South Korea is now the 2nd largest territory for Kingsman: The Secret Service. Should be 3rd after China release. It's also the fourth biggest release for 20 century Fox in Korea after Avatar, X-Men: days of future past and Dawn of the planet of the apes.

Hi Rsyu, do you know how many admissions 2009's 내 눈에 콩깍지 (The Relation of Face, Mind and Love) did (and how it ranked in 2009) ? Was it considered a good movie or a success ? Thanks !

 

The Relation of Face, Mind and Love (2009)

mov_20090724_1.jpg

 

The Relation of Face, Mind and Love (Hangul: 내눈에 콩깍지; RR: Nae Nune Kkongkkakji) is a 2009 South Korean-Japanese film starring Kang Ji-hwan and Lee Ji-ah. The romantic comedy film ponders the classic question of how much looks matter when it comes to love, when a good-looking architect finds the perfect woman, except for the fact that she is not very pretty.
 
It was part of the "Telecinema7" project, seven feature-length mini-dramas which were collaborations between South Korean TV directors and Japanese TV screenwriters; the seven Korea-Japan joint productions both received a limited theater release and were broadcast on television. The Relation of Face, Mind and Love was first released in Korea in CGV theaters on November 5, 2009, and later aired on SBS (South Korea) on April 4, 2010, and TV Asahi (Japan) in 2010.
 
Alternate titles are My Love, Ugly Duckling and Oh My Venus.
 
Plot

Kang Tae-poong is a handsome and successful architect who constantly emphasizes the importance of substance over style in architecture, but has yet to apply this philosophy when it comes to love. Until one day, after a minor car accident, he suddenly suffers from a "temporary visual impairment" that makes beauties appear ugly and vice versa. When an inebriated and hot-tempered Wang So-jung passes out in front of Tae-poong's office building, he sees her as the beautiful resurrection of his dead fiancee and falls head over heels. Ugly duckling So-jung is completely baffled when Tae-poong keeps calling her his "goddess," but she soon makes him fall in love with her for her true charms, like how she is humble and unafraid to be goofy. Tae-poong's eye problem is fixed, however, by the time So-jung returns from a business trip a few days later, and when they meet again, he fails to recognize her.

 

Officially it managed 55,132 admissions or $336,919 gross and was the 169th most attended film of the year. Very very poor. Ratings on Naver is poor too with just 4.19/10.0 and 2.0/10.0 from critics. I don't really recommend it.

&nbsp;

Thanks again. That's very helpful. 55k admissions were indeed very poor, even for a semi-TV movie. Still, I think a much better film could be made out of the idea of how much looks matter when it comes to love.

Interestingly enough number 1~4 films on the Korean box office are all R-rated (18+) movies.

In other news, MI5 got a set release date for July 30. It will be distributed by Lotte entertainment.
