New Reviews - "Glass Slipper"   (DVDTalk.com)
"Two thumbs up... From start to finish, it is an intense show..." DVD Talk

Glass Slipper is a Korean television drama (K-drama) produced by the South Korean television network SBS in 2002. The series is made up of forty episodes, which have been released on DVD in two separate volumes. Volume one contains the first twenty-one episodes and volume two the final nineteen episodes. The show is highly romanticized and melodramatic. For a K-drama, Glass Slipper gets two thumbs up. From start to finish, it is an intense show with one great soapy development after the other. This review covers the first volume.

The story of Glass Slipper begins with the unfortunate past of the Kim family. Kim Hyun-ho (Ha Jae-young) is a loving father who gave up everything to be with the one he loved. His father Pil-joong disapproved of his bride-to-be and demanded he choose the family (and all of the riches that come along with it) or his wife. Hyun-ho chose love and went on to live as a poor man. They had two children, Tae-hee (Kim Ji-ho) and Yoon-hee (Kim Hyun-ju). While his wife was giving birth to their second child, Yoon-hee, she passed away. Hyun-ho went on to raise Tae-hee and Yoon-hee by himself. Unfortunately, Hyun-ho's days were numbered. He has leukemia and ironically dies after being hit by a car. READ MORE

 Song Hye-Kyo to Debut in the U.S.

Actress Song Hye-Kyo (Hotelier, Full House) will make her acting debut in the United States playing the lead in director Sohn Su-Beom's first full-length movie "Fetish." It's a psychological thriller where Song will play opposite Arno Frisch, who played the lead in "Funny Game." "Fetish" is a low-budget independent movie, but to Song it will serve as a springboard for her advancement to the U.S. as 80% of her lines will be in English.

The movie's casting director, Susan Shopmaker, commented she chose Song because she liked her Asian yet Western image. She added that the movie will reveal a new side of the actress. Song's agency said the actress's role in the movie will hopefully secure her a spot in the global film industry.
