Su Ae created a buzz when she took a lead role in a TV drama only six months after her debut. She seemed like a fragile dandelion of a person. She earned a nickname “the queen of tears” for her trademark dark eyes filled with tears. Her tear queen image was reproduced on screen. Her role as a tough ex-criminal in <A Family> is a huge step away from her signature image, but the audience bursts into tears in the end when she reconciled with her ex-cop father dying of leukemia after years of estrangement. Instead of being obsessed with changing the image, she has tried to portray diverse characters within what she can do best. She played an agent taking old bachelors ([JUNG Jae-young] and [YOO Joon-sang]) to Uzbekistan to recruit their brides in <My Wedding Campaign>, a librarian in a small village falling in love with a man from Seoul in <Once in a Summer>, a woman joining a band and going on moral boosting tours to Vietnam during the war in search of her husband in <Sunny>, and Korea’s last empress murdered by the Japanese assassins in <The Sword with No Name> and the radio station DJ threatened by a psychotic stalker ([YOO Ji-tae]) in <Midnight F.M.>. Her filmography is getting richer every year. Following a turn in the popular thriller TV drama <Athena: Goddess of War>, Su Ae returned to the silver screen alongside JANG Hyuk in the influenza thriller <The Flu> in the summer of 2013.Less
