A Stalker's Guide to Byun Yo Han
I first saw Im Soo Hyang in I do, I do, a 2012 MBC drama.
She played a second lead role, but her story and character caught my interest, and with every episode I was wondering more and more what makes me like her so much. Since then, I started stalking her, and she became one of my favorite actresses. Even as a woman, I can't help but admire the body shape she has, her wonderful smile, and her long beautiful legs^^
So let me introduce you to Im Soo Hyang's work:
I do, I do
As I wrote before, the drama I do, I do introduced me to this beautiful actress. She plays Im Nam Ri, a vice-director of a shoe company. She has a soft heart, but since she's been struggling through life, she covers it with a cold personality. This drama wasn't the best, but it was relaxing and the story of each character was enjoyable. She co-starred with Kim Sung Ah and Lee Jang Woo in this drama
IRIS 2
I'm a sucker for action dramas/movies. So it's no surprise that this drama made me fall hard for Im Soo Hyang. In IRIS 2 she plays one sexy killer! Gosh, she was a real bada** in this, and I think that this kind of roles suits her BEST! With her partner Lee Bum Soo, she had one of the best boy/girl friendships I've seen. I was intrigued by their story and the characters they played. This drama was worth watching, and I was happy tho see her work with some great actors such as Jang Hyuk, Lee Da Hae and others.
Inspiring Generation
Inspiring Generation aka Generation of Youth is a beautiful sageuk. It's set in an interesting time of power struggles between China and Japan: when both were trying to claim more land. I can proudly say that this was the BEST role for Im Soo Hyang so far. She plays Deguchi Gaya, a charismatic beauty with deadly charm. She tries to take revenge on Shin Jung Tae, played by Kim Hyun Joong, but since we all know that there's a thin line between love and hate, she falls in love with him instead. Her character was strong, passionate and calculated, but at the same time warm, soft and caring. If you didn't watch this drama, do it. You'll meet one of the strongest female characters in Dramaland
New Tales of Gisaeng
It's her debut and also one of the greatest family dramas. It was my first 50+ drama, and I loved it. New Tales of Gisaeng tells the story of Dan Sa Ran, who after many obstacles becomes a gisaeng and learns a lot about life, love and hope. It is a very good family drama to just sit back and enjoy. It's also worth mentioning that she is partnered with Sung Hoon here, and they had great chemistry together. They made a very real, passionate and sweet couple. Don't miss it if you want to see the first role of this wonderful actress!^^
I can talk about her all day, but let's stop here. If you like Im Soo Hyang but haven't seen all of her dramas - do it! Because every project she played in is worth spending your time on ^^
And for goodbye, a commercial she did with hottie
