There are many beautiful women in this world. But not everyone is called 'Barbie doll'. After making herself first known through KBS TV series "Autumn in my Heart", Han Chae-young has always been recognized for her unrivaled beauty. Yet at the same time, her 'goddess-like' appearance was also what created a distance between her and the audience.
So could it be that she herself sensed the disharmony that although she has a beauty which people cannot easily take their eyes off, it also makes it hard for people to approach her? Because for a while, Han appeared on the small screen playing roles far from her long-known image... |More

Glamorous actress Han Chae-young is getting ready to work in her first overseas film, " Soul Mate ". She will leave for New Zealand in February to start filming in early March. " Soul Mate " is her first English acting role. Although it will be filmed in New Zealand, it's due for distribution in the U.S., Canada, and other English-speaking regions. Having grown up in America, Han speaks fluent English, which opens up greater opportunities to work in English films.
Earlier in the month, she appeared on today's hottest drama, "Boys over Flowers" as the sister of main character Koo Jun-pyo. Her cameo appearance left an indelible impact on the show, fueling the drama's explosive popularity. Han had refrained from taking part in any other dramas while preparing for her role in " Soul Mate ", but made an exception for "Boys over Flowers", because it's directed by a producer, who also supervised her hit drama, "Sassy Girl, Chun-hyang", in 2004.

"Sassy Girl, Chun-hyang" is the 2005 interpretation of the "Legend of Chun-hyang". The story begins when Lee Mong-ryong is transferred from Seoul to a high school in Namwon, North Jeolla Province. Chun-hyang does her best to help Mong-ryong, her first love and the son of the Namwon Police Station chief, to enter a prestigious university. However, after meeting with Mong-ryong's first love, Chae-rin, Mong-ryong's love toward Chun-hyang is shattered, although Chun-hyang's love remains unwavering.
One day, Byeon Hak-do, CEO of a famous entertainment company, appears in her life. He exudes confidence that he can make any woman fall for him. But as Chun-hyang shows no interest in him, his self-esteem is damaged profoundly. Byeon Hak-do is determined to make her love him.
The production team of this drama says they wanted to present a whole new image of Chun-hyang in line with modern times as she is an attractive female character who showed courage in choosing her love in the Joseon period, when Confucianism was a dominant value.
This fusion-style drama makes various new attempts in terms of genre, such as mixing rap with Pansori (Korean opera) for background music.
