Park Chan-wook’s Bat ready to take flight

Director Park Chan-wook’s erotic vampire flick Bat is set to take flight and the movie’s stars, along with the Old Boy helmer, appeared to the press on March 31 in Apgujeong, Seoul.

Bat stars: From l-r Song Kang-ho, Kim Ok-bin and
director Park Chan-wook



Kim Ok-bin (Over the Rainbow) and Song Kang-ho (The Good, The Bad, The Weird) play the leads in the film which reportedly contains explicit sex scenes. Call it a South Korean version of Lust, Caution, if you will.

Vampire: Kim Ok-bin portrays a
vampire in the flick


The story revolves around a pastor named Sang Hyun (Song Kang-ho) who falls in love with his friend’s wife Taejoo (Kim Ok-bin), who happens to be a vampire. Soon the man of cloth also turns into a vampire and starts craving for blood, sex and love.

The film is scheduled for release on April 30.

In character: 'Oh look at the lovely humans with hot red blood
running through their veins!'

Blood type: 'Yes, I love the challenge of finding
O-negative people, they taste the best.'

Blood suckers: They may look nice and innocent
now, but wait until hunger strikes.

sorry k-popped! there was an error in my first comment then it got posted again...

i just wanted to know if have you watched "Hanoi Bride" starring Kim Ok Bin (really adorable portraying a Vietnamese) and Lee Dong Wook... the drama may not appeal to some because it only has 2 episodes but i really digged it since i'm also married to a korean.

the drama tackled the difficulties and prejudice we foreign wifes (or spouses) encounter in this society.. but as they say, love conquers all...

@Jehan: Nope have not seen Hanoi Bride. A 2-episode drama? Sounds like a mini-series...

I actually have the "Hanoi Bride" DVD box set. Don't really remember too much about the story, though ... I'll have to go and watch it again ....
