HAN Hyo-joo is an actress better known for her roles in TV dramas than in films. She made her debut in a sitcom <Nonstop 5> (2004) and moved on to displaying her graceful and innocent image in TV dramas like <Spring Waltz> (2006) and <Iljimae> (2008). But it was in <Brilliant Legacy> (2009) that placed HAN over other top actresses. She played the cute female lead who falls in love with the son of a wealthy conglomerate family. The TV drama broke the watershed viewer rating of 40% and left its mark as the most popular TV drama of 2009. HAN is best known for her innocent appearance and adorable smile with which she has paved her way into the melodrama genre. In her first feature film <Always> (2011), she kept loyal to her original image when playing a blind woman, Jung-hwa, who goes through a painful love story. It looks like HAN will continue to carry the nickname of the ‘innocent actress’ for a while. She is to appear in a historical film <Masquerade> (2012) as the Queen, another opportunity for her to showcase her elegance. Following another romantic turn alongside KO Soo in <Love 911>, HAN changed her image to play the sharp rookie in the hit surveillance thriller <Cold Eyes>, a popular draw in the summer of 2013. She next played the muse who inspires a trio of musicians in the 1960s, in the music biopic <C’est si bon> in 2015, the same year she appeared as one of the leads in <The Beauty Inside>, a romcom featuring a man who wakes up as a different person every day yet still tries to woo the girl of his dreams. She was next cast as a giseang in PARK Heung-sik’s <Hae-uh-hwa>.Less
