son ye jin road to fame

Ye Jin’s acting career was fast and smooth because she was shot into prominence with “Sweet Proposal” and subsequently went on to lead female roles in several hits including “Lover’s concerto“, “The Classic“, “Summer Scent” and “A Moment to Remember“.
It was not like that.

In fact, Ye Jin was already contracted by her current management company, Tube management, when she was 17. At that time, she was a face model for Somang cosmetics. In the first one and half year, Tube introduced Ye Jin to several TV drama production companies and brought her to some auditions but there was no job offer for her. During those ‘jobless’ days, Ye Jin would turn up at Tube office and be trained in various acting and performance skills. She would turn up at the premise and walked quickly into her little room and start her training - lacking in confidence. Now Ye Jin would walk slowly, confidently and greet everyone with a bright smile.

Finally “Sweet Proposal” came along, and the producer of the drama was using many new actors/actresses so much so that veterans were turning down the roles in this drama. As a result, the first break of Ye Jin arrived and her performance in “Sweet Proposal” won her a best new comer award and caught the eyes of many top directors which helped to shape the “Queen of Melodrama” that she is today.

Officials at Tube management revealed that Ye Jin is a person who has high perseverence and work hard at all time even during hard times. She does not have many friends in Seoul since her family is not in Seoul. She leads a simple lifestyle of playing with her pet dog, swimming, watching TV and exercising when she does not have movie project going on.

yejin a great swimmer

In one of the "Season of Love" scene, Son Ye-jin made a bet on a swimming competition with Gam Woo-Sung, the result binds the two lover and so beget the plot of the Drama. Son Yejin obviously is superior in swimming compared to co-actor Gam Woo-Sung, however due to the plot of the story, she must lose. Even after several takes of the scene, our lead actress appeared tireless. Her competence in swiming is once again demostrated since "Crazy First Love". Hmmm but no bikini or sexy swimsuit.
"Season of Love" has around 20% viewer rate in Korea : )

Son Ye Jin's Latest Movie "Open City"


In the action thriller “Open City”, Son Ye-jin plays the leader of an international criminal organization who grows her organization with her fatal charm. Actor Kim Myeong-Min of the MBC drama series ‘White Tower’ will play opposite Son as an investigator who is assigned on Son’s case. Things start to get complicated when Son’s character becomes attracted to Kim’s character. The director of the film is Lee Sang-gi.

There’s action, there’s romance. There’s a sexy lady and a hot man. What else? Oh yes, maybe a tragic ending too. I have a feeling this movie will garner even more attention and secure a high box office after it is released. It is already on my list of must-catch korean films, driven by sheer curiosity to catch Son in such a strong and seductive role.

Personally I’m always impressed by Son’s choice of movie roles. She is always adventurous, constantly improving her acting skills, and forever impressing me with her newest image.

The story is based on the world of news reporters and their passion to make truthful reports of the society.

There was a drama previously dealing with news anchors in 2000 called “All About Eve” starring Jang Dong Gun, Chae Rim, Kim Su Yeon, Han Jae Suk and was a runaway success which made stars out of the four of them. Recently, we all know about “On Air” which is about a drama inside a drama story and has been pretty awesome thus far.
