'Autumn in My Heart' and 'Full House' established her as the queen of melodrama, earning her love across Asia. She later deepened her acting through 'Worlds Within', and in writer Noh Hee-kyung's 'That Winter, The Wind Blows', she garnered acclaim for her delicate portrayal of a visually impaired character.
'Descendants of the Sun' marked the pinnacle of global Hallyu, creating another sensation, and she continued adult melodramas with works like 'Now, We Are Breaking Up'. This period solidified her position as Korea's representative melodrama actress.
In 2022, 'The Glory' portrayed the desperate revenge of a school violence victim, opening her second golden age with intense acting beyond melodrama. Breaking away from her innocent image, she convincingly conveyed chilling rage and tenacity, significantly broadening her acting range.
In Slowly, Strongly, she plays 'Min-ja', who dreams of brilliant success, marking her third collaboration with writer Noh Hee-kyung since 'That Winter, The Wind Blows'. This is her first time working with Gong Yoo in a project.
