Biography

Chae Si-ra, the chameleon-like actress at home in everything from present-day dramas to historical sagas, is lately playing Lady Jam-mi in "God of the Sea", a fusion historical drama set during the reign of the Maritime Trade Emperor, Chang Po-go.

The character of Lady Jam-mi, who dominated during the Shilla Dynasty, and the immensity of the historical show, has got Chae going over her lines every chance she gets.

Chae debuted at 16 in a commercial, achieving star status in the wildly popular 1992 television drama, "Burning Dawn". Though it was 12 years ago, some fans still remember the actress first as the innocent, tragic-stricken heroine of "Burning Dawn".

In more recent years, she married singer Kim Tae-wook and had a baby. She calls her husband and four-year-old daughter, Cha-ni, her main sources of pride and strength.

In 2004, she played a middle-aged divorcee suffering endless heartache in the television drama, "Terms of Endearment". Women across Korea shed tears as Chae successfully acted the painful role.

The actress told Showbiz Extra that such heartfelt performances have become easier with the experiences that came with crossing into her thirties.

Her latest work in "God of the Sea" has got her working with award-winning actor Choi Soo-jong and newcomer starlet, Soo-ae. The drama is number one in its time slot.

For years, top female actresses in Korea took turns playing the historical figures Jang Hi-bin and Hwang Jin-hi in the movies.

Now, you can add Empress Myeongseong to the list.

Stars including Kang Soo-yeon, Choi Myeong-gil, Chae Si-ra, Lee Mi-yeon and Moon Geun-yeong have recently played the role of the hwanghu, which means empress in Korean.

The latest: actress Soo-ae, known throughout the country for her classical beauty. Soo-ae plays Empress Myeongseong in the recently released film "The Sword with No Name", which is based on a book by Ya Seol-lok and was directed by Kim Yong-gyoon.

The movie depicts a desperate romance between the empress and warrior Mu-myeong (Jo Seung-woo). The empress, a forward-thinking advocate of modernity, wields her political influence to further her ideals. But she is often at odds with her orthodox father-in-law, regent Daewon-gun (Cheon Ho-jin), and meets a tragic death in her lover's arms. The movie is loosely based on history, but there ar...| More

Experience is speaking volubly on the small screen these days, as former teen stars and now middle-aged veteran actors have made comebacks.

Local dramas have been favored ― and criticized - for pretty but inexperienced new faces depicting love triangles and romantic stories. However, many female viewers in their late 20s, 30s and 40s have noticed the charms of the realistic world of politics, both office and real life, portrayed by older actors who may not be young and fresh, but have the charisma and experience to lead.

The current most popular Monday-Tuesday period drama "Queen Seon-deok" (MBC) stars Ko Hyeon-jeong as the femme fatale Mi-shil of the Shilla Kingdom. The series may be the first period drama of her acting career, but the 38-year-old actor is making headlines.

"I watch the drama because of Ko. The other characters are interesting, but Ko does a great job portraying the mean, yet charismatic Mi-shil", Youn Myung-sook, 51,...| More

The May 31 episode of "The Iron Empress" featured conflict between Hwang Bo-su (Chae Si-ra) and her son, Prince Gaeryeong (Lee In), over power succession.

Nearing death due to an illness and having no rightful heir, King Seongjong (Kim Myeong-soo) decided to hand over the throne to Prince Gaeryeong, who had been deprived of his right to the throne over his mother's attempt to dethrone the king.

Hwang was released from exile and came to see her son. "At last you are to become a king", she said. But Prince Gaeryeong replied, "I don't want to be a king. There is no good reason for me to become a king. Please tell that to the king".

This made Hwang angry, and she said, "Don't you know how many people had to sacrifice themselves to make you a king". The prince said, "That is exactly why I don't want to be a king. I don't really care at all about the bloodstained throne".

He continued, "Do you have any idea about what the throne means to me? It's a curse to me. It pitted the one ...| More

The May 24 episode of "The Iron Empress" featured Prince Gaeryeong, Wang Song, and Yoo Seon, his future wife, as adults.

Wang Song pleaded with Queen Munhwa (Moon Jeong-hee) to save his mother, Hwang Bo-su (Chae Si-ra), whose attempt to carry out a coup failed. The queen told him to give up his right to succeed to the throne in return.

Wang said to King Seongjong, "I did not fulfill my responsibility as a son, so please deprive me of the right to the throne and forgive my mother". Hearing this, Hwang Bo-su told him, "Please take good care of yourself. Do not lose courage and confidence".

Ousted and reduced to an ordinary man, Wang was confined in a small palace. Gangjo (Choi Jae-seong), who took part in the failed plot, was also deprived of his rights and ordered to assist him. Kim Chi-yang (Kim Seok-hoon) was sent into exile to a remote island and Hwang Bo-su to another country.

Hwang, on her way to exile, met Yoo Seon and asked her to find Wang and take care of him.

On the May 23 episode of "The Iron Empress", Hwang Bo-su, played by Chae Si-ra, finally carried out a coup where her followers captured King Seongjong, played by Kim Myeong-soo.

Hwang had been concerned that Goryeo would be put in danger again as the king tried to depend on the Song Dynasty of China for its defense rather than trying to strengthen its own power when it had recently had a war with the Khitan people.

Hwang and her followers had made thorough preparations for the coup by winning over political rivals; organizing militias; getting rid of Prince Daeryang, the rival of Prince Gaeryeong; causing a stir among people; and seizing the military power in the palace.

But Prince Gaeryeong, who would succeed to the throne in case of the ousting of King Seongjong, has lost confidence in his own ability since learning that he is epileptic. He was also displeased that Hwang was trying to cause damage to her own brother, King Seongjong.

Queen Munhwa (Moon Jung-hee) asked Choi...| More
