Massive Actor and Actress Cast Assembled to Play Same Character for K-movie Beauty Inside

• This sounds like a mess. Sorry!

  • I agree with you. It's a movie and 70 actors and actresses playing one character is just...too much, I think.

    • assuming this movie is 2.5 hours, for 70 artists, each of them get around 2.17 min. Hmm, how can viewers can connect with the "male character?"

    • If you read my post carefully, it's 20 actors playing one character in the present time, the other 50 maybe get a second or two of screen time via flashbacks. And within the 20 actors, clearly a few will be more prominent and the others likely for the lulz or sentimental factor.

    • @j2hr, considering the 50 will be in flashbacks, those will probably be just a glance, like a flashback montage explaining his condition or something.

      Which still leaves us 5-7 minutes or so for each "regular" actor, so I agree, it sounds tough. There is no way this will feel like the same person with such frequent changes, unless that's the point, which would be odd. It sounds like a disaster for what it seems they want to achieve, frankly.

• So everyone gets a 5 minute screen time? Lol sorry it just sounds weird

  • I doubt most of them get more than a few seconds. It still sounds weird though.

  • Kinda like an idol group's vocals.

    • Lol! :)

    • Hahaha

• Love it. It may need major explaining afterwards, but I'd watch it.

• Lool.. I don't understand why Park shin hye have to play in these small roles since she has already created a huge Name and brand within the film industry. pointless seeing her not respecting herself

  • I'm glad she accepts these small roles, this only proves that she is humble and simple and does not mind being a major role, despite its title and reputation as a leading actress

    • Also, Park has created a name within the drama industry. That is very different to the film industry. Korean drama is not the place for a long-term career. The minute someone new and trendy comes out that is loved, she will become the next "Park Shin Hye". Even if not, the minute this one gets to a certain age, she will not be considered lead-worthy by drama anymore. Especially true for women.

      The movie industry is where most people serious about acting and their career lasting long and being decent want to go. So if anything, this shows she's smart and knows her place, which still needs work to be considered valuable by cinema standards.

      This movie sounds very much like the kind critics will like and the kind that will get exposure at festivals and get some discussion going. Perfect for one to keep the typecasting of the "our beloved drama sweetie" variety at bay and gain prestige as an actress, not just a popular drama star.

  • She hasn't created a huge name for herself in film at all. She may take on popular roles in dramas, but she still has to build a repertoire for films. That's not a bad thing. It's also good that her movie roles are diverse as compared to the drama roles she plays.

  • Go Ah Sung is a bigger name in film industry and she still gets this role, why cant PSH? she many be a popular drama actress, but she is still nobody in Chungmuro

  • @ Joey,

    Try not to talk with such certainty on a topic to which it's clear you know little about. Park Shin Hye is a relatively newbie still in Chungmuro. That's a fact. If The Tailors is a hit and she wins acclaim then she'll have a firm foot in the door. Until then her only serious K-movie remains a side role in Miracle in Cell 7 and that movie was all about Ryu Seung Ryong. Having a leading lady Yeouido career means diddly squat in the bigger pond that is Chungmuro. The same is not true in reverse since a Chungmuro leading man or woman would be a major get for any TV network to coax back to do a drama. And finally, the respect comment is so ridiculous I can't even. Even the biggest Hollywood movie stars do cameos, and sometimes completely uncredited. It's called goodwill and art and connections and maybe even for the fun of it. Johnny Depp was just in Tusk without his name even showing up in the credits while this past weekend Interstellar had a major movie star in a pivotal role that wasn't even promoted to keep his cameo involvement a secret.

      PSH has A name nowadays and even her haters can't deny that? Call it Drama or Film? PSH has established Herself A name(brand).

      There is only one actress who would top her and thats the Queen of them all Gienna Jun. the rest of the actresses are far behind lady Park Shin Hye.

    • @joey,
      Yes, PSH is popular in SK but it doesn't mean that she is a well-established actor in Chungmuro. And like what Koala previously stated PSH has yet to have a major lead role in a film. Her role in Miracle in Cell no. 7 is not considered a lead role since she only appeared onscreen roughly around 15 minutes or so.
      There is a huge difference between popularity and critical acclaim.

    • @ Joey
      Dude, I'm a fan of Park Shin Hye, but you're wrong, his career in film is small and had good roles but all so far have been secondary and supportive, not blind you, I am your fan and I am happy to go slowly and to built his career slowly, but still has a way to go to be that star I want it to be. Greetings and sorry for my bad English

    • @ Joey
      o wow, only Jeon Ji Hyun is above Park Shin Hye..lol! ..if I had to name one actress that is the most in demand in. Chungmuro it would probably be someone like Jeon Do Yeon and even that's arguable

  • Wow, clearly, you're going to believe what you want to believe (seeing your reply to ocKoala's comment). I'm a huge fan of Park Shin Hye, but even I know that she isn't the brand name that you keep insisting she is. She has a massive international fanbase, so it may seem like that's the case. But in SK, she has yet to make her mark. It was only after Heirs, that she skyrocketed to a different level of fame in Korea (although I wish it would have been for a better project, but what can we do), but even then that's only a small achievement in the eyes of the film industry. That said, I detest that you said Park Shin Hye doesn't have self-respect for accepting a 'small' role. I won't even dignify that with a response.

  • You don't sound like a fan but more like a troll... PSH has never minded small roles in movies as long as she likes it

• the premise looks alot like the book "Everyday" by David Levithan...

  • No, this movie is the Korean loose adaptation of the Toshiba/Intel social online film The Beauty Inside from 2012. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beauty_Inside

    • Don't know too much about The Beauty Inside but I also thought it sounded like Everyday which is about a boy who wakes up as someone different every morning until one day he becomes 'stuck' as one person

    • I was just going to comment on that. I liked those videos. I just have mixed feelings about them all being Korean, since the character can change nationality...
      Nevertheless please keep us posted on this, I'm curious how it will end up.
      Please and thank you

  • Totally also thought of that book too when I first heard about it. The whole 'waking up in different bodies' thing.

• This sounds like a movie adaptation to David Levithan's book, "Every Day."

• This sounds bad, like real bad. I think they're letting the more well-known names get more screentime and the others are just there so that they stick to the waking up with a different body thing. Not that 5 people playing the same role isn't bad enough.

• Any film that makes me sit up and pay attention is a good one. It is supposed to make you uneasy and think. Memento was in reverse order, Orlando had Tilda Swinton playing male and female, Eternal Sunshine was just so confusing. Maybe it won't be a huge money maker but it'll be super cool. I can imagine the actors are lining up to be in this just so they can say they were.

• Sounds so much like david levithan's everyday. Owned the book but have not read it yet. But seems similar summary-wise.

• Sounds crazy.
