Kim Tae-hee Biography
Kim Tae-hee made her entertainment debut as a model in late 90s, before started acting in some cameo roles.
Kim’s breakthrough came in 2003 with popular drama “Stairway to Heaven”, co-starringKwon Sang-woo and Choi Ji-woo. Kim played the bad character in the drama, but her appearance and acting has won her many fans.
Kim Tae-hee then landed a leading role in “Forbidden Love” before starring in “Love Story in Harvard” (LSIH) alongside Kim Rae-won in 2005. LSIH was a great hit in Korea and some Asian countries, and Kim becomes a regional superstar.
LSIH is Kim’s last drama to date; she starred in movie “The Restless” in 2006… a huge budget movie that ended in disappointment. Her latest movie is “Quarrel” (Ssawoom) which is premiering in December 2007.
Kim Tae-hee has been featuring in lots of commercial films; lots of her CF are well received by fans and consumers, but there are critics arguing that she should spend more time on acting in real dramas and movies instead of all the commercials.
One undeniable fact though, Kim Tae-hee still remains as one of the most popular Korean actresses in Asia.
