Career

Ji Jin-hee graduated from Myongji University with a degree in visual planning. When a talent agent from SidusHQ approached him about a career in entertainment, he was working as a photographer at an advertising company. Ji refused the jobs for a year because he was unhappy at his current position and doubtful that he had any acting skills, but eventually accepted when the ad agency reduced during the IMF financial crisis and he was fired.

In 1999, Ji appeared in Jo Sung-bin's "Like a Third-rate Film," and he made his acting debut with the television drama Female Secretary in 2000. He continued his television work with Juliet's Man (2000), Four Sisters (2001), and the Korean-Japanese co-production Afternoon After the Passing Rain (2002) with Ryoko Yonekura.

Ji made his big screen debut in 2002, playing a detective in the thriller H. If You Were Me, a human rights-themed omnibus in Park Kwang-su's short film Face Value, followed him.

In the melodrama Love Letter's portrayal of a surgeon caught up in a love triangle with a priest, but Ji's breakthrough came in late 2003 with period drama Dae Jang Geum (also known as Jewel in the Palace). Ji's gentlemanly and integrity-filled role as a Joseon-era government official who falls in love with a female chef turned royal physician (played by Lee Young-ae) attracted female audiences around Asia, because not only did Dae Jang Geum receive high viewership in the region, but also became one of the Korean Wave's most influential countries.

Ji later adapted his pan-Asian stardom to roles in both the Chinese film Perhaps Love and the Taiwanese drama The 100th Bride, which were released in 2005. In Spring Day, the Korean version of Japanese drama Hoshi no Kinka ("Heaven's Coins"), he appeared in amnesiac.

After Dae Jang Geum's first acting accolade, Ji played a playboy slacker in Miss Kim's Million Dollar Quest (2004), for which he received his first acting distinction. He was cast as a narrator in Bewitching Attraction (2006), who traces his encounter with a promiscuous professor.

In 2007, Ji appeared in The Old Garden in Im Sang, a play based on Hwang Sok-yong's book about a couple who met during the Gwangju Uprising; he was an anti-government campaigner who was released from jail after serving 17 years in jail for his political activities. This was followed by Ji's debut action film, Yoichi Sai's Soo, in which he played two roles as a hired killer venge the death of his twin brother.

In 2008, Ji returned to television as a veteran news reporter in Spotlight. In He Who Can't Marry, the Korean interpretation of Japanese drama Kekkon Dekinai Otoko ("The Man Who Can't Get Married"), he played a fussy, 40-year-old bachelor architect. Ji was next seen in the Korean-Japanese "telecinema" Paradise, which was both a theatrical release and aired on SBS and TV Asahi.

Ji Jin-hee in Italy, as well as Ji's recommendations and wine advice, published A Walk in the Clouds, which featured photos and essays about his travels in Rome, Florence, and Milan.

Ji appeared in Parallel Life in 2010, portraying Korea's youngest chief presiding judge, who after his wife's murder discovers that his life may well match that of someone who died 30 years ago. In the road trip comedy Looking for My Wife (also known as Runaway from Home), he was next cast as a music critic and radio show host who goes in search of his missing spouse.

In another period drama Dong Yi, which also became very popular with audiences, then Ji reunited with Dae Jang Geum television producer Lee Byung-hoon. King Sukjong, who has fallen for a palace maid (played by Han Hyo-joo) and makes her his royal concubine, said he wanted to see a monarch with "weak spots that show through his charismatic exterior." Rather than being a respectable king, he is an outgoing and adventurous character."

In Take Care of Us, Captain (2012), general and Joseon dynasty founder Yi Seong-gye, an adulterous husband in One Warm Word (2013), and a villainous doctor in Blood (2015), Ji continued to appear in television as an airline pilot. He also wrote the original draft of the horror-comedy Ghost Sweepers (2012), for which he received a story by credit.

Ji appeared in three Chinese films, including On the Way opposite Eva Huang, in which a recently divorced Korean man meets a Chinese woman on a train; Bad Sister opposite Ivy Chen, a satisfaction with a group of terrorists, and Helios, a crime thriller about a group of terrorists stealing nuclear arms.
