It's All About Kim Ji Won

Kim Ji Won as Seol Han-Na in To The Beautiful You

  I only began watching the Korean version of Hanazakari Kimitachi E AKA “To The Beautiful You’ when I found out f(x)’s resident supercutie Sulli was playing the part of the lead “ Horiikita Maki” guy/girl part, but I have to say, as I finish watching episode 10, that my hands down favorite actress in this production just HAS to be Kim Jiwon, playing the part of the evil girlfriend protagonist Seol Han-Na.

Above and Below: Flawlessly playing the part of the "Bitchy Girlfriend"

 A stock charater like the “demanding, selfish girlfriend of the Hero” is made to be a one dimensional throwaway character, but something about Kim Ji Won’s portrayal of Han-na makes her totally sympathetic in my eyes, and at times I hate knowing that her destiny is to be cast aside to make way for the big “happy ending” of Minho’s TaeJoon and Sulli’s Jaehee finally getting together!

  I don’t know if the directors/screenwriters fo the show accidentally made her too likeable or if Jiwon herself is turning Seol Han-Na into a strong character by her terrific acting, but I think her scenes are the ones that are totally moving the story for me, in the latest episode, she was just breaking my heart!! Such an awesome lil actress- Can’t wait to see what happens next!
