Strangely,
Kim Hye-soo's beautiful face and curvaceous figure have not delivered box-office success for the actress. Her bold - and revealing - role in "
Hypnotized" did not impress moviegoers in 2004. Nor did a tour de force performance in 2005's horror flick "
Red Shoes".
However, a much-awaited turning point came in 2006 when Kim played a voluptuous character in director
Choi Dong-hoon's "Tazza: The High Rollers" ("
The War Of Flower"), a highly successful gambling flick. Both critics and mainstream viewers praised Kim's dauntless yet sensual portrayal of a gambling hostess, and her silver screen value soared.
As if her sexy image-making on the silver screen was not enough, Kim is doing it all again with a similarly sensuous role in "A Good Day to Have an Affai", a black comedy depicting two homemakers embroiled in extramarital affairs.
Jang Moon-il, who made the lighthearted comedy "The Happy Funeral Director" in 2000, directs the film.
