Listen, it’ll be a miracle if I say anything coherent in this post, because WHY SO PRETTY?

I’m a fan of the scruffy look on any guy, but on Hyun Bin, it pretty much takes the cake. And the frosting on top.

The official poster and release date have been announced for 60s classic remake Late Autumn, and it premieres…you guessed it…late autumn! The film has made the rounds in the international festival circuit, and will be released nationwide in Korea on November 25.

Late Autumn (also called Manchu) made its Korean debut at the Pusan International Film Festival, where advance tickets sold out in FIVE SECONDS. Needless to say, it broke a new record for fastest sellout of a screening. Yeesh. You’d think people were buying tickets to sit in a darkened room with Hyun Bin himself.

The film stars Tang Wei as a woman who is on leave from prison for three days, after killing her husband seven years ago. She meets Hyun Bin in Seattle and well, falls in love. Sigh. Wouldn’t we all?

Late Autumn is a remake of the 1960 lost film Manchu, and is directed by Kim Tae-yong. Hyun Bin is currently shooting fantasy-action drama Secret Garden opposite Ha Ji-won, which premieres November 13.
