Lee Yoo-young

What impresses me about Lee Yoo-young is how striking her starting line was: her very first film, Late Spring, won her a Best Actress prize at the Milan Film Festival in 2014. From there she kept choosing substantial work on television, from The Lies Within to Insider and Dare to Love Me. Trained at Korea National University of Arts, she reads to me as an actress more interested in inhabiting a role than in easy stardom. I suspect she is the type who builds a long, well-curated career, valued for depth rather than hype. I'm genuinely curious where she goes next.
