Lee Shi-young wasn’t just appeared from nowhere.  She thoroughly prepared her stardom from a few years ago.  She studied fashion design in her college but it looks like she really like to learn how to dance from those years.

As she mentioned she did go though plastic surgery to make herself prettier for her passion in TV screen.  It worked out well for her, not for everyone though, and she started working at TV dramas.

One of the most famous dramas she worked on is, of course, Boys over Flowers, Oh Minji role.  This role let everyone remember her how pretty she looked and how well she acted.  The other one I picked was Baram ui Nara (The Country of Wind).  Her role was the female servant, Yeon-wha, of the Yeojin prince.

It wasn’t very significant role of the drama but there were some people noticed her and tried to find out who she was.  There were almost no information on the web at that time on Oct. 2008.  She continued to work hard and waited for her moment to come, and it finally came this year.  She doesn’t work on the BOF but people still talked about her and she has been casting on the variety show, We are Married, as Jun Jin’s partner.  Now her popularity has gone up the highest point and it looks like it will go on for a while.

This was her first drama on Sky Wave in Korea.  She acted fairly well for the rookie.  She looks really like Son Tae-young.  I wonder why many viewers were seaching for her information.  She was the prince’s servant but also his lover.  Her image was a pure and innocent girl  She cried a lot and had many hidden dating scenes with her prince.

Her love story didn’t go to the happy ending.  He was on a rescue mission to save Yuri but got wounded but died later for that.  It shouldn’t be easy for her to bear.  Her act on the scene gave many viewers also in sorrow.

Look at her face up here.  She didn’t want to live after he left.  Her pure and innocent image changed a sick person who waited her death.

There was another man approached.  She might think she found her salvation with him, Maro.  He was good enough reason for her to start her new life.  It looked getting better for her.

It was a time of war between Buyeo and Goguryeo.  Her Maro had to go fight with Buyeo.  She gave her accessory that was given from him previously and asked him to give her back when he came back.  He never did.  She found out about it and said in front of a river,”You promised me.  You said that you will come back for me.  Couldn’t you just come back for me alive?”  She walked in the river and never walked back.  It was really a sad role and I thought she handled it very well.
