HIFF showing of Shanghai Calling

Daniel Henney has a new movie out called Shanghai Calling.  Daniel is most noted for being a K-Drama actor as well as acting in a short U.S. TV series in the called Three Rivers.

On a side note: Daniel will be reunited with fellow Three Rivers co-star Alex O'Loughlin.  Daniel will guest star on Hawaii 5-0 with Alex, who stars as Steve McGarrett.  The episode will air in November.

HIFF first viewing of Shanghai Calling was on Friday, Oct 12th.  The movie is a light romantic comedy that mostly takes place in Shanghai.  Daniels plays Sam, a NY lawyer being sent to Shanghai for an assignment.  As when he first started acting in K-Dramas he barely spoke any Korean.  Well, Daniel didn't speak any Chinese either.  The movie is mostly in English with some english subtitles.  He is suppose to play an American Chinese but I can't get over the fact that he is Korean, probably because I've always known him to be a Korean actor.

I really enjoyed the movie and I must say it was way better than his Korean romantic comedy, Seducing Mr. Perfect.  I would actually buy the DVD and watch it again.

Daniel Henney and Daniel Hsia, the director, made an appearance after the show.  They had a Q&A, where fans could ask questions to both Daniels and could win a t-shirt from the movie.

His fan club, Hermosa International, even had a brief meet and greet with him.  He was very accommodating, friendly, charming and very tall.
