Han Ga-in looks for drama comeback role
by javabeans
Han Ga-in has a new management team and a new goal of returning to television screens in the coming year. She’s eying four to five projects, raising the possibility that she might make her comeback at the same time that her husband, Yeon Jung-hoon, will be appearing in SBS’s medical sageuk Jejoongwon. Yeon had said last year during his East of Eden days that he’d like to work alongside his wife. For now, they won’t be in the same series, but it’s possible that they’ll be in dramas concurrently.
A few of Han potential projects include SBS’s OBGYN [산부인과] (which sounds better in Korean, really) and MBC’s A Man Called God [신이라 불리는 사나이]. The latter has already cast Song Il-kook; should Han sign on, it would be a reunion for the lead couple, who worked together in 2004’s Terms of Endearment.
Han’s last role was in the dissatisfactory 2007 trendy series Witch Amusement (aka Witch Yoo Hee) — and I don’t use that adjective lightly; Han and co-star Jae Hee both expressed their frustration with the crazed writing after the drama wrapped. (It was one of the worst-written dramas I’ve seen.) She’s stuck to CFs in the interim, but according to her management, “She feels some disappointment for her two-year hiatus, but she doesn’t want to be hasty with the decision for her next role.”
Personally, I have to put Han into the category of actors whose looks surpass their talents, but I leave open the possibility that she could have improved since Dr. Kkang and Super Rookie four years ago. (While she wasn’t great in Witch Amusement, she was the least of that drama’s problems.) Like with Kim Tae-hee, I haven’t really liked her acting but find her likable; she has an amiable, upbeat image that has served her well.

She is certainly very pretty. Some people might find it amusing, but I occasionally mistake her for Son Ye Jin. Indeed Witch Amusement was painful to watch back then. I stuck with it out of pure love and loyalty for Jae Hee.

She's very pretty, but that's about it. It's like a repeated phrase for most Korean actresses.
I know this has nothing to do with her, but I just read the news that Kim Kang-woo will be playing Leslie Cheung's role in the Korean remake of A Better Tomorrow. Lee Min-ki is out. In Jo Han-sun and Joo Jin-mo. What a cast. I actually care for this remake now.

She's lovely but her acting is indeed lacking. It depends on the drama, I guess; if her lack of ability meant she ruined a good drama then that would suck. With Witch Yoo Hee it just added to the crazy. =p

Her beauty is really radiance. Her skin is so flawless. It's the source of all envy.
Though the problems lies within the characters she picked. She always tend to end up playing the "damsel in distress" type of roles. I quess it's within her comfort zone. But to grow as an actor, one must try different type of roles. The only way to grow is to try it out.
Though i do love her. She's likeable enough to make me look passing her lack of acting abilities.

I think the only thing I liked her in is Yellow Handkerchief where she met her husband. She played a model and had a small supporting role. It wasn't a stretch. She does have a nice friendly aura about her.
Speaking of Yellow handkerchief how awesome was Lee Tae Ran in the lead role.

She is the only one that I call flawlessly, perfectly beautiful and she should be in close ups forever and ever.
@nycgirl, Yellow Handkerchief was the only thing I've seen her in as well. Then it's Witch...
I think she's diff fr KTH in being less ambitious. KTH 'challenges' herself, so she's more out there, and she really can stink up a good one. HGI seems contented to play the pretty damsel for the rest of her life and the dramas she was in, none was THAT great to begin with.

Lemme say that I think she totally rocks.
I've only seen her in Super Rookie (with Eric Mun and Oh Ji Ho), and the drama was really really fun to watch. Never a dull moment. Never once did I think, then (or now), that she wasn't good for the role. In fact, the one who sort of mailed in his performance was Oh Ji Ho.

Just give her some more chances. I believe she could do well in her next project.

I hope she gets to play a more emotional or bizarre character. I've only seen her in Super Rookie and half of Witch Amusement- her characters seem really bland.

I always end up watching the first few episodes of w/e drama she's in when it comes out and sigh she still can't act.
I always hope that she'll get better, but she should just doing CFs or modeling.
just stop acting

You know . . . I've never really liked her. Even before the disaster that was Witch Amusement, something about her bothered me. I think I'll actually steer clear of whatever series she picks up.

I like her for her personality. she's still lack in her acting, but she's very likable especially for her politeness & softness. and her beauty is a mix of pureness & innocent. although i agree she's still lack in acting, for me, she was superb in terms of endearment.

ooppss i knooow she's undoubtedly beautiful but it really caught my eye because her skin tone from her face until before it reaches the hairline above her forehead is completely different, the 'minor' photo manipulation is not a success though..
but good luck to her next projects!!! ^_^

What these actors dont realize is that there always someone better looking and more charming just waiting to take there place. So If she continues to play the same characters over and over again she wont ever improve.
Eventually everyone will forget about her

how ironic that I've actually became a fan of her since her last drama witch yoo hee.. I've found the series amusing although it was a flop.. and it's nice to know that she'll be coming back to doing dramas.. i'm really looking forward for her next drama role.. she's just so lovely.. very pretty

according to dailynews today, JANG SEO HEE (Cruel Temptation) and
SEO JI SEOK (Pure 19) has been casted as the lead actress/actor.
unless ...
the drama has more than 1 leading lady......
and if Han Ga In is confirmed in this drama, I think she will have problem coz
JSH is much better actress than her.
