Stills from Uhm Tae-woong and Han Ga-in’s new film
by girlfriday
Here’s a first look at Han Ga-in and Uhm Tae-woong in their new romantic melo film, Introduction to Architecture, along with their younger counterparts, played by Suzy (Dream High) and Lee Jae-hoon (The Front Line). They actually did a pretty great job in casting for resemblance in the younger actors, to make the connection immediate, and not the usual case of oh, is that who he’s supposed to be?
The film is about an architect, played by Uhm Tae-woong, whose first love shows up one day to ask him to build her a house. She asks for her old house to be rebuilt — the one from her childhood, and the stills come from a scene where they go to Jeju Island to see the original house, and then memories of their youth come flooding back. The title comes from their first meeting as college students, in an Introduction to Architecture class, where the hero had promised to build the heroine a house one day. Aw, how cute.
If Suzy and Lee Jae-hoon can deliver on the flashback sequences (of which I’m assuming there are many, based on the story), it might be a sweet throwback kind of love story, like Winter Sonata minus all the amnesia-fauxcest-terminal-illness. At least I certainly hope so. Yeesh. I’m pretty sure if memory serves, there was an architect’s story buried under that other stuff, somewhere deep down.
Directing is PD Lee Yong-ju (Memories of Murder, Possessed). Introduction to Architecture is almost halfway through principal photography and plans to release early next year.

I was thinking the same... though, granted, her character in Dream High was meant to be 'wooden' (initially) and of course she had the insurmountable challenge of acting opposite Kim Soo Hyun...

her character wasn't meant to be wooden at first .. o_O they only made her wooden-ness a character trait after a while.

SIU only stood #1 in its first week and must satisfy in the 3rd place this week because Lee Min Ki's new movie kicks in :)
Let's see if this one can make better move.

Wow, this looks really interesting! And you're right, their younger counterparts look quite good.
If it's sweet and nostalgic and heartwarming, I'd like to watch it. :-)

Suzy? Hey, I like her! As far as I'm concerned there was really only one scene in Dream High where I was displeased by her acting, so I have confidence in her abilities.

The movie title sounds more like a school textbook, but Uhm Tae Woong = LOVE. I actually scrolled down to look at the younger version of Uhm Tae Woong's character and nodded in agreement when you said "they actually did a pretty great job in casting for resemblance in the younger actors." It's believable.

Bookmarking this (mentally)...
Are the characters meant to be the same age? How old are they meant to be in any case? Han Ga-in definitely looks younger, to the point that I would question the need for a younger counterpart (certainly if the memories go only to 'college age')...
Still, I'll watch it if I get the chance.

This is totally my kind of movie. I always had a thing for childhood love stories, so yes, will definitely watch.
by the way, am I the only one who is amused at the fact that both Suzy and Han Ga-in have acted/will be acting opposite Kim Soo-hyun? ok. don't mind me.

I loved Memories of Murder! Though these actors are a bit more flashy than those I'd associate with the director, I hope he can get some really good work out of them. Yay!
