I have a total girl crush on Ha Ji Won. Maybe it’s because she’s totally beautiful or that she can kick-ass like no other girl in Korean dramas. It probably has something to do with the fact that she does her own stunts and that every drama that she’s done since Damo in 2003 has been a hit.

That’s right, this girl has been on fire in the drama world for the last 10 years! That isn’t to say that she didn’t get a head start, that was already several years into her successful lead actress career. She’s also got some humanitarian and ambassador roles under her belt, and she used to sing kpop. Oh yeah, she’s even a published author.

The girl is awesome, that is for sure. There is a reason that I liken her time and time again to the Korean Angelina Jolie. I’m excited and a little sad to say that right now she’s busy practicing her English because after Empress Ki she’s planning on taking on Hollywood! To those who may be thinking, “big deal” it really is a big deal since most of the Korean stars that have crossed over into Hollywood are usually men. And she’s signed with a company with some pretty big stars (Johnny Depp, Gweneth Paltwrow and Uma Thurman to name a few..)

So yeah super excited about one of my favorite actresses and heck, favorite thespians of all time! I’m currently totally immersed in her drama Empress Ki and on the edge of my seat waiting for the next episode to air. It’s going to take a long time to get through it at 50 episodes, but I know that Ha Ji Won will make it worth every single minute!
Here’s my list of top 10 Ha Ji Won dramas, and frankly, if you’re a fan I highly recommend her movies as well. I didn’t include them in my list though since I focus mainly on dramas and that would make this video freakishly long. I’m serious she’s got a lot of great movies!

Any Ha Ji Won fans out there? What’s your favorite drama that she’s ever been in? I know it’s a hard decision, especially between King2Hearts, Secret Garden and Empress Ki but I know you can do it!
