In the midst of sighs that there are no more females in leading roles, Ha Ji-won will challenge this.
Ha Ji-won will start filming "Seven Remedies" in New Zealand in June and will be coming back from a one-year hiatus.
After "Miracle on 1st Street" last February, she only appeared in cameos in "Last Present" and "Sex is Zero 2". Now, she will be spending the summer with "Seven Remedies".
"Seven Remedies" is about a monster that is transformed through viruses and a female character who tries to fight it.
It's drawing more attention because there are few movies with female lead roles, and those few fail to succeed. Most movies have male leads, but this one has put a female in the lead.
A representative of the production company said, "Ha Ji-won will be showing action like Angelina Jolie in 'Tomb Raider". Her fighting scene with the monster will be the highlight". He said that she received the lead role because of confidence in her.
Director KIM Jeong-kwon will next bring a drama with comical touches starring HA Ji-won and CHA Tae-hyeon. The film is titled "BA:BO" (Babo, English translation: fool). The film is an adaptation of a popular internet manwha (Korean equivalent of the Japanese manga, Chinese manhwa and the western comic) with a great emotional appeal.
CHA portrays a young man who stopped developing mentally after an accident at a young age. HA plays his youth friend who returns to her hometown and the two are reunited. HA's character is a talented pianist, but she suffers from stage fright.
CHA is a comedy star, most notably for his leading role in "My Sassy Girl". HA's filmography ranges from comedy to horror and includes the titles: "Sex is Zero", "Duelist" and "Phone". KIM is the director behind the romantic drama "Ditto". The film is scheduled for release at the end of February.
As Spring draws near, star actors Cha Tae-hyeon and Ha Ji-won will warm up the season with director's Kim Jeong-kwon's ("Ditto", "A Man Who Went to Mars") latest movie "BA:BO", a heart drenching drama slated for release Feb. 28.
"Fool" is a film adaptation of the explosively popular online cartoon "Babo" (which means "fool" or "oaf" in Korean) by Kang Full. It had millions of Netizens in tears, and the director, also a big fan, describes the movie version as being faithful to the original.
"I cried my eyes out when I read the cartoon", Cha told reporters during a promotional event at a Seoul hotel Monday. "After I was cast for the movie, I thought long and hard about how I would act out the role", said the face of romantic comedies like "My Sassy Girl" and "My Crazy First Love".
Cha takes his goofy guy-next-door image to play the town's jester, Seung-ryong. Once a bright young boy, he suffers a fatal accident, and at age 27 he has the intelli...| More
