For those of you who share past times similar to my own, you may want to look at this Chosun feature on Yoon Young-im part of the security detail a Seven Luck casino:
Switching from a KTO employee to a monitoring agent wasn’t easy. Working with an American expert, she underwent intensive one-on-one training in Baccarat, blackjack and poker, and ways to detect sharpers. She reviewed videos of cheaters discovered in real casinos countless times. She continues to hone her skills by watching gambling movies like “Tajja (The War of Flower)”, “21″, and “Rounders.” She also meets regularly with fellow casino experts in Las Vegas and Macau to swap information on new tricks and blacklisted gamblers.
Anybody know this Tajja movie? Sounds interesting. However if it is anything like Rounders or 21 on showing cheats, I am not sure. Personally I recommend Yonkers Joe to her, but then there are NO FREAKING CRAPS TABLES IN KOREA. Sorry had to get that off my chest.
Meanwhile, it’s too bad she is not running the security for those above her.

Dram, We do not share any “past times” — I just met you a year or two ago — but we do share the “pasttime” of gambling and I hope to see you at the craps tables in Macau sometime.
The movie starred Kim Hye-Soo. It’s usually spelled “Tazza.” It came out in 2006. I recommend the movie for Kim Hye-Soo’s body, but little else. It was a long, boring movie about young Korean gambling thugs with attitude. Fast forward to the part, early in the film, with Kim Hye-Soo nude with the young lead and skip the rest.

Actually, I liked the film (Cho Seung-woo is cool), even though Kim Hye-soo certainly made it more enjoyable.
I like the film. Story was good. Good cast — esp KHS’ dresses.
Me too – good film.
