  1. Ha Ji Won Lusts After Soldier Hyun Bin on ‘The King 2Hearts’

    Ha Ji Won's character in MBC drama 'The King 2Hearts' fangirling Rain, Kang Don Won, Jo In Sung, and Hyun Bin!

    'It's Hyun Bin-nie! It's only been a year since he enter the army! He's not an officer but since he's famous, he might be able to train with us.' An officier asks her, 'Aren't you just interested in pretty boys too much?'. She retorts back, 'Pretty boys? Do you think I like him because of his face? He's in the Marines! Even in our standards, he's cream of the crop.'

    Hyun Bin may be in the military, but he’s still making his way into dramas. Ha Ji Won especially drew out laughs for mentioning Hyun Bin not as an actor, but as a Marine Corps soldier from the eyes of her role, a North Korean Special Forces instructor.

    In the MBC drama The King 2Hearts, which aired its first episode on March 21, Ha Ji Won was reborn as Kim Hang Ah. Ha Ji Won had to go through North Korean dialect lessons and strict military training, and as Kim Hang Ah, she made many viewers laugh by staring at popular South Korean actors and showing her desire to be near them, saying, “He’s in the military, too. Maybe we could train together if I’m lucky.”

    The list of actors that Kim Hang Ah had pored over included Rain, Zo In Sung and Hyun Bin. It was especially entertaining as Ha Ji Won had acted as a couple with two of the three, Hyun Bin for SBS’ Secret Garden, and Zo In Sung for Something Happened in Bali.

    Ha Ji Won as Kim Hang Ah said, “Oh, Hyun Bin. He’s doing great. It’s only been a year since he entered the military. Since he has a big name maybe he’ll train with us,” and was immediately criticized for not being able to hide her girlish expectations. 

    She didn’t let up, however, and continued, “You think I like him because of his looks? He’s in the Marine Corps. That’s the equivalent of our (North Korea’s) Marine Navy Forces; wouldn’t he make the best husband?”

  2. The King 2 Hearts: When Ha Ji Won Was Recalling Hyun Bin

    20120322hajiwon.jpg

    I already watched the first episode of “The King 2Hearts” on March 21st, like Rizz said that this drama brings heavy issues but the writers and director wrapped those issues on a bleak comedy. So far I love the whole aspect of this drama, the story, the actors, and of course Ha Ji Won’s acting. I was amazed by Kim Hang Ah character. She’s too complicated. For me she’s scary, I think she’s a bipolar, sometimes she acts so cute and pure, but sometimes she becomes hideous  like a cold-blooded killer.

    She said she had killed dozens of people very calmly, but looked so worry when her pretty face got bruise. But the most ironical moment was when the innocent Kim Hang Ah came to Seoul and looked so excited and surprisingly knew everything about South Korean’s entertainment industry. She knew about Kang Dong Won and Rain, and looked so happy when she was looking at Jo In Sung’s face on the billboard.

    And the latest actor she saw was Hyun Bin’s face on the billboard. Her eyes sparkled. She was so happy even just looking at his picture. She really miss him, even Kim Hang Ah said that since Hyun Bin entered the military she became thinner… lol.gif

    Frankly, at that time I felt that the one who’s speaking was not Kim Hang Ah but Ha Ji Won. Because I think it was a good news for Secret Garden-couple’s fans when Ha Ji Won becomes thinner since she’s longing for Hyun Bin who is in military camp. Don’t you agree?

    Just for information, those actors appeared on the billboard have one thing in common: Ha Ji Won. They were her co-workers on movie, mv, and dramas, and are also connected with military. Kang Dong Won, Rain, Hyun Bin are still on military camp, while Jo In Sung was just discharged few months ago.

    20120319hajiwonuniform4.jpg

    Actress Ha Ji Won smiled brightly for the camera while adorned in a military uniform.

    On March 19th, Ha Ji Won uploaded this picture onto her personal me2day along with, “Tada~! From Republic of Korea’s sniper brigade, I am Instructor Kim Hang Ah. Everyone~~ I am so glad meet you!

    In the picture, Ha Ji Won is dressed in character for new role in MBC ‘The King 2 Hearts’. Netizens are impressed by how beautiful she looks even though she is wearing a heavy military uniform. Ha Ji Won proved that she doesn’t need a dress to look beautiful and that she continues to shine despite what she wears.

    Netizens responded to her picture saying, “Wow! Ha Ji Won does me2day! I hope you continue to upload pictures“, “Her and Lee Seung Gi are going to be so awesome! I can’t wait for the drama“, and “Are you not wearing makeup? You’re so cute even though you’re wearing a uniform.

    Ha Ji Won to dance to T-ara’s Bo Peep Bo Peep?

    20120319hajiwontheking3.jpg

    Ha Ji Won will appear on MBC’s new drama ‘The King 2 Hearts‘ with Lee Seung Gi, and it is scheduled to air its first episode on March 21st.  On the show, she will be playing a North Korean officer, who is working hard on disgusing her North Korean accent as practicing the dance to girl groupT-ara’s hit song ‘Bo Peep Bo Peep.’

    Playing a North Korean officer and dancing and singing to a hit girl group’s song does not seem to fit.  The reason that Ha Ji Won is learning the dance and the song is because it will appear in a scene during the show.  In the show, Ha Ji Won will come to the South to marry Lee Seung Gi, and has to get acclimated to the culture and style of South Korea.  Though it will only be a short scene in the drama, Ha Ji Won is known for her hard work ethic and has been working in 1-2 hours every day into perfecting her dancing and singing skills.

    A source close to Ha Ji Won revealed, “There were a lot of songs we considered using but we decided to choose T-ara’s Bo Peep Bo Peep because of the cat paw dance.  Ha Ji Won’s singing ability and dance skills have already been praised but she wants to hear people say that she did a good job so she is working hard.”

    Also, to better prepare herself in playing a North Korean officer, Ha Ji Won has been working on her accent with a North Korean defector.  The close friend said, “She does not want there to be even a little awkwardness so she is getting lessons even while she is filming.  Even when she is not filming, and when she is just resting with her stylist or staff, she speaks to them with her North Korean accent.”

    "The King 2 Hearts" Ha Ji-won and Lee Seung-gi's eye contact

    photo228414.jpg

    Ha Ji won and Lee Seung gi's eye contact on snowy fields look like a photo shoot.

    Ha Ji-won and Lee Seung-gi both play the roles of North Korean female sergeant Kim Hang-ah and South Korean Prince Lee Jae-ha respectively in the MBC drama "The King 2 Hearts" which is to be broadcasted on the 21st of March.

    As many are curious as to how the very different people got to come together, in the third episode of this drama, Ha Ji-won and Lee Seung-gi stare at each other with mixed feelings in a field of snow. Ha Ji-won has snow piled on the top of her head and Lee Seung-gi is looking at her with an expression of complicated emotions.

    This scene was taken in Jejudo on the 17th and Ha Ji-won and Lee Seung-gi were perfectly romantic and natural. The atmosphere around the set was very freewheeling and fun with Lee Seung-gi being the first one to make a funny face and making Ha Ji-won laugh out.

    Kim Jong Hak Productions conveyed, "We can tell that they work really well together just by watching them act. They know how to read each others eyes and the soft piling snow helped make an outstanding shot".

    Cast of ‘The King 2Hearts’ Performs Ritual for Good Luck

    With King Hwon of MBC’s The Sun and The Moon having said his last goodbye, it’s time to make way for a new king - King Lee Seung Gi of MBC’s upcoming drama The King 2Hearts. 

    Of course, it’s no question that The King 2Hearts has some big shoes to fill, so to help bring in good luck, the cast and crew participated in a traditional gosa ceremony. 

    Gosa ceremonies are usually done before movie/drama premieres, store/brand launchings and when things are set to begin. The ceremony for The King 2Hearts was revealed to have taken place on March 9 at the set of The King 2Hearts. 

    All of the main actors including Lee Seung Gi and Ha Ji Won participated, as well as the director, writers and entire production staff. 

    The two leads, Ha and Lee, were first to place the jar of alcohol and make a formal bow for good luck and good ratings, followed by Lee Yoon Ji and Cho Jung Seok.

    Ha expressed her sentiments saying , “We will do our best until the end to ensure we make a perfect drama” while Lee added, “I hope it becomes a daebak drama.”

    Director Lee Jae Kyu added, “I wish we can end the drama well with everyone healthy. I hope we will continue to film without accidents and everyone in good health.” 

    They wrapped up the ceremony with everyone shouting in unison, “Viewership ratings, daebak!” Even after the ceremony was finished, the cast and crew stuck around to talk and share their thoughts and feelings, reflecting the closeness of the group. 

    The King 2Hearts is set to premiere on MBC on March 21

    Ha Ji Won and Lee Seung Gi Holding a ritual ceremony together for The King 2Hearts

    As MBC'S new drama series The King 2Hearts (written by Hong Jin Ah, directed by Lee Jae Kyu) is counting off its first air, the production crew held a ritual ceremony wishing for the success of the series.

    On March 16, kim Jon Hak Production which is in charge of directing the series has revealed some of the pictures taken during a ritual held on the setting in Anseong-si, Gyeonggi-do on March 9.

    The ritual was held in the attendance of the leading actors Ha Ji Won and Lee Seung Gi and the others, including Lee Yoon Ji, Jo Jung Suk, Lee Sung Min, Jung Man Shik, producer Lee Jae Kyu, scriptwriter Hong Jin Ah, and the president Park Chang Sikof the production company.

    Feeling responsible as leading actors of the series, Ha and Lee respectfully raised a cup of drink on the table and bowed their heads. They wished for a great outcome of the series putting their heart and mind together. The lively atmosphere continued as Lee Yoon Jin and Jo Jung Suk repeated the ritual and wished for the best.

    Ha said, “I will shoot with enthusiasm till the very last shooting and complete a decent series.” Lee also showed his will by saying, “I hope this series will hit jackpot.”

    The producer Lee Jae Kyu shared his determination and feelings as a director, “Hope it ends in a good, healthy condition. With safety and no accidents, I hope the shooting goes smooth without a problem.”

    Staff and actors at the place shouted in one voice, “Best wishes in getting high viewers ratings!” They closed the ritual with a loud clap, reminding themselves about their determination once again. Even after the ceremony, the cast and staff did not leave the place immediately, rather staying a bit longer to share and spend some time together, creating a lovely atmosphere.

    Kim Jong Hak Production says, “The cast and staff of The King 2 Hearts are pouring their greatest effort and passion into making a masterpiece. They’re also giving out their best to satisfy the audience. Please give some support and cheer for this new, unique series.”

    The King 2 Hearts is a melodramatic black comedy based on the premise that the Republic of Korea is a constitutional monarchy. It features a love story between the military instructor Kim Hang Ah(played by Ha Ji Won) of the North Korean Special Forces and an arrogant Prince of South Korea, Lee Jae Ha (played by Lee Seung Gi). Their relationship is to face many obstacles such as prejudice, hostile borderline between two countries, and different social status, but will eventually overcome all of it throughout the series.

  6. Went to the TK2H Production Report Conference!

    ae51f3deb48f8c5479a2569.jpg

    Over 300 reporters showed up, which was much more than the marketing company expected, so they had to change the room this morning. The security was so high that only people who were on the guest list (reporters mostly) were allowed in the ceremony. The other fans and I mostly just waited outside. We saw Jiwon on her way in and out of the ceremony and when she was going to the van. The picture is the gift we prepared for the reporters to take so that they would write nice articles about our Haetnim ^^

    Since Jiwon’s character’s name is Hang-Ah, we did a little play on words. In Korean, there is a term called 앓이 Arh-ee (pronounced ah-ree) which means to ache for something or to pine for something. And then the word for a clay pot is 항아리 which is pronounced Hang-ah-ree. So if you are aching for or pining for Hang-Ah, then you are going through a Hang-Ah-Arh-ee which sounds like Hang-ah-ree. Get it? hahahaha

    Our fans only prepared 100 of these gift boxes, so obviously we were sold out very fast. A lot of the reporters liked the fact that we used the character’s name for the gift idea and they like how we put lots of candy and chocolates

    There are new videos up on the official website, so go and have a look! The new trailer and the highlights video they showed at the conference should be up.

    downloadei.jpg

    Actress Ha Ji Won knocked out Running Man’s members with her amazing stamina.

    On March 8, Running Man’s Jo Hyo Jin producer revealed to Starnews, “Ha Ji Won surprised our members with her

    athletic ability that she showed off on the series Stunt Woman and Damo.”

    Last month, Ha created a stir when she was seen shooting for the recording of Running Man at Jongro in Seoul. She

    aroused many people’s curiosity because people reported sightings of her by saying, “She was bowling at Gwanghwamun.” “She played a ball game with nets.”

    Producer Jo was astonished at Ha Ji Won and said, “The members of Running Man held the ‘Town Olympics’ with Ha Ji Won. She led the game with her outstanding stamina and performance. Even men had a hard time keeping up with her.”

    He continued, “We were able to record the episode in a bright atmosphere thanks to lively and enthusiastic Ha Ji Won.” This episode of Running Man will air on March 18.

    On the new upcoming MBC series King 2 Hearts, Ha Ji Won has been cast as sergeant Kim Hang Ah of North Korea’s special forces, and will act with Lee Seung Gi.

    Ha Ji Won, 33, says, “I don’t know what marriage is”

    20120308133118719979377.jpg

    Actress Ha Ji Won recently talked how she feels about marriage.

    On March 8, Ha attended a press conference for MBC’s new Wednesday-Thursday series The King 2 Heartsand was asked about marriage. Ha replied that she doesn’t know yet.

    Ha plays the role of a North Korean instructor for the Special Forces named Kim Hang Ah. She said, “Since I’m trying hard to embody my character wonderfully, I even dreamed that I was forced into a political marriage like the series.”

    Ha added, “I know that I’m old enough to marry but I don’t know what marriage is. People tell me about getting married but since I don’t what marriage is, I’m not thinking about getting married yet.”

    Kim Hang Ah, that Ha plays in the series, became a legend in North Korea after she survived from the Special Forces. She joins in a unified team of North and South Korean players for the world officer contest. Then she meets Lee Jae Ha, the prince of South Korea. Singer and actor Lee Seung Gi will play the role of the prince.

    The series is about a North Korean instructor for the Special Forces named Kim Hang Ah (played by Ha Ji Won) and a South Korean prince named Lee Jae Ha. They have a deep seeded prejudice against each other, but they will ultimately fall in love.

    Ha Ji Won expresses her feelings on working with Lee Seung Gi

    Actress Ha Ji Won felt burdened for acting as a couple with Lee Seung Gi, who is much younger than her.

    A press conference was held on March 8th for their upcoming drama, ‘The King 2 Hearts’ and there Ha Ji Won said, “This time, I felt slightly burdened for having to work with someone younger than me.”

    Ha Ji Won was born in 1978 and Lee Seung Gi was born in 1987 which is a nine year age difference. Depite being an older woman, younger man couple, Ha Ji Won said, “I can’t even feel the age difference.

    She continued, “There is quite an age gap between me and Seung Gi, but he wasn’t as young as I thought he would be. Sometimes I felt like he’s older than me. I couldn’t even feel the age gap between us and we had a fun time filming together.

    She also explained how she was worried about their age gap saying, “If I work while thinking about our age difference, I noticed that I don’t work as well. I’ve never had an obsession with working with a man younger than me, but this time the gap is pretty large so I felt more burdened than I did in other productions. I hope that we will be a good match together.

    Their new drama ‘The King 2 Hearts’ will be aired after the conclusion of ‘The Moon That Embraces the Sun.’
