. It has started to be criticized even just hearing the news coming out in trickles : the main leads, the scriptwriter, the story itself and the lack of a broadcasting network (SBS ?). On the other hand, even without a single day of shooting, the drama was presold overseas to a record high of almost 11 billion won. Now if that is not a belief in KHJ power I don’t know what else is.
The common denominator between the two opposite reactions to the drama is the interest the drama has generated. The business interest is understandable. Anything that has something to do with KHJ is like mining sure gold not mere speculations. On the other hand, the critics and their noises show they are watching intently KHJ news, otherwise why bother. Without fail, KHJ tirades direct or indirect sure brings in the blog traffic.
What further feeds some of Kim hyun joong’s public and business attraction to him is his continuing presence in closely occuring activities as shown in the deluge of pictures : Fanmeets, Heat MV, Faceshop cocktails, Lotte Duty Free cocktails, the infamous online voting, soccer, the Heat single declared best selling by Towers even before it is released in Japan on July 4th and its promotion through a free concert.Perhaps there are more, only we get to know about them ipso facto.
What makes the whole thing even more paradoxical is the man starring in the drama himself.They say he is not good to act in it but instead of being discouraged he continues to show acting is something learned like any other skill. The preparation is not something easy to do if one did not have prior background. Fighting, for example, like dancing is choreographed. This was shown in his recently released video though it is just the mini miniest portion of it (no spoilers this early). Fighting scenes whether in Sageuk dramas, war movies or contemporary dramas -sword fighting, martial arts,hand to hand combat, shooting arrows while riding the raging horses,getting blown up by landmines, getting shot by an assassin, mugged by gangsters -they are all meticuously planned and arranged. Even dying is choreographed.
Acting like any other skill gets better with practice. As they say practice makes perfect -so the more acting jobs he takes the more improvement will show like in PK. Nobody has any right to render irrevocable judgement on his acting more so on a drama still yet to be seen.
If there are doubters , the more KHJ believes in himself -what he is capable of doing. The results are 2 A’s: amazing and awesome. Thus, the final paradox is arrived at – the soldier gets shot at but that makes him bolder and more courageous. KHJ goes All forward And Gung Ho! CC is just one more hurdle to win.

After selling the rights to a drama that hasn’t even gone into production, Kim Hyun-joong is finally set to start filming “City Conquest.”
A spokesperson for the drama said Friday the first location for shooting will be in Japan, starting on July 10 and continuing about two weeks.
“The filming will take place in Nikko and Edo Wonderland in Utsunomiya. Tochigi Prefecture has kindly promised to offer its full support, no doubt as the program is one that is gathering much attention overseas,” said the spokesperson.
Nikko is a city known for its historical attractions, with many shrines and temples designated as World Heritage Sites.

[Article] The Villains Of Korean Dramas
By: aprilstarr
The villains or the bad guys of South Korean dramas -the guys you
love to hate and curse. The guys that make punching bags out of our
heroes, the goons those who sport the regulation black suit with
menacing faces forever wait for the boss’orders and commands. The team
is on a standby to foil the heroes’ heroic deeds (what else is there to
do than that ?) saving lady love, penetrating the forbidden
fortress,following leads, solving a crime, exacting revenge. Whatever.
These underlings don’t think, they just follow. Their hideouts are
the empty warehouses in the underbelly of the city or its suburb . It is
here where they commit their heinous crimes or at least teach the
interfering nosy heroes to mind their own business like in East of Eden.
Or they will surround/protect the boss in his rich villa.They provide
the obstacle courses, but many times they are outsmarted turning the
chases comedic in many ways.
The gangster boss most of the times are usurers who needs to ensure
efficient collection of money owed him. But not all of them are hateable
or with features only a mother can love -some have redeeming qualities
like the ahjussi in Romance Town who even became counsellor to the main
female lead and became defender of the household helps in the drama.
Another bad guy but not exactly is the typical executive assistant
cum driver -very loyal to one of the antigonist of the story -so loyal
that he is able to know everything-in short he serves as eyes and ears
of his boss. Everything is almost known or done with about 90 %
efficiency and accuracy. This type was in Midas, Feast of the Gods,Boys
Over Flowers, Swallow the Sun.
There are bad guys actually second lead that had a well written and
developed role but who also played their role with such compassion and
sincerity, they swayed the audience to their side. This was true in
Emperor of the Sea where Song Ill Guk second lead /bad guy was far more
interesting than the hero who became boring and dead. SIG became Jumong
in his next drama. Of course, not all second leads are necessarily bad
guys. Some may start as bad guys then eventually had a significant turn
around later.
The other villains in the dramas are the typical flashy well dressed
personalities, the powers that be in society -the corrupt politician or
the police chief, the money hungry businessman, the manipulative board
of directors, the overbearing father or father figure,the Drug lord, the
sly syndicate head, the pervert manager and many more in the list. They
are of the same breed with shared chracteristics : they see societies
as feeding their personal gains, they will use force and violence
without hesitation nor remorse. They see them as their ultimate weapon
when their other ways are not persuasive enough.
Kdramas need the the bad guys who come in many types and forms.They
provide the contrast that highlights the virtues of the good guys. Their
defeat make heroes out of the other characters in solving the drama
problems and conflicts. And while the drama is ongoing we pretend we
don’t know that the heroes will prevail in the end just so the flow of
the story goes on.
In City Conquest we already know there will be bad guys and who will
be the bad guys . You’ve seen him before in many dramas -might as well
call him veteran, ahjussi bad guy. From the story arcs of the manhwas
Baek Mir will have many action scenes,kick here ,kick there. The bad
guys are everywhere. I’m sure you’d like to see how he will annihilate
them. But will he remain unscathed and will you be able to handle it
just in case -Hyun Joong with the appropriate cuts, bloodied face and
broken body but not broken spirit ?
Los villanos o los malos de Corea del Sur, los dramas de los chicos que le encanta odiar y maldecir. Los chicos que hacen sacos de boxeo fuera de nuestros héroes, los matones a los que la regulación del deporte traje negro con caras amenazantes para siempre esperar a que los boss'orders y comandos. El equipo está en el modo de espera para frustrar acciones heroicas de los héroes (¿qué más hay que ver que eso?) De ahorro de amor de la señora, penetrando en la fortaleza prohibido, seguir pistas, resolver un crimen, exigiendo venganza. Lo que sea.
Estos subalternos no piensan, sólo tienes que seguir. Sus escondites son los almacenes vacíos en la parte más vulnerable de la ciudad o su barrio. Es aquí donde se cometan los delitos atroces o por lo menos enseñar a los héroes curiosos que interfieren a la mente su propio negocio, como en el Este del Edén. O que rodeará / proteger el jefe en su rica villa.They ofrecer las carreras de obstáculos, pero muchas veces son más listo que persigue convertir la comedia en muchos aspectos.
El jefe mafioso muchas veces son los usureros que necesita para garantizar una eficiente recolección de dinero le debía. Pero no todos ellos son hateable o con características que sólo una madre puede amar-algunos tienen cualidades redentoras, como la ahjussi en Ciudad del Romance, que incluso se convirtió en consejero para la protagonista femenina principal y se convirtió en defensor de la familia ayuda en el drama.
Otro chico malo, pero no es exactamente el semen asistente ejecutivo típico de conductor muy leal a uno de los antigonist de la historia-tan leal que es capaz de saber todo, en una palabra que sirve como los ojos y los oídos de su jefe. Todo lo que se sabe o se hace casi con un 90% la eficiencia y precisión. Este tipo estaba en Midas, festín de los dioses, Boys Over Flowers, Trague el sol.
Hay chicos malos de plomo en realidad segunda que tuvo un papel bien escrito y desarrollado, pero que también jugó su papel con tanta compasión y la sinceridad, se balanceaban a la audiencia a su lado. Esto fue cierto en el emperador del Mar, donde Canción III Guk segundo de plomo / mal tipo era mucho más interesante que el héroe que se convirtió en aburrido y muerto. SIG se convirtió en Jumong en su drama que viene. Por supuesto, no todos los cables de la segunda son necesariamente malas chicos. Algunos pueden comenzar tan malos después llegó a tener un giro significativo en torno tarde.
Los otros villanos en los dramas son los típicos personajes llamativos bien vestidas, los poderes fácticos en la sociedad-el político corrupto o el jefe de la policía, el empresario hambrientos de dinero, la junta de directores de manipulación, el padre autoritario o figura paterna, el capo de la droga , la cabeza astuta sindicato, el director pervertido y muchos más en la lista. Son de la misma raza, con chracteristics compartidos: las sociedades que ven como la alimentación de sus ganancias personales, que van a utilizar la fuerza y la violencia sin vacilación ni remordimiento. Ellos los ven como su última arma cuando sus otras maneras que no son lo suficientemente convincente.
Kdramas necesitan los chicos malos de los que vienen en muchos tipos y formas.Ellos proporcionan el contraste que resalta las virtudes de los buenos. Su derrota hacer héroes de los otros personajes de la solución de los problemas y los conflictos dramáticos. Y mientras el drama está en curso se pretende que no sabemos que los héroes se impondrá al final sólo para que el flujo de la historia continúa.
En la City Conquest que ya sabemos que habrá malos y quiénes serán los chicos malos. ¿Lo has visto antes en muchos dramas, puede ser que también le llaman veterano, hombre ahjussi mal. A partir de los arcos de la historia del Baek Mir tendrá muchas escenas de acción, patadas aquí, patada allí. Los chicos malos están por todas partes. Estoy seguro de que me gustaría ver cómo va a aniquilarlos. Pero va a permanecer indemne y va a ser capaz de manejarlo por si acaso-Hyun Joong con los cortes adecuados, la cara ensangrentada y el cuerpo roto, pero no el espíritu roto?
