April Snow

There is an old Korean saying that there is nothing to eat at a party which is too noisy. The proverb means if the exterior of something is too impressive, it could be rather empty inside. Moviegoers would be wise to keep this in mind in the case of the new film “April Snow.”

Boasting the combination of veteran director Hur Jin-ho of “Christmas in August” and “One Fine Spring Day” and Bae Yong-joon, the star of the hit South Korean drama “Winter Sonata,” the film has gained much attention ahead of its opening in South Korea and other Asian countries. But the result is not a good addition to Hur’s filmography due to its humdrum plot and a weakly-nuanced performance by its two lead actors.

Hur’s previous two offerings were acclaimed by critics as romance genre works that subtly depicted the freshness of just-started love and the cruelty of variable love, respectively, without much dialogue. So many of his fans might have anticipated another Hur-style romance film with more commercial possibility due to Bae’s presence.

At the hospital in April Snow

場景 1 - 三陟醫院

裴勇俊和孫藝珍第一次見面的場景。兩個心焦的人為了另一半的車禍趕來這裡，卻也讓他們在日後意外地產生情愫。不過，這個點畢竟是醫院，並不對影迷公開，影迷只能在外面拍照留念。

場景 2 - 三興汽車旅館 210、205 號房

劇中兩人看護另一半時投宿的汽車旅館，孫藝珍住210號房、裴勇俊住205號房。旅館雖然不豪華卻相當有70年代的味道。205號房目前已成為裴勇俊物品展覽室，展示裴帥開的車子的車牌、背包等，當然還有許多劇照。一想到裴帥就住在這裡、站在窗戶邊向外拍照，還真讓人捨不得離開！

場景 3 - 竹西樓長椅

竹西樓建於600多年前，為韓國重要歷史文化財產，園內綠蔭盎然、環境清幽，被譽為「關東八景」之一。劇中互生好感的男女主角在園內散步，並坐在這張長椅上互訴心聲，那個畫面讓人好生憧憬。

場景 4 - 「腳踏車小偷」咖啡廳

位於三興汽車旅館對面，白色門面很歐風，沿著貼滿裴帥照片的樓梯上到二樓，牆上掛著一部腳踏車裝飾。整個咖啡廳原本就很有特色，加上裴帥加持更有分量！尤其裴帥和孫藝珍坐過的位子，變成粉絲爭相預訂的寶座。

場景 5 - 三陟Palace飯店 1407號房

一走進房間就不禁興奮起來，因為裡頭掛著裴帥劇中穿過的衣服，教人看了真想偷偷帶回家！房間的床鋪是男女主角拍床上談情的地方，超大幅劇照貼在床鋪上頭，只見兩人深情對望……哇～凍未條喔！

場景 6 - 三陟市警察局

在這裡拍攝了裴勇俊驚聞意外消息趕來的場景。警察伯伯對粉絲前來朝拜早見怪不怪，說不定還是故意站在門口讓人拍照呢！不過，警察局和醫院一樣，畢竟不是觀光景點，所以在警察局附近另外蓋了一個公園，成為不錯的歇腳點。

〈和裴帥一起吃！〉
「恩惠」食堂

這家餐廳其實叫「恩惠」Seune餐廳，是劇組人員和裴帥在拍攝期間經常光顧的餐廳。餐廳的「恩惠套餐」據說是裴帥超愛的餐點，因此有粉絲乾脆稱它是「勇樣定食」、「裴勇俊套餐」呢！

Bae Yong Joon Set Meal

既然裴帥愛吃，那可千萬不能錯過。點來一看，原來是韓國常見的韓式定食，一套約有20來道菜，有烤魚、泡菜、豆腐、小魚乾、青菜、章魚切片等。和偶像吃同樣的餐點，想必粉絲們心中一定有許多感想，餐廳牆壁就順理成章地變成心情留言板，讓大家把對裴帥的種種愛慕，密密麻麻地寫滿了各個牆壁，讓人看了真是歎為觀止！

吃完飯，別忘了到其中一間貼著裴帥照片的小房間參觀，據說，靠右邊的地板位置，就是裴帥吃完飯後躺著休息的地方喔！

電話：+82（0 )335737969
費用：「恩惠套餐」每人10,000韓圓

〈和裴帥一起住！〉
三陟Palace飯店

這家飯店幾乎成為「裴勇俊代言飯店」！主要因為在電影拍攝期間，裴帥及工作人員都住這裡，整座飯店從上到下，無處不見裴帥蹤影：入門大廳柱子上的巨幅海報、裴帥練身體的健身房中，還有 有他寫真集中很MAN的肌肉照、每個樓層的電梯門一開，立刻見到的也是男女主角劇照，更別提裴帥和孫藝珍住過的1601號房、1501號房，是如何強調他們的存在，連該樓層的牆壁都布置成各國粉絲用筆吐露仰慕之意的心情告示板！

相對於1501號房可供粉絲住宿，裴帥的1601號房只供參觀不對外營業，浴室裡還陳列著當時裴帥用過的沐浴用品、裴帥曾使用的按摩浴缸、三溫暖；客廳裡他曾坐過的沙發、臥室中睡過的床……，每個角落都彷彿還有著裴帥呼吸過的氣息呢！

電話：+82（0 )335757000
網址： http://www.palacehotel.co.kr
費用：08：00～10：00飯店開放參觀4個景點，每人25,000韓圓；住宿1501號房一晚100萬韓圓。

〈和裴帥一起喝！〉
「映咖啡」柚子茶

據「映咖啡」老闆表示，裴勇俊拍戲期間喜歡來此休憩、背台詞；劇組人員也常在此聚會討論。裴勇俊感冒的時候，就是喝店內的柚子茶，後來就變成裴帥挺喜愛的飲料喔！

聽到老闆這麼一說，粉絲們也當仁不讓地要嘗嘗柚子茶，嗯，酸酸甜甜、清心潤喉，真的很好喝呢！這家咖啡店內也販賣裴帥的相關產品，鑰匙圈、戴眼鏡圍圍巾的裴帥模樣小熊吊飾和T恤等，還有印著裴帥照片的小毛巾喔！不過，即使買回去也應該捨不得用吧！

電話：+82（0)335760064
費用：一杯4,000韓圓。

April Snow starring BYJ is running the 1st rank in the advanced purchase of box office. April Snow
gained 40.27% at Maxmovie to ranking no. 1, along with various portals such as 30.4% at Ticket Link, 38.8% at Interpark, 36.1% at Cine 21, 36.11% at Movie OK, and 29% at Sizzle.

April Snow has received attention as one of the most expected movie of autumn season, but the result is surprising because this is the result of competition with other competitors of various genres such as comedy and action movies.

It is very rare that Mello-movie ranked the 1st in Choosuck season. Considering the fact that April Snow is ranked ‘over 18′, its running the 1st is even more surprising.

We should also focus on the fact that the style of Bae Yong Joon’s performance has totally changed in this movie. He used to study all the aspect of the character, lines, movement, etc. when he performed before. He even considered the angle of light and camera when he picked up a glass.

But in April Snow, he performed only with his feelings. Bae Yong Joon did this by the order of director’s style of work. The scene dining and drinking alcohol at a restaurant was taken while actually drinking alcohol, without any lines or instruction.
