'Hanlan' is a period drama set in Jeju and is about a mother and daughter's struggle survival period. Kim Hyang-gi, who was cast as the lead actor, will play the role of Ajin, a mother in her 20s, showing the toughness of Jeju women's lives at the time.
Kim Hyang-gi thought it was a work that could learn a lot not only as Kim Hyang-gi but also as a human Kim Hyang-gi. As it is a work that requires you to feel responsible and work on it, I will try with reverence. I hope the power of the story felt in the scenario of 'Haan' will be conveyed well," he said.
Kim Hyang-gi rose to the ranks of 10 million actors in the movie `Along with the Gods' series and has performed solidly and substantially in social films such as 'Witness' and 'I'. He won the 39th Korean Film Critics Association Award for Best Actress in 2019, the 39th Golden Shooting Award for Best Actress in 2019, and the 39th Blue Dragon Film Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2018, proving his acting ability in his 17th year.
Director Ha Myung-mi, who wrote and directed 'Hanlan', said "Even though it is a difficult role, I don't know how much strength it is that Kim Hyang-gi holds hands to join me." I will show you a strong drama that protects humanity to the end through the difficult journey of Ajin, the main character of "Haan" showed a willingness.
Director Ha Myung-mi won two awards with the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival Distribution Support Award and the Actor Award (Jeong Se-seo) for her debut feature film 'Her Hobby'. Not only in Korea, but also in Sao Paulo International Film Festival, he was invited to the Best New Director category, the London East Asian Film Festival, and Jakarta Film Week, drawing great attention at overseas film festivals. Director Ha Myung-mi is building a world of genre films with dramatic tension with cinematic and dense narratives and unique directing styles.
In the role of Haesaeng, a six-year-old daughter, Kim Min-chae, a child actor, will show a bold character who resembles her mother and has a firm wick.
'Hanlan' will be introduced to the audience in 2025 next year by cranking up this fall.
