Han Ga-in cast in Bad Guy

The news has finally been confirmed after being floated around as a possibility for months: Han Ga-in is making her drama return through the upcoming Bad Guy, which has cast Queen Seon-deok‘s Bi-dam, Kim Nam-gil, in the title role.

The drama is described as the story of ambition and love, centering around one man’s fierce battle to change his fate. Kim Nam-gil’s homme fatale character uses his sharp intelligence and sexy charisma “to walk the risky tightrope of power.” He falls for Han Ga-in’s character, a woman who chooses “realistic love” in line with her ambitions and conditions. The character is fluent in foreign languages, as well as skilled in performing jazz music and horseback riding. Also cast is Oh Yeon-soo (La Dolce Vita) as the eldest daughter of a chaebol. She follows her father’s wishes in marrying a prosecutor who is the son of a government official, but finds herself dissatisfied with her married life. She falls in “dangerous love” with Kim Nam-gil’s character, with whom her sister (Go Eun-ah) is in love.

This marks Han’s first drama in three years, since she starred in that hot mess called Witch Amusement (which was so bad that both she and Jae Hee expressed their disappointment in the unintentionally hilarious writing after the drama ended). I actually like Han Ga-in but find her a mediocre actress; I can’t help but think she’ll be gobbled up alive opposite Kim Nam-gil.

Bad Guy will be directed by PD Lee Hyung-min of I’m Sorry, I Love You and Snow Queen. The drama begins filming in Japan on February 10 and will air on SBS in May as a Wednesday-Thursday series.

I like Han Ga In a lot even knowing that her acting needs work, as such, I'm really looking forward to her drama return.

Dang! Kim Nam Gil will have 3 chicas in this? Baller!

Who will be following this?

The women - Army of Bidam Lovers.
The guys - for Han Ga In.
The older guys who think Oh Yeon Soo is sexy.

That should draw a pretty big crowd. ;)

me too, i like han ga in alot. but more on her real life personality. she's a good actress, but only when it comes to a suitable character (i can't remember the drma's name, its about the life of 3 sisters, and she's the youngest. i cried like crazy) i hope this new drama suits her well. she has my support ^^

This will be great!
And maybe she will try harder working with a great actor like Kim Nam Gil.
Actors often learn from others they work with.

"a woman who chooses “realistic love” in line with her ambitions and conditions. The character is fluent in foreign languages, as well as skilled in performing jazz music and horseback riding."

Reminds me of Jang Seo-hee's character in Miss Mermaid hehe. I guess Han Ga-in is not bad.. but I hope she acts better in this drama. She was okay in Dr. Kkang but was horrible in Witch Amusement (I blame the writer for the most part, but she could've done a lot better). Hopefully she's been working on her acting skill.

I'll just watch for the sake of Bidam and Oh Yeon Soo for now.
Haven't seen Han Ga In in anything, but somehow I dont like her. Hope I can begin to like her like Kim Tae Hee in IRIS~~

the plot is interesting and I can see another melodrama here. I'll be looking out for Oh Yeon-soo here as she impressed me with her acting in La Dolce Vita and this time she'll play the baddie...Kim Nam-gil is also good so I'll tune in to this..

If Kim Tae Hee was able to improve her acting in IRIS, I have hopes for Han Ga In :)

Yaaaargh! Kim Nam-gil! As a bad guy! *fangirl scream* Must not miss this drama, if the PD and KNG's phenomenal acting is anything to go by it's going to be very good drama!
Someone better not die in it though.
Never watched WA so have no idea about this actress's acting. Will just have to wait and see.

Witch Amusement is the only drama to date that I cannot finish watching nor do I want to... it was so horrible and me thinks that if there had at least been a better lead actress I would've suffered through the rest. On the one hand it's I'm thankful Han Ga-In's acting was so wooden I didn't continue, on the other hand I don't have faith in her for any future projects...best of luck to her I guess (I wasn't planning on watching this drama and I'm becoming more sure that I'm not either way).

Han Ga-In?! OMG, NOOOOOOOO!!! *struck by horror!*

"I can’t help but think she’ll be gobbled up alive opposite Kim Nam-gil."

That's an understatement. She can't act and I've never found her pretty so it's a major disappointment for me... BIG SIGH! I'm this close to signing off the drama myself, but since I love Kim Nam-gil I know I'll be giving this drama a chance anyway.

She looks like Kang Eun Bi in that photo! LOL, OMG.

She's so likeable and so pretty, I'd love for her to surprise me with her acting. LOL at Witch Amusement, thinking of it still amuses me indeed. Kim Nam Gil (OMG typoed 'Girl' instead of 'Gil' forgive me Bidam!) is so wonderful and so hot, it'll be awful if she's.. well, awful. Good luck to her!

Ahhh Kim Nam Gil!!! I finally have something to look forward to!
Personally, I think Han Ga-In is one of many Korean actresses who are pretty to look at but lacking in charisma, presence, and most importantly, acting chops. Let's hope her acting's improved if she's facing my dangerously attractive Bidam... muahahaha!

I know of women with pretty faces, but no appeal at all. Like tasty looking food, but is actually bland. Han Ga In is one of those.

I wish someone would explain to me why pretty actresses that can't act continue to headline shows. Does pretty equal ratings? Really?

HGI is fine in certain types of roles, but yeah, her range is pretty limited.

Hopefully, the time off has added a little depth to HGI's craft.

Anyone who thinks HGI isn't pretty is just plain nuts (she looks absolutely gorgeous in some of her CFs).
