Korea actresses Ha Ji-won and Song Hye-kyo have been the talk of the town for both acting as the same character Hwang Jin-i (or Hwang Jiny), based on the real life stories of a 16th century Kisaeng.
Ji-won is starring in the TV drama version, while Hye-kyo in a movie. It’s still uncertain who will play the role better, but in terms of production and promotion, Ji-won’s version is getting ahead.
KBS, the Korean production for the TV drama have just an official poster that will be used in an entertainment production event, “MIPCOM 2006″ in Cannes. Another 5 posters of the TV drama will be released to be used at Palais des Festivals during the event.
A press conference had also been held introducing Ha Ji-won and the main actor to the media. Some production photos and drama trailer have also been released for public viewing..

I think Ji won is better than Hye kyo in terms of acting. But still i want to see hye-kyo’s acting ability in this movie.

For me, I think Song and Ji won have different styles of acting…Viewers have different opinions on their capabilities and the way these two actresses acted as hwang jini.Meanwhile, ji won is a very good actress. Infact she won many awards.But we cannot deny the fact that Hye kyo also is a good actress.She won awards too.So, for us viiwers, lets just appreciate the movie industry for such producing movies/tv series such as Hwang jini because they in a way provide us with entertainment and fun. Lets not quarrel over something not so necessary.

i haven’t watch yet the hwang jini movie. i think it would be great too. song hye gyo really plays awesome in every role, that undeniably true. besides, she’s beautiful. not pretty. she’s much more baeutiful than any other actress but ha ji won is soo soo great in this tv drama. i think they have different styles in acting that’s why they stand among the rest. and let’s just not compare them bacause they’re different, one has the quality that the other one doesn’t have and vice-versa. ;)

Yeah, I agree with glamour girl.You’re right.
By the way, from what country are you from?

hello…well, I haven’t got the chance to watch the movie. I’ve just seen its trailer. Based on what I’ve saw, I think played the role better. But Song Hye Gyo is also good, no doubt about that. Its just that the role fits really well on Ha Ji Won. And I also think that the Story in the T.V. series is better.
