Han Ji Hye Returns after Six Months with New Drama “Witch of Legend”

Actress Han Ji Hye will be making her comeback on television with the new MBCdrama, “Witch of Legend.” (tentative English title of “전설의 마녀”)

According to an interview of a representative with isPlus, Han Ji Hye is back and ready to show a new side of herself in the MBC weekend drama “Witch of Legend” only six months after she finished the KBS 2TV “Beyond the Clouds.”

In the drama “Witch of Legend,” Han Ji Hye plays the role of an eldest daughter-in-law of a new baking company. She is the role model of ladies in Korea in their 20s and 30s who want to enter into the families of conglomerates. Bright, energetic, and cheerful, she is sincere and always positive no matter what the situation is.

“Witch of Legend” is about the four detained prisoners in room no. 10 at the second floor of Cheongju Women’s Penitentiary who are charged with murder, fraud, stock manipulation, and attempted murder. After being released, with the baking knowledge learned from the penitentiary, they opened a bakery and had a face-to-face with a baking company of a conglomerate.

“Witch of Legend” will air on October, after “Mama – Not Afraid of Anything in the World” that follows “Hotel King.”

han ji hye

Han Ji Hye’s last drama, KBS2’s Beyond the Clouds ended last Aprll and was a failure , rating-wise. It recorded 3% rating in average. For a prime time drama in a national TV, that’s a very low number.

 

But, Han Ji Hye is still a TV darling with her mellow innocent face.

So, the 30-year-old actress quickly grabbed another new drama, titled Witch of Legend(tentative title).

 

Witch of Legend tells story of 4 detained prison who filled a room in a jail. Those four women are convicted with murder, fraud, stock manipulation and attempted murder. In the jail, they learn about baking knowledge.

After leave the jail, the four of them started their new life with open a bakery and thus face the real challenge as they compete with big chain of baking conglomerate.

Han Ji Hye won’t play one of those prisoners, but instead she plays a perfect girl, bright, energetic, smart , the eldest daughter-in-law of a a new baking company.

 

Other cast for Witch of Legend are talented actresses Kim Hye Ja and Oh Hyun Kyung.

This drama is slated for MBC’s weekend program and will air next October.

Lineup confirmed for weekend underdog drama Legendary Witch

The lineup is complete for MBC’s upcoming Legendary Witch, and while it’s pretty much the lineup that had been previously mentioned, we now have a more complete picture of the “witches” of the title. That refers to the four women who serve prison time together for various crimes, who then set up a bakery together upon their release and find their business pitted against the tyranny of a large-scale corporation.

Han Ji-hye (I Summon You, Gold) has confirmed taking the lead role, and will be paired up with Ha Suk-jin (Thrice Married Woman) in the main loveline. Han’s character is a former orphan who married into a chaebol family, Shinhwa Group, that runs a bakery corporation. However, when her husband (and Shinhwa Group’s first son) dies, she is sent to the slammer via the machinations of the chairman. (The description doesn’t tell us what crime she is convicted of, but by process of elimination it looks like she’ll be nailed for manipulation of stock pricing.)

Ha Suk-jin plays a hotel chef who’s raising a daughter on his own after his wife dies. At his father-in-law’s suggestion, he starts giving baking lessons to the convicts at a prison, which is where he meets the heroine.

The three other “witches” will be played by Go Doo-shim (You’re the Best, Lee Soon-shin), Oh Hyun-kyung (King’s Family), and Ha Yeon-soo (Potato Star 2013QR3). The eldest of the bunch, Go Doo-shim is sent to prison after being wrongfully accused of killing her husband and son. She’s a kind, tender-hearted character who quietly helps the other convicts in prison.

Oh Hyun-kyung is the one convicted for fraud and is described as a walking time bomb with a foul mouth, a tough character with no fear and a brash manner. And last but not least, Ha Yeon-soo will play the maknae who’s there on attempted murder charges. She also has a tie to Shinhwa Group, having been the girlfriend to the second son back when she was a newbie model, before she got caught up in that attempted murder case.

The title has a couple different readings, the most obvious one being that shinhwa means legend, there are four witches, hence witches of legend. But the drama has made it a point to clarify that the “legend” of the title has a second reading, using hanja to make it read “witches of vindication” as well, since they’ll be redeeming their names and making new lives for themselves.

Yes, the writer and director pair did do the weekend makjang-fest Hundred Year Inheritance, but I find the character descriptions and setup to be promising, and if the drama can maintain an entertaining tone (without getting too shrill or crazy), I could see it living up to the “heartwarming, cheerful, and refreshing” description. Legendary Witches will premiere at the end of October.

Ha Suk-jin joins upcoming weekend drama Legendary Witch

HaSukJin1.jpg

Thank goodness Ha Suk-jin’s dramaland return didn’t take long. The actor, who wrapped Thrice-Married Woman in March, will be returning to MBC in the fall as the male lead in a weekender called Legendary Witch (or Witch of Legend). The new show’s premise sounds interesting: It will revolve around four women who were cellmates at Cheongju’s Penitentiary for Women. Each served time in the slammer, but for different crimes, running the gamut from tame (stock manipulation, fraud) to severe (attempted murder, murder).


Upon their discharge, the four women put the breadmaking skills they learned in prison to use, opening up a bakery together. (That may sound a bit hard to believe, but as we all know, stranger things have happened in dramas; it wouldn’t even be the first time.) Ha Suk-jin will play a hotel chef and widower who is raising his daughter alone after losing his wife six years earlier. In the drama, his heart begins to stir again for the female lead (Han Ji-hye is being courted) after meeting her at the vocational training center at the penitentiary.

Along with Han (Full Sun, I Summon You Gold), veteran matriarch Go Doo-shim, Oh Hyun-kyung (King’s Family) and oft-appearing supporting actress Byun Jung-soo are being courted to play the central characters. The show sounds a little like the extended version, with female cast, of Gift of Room 7, and if the episodes can capture even a tiny bit of the heart the movie had, it’s sure to be a winner.

Legendary Witch will air in October on MBC after Mama – Nothing to Fear concludes its run.
