Lee Ha-na first appeared in a
commercial
for telecom

television drama
Alone in Love
, as the extremely odd younger sister of the female protagonist.
[2]
She played another supporting role as a small-time swindler in
When Spring Comes
in 2007. Later that year, Lee was cast in her first leading role in
Merry Mary
(also known as

This was followed by her big screen debut in

, a
film adaptation
of
Huh Young-man
's
manhwa
Sikgaek

Women in the Sun
(also known as
Sisters in Love
).
[5]
In the
melodrama
, her character wreaks revenge when she learns that her older
adopted

[6]
Lee won an Excellence Award at the year-end
KBS Drama Awards
.
From November 21, 2008 to April 17, 2009, she was the host/
MC
of the live music program
Lee Ha-na's Peppermint

[7]
Before she turned to acting, Lee had early aspirations of becoming a singer, so aside from introducing and interviewing guests, she frequently performed on the show, sometimes accompanying herself on the guitar or piano.
[8]
Lee then underwent training for her role as a
figure skating
coach in
Triple
, who finds herself in a love triangle with her ex-husband and his best friend who pursues her.
[9]
[10]
In 2010, Lee was cast opposite veteran actor
Ahn Sung-ki
in Shin Yeon-shick's film

action film
R2B: Return to Base
, a
remake
of
Shin Sang-ok
's 1964 film
Red Scarf
.
[13]
After a five-year absence from the small screen, Lee returned in
High School King of Savvy
, a 2014 cable romantic comedy about a high school student who masquerades as an executive at his brother's
IT
company; she played a
temp
who shows him the ropes.

[18]
In 2017, Lee starred in
OCN

Summer Vacation
.
[22]
In 2018, Lee reprised her role in
Voice 2
, the sequel to
OCN

[25]
That same year, Lee was appointed as an honorary member of the police force by South Korea's
National Police Agency
