She owns the word Charisma!!! Can't wait to see this.

Yes this is one of he reasons why Han JI Won is one of my girl crushes. And JB I do agree with you that if she had taken the Athena role she would've owned it.

i love HaJiWon. i just fell in love with her from Love So Divine and from then on, just followed her religiously (altho i havent seen What Happened in Bali. lol).

she's still the best in Duelist - that or I just love her and KDW together. heh.

Can't wait to see HyunBin back on my Tv screen =)

hehe... i was wondering when you would post this!!
and yep... Ha ji won is sexy as an asian lara croft... heck, as ANY lara croft. that actress is mesmerizing...
I'm fine with Soo Ae being in Athena... since that means hyun bin is paired with HJW here...

she's hot as always..cant wait to see her with Hyun Bin..

since this will be a weekend drama, will it be a long series too?

not really into her look or other departments, maybe I'm more into younger girls or cuties one, but I enjoy her acting.

One of the most talented actresses out there.

What about Ha Ji Won AND Su Ae in Athena? HJW could replace Lee Jia and I don't mind seeing HJW with JWS instead of LJ who doesn't deserve to be in the same screen with his almighty Jung Woo Sung! (LOL)

Seriously though, I'm getting excited about this series, because its Hyun Bin and her.

My girl crush! She looks amazing. The soul/body-switching twist is something that makes me a bit O___o and Hyun Bin is bleh to me, but I'll give it a chance b/c of this terrific, badass actress.

Cant wait to see some stills of Yoon Sang Hyun!

There's trading bodies/souls involved in this drama? Where do I sign up? And may I say she is looking PHAT: Pretty Hot AND Tight! HAHAHA! *cue the cheesy music*

lara croft just died a million deaths i think! Ha ji won FTW! cant wait to see her and binnie together! they'll make a fine pair i think!

Badass Ha Ji-won?! Loves it! Secret Garden sounds very interesting, can't wait.

I never liked her in What Happened in Bali but I loved her in Hwang Jin Yi. It's good to see her back in small screen.

Totally agreement on her owning the Athena role..
I too am a fan of Su Ae yet having a bit of a problem with her being strong enough to pull off the role.

Ha Ji Won looking forward to this drama.

woah! she looks like taemin!

I adored her in "What Happened in Bali". She can cry on a wink. Great actress. I hope in this new drama, she gets to be happier.

Ha Ji Won! She's my favourite Korean actress. Loved her in all her works. She looks great here! :D

HJW was awesome in all her dramas she had starred in.

I particularly loved her roles in Damo & WHIB .
She really earn the title as a great & talented actress that can fits all roles given to her.

Agreeing with JB, she should had been in Athena, she will have rock her character there.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing her new upcoming drama Secret Garden.

What I loved about her in Bali was, we never knew til the end who she really loves. It's like 'oh, jo in sung was the second lead but ... Ahh I think it's so ji sub..' As she was confused with her feelings, the audiences were confused as well. Awesome.

She's so sexy I want to shove donuts into her mouth! Hahaha. Green-eyed monster.

Her look is very Tomb Raider.

HJW rocks!

I really liked liked her in damo best, though i also liked her in whib. ;-)

"It makes you wonder what would’ve happened if she’d taken the lead in Athena; no disrespect to Su Ae, whom I like a lot, but Ha would OWN that role. "

Almost goes without saying. Ha Ji Won was a B-movie queen (she is to horror what Moon So Ri is to independent), before she became an A-list star. When people think of sex comedy, action babe, scream queen, etc. who else but the master of OPW? Arguably the most versatile mainstream actress in Chungmuro.

Which is also why Soo Ae makes such an intriguing choice. Very much casting against type.

totally agree w/you. ha ji won is one of the best actresses in korea.

Oh god, I think American action films have corrupted my mind. . . .because the first thought that ran across my mind when I saw the first picture: "She's wearing too much clothes."

I mean, it's a welcome change from the skimpy outfits American actresses wear but wow. Can't believe that was my first reaction. X_X

Hm, I don't really like the casting of Hyun Bin much XD But she's awesome, so maybe I'll give it a try : )

this outfit reminds me FF a lot

SQUEEEEEAL

LOL. Mine! I'm going to start claiming actresses because all the actors are taken already. Mine...mine...mine! :)

If you haven't seen her in DAMO, I highly recommend it =) I thought that she, along with the the two males leads, was very good. The ending was sad, but nothing compared to the epically depressing end of Bali!

angle makes her look so stumpy.

Yeah. Am I the only one who thinks the ending of WHIB was kind of..sick D: Or at least disturbing ^^'

Spoiler alert!
"No, she cheated on me, even though I told her to stay away, now I'll shoot her and the guy she's with, but what's that, she loves me after all, so I'll shoot myself out of regret now."

Um, okay...? XD Right.

I love this girl !!! :} Love, love, love ...

Unlike many other actresses she can kick major ass and make it look believable, aaaand look gorgeous at the same time. What's not to like about her? :)))

For the OPW fiends and WHiB faithful . . .

As many a Bali fan knows, one of the defining scenes is Jo In Sung "fist in mouth" emotional breakdown whilst clutching Ha Ji Won's leg. And as many a Shinhwa fan knows, Andy does a HILARIOUS impression of that.

And so . . . Ha Ji Won doing the Love Letter show with Shinhwa. Skip to 6:50. ;)

i was just watching ha jiwon's episode in family ouyting and how adorable and cute she was in it. and this is the reason that she's one of my fave actress. she can be anywhere bet cute, sexy, badass, innocent. but i always love the real jiwon...simple and happy go lucky!

she could really do anything from period drama to action...... not to mention her earlier works... but above all of this, she took time to finish her studies...

Okay, she looks pretty hot and badass in those shots.

I may have to check this one out. I love tv shows and movies that feature a beautiful, butt kicking heroine. Let's see- Buffy, Faith(also in Buffy), Alias, Dark Angel, Jessica Biel in Blade, Bones, Nikita....

Yeah, I may have to check this one out. =)

Gosh I do love me some Ha Ji Won. She exudes this sort of sexy-graceful-cute-all-around-female look that is just innately her. Damn I love her, no homo.

She's got that "Make My Day!" face and thighs that could kick some major ass and then some. Not your typical twig-like Korean actresses. Loved her in Duelist!

" Ha Ji Won has that enviable high cheekbone structure, but her facial features are also very strong. To me, she and Seo Hyun of SNSD kinda have the Go Hyun Jung/Moon Geun Young likeness going on. "

Really!? O_o
There is one thing I'll probably never understand about the kdrama world and it's the weird beauty standards. How can you call Ha Ji Won's or Seo Hyun's facial features very strong. All I see is beautiful. In fact, I can't remember ever seeing "not pretty" korean actress or celebrity, although I've heard the "not pretty enough" accusation thrown left and right for people like Kim Sun Ah and Moon Geun Young . I swear I can't understand why. They're all gorgeous.

Ditto everyone on the lara croft... though I have to agree with JB that the stills look kinda cheesy.

HJW seriously drips with charisma.

whut!!! I just realised that this is from her upcoming DRAMA!!! Why did I think it's another movie? gaaahhh after 4 years!!! let me shed a little tears of joy...

what can I say, she IS my #1 K-actress. I am so happy with her return to TV. November can't come sooner.

WHIB is my first KDrama to watch and it is make me fall in love with Kdrama again after Autumn In myheart.. this drama is crazy, becoz make me confused and divided my heart to 2 male lead..hohohohoho...

She is my first K-Actress that I liked very much, I already watched her dramas and movies..(all of them)..Damo is Kickass or badass...Ha ji won !!! I miss her since Hwang Jin I... glad she is comeback....

deffi badass..luv it

HJW looks hot b/c she actually has some nice muscle tone/shape to the thighs and arms, and isn't just thin like so many other Korean actresses or idols.

shes a brilliant actress and i cant wait to see more of her.

Love her....she always come out fresh and strong in every drama/movies she's in...hope to see her more this new year...
