I know I’ve been bitching about Han Ga In in The Moon that Embraces the Sun, but it’s not because I don’t like her. I loved her in Bad Guy, and even in her crappy dramas and/or performances, I’ve never grown annoyed with her much. She’s like this really pretty slightly detached wallflower in those situations. I was a little unsure of whether the pairing of her and one of my faves Uhm Tae Woong in the movie Introduction to Architecture was going to work, but now I’m sold based on the stills and the first teaser.
