Han Ji-min considering lead in "Watch out for this Woman"

Lee Seong-kyeongis out, and now,Han Ji-minis being courted to star in the romantic comedy oppositeJi Chang-wook.

"Watch out for this Woman"will starJi Chang-wookas a cop turned prosecutor. The female lead is a Taekwondo practitioner turned judicial trainee turned murder suspect.

I am surprised that the production team behind"Watch out for this Woman"has gone from castingLee Seong-kyeongto offering the role toHan Ji-min, because the actresses are so different. �

Lee Seong-kyeongis 26 years old, but can still easily pass for a teenager. This was especially true in "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo" in which her character wore her heart on her sleeve. She would have stood closer in height toJi Chang-wook, which gives a different dynamic in face-to-face interactions.

Han Ji-minis considerably shorter thanJi Chang-wook, though one assumes that the height difference could be minimized by high heels and camera angles. Despite her small stature,Han Ji-mindemonstrated ruthless efficiency in the action scenes of"The Age of Shadows". She will definitely lend the character more maturity thanLee Seong-kyeong, and will probably be more restrained, if her previous performances are anything to go by.

There is such a disparity in appearance and styles of the two leading ladies that one wonders if the production team of"Watch out for this Woman"had a plan for the female lead. Hopefully, the production team are not just scrambling to find any available leading actress before the drama begins airing in May.
