There were plenty of speculations as to whom KBS would choose to lead its upcoming Sageuk ??? (Hwang Jin-Yi), based on the life of the famous concubine in the Joseon Dynasty. People talked of Soo Ae and other actresses, but the station’s choice went back to their original plans: your new Hwang Jin-Yi is… Ha Ji-Won. This will mark Ha’s return to the small screen in over 2 years, after 2004’s ???? ??? (What Happened in Bali). The biggest problem which could have caused her not to star in the show was the shoot of Yoon Je-Gyun’s ???? ?? (Miracle on 1st Street), but KBS wanted her so much they moved the Drama to October from the originally scheduled September. The show will be a sort of mix between Memoirs of a Geisha and ???? (Ladies of the Palace), with several gisaeng fighting for power. And Sageuk World just found another future member of its ‘family’.
