It might have been more exciting and complete if the famous and charming celebrity husband and wife would be together on one stage to greet the whole wide world, including the Philippines, a happy and memorable day from their vantage point in an international film festival.
But the local and international audiences, anyway, just have to make do of what is available.
The presence of one is the presence of the other in more ways than one, as a matter of course.
In this case, the other half in real life of the Hyun couple, Son Ye-Jin, will be the one to be feted with a retrospective although the husband would feel honored just the same for his wife.
The legendary Hyun Bin—the other half of the tandem of the hit series "Crash Landing on You"—however, would just give Son the moral boost.
Many Filipino fans of hallyu will resonate with the romantic relationship of Hyun and Son who got married in 2020.
They are blessed with one kid.
On July 6, the 28th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFAN) will pay homage to the twenty-three illustrious acting years of Ye-Jin, in a program billed "One and Only Son Ye-Jin," by screening some of her exceptional films, book publication of her life and photo exhibition.
Every year since 2017, BIFAN bestows honors to iconic Korean actors and actresses who have contributed to the advancement of Korean movie and other entertainment industries.
Other recipients in the past of BIFAN recognitions include Jeon Do-yeon, Jung Woo-sung, Kim Hye-soo, Seol Kyung-gu and Choi Min-sik.
Tribute to Son perfectly honors the actress' captivating charm and unparalleled talent.
Some of the movies which Ye-Jin had starred in to be screened at the Hyundai Department Store in Jongdung, Main Building, 9F, Culture Hall are "A Moment To Remember," "The Truth Beneath," "The Last Princess," "The Classic," etc.
BIFAN kicks off on the 4th and culminates on the 14th of July in various events and screening venues in eleven days in Bucheon City.
