Early in her career, SON has played tragic characters such terminally-ill Soo-in in <Lovers' Concerto>, Ji-hye in <The Classic> who missed her first lover, and Su-jin in <A Moment to Remember> who suffered from Alzheimer’s and gradually forgot her husband, Jung Woo-sung’s character. <April Snow> was the movie that transformed her from an innocent girl to a woman. It was <April Snow> that repositioned her as an actress who could express rich emotions and <Alone In Love> showed her strong character. <Alone In Love> marked a watershed moment in her acting career as she broke her stereotype as a virtuous woman by portraying an individualistic woman. SON has expanded her acting range from a sexy pickpocket in <Open City>, an adulterous but forgivable wife in <My Wife Got Married>, and a mysterious fame fatale in <White Night> who held the key to a murder. The fall of 2011 saw a countless number of romantic comedies being released in Korea, with the box-office champ among them being <Spellbound> starring SON. Thanks to her shamelessly cunning performance including cutesy drunken behavior, the film gathered more spectators in its second week versus its opening on its way to become a box office hit. She took on her first blockbuster role alongside SUL Kyung-gu in the inferno disaster film <The Tower> in late 2012. SON’s next role was as the lead in the thriller <Blood and Ties>, a modest performer in late 2013. She returned to blockbusters with a new image when she took on the role of a pirate in the big-budget 2014 swashbuckler <The Pirates>. Following the massive success of <The Pirates>, SON next co-starred with KIM Ju-hyeok in the kidnap thriller <Home Sweet Home>. The second film by LEE Kyoung-mi features her as the wife of an ambitious politician who gets involved in a case during an election term. 2016 was a busy year for the actress, which began with her leading the China-Korea co-production <Bad Guys Always Die> and then saw her star in the kidnap thriller <The Truth Beneath> and HUR Jin-ho’s Colonial Era drama <The Last Princess>.
