“The Princess and the Matchmaker” is a romantic historical comedy set in the Joseon period and the second entry in a loose projected trilogy from Jupiter Films concerned with Korea’s traditions of fortune-telling, following Han Jae-rim’s “The Face Reader”
The Princess and the Matchmaker is screening at London Korean Film Festival
The story takes place in 1753 during the reign of King Yeongjo (played by Kim Sang-Kyung). Joseon suffers because of a long-term drought with all the inevitable consequences for the country and for the people. To overcome the difficulties, King’s consultants suggest the marriage of Princess Song-Hwa (played by Shim Eun-Kyung), believing this marriage will eventually put an end to all suffering by bringing back harmony and balance to the Kingdom. King Yeongjo accepts their proposal and immediately organises a public invitation for the selection of a suitable husband in terms of marital harmony and compatibility.

It seems to be the current trend in South Korean films to take a modern-day disaster movie setting and place it in the Joseon period. After seeing a giant creature attack the country in the upcoming “Monstrum”, the Joseon period will now be having to fight the undead in director Kim Sung-hoon’s next film “Rampant“.
Synopsis
Yi Chung is a Prince of Joseon, but he has been given as a political hostage to the Qing Dynasty. He enjoys boozing, womanizing and gambling. He is also an excellent swordsman. His older brother Yi Young will succeed to the throne and brings Yi Chung back to Joseon. He returns after more than 10 years. Soon, Yi Chung faces monsters that run rampant in the night.
Hyun Bin is likely to see the year out with a bang, having the hostage thriller “The Negotiation” releasing in September followed swiftly by “Rampant” in October,...
