Song Seung-heon’s Ghost screens in LA

Listen up, Song Seung-heon fans: If you’re in the LA area, you’ll get a chance to pop in to see his move Ghost: Invisible Love, aka the remake of the Ghost film starring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore from ye olden ’90s. (Seriously, they’ve even got the famous pottery-wheel scene.) The movie begins screening tomorrow, February 25, so be sure to set aside some time for some Song Seung-heon ogling. Yeah, there’s a plot too, but I’m sure you’ve all seen the original?

It also stars Japanese actress Matsushima Nanako, who’s from the Ringu movies, although I know her better as the older sis from the Hana Yori Dango (Boys Over Flowers) franchise.

Courtesy of CJ Entertainment, Dramabeans readers get a discount to watch the film at Koreatown’s CGV Cinemas (the same theater that gave us giveaway tickets for Hello Ghost). Just print out the above coupon and take it with you to the theater to redeem. Easy as that!

We’ve talked about this movie a couple times before, and the Japanese-Korean co-production was released at home last fall. Lest you think it’s a cheesy scene-for-scene remake of the original, it boasts one key difference: The one who dies and revisits the lover is the woman, not the man — which is, let’s be honest, probably a good thing given Song’s rather limited (1) Japanese, and (2) melo skills. (Oh, the guy can do the glowering action star act in his sleep; it’s heartfelt emotion that his bot-programming has yet to master.)

The movie is in Japanese, and screens with Korean subtitles. (I know, it’s too bad there’s no English subs, but again, we’re mostly watching this for The Pretty, right?)
