She notified her comeback with the new Wednesday Thursday KBS 2TV drama "The Thorn Birds", first broadcasting on the 23rd of February.

"The Thorn bush Bird" is about two women who go to extreme measures to fulfill their desires and Han Hye-jin will be playing Suh Jeong-eun who has to suffer all the sacrifices in her life. She is the same kind of woman as the thorn bush bird, which is known to throw its body into the sharpest thorn to make the most beautiful sound in the world.

Han Hye-jin in the drama is a woman of passion who lives her life to the fullest although she grew up in an orphanage, not knowing who her parents were and believes she will find her birth mother when she becomes a star.

To Han Hye-jin, the role of Suh Jeong-eun in "The Thorn Birds" is like the filmography that contains all of her past. She will show the same strong woman image as she did in the 2005 drama "Be Strong, Geum-Soon!" that put her in stardom, and 2007 drama "Jumong".

Procuction company GNG Productions revealed, "I am sure Han Hye-jin will be able to play out this role as she is very healthy and elegant. She is going to mesmerize the viewers with her more mature acting and her ability to be honest".

Meanwhile, "The Thorn Birds" is looked forward to as it is going to be project done by script writer Lee Seon-hee and 'viewer rating' machine producer Kim Jong-chang.
