Song Hye-Kyo Starts
First Love With Cha Tae-Hyun
Forgetting her recent insult at the hands of the Vietnamese media's
false reports of her obtaining illicits drugs, Song Hye-Kyo has
fallen deep into her first big screen role. At a high school in
Busan, Song, 23, has transformed into a student, and meets Cha
Tae-Hyun for the first time. She has started filming her debut
movie, BLUE ALERT. Although Cha shot a prologue scene on the 17th,
it was on the 23rd that Song Hye-Kyo and Cha Tae-Hyun had their
first scene together.
BLUE ALERT is a screen adapation of Japanese author Katayama
Kyoichee's bestselling book, CRYING OUT LOVE, IN THE CENTER OF THE
WORLD (SEKAI NO CHUSHIN DE, AI WO SAKEBU) which was widely popular
in Korea as well. In Japan, the book has been made into a drama and
a movie. The movie of the same name was shown in Korea as well. But
BLUE ALERT will be different from the Japanese movie and will be
adapted to fit Korean tastes.
According to one of the movie reps., "We had to start with the
school scenes since it won't be too long before school sessions
resumes," adding that "We'll be shooting in Busan until the end of
this month and then we'll be shooting for the rest of the time in
Goeje Island until the end of October."
Song plays a tragic figure struck down by a fatal illness. But the
ambience in the movie is one of comedy and melodrama mixed together
so we will be able to see the entirety of her refreshing charms.
Song spent the entire summer taking scuba lessons and was otherwise
absorbed in preparing for this role.
