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.

If there is shade, there is also a sunny spot. The entertainment industry also has its share of light and shade. It is especially prominent where siblings are both in the industry.

Most of the time, one sibling has all of the spotlight while one loses it. Those who don't receive recognition for their talent are called 'misfortunes'.

There are siblings even in this generation, including Ha Ji-won's younger brother Jeon Tae-soo, Chae Rim's younger brother Park Sang-uk, Lee Yo-won's cousin Lee Joong-moon, Jang Nara's older brother Jang Seong-won, Seo Ji-yeong's older brother Seo Bae-joon, Kim Hye-soo's youngest brother Kim Dong-hwi. Jeon Tae-soo acted in "A Good Day to Love" and "The King and I" but he cannot move past the label of being "Ha Ji-won's brother".

Park Sang-uk debuted in "The Coast Guard" in 2002, but he is not known at all. He received recognition recently as it became known that he was Chae Rim's brother. Kim Hye-soo's brothers Kim Dong-hwi and Kim Dong-hyeon filme...

# Choi Jin-sil
- Friends first, then study second… oppose to send off young children to foreign country to study -

Choi Jin-sil's first son, Hawn-hee enters a primary school in March. Recently in an interview from a show called "Watch shows, watch movie", she revealed her strong opposition toward current trend of sending off young children to foreign country to study.

I wish he could find good friends whom he could rely upon until he graduate high school and could share his life with". Choi Jin-sil holds a strong belief that making good friends is most important thing for her son at the moment. And she said she will only send him a...
In a recent TV commercial for Hanwha group's newly-built apartments, an elegant model pauses to take landscape pictures.
It isn't different from other commercials, until you find out that this model is not an entertainment star, but an ordinary career woman who works for a graphic design company. Kim Jung-eun, 29, was selected to promote Hanwha from among 750 candidates who participated in a modeling contest this March.
Why would any big company choose an ordinary person to promote their apartment when Kim Hyun-joo, a big star, has been their official until now?
Shin Wan-chol, an executive at Hanwha Engineering and Construction, offered an answer.
"Ordinary models bring more familiarity and intimacy to consumers than big stars", Shin said.
This is not the first commercial not to use top stars as promoters. Daelim Industrial Company also chose an unknown model in its commercial instead of Chae Si-ra, a well-known female actress. The commercial for Daedong Company's Dasoop apartment...
Last year actress Kim Seon-ah became a household name with her beguiling "girl (or woman)-next-door" character Kim Sam-soon in the phenomenal hit television drama "My Lovely Samsoon" ("My Name is Kim Sam-soon"). Besides her oh-so-real act, Kim bravely gained 8 kilograms for the role, earning the nickname of Korean Renee Zellweger.

More actresses are following in her footsteps on small screens, willingly taking on parts that are far from attractive, instead of playing typical, pretty faces.

One of the most notable is Park Jin-hee, who is starring in Seoul Broadcasting System's "Come Back, Soon Aae", opposite Shim Hye-jin.

Park is a 20-something flight attendant and has been having an affair with Shim's pilot husband. Their fates cross even more when the two women get into a car accident and find themselves in each other's body.

Park's performances as a married 40-year-old have impressed viewers; from blabbering with her friends and dancing at a sauna to making phone calls wh...

Korean dramas are getting old.

Young and glamorous stars in a typical "Cinderella-like" love story that have spurred hallyu, or the Korean Wave, are struggling to hold onto the viewers. Instead, soap operas targeting the older crowd, especially the "ajumma", are on the rise.

The "ajumma" refers to the middle-aged married women in Korean, who have always been steady drama watchers with huge power over who gets to control the tv remote as well as the household budget in Korean households.

But as viewers tire of stereotyped Korean dramas with sappy, romantic themes and repetitive storylines, the young, especially those in their 20s, are turning a cold shoulder to tv.

The current trendy dramas _ "Smile Again", aired on SBS featuring such top young stars as Kim Hee-seon and Lee Dong-geon, "Great Expectations" on KBS starring Kim Jae-won and Han Ji-min, and "One Fine Day", on MBC starring Gong Yu and Sung Yu-ree _ all ended up with low viewer ...
