CHA Tae-hyun is a fool for HA Ji-won

Director KIM Jung-kwon will next bring a drama with comical touches starring HA Ji-won and CHA Tae-hyun. The film is titled BA:BO (Babo, English translation: fool). The film is an adaptation of a popular internet manwha (Korean equivalent of the Japanese manga, Chinese manhwa and the western comic) with a great emotional appeal.

CHA portrays a young man who stopped developing mentally after an accident at a young age. HA plays his youth friend who returns to her hometown and the two are reunited. HA’s character is a talented pianist, but she suffers from stage fright.

CHA is a comedy star, most notably for his leading role in My Sassy Girl. HA’s filmography ranges from comedy to horror and includes the titles: Sex is Zero, Duelist and The Phone. KIM is the director behind the romantic drama Ditto. The film is scheduled for release at the end of February.
