She follows in the perilous footsteps of Kim Tae-hee , who recently appeared opposite Seol Kyung-goo in �Fight.� It attracted a mere 300,000 viewers amid controversy over Kim�s poor acting skills, which have been in question since her debut.
Ko So-young, whose beauty defies age, was also unlucky in films. Her movies �A.P.T� and �Go Go Sister� were both failures. And Moon Geun-young, once considered the queen of the small screen and the nation�s little sister, fell flat on her face with �Love Me Not.� After a long rest, she announced her return to TV soap opera.
From left Jeon Ji-hyun, Kim Tae-hee, Ko So-young and Song Hye-kyo.Song Hye-kyo, meanwhile, did not meet the expectations of fans in the movie �Hwangjiny�, although her performance was slightly better than those of some fellow actresses and it drew 1 million moviegoers. But that was not enough for the producer to make profit from the production, which cost W10 billion (US$1=W937).
Jeon Ji-hyun is well aware of what she is up against. In fact, she has been there before, with the failure of �Daisy� two years ago. So the new movie is clearly a critical juncture in her career: that is why she chose to work with director Chung Yun-chul and actor Hwang Jung-min, both renowned for their superb achievements.
But the road ahead is not easy. �A Man Once a Superman� will be released on Jan. 31, coinciding with other potential blockbusters like �Once upon a Time�, �Radio Days� and �The Game.� Will she be able to break the jinx?
