But since her body was found on Oct. 2, an apparent suicide, she has become a symbol of the difficulties women face in this deeply conservative yet technologically savvy society. Incessant online gossip appears to have been largely to blame for her death. But it's also clear that public life as a single, working, divorced mom - still a pariah status in South Korea - was one role...
...Dubbed the "nation's actress," Choi starred in some 16 movies and more than a dozen TV soap operas throughout the 1990s. But her career took a hit in 2002, when the public learned of her troubled marriage and subsequent divorce from Cho Sung Min, who plays baseball for the big leagues across the sea in Japan.

...work on a screenplay titled--in a nod to Waugh--Bridesmaids Revisited), is sleeping with his 22-year-old gold-digging assistant, Lola, a viciously, flawlessly drawn avatar of the rising generation of postfeminist girl-women. But Philip still yearns for an old flame: Schiffer, an Oscar-winning actress whose new TV show is turning out to be a smash hit. Among these characters moves gentle, sophisticated, thwarted Billy Litchfield, a kind of freelance Guy Friday to rich people, who is very nice but way too poor to actually live in One Fifth...
