Actress Ha Ji-won Explores Her Lighter Side in New Rom-Com

Moviegoers will get to see another side of actressHa Ji-wonin the romantic comedy"Life Risking Romance". Ha plays a clumsy novelist on the trail of a serial killer.

At a press event in Seoul on Thursday, Ha said, "After playing serious, strong characters in previous dramas and films like"Empress Qi"and 'Chronicle of a Blood Merchant', I wanted a comedic role. I was drawn to the script because it's a romantic comedy with the twist of a thriller. I had to play it straight in funny situations in order to build the comedic tension, and that was so much fun".

Asked about her co-star, Taiwanese actorChen Bolin, Ha said, "I enjoyed working with him. He was hardworking and sincere, and never complained about working in Korea, away from home".

The film's director,Song Min-gyoo, said, "Most romantic comedies focus on an emotional conflict between a man and a woman, but I wanted to put a new spin on the old formula by drawing in elements of other genres".

The film is scheduled for release on Dec. 14.
