Ha Ji-won revisits Damo for Secret Garden
by javabeans
Ha Ji-won finds herself back in Joseon-era costume for the upcoming episode of her current rom-com series Secret Garden, which airs this weekend. Ha is pictured above holding a script titled “Are You In Pain? So Am I,” which I presume is the new movie production that Ra-im, her stuntwoman character, finds herself working on.
The show has been delighting fans not just for its humor and the crackling chemistry between Ha and co-star Hyun Bin, but also the little pop-culture references sprinkled throughout the episodes, which include this brief transformation: Ha played a Joseon-era policewoman in the much-loved 2003 drama Damo, which was one of her most memorable early performances.
In fact, a production source explains that her character in this movie-within-the-drama actually IS Damo’s Chae-ok, not just a character who happens to look the same.

It’s been seven years since she won viewers over as Damo’s Chae-ok, but the costuming’s pretty spot-on, no?
Ha Ji-won said, “Re-encountering Chae-ok after such a long time is both a thrilling and happy thing. Because Damo was a drama that was very important in bringing me to this point, Chae-ok is especially dear to me. To be able to act as Chae-ok through Secret Garden brings back old memories.”
Secret Garden has been enjoying 20% ratings and will feature this scene in its 10th episode, which airs on Sunday.

The reason I got hooked on Kdrama is the drama "Ysan"
In which Lee Seo Jin is the lead male character.
Then I followed him and found "Damo".
The two Ha Ji won and Lee Seo Jin are the two actor and actress I respect the most. Their lives were kept in private and not broadcasting like most of American movie stars.
The Koreans finally speed up their history and status in the world. They translated their movies and dramas to many languages. The Korean entertaining industry is now bypassed their counterpart Japanese. That's why there are many protests when a Halyu star get to Japan these days.
South Korea now is one of the leading county in the world by their faith in believing in Christ. almost half of the citizens are Christians. Believe it or not you can check on the status of their religious data.

Damo is my favorite. She was terrific there. It actually hurt my heart that they all died. The sound track stole my heart and it's all I can think of. Watch Empress ki. Haji won was a force to reckon with.
