Go Ah Sung, Byun Yo Han, And Moon Sang Min’s New Film “Pavane” Reveals Key Reasons To Tune In
Netflix’s new film “Pavane” has unveiled key points to watch ahead of its release today! Based on the best-selling novel “Pavane for a Dead Princess,” “Pavane” tells the story of three young adults struggling to love themselves. As these emotionally closed-off individuals find solace in each other’s company and slowly become a ray of light for one another, they ultimately learn to face life and love again. Here are three key highlights of the film! 1. The quiet yet heartfelt comfort and relatability conveyed through the trio’s coming-of-age journey Mi Jung (Go Ah Sung), Yo Han (Byun Yo Han), and Gyeong Rok (Moon Sang Min)—each carrying emotional wounds that prevent them from loving even themselves—the film paints a poignant portrait of youth navigating a harsh reality. As the three naturally grow closer and slowly rediscover light in their lives together, the story promises a tender depiction of youth and healing. Director Lee Jong Pil shared, “I hoped the film would hold the feelings people have about love and youth,” adding that “Pavane” delivers a story that is both sweet and bittersweet, offering empathy and gentle consolation to young people forced to give up dreams and love in the face of reality. 2. Chemistry between Go Ah Sung, Byun Yo Han, and Moon Sang Min Go Ah Sung, known for her stable and delicate acting, plays Mi Jung, a woman who hides herself from others’ gaze. After meeting Gyeong Rok, the first person to treat her without prejudice, Mi Jung gradually begins to change. Byun Yo Han takes on the role of Yo Han, a free-spirited and unpredictable character—at times lighthearted yet serious, warm yet distant—whose layered personality comes alive through the actor’s signature depth. Moon Sang Min plays Gyeong Rok, a young man who gave up his dream of becoming a temporary dancer and now faces harsh reality. Drawn to Mi Jung after their chance encounter, Gyeong Rok begins moving toward his stalled dreams and future once again, portraying the clumsy yet sincere emotions of youth. 3. Director Lee Jong Pil’s delicate direction Previously known for capturing the struggles and hopes of youth in films such as “Samjin Company English Class” and “Escape,” the director has shared that he had long dreamed of creating a romance film since his teenage years. Unlike the original novel, which unfolds in a first-person perspective, the film reconstructs the story through the viewpoints of Mi Jung, Yo Han, and Gyeong Rok, presenting a more layered portrayal of love, friendship, and growth. A diverse soundtrack spanning classical, rock, jazz, and Korean pop—along with visual motifs of light such as auroras, sunsets, and rainbows—enhances the film’s distinctive melodramatic atmosphere. “Pavane” will be released on Netflix on February 20 at 5 p.m. KST.
Kim Hye Yoon Is A Director Who Sets Out To Unravel The Mystery Surrounding "Whispering Water" In New Film
The highly anticipated horror film “Whispering Water” has released its first stills of Kim Hye Yoon in character! “Whispering Water” is a horror film about a production crew sent to a reservoir named Salmokji to reshoot road-view footage after an unidentified figure was spotted in their initial footage. There, they encounter a mysterious presence lurking in the dark, deep water. Kim Hye Yoon takes on the role of Soo In, a producing director who leads the crew to Salmokji to re-photograph the street view image in which the mysterious figure was captured. Soo In, who said, “I only believe what I’ve seen with my own eyes,” will be depicted undergoing psychological changes as she confronts unexplainable terror as well as engaging in a desperate struggle with her colleagues to escape Salmokji. The newly released stills capture extreme emotions—from a startled facial expression as if she has witnessed something in the night at Salmokji to a face filled with fear. Director Lee Sang Min remarked, “She is a character with a strong sense of responsibility—someone who is afraid but tries to resolve things to the very end. We judged that Kim Hye Yoon’s sharp and powerful image suits Soo In, who is cool-headed and quick-witted. From the start, Soo In had to be portrayed by Kim Hye Yoon.” “Whispering Water” is scheduled to hit theaters on April 8. Stay tuned!
Kim Hye Yoon Encounters Terrifying Unknown At Cursed Reservoir In Poster For New Horror Film “Whispering Water”
The upcoming film “Whispering Water” has unveiled two new posters! “Whispering Water” is a horror film about a production crew sent to a reservoir named Salmokji to reshoot road-view footage after an unidentified figure was spotted in their initial footage. There, they encounter a mysterious presence lurking in the dark, deep water. The two newly released posters heighten anticipation by bringing the terror of Salmokji to life—a place described by the tagline, “A crossing point between life and death,” where escaping alive is said to be impossible. A shadowy, unidentified figure standing in the middle of the darkness-covered reservoir, along with a grotesquely shaped tree that appears as though something could emerge from between its branches, creates a chilling and suspenseful mood. Meanwhile, the back view of Su In (Kim Hye Yoon) sitting alone by the water raises curiosity about whether she and the filming crew—who have stepped into a place they should never have entered—will be able to escape safely. As Su In shines her flashlight into the water, tension builds over the mysterious presence she may be facing, while the ominous view of Salmokji—seemingly pulling her into its depths—casts a dark sense of dread over what awaits beneath the surface. “Whispering Water” is set to hit theaters on April 8.
