Beginnings and breakthroughs in my career from 2003 to 2010.
Han Ji-min began her career in show business while still in high school. She appeared in a number of commercial films (CF) and music videos before breaking out in 2003 with roles in the hit Korean television dramas All In and Dae Jang Geum. Han stated that she never imagined herself as a serious actress before starring in All In, in which she played the adolescent counterpart to the drama's main character, played by popular actress Song Hye-kyo.
In 2005, Han made her breakthrough with her performance in the critically acclaimed mania drama Resurrection. In her first film, Blue Swallow, she pushed herself by playing a cute yet ambitious tomboy who aspires to be a pilot.
A car accident on the Wolf set seriously injured Han and her co-star Eric Mun, causing the drama to be repeatedly delayed until the decision was made to cancel it after only three episodes were aired. Instead, after a lengthy recovery for Mun, the two actors reunited in the drama Super Rookie Ranger (also known as Invincible Parachute Agent or Korea Secret Agency).
Han continued to appear in TV dramas, including memorable roles as a stiff-upper-lip resistance fighter in Capital Scandal and a royal concubine in Yi San. Han, who is known for her portrayals of good girls and her sweet, innocent, and fragile image, surprised audiences with her performance as a sexy femme fatale in Detective K: Secret of the Virtuous Widow.
2011-2017: Various genres
Han played a cynical veterinarian in Padam Padam, written by famous drama writer Noh Hee-kyung, which aired on newly launched cable channel jTBC. She then starred in Rooftop Prince, a film about a Joseon-era prince who time-travels to the twenty-first century and meets his late lover's doppelgänger. Rooftop Prince's success earned Han several awards and raised her international profile, particularly in Japan.
Han left S.M. Entertainment's SM C&C in October 2013 to join Lee Byung-BH hun's Entertainment.
In 2014, she starred in The Plan Man, a romantic comedy about an opposites-attract librarian who falls for a spontaneous, adventurous musician. Following that, she portrayed the dowager Queen Jeongsun, the fierce political rival of her step-grandson King Jeongjo, in the period film The Fatal Encounter. Han next appeared in the 2015 suspense series Hyde, Jekyll, Me, alongside The Fatal Encounter co-star Hyun Bin, as a circus master who falls for a theme park owner with split personality disorder.
In 2016, Han starred in The Age of Shadows, an action thriller set in the 1920s about anti-Japanese independence workers' plots and betrayals. Han co-starred in the 2017 romantic short film Two Rays of Light with Park Hyung-sik.
2018–present: acclaim from the critics
Han appeared in the 2018 film Miss Baek as the titular protagonist, an ex-convict who is emotionally closed off due to social stigma. Han's performance in the film earned her the Best Actress award at the prestigious Blue Dragon Film Awards, as well as the Baeksang Arts Awards and other major award ceremonies. The following year, she returned to television with the romance fantasy drama Familiar Wife, playing an ordinary wife with anger management issues.
Han appeared in two television series in 2019: the slice-of-life melodrama The Light in Your Eyes and the romance melodrama One Spring Night.
In 2021, she appeared in Kwak Jae-romantic yong's comedy film A Year-End Medley, and in 2022, she appeared in the tvN television series Our Blues.

She then donated all of the royalties to help fund children's education in North Korea and other Asian developing countries.
