Kim Tae-hee

Kim Tae-hee is too often reduced to the line 'one of Korea's most beautiful actresses,' which I think sells her short. A Seoul National University graduate from Ulsan, she pairs that famous elegance with genuine intelligence and persistence. Across Stairway to Heaven, Iris and the tender Hi Bye, Mama!, she has chosen roles that let her grow rather than simply glow. What interests me most is how she has sustained a long career on her own terms, balancing stardom with privacy. For me, her real appeal is the quiet substance behind the glamour.
