Good supporting characters are like a pinch of salt and pepper, added to make a drama more enjoyable, touching and complete.
Yang Hee-kyeong has been one of the most sought-after supporting actresses for the past two decades and an essential ingredient to many dramas and films. She has proven her acting capabilities in such works as "Super Rookie (Sinip Sawon)" in 2005, "Be Strong, Geum-soon! (Kusseora Kumsuna)" in 2005 and "Sang Doo! Let's go to school (Sangduya Hakkyogaja)" in 2003.
Although her round face and ample figure probably kept her from playing lead roles in soap operas, Yang has often stood at the center of the theater stage. She was always a bigger presence at the theater than on TV or on the screen.
Yang debuted as a stage actress in 1985 and gave a critically acclaimed performance in the monodrama "An Old Prostitute's Song" in 1995, which endowed her with the best performance award at the 19th Seoul Theater Festival.
