Han Hye Jin, who very skillfully plays the role of a cheating wife in the drama "One Warm Word," can soon be seen on the big screen.

She will play Ho Jung the first love of Hwang Jung Min's character Tae Il in the film "When A Man Loves," which should not be confused with the drama of the same name.

He's a thug with a terminal illness but falling for her changes his life.

Some viewers may have been reluctant to tune in her current drama, "One Warm Word," because of the subject matter, adultery, but the show is well written and well acted. It subtly examines the ripple effect that an affair can have within the extended families of those involved. It also examines the need for trust in a marriage and whether once broken, that trust can ever be restored.

Han Hye Jin's performance is a large part of what makes that drama work so well.

According to her co-star Hwang Jun Min, she worked very hard on the film.

"Even when everyone else said that her performance was fine, she was not satisfied and wanted to redo her scenes," he said. "That's not an easy thing to do and everyone really admired her for it."
