I Am…Sad?

Aug 7, 2007 Author: FMS | Filed under: Blogged In (from Korean news), Just Funny, Multimedia

This tidbit about the new drama “I Am Sam”, from NoCutNews:

“‘아이엠 샘’, 여기가 진짜 우리나라 학교?”드라마가 꼭 현실을 반영할 필요는 없지만 그렇다고 현실을 아예 무시할 수도 없다. 현실과 비현실의 적절한 배합으로 재미를 주는게 드라마 연출자의 능력이다.

6일 첫 방송된 KBS 2TV ‘아이엠 샘’(이진매 극본, 김정규 연출)에 드러난 과장된 학교의 모습은 비현실적인 측면이 다소 과한 감이 있다.

조폭이 교사를 납치해 조폭 두목 딸의 입주 과외 교사로 앉힌다. 두 사람은 한 집에서 생활하며 등교한다. 교사가 교실에서 공부 하지 않을 사람은 나가라고 하니 학생 대부분이 나가버린다. 교사가 자신을 때리라고 하니 학생들은 검을 들고 나서기도 한다.

심지어 교장실 책상에는 조폭이 버젓이 앉아서 교사를 기다린다. 퍼머머리와 짙은 화장도 어색하지만 굽이 높은 하이힐을 신고 초미니스커트 교복을 입은 아이들은 더욱 낯설다.

‘아이앰 새드’는 더 좋은 재목일까? 함 스스로 읽으세요.

Well, the premise is pretty…umm…a stupid cliche? Gangsters and sexy students and corrupt teachers, and…*YAWN*! But forget about the story! The publicity shot, which is supposed to show us “sexy” schoolgirls who are supposed to get at our pedophiliac urges in a Britney-in-that-video kind of way, can’t even do that right.

They look terrible! The schoolgirl outfits, which look nothing like anything anyone actually wears in Korea, look horrible. And the shoes (are those pompoms on the yellow ones in the front?) are something even self-respecting women in their 30’s might not wear, unless they were drinking while dressing; And the matching ajumma purses? The black socks and boxing booties? Ugh!

And don’t even get me started on those awkward, not-sexy poses and their beetlebug sunglasses. Wow – it looks like the designers have no idea how to make a schoolgirl look like a “bad girl” – which shouldn’t be that hard to do, in this day and age, right?

They definitely look like they were dressed by a middle-aged blind man who let three naughty schoolgirls go crazy on his credit card in a vintage store – or a Goodwill.

A fashion disaster! (And a conceptual one, too!)

영국의 NOW이란 연예인 뉴스 사이트에 나온 재밌는 소식:

사라 제시카 파커는 ‘섹스앤드씨티’를 촬영하면서 하이힐을 신었기 때문에 몸은 많이 다쳤다고 밝혔어요.

‘하루에 18-20시간동안 하이힐을 신으면서 촬영했다’고 설명했어요.

‘뛰고 다니고 춤도 쳤으니까 자기 몸을 완전히 파열시켰다. 무릎은 완전히 멸망했다’고도 말했어요.

그리고 더 웃기는 사실은 사라는 코즈모폴리탄을 너무 싫대요. ㅋㅋ 청소할 때 코즈모폴리틴을 클리너로 쓰고 싶대요. ㅋㅋ 생각보다 배우과 인물은 큰 차이가 나네. ㅋㅋㅋ

“아야!”

From NOW celebrity news:

Sarah Jessica Parker has revealed that tottering around in high heels for Sex And The City has taken its toll.

‘I used to spend 18 to 20 hours a day filming in heels,’ she explains.

‘I’ve totally destroyed my body by running and dancing in heels. My knees are shot.’

And - shock! - unlike her characters Carrie Bradshaw, SJP, 42, doesn’t enjoy swigging Cosmopolitans.

She believes the cocktail, made with vodka, Cointreau, cranberry juice, and fresh-squeezed lime juice, is pretty nasty stuff.

Indeed – she mentioned that when she drank it, she thought of ways to use it as a home cleaning solvent. Hehe.

실은, 아니다. 근데 진짜 무슨 고급, 디자이너 찜질복같이 않아? 아마 압구정동쪽에 있는 찜질방이겠다. 그런 연예인전용 찜질방들은 이런 명품 찜질복을 나누어 주 일반 사람들이 못 들어가겠죠. 보통 사람들과 다르게 하는 거잖아. 멋쟁들이만 찜질방에서 하이힐 신고 다니는 거지. 그치? ㅋㅋㅋ

You know the clothes they give you when you go to the public steam room? Yeah – the t-shirt and shorts they give you so you can sit around and read comics while eating ramen and getting all sweaty in while your own clothes stay clean and dry. Well, no more generic tees and shorts! Now, you can get a blue, tie-dyed, designer-label version to wear out to public photo events!

Well, not really, but you get the point. Talent Seo Yeong-hee is posing for the camera crews to promote her new drama, “The Golden Age of the Daughter-In-Law” (rough translation from “며느리 전성시대“), but she looks more like she just walked out of an elite 찜질방 made just for stars. Because only stars would wear heels to a 찜질방. Hehe.

진짠가? 읽어보시죠:

남규리 이보람 김연지의 3인조 여성그룹 씨야가 26일 방송된 SBS 파워FM 하하의 텐텐클럽’에 출연해 미모의 비결을 밝혔다.씨야는 외모 관리비법이 무엇이냐는 질문에“아침마다 고기를 먹는다”고 답했다.

씨야는 “평소 멤버들 모두 삼겹살을 유독 좋아한다. 거의 매일 아침마다 삼겹살을 구워먹고 회식을 해도 꼭 삼겹살만 먹는다”고 밝혔다. 게다가 멤버 1인당 기본 3인분은 거뜬하다고 거침없이 고백했다.

그 만큼 프리하고 걱정없이 먹는 거아니겠지만 그래도 한국에서 좀더 뭔가 있는 여성 연예인을 보일 수 있으니까 좋네요. 나도 언니들이랑 삼겹살을 먹고 싶은데! 화이팅, 씨야!

[From Newsen.]

The three members of the singing group Seeya, when asked what their secret to beauty was, answered that they “eat samgyeopsal every morning.”

Now, that’s our kind of girl! Now, they were just joking around, but kinda not really. They went on to say that they loved them some samgyeop and each member eats about three servings each at afterparty dinners.

Well, since I think the girls probably worry about their figures a bit more than they let on, I highly doubt this, but it’s still nice to see some Korean stars who don’t weigh 3 pounds and look like stick figures.

Go, Seeya!

Street Photography, Mansei!

! 걸렸어! 그렇게 처다보면 안되는데! ㅋㅋㅋ

이런 street photography 재밌지 않아요? 요즘에 서울은 1950년때 파리만큼 아주 우와하고 찍을 만한 곳이야. 길거리에서 여러가지 재밌는 요소들이 많아서. 사람들이 그 사실을 좀더 감상했으면 좋겠는데. 아직도 진짜 스트리트 사진작가들이 살고 있다는 것.

Busman

Gotcha! Caught ya looking, you dirty bird!

These days, Korea is a street and fashion photo heaven, as lively and interesting as Paris in the 1950’s. I wish people would appreciate the art of the real street photographer more here in Korea.

There really is a lot of beauty in the streets.

멀티매거진이란?

이 거 뭐냐고요? 바로 한국 패션을 사랑하는 미국인사진작가의 만든 한국의 최초의 street fashion and style "멀티매거진"이예요. 반갑죠? ㅋㅋㅋ

우리 멀테매거진은 대부분의 한국 패션잡지하고 달라요. 여러 사람들을 모여서 '리얼 패션'을 직접 찍고 촬영하고 녹음도 하고. 그리고 UCC과 podcast하고 멋진 멀티미디어 컨텐츠와 솔직한 글로 색다른 online magazine을 제공해요. 멀티미디어 + 매거진 = "멀티매거진"이죠. 지금 발전중이라 이쁘게 봐주시고 우리 컴뮤니티에 가입을 좀 하시죠? 우리 FMS의 사이트와 함께 서울의 멋진 길거리와 맛집에서 만나보자!


What is FASHION?

"패션은 옷과 함께 하는 것만은 아니에요...하늘에도, 길에도 패션은 있고, 패션은 우리의 생각과 삶의 방식, 주변에서 일어나는 일들과도 함께해야만 해요."

"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."

--- Coco Chanel (1883–1971)

What is STYLE?

"패션은 희미해지지만 스타일은 영원하다."

"Fashions fade, style is eternal.”

--- Yves Saint Laurent (b. 1936)






What is SEXY?

"있잖아..다리가 아름다운건 아니야...단지 그걸 어떻게 해야 하는지를 아는거야."

"Darling, the legs aren't so beautiful, I just know what to do with them."

--- Marlene Dietrich (1901–1992)











What is TALENT?

"내가 연기할 수 없을 때, 난 연기를 해야 했고, 노래할 수 없을 때, 난 '익살스런 얼굴'을 노래해야 했다. 또, 난 Fred Astaire와 함께 춤을 춰야 했었는데, 그때는 춤을 출 수 있는 상황이 아니었다. 그러니까 내가 준비되지 않았을 때 난 이 모든것을 해야 했던 것이다. 그때 난 정말 미친듯이 이 난국을 타개하기 위해 노력했다."

"I was asked to act when I couldn't act. I was asked to sing 'Funny Face' when I couldn't sing, and dance with Fred Astaire when I couldn't dance - and do all kinds of things I wasn't prepared for. Then I tried like mad to cope with it.”

---Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993)
