One of my top 5 favorite actresses EVER.

Kim Ji Soo may be outdated to most Soompiers, but she was pretty huge back then. She starred in some of the most popular dramas of ALL TIME, 보고 또 보고 and M.

After a ten year plus career in dramas, she finally stepped into the big screen with 여자, 정혜 (This Charming Girl). She swept all the critics and all the new actress movie awards for that film. I uploaded the movie just so everyone can have a chance to watch it. Not only is Kim Ji Soo captivating in it, but it's a wonderful film.

This Charming Girl put her back on the map. After that came out she became one of the most sought out actresses and starred in 3 movies in 2006, all melodramas.

Again, to most Soompiers her age and look may be outdated, but I think she's among the prettiest actresses of any age. It's amazaing how these Korean actresses age so well! Most, if not all, actresses in their thirties (even forties) now are even more beautiful than they were in their twenties.

[Guest loving_D]

are you kidding me? there wasn't a thread for her until now? i totally thought there was.

i love her. i think shes pure talent, beautiful, and charming.

shes in kim jang hoon's new music video right?

I could not agree more, such a beautiful actress... absolutely stunning in The Romance.

Thanks so much jahye for starting this thread, it's about time KJS has her own place right here at soompi. Honestly, I don't really know much about her till the drama Love and Ambition (with Park Jung Chul) and especially The Charming Girl which is just awesome. Definitely one of the actresses going far, and very beautiful too... oops... I've said that again.

It's really good that KJS, despite of the surge of younger and much younger actresses in the industry... she proved her mettle with great portrayal and onscreen chemistry with some of the top leading men of Kmovies. I wasn't informed about her before and the first series I saw wasn't really flattering but after This Charming Girl, The Romance... she's now in my Top 5, too.

ps: hope it's not too offtopic to ask based on some comments I read before... KJS' long-time boyfriend is Kim Joo Hyuk (Lovers in Prague) or is he not? :blush:

You're right, she is in Kim Jang Hoon's music video. It's just scenes from her movie Solace.

I say it all the time too, she really is beautiful.

I'm with you too on her shining now even amongst younger, newer faces.

I think that's the trend with the big star actresses in their thirties and forties now. They all starred in the biggest dramas of the nineties and didn't start their movie careers until they got older. It's great how long their careers last and like I said before, how they all look so much more beautiful now than before.

ps: hope it's not too offtopic to ask based on some comments I read before... KJS' long-time boyfriend is Kim Joo Hyuk (Lovers in Prague) or is he not? :blush:

Indeed, a very long-time boyfriend!

They got together when they both worked on the drama SBS 흐르는 강물처럼 in 2002 and have been together ever since.

Some pictures from the drama

(thumbnails)

Some candids together

They're not very open about their relationship. But that's how it is for all Korean entertainment couples except when they get married.

They belong to the same company 나무엑터스. It's a pretty big and established company, home to other big name actors like Moon Geun Young, Kim Tae Hee, Kim Min Jung and also the late Lee Eun Joo.

Their most recent photoshoot together (thumbnails)

Aw... thanks so much for all these lovely photos of KJS, and wow... she makes a great pair with KJH. Wow again, they've been 5 years together. :blush: The pics are just awesome, being in the same company... and clearly comfortable to be photographed together. Although (perhaps) not as open or outgoing as some of the other celeb-couples, I'm glad to see that they're not hiding... you know, like denying this and that. Simply amazed & happy to see the pics. Definitely wishing KJS-KJH loads of happiness.

At LEJ's funeral, KJS was clearly devastated. It's obvious the actresses were very close to each other and the impact of LEJ's passing was overwhelming. It must be very hard on Kim Ji Soo, losing her friend. Unimaginable.

Thanks jahye for the pics, love them all!

[Guest jojo]

Wonderful jahye! thank you so much for putting up this thread. It is beautifully done, you must have put in lots of effort. l hope to read more about her here....thanks again !

.....falls in love with her since l saw her in Romance and after that l start looking out for her early and current works and am so please to say that l manage to get several of her works. What come as a surpise to me is that l actually like her way back when l saw this AJW's "Bad Friends". l was attracted to her "tomboyish" character but most of all, her lovely face. Never really know her name then....she is simple and pretty then.....6 six years later, she is even more beautiful. l am shock and also surprise to see that she has been in the entertainment circle for so long, she has been appearing in dramas since way back in 1992, l am so glad that her talent is finally recognise....it is about time too !

Both Kim Joo Hyuk and her make a great pair ! Looking forward to them walking down the isle. KJH's late father was a well known actor whom l remember well when l first saw him in my 2nd k-drama - The Wedding Dress. He plays a kindly and wise grandpa to Kim Hee Sun and Lee Seon Yun in that KBS drama.

[Guest conduongmuathu]

She looks so gorgeous in Shinhwa. I love her so much

[Guest Epikt]

Yep, good actress.

And people who haven't seen This Charming Girl must see it, this movie is just one the best Korean movie done these last 4 or 5 years (even if, by the same director, Ad-Lib Night is finally better). She's great in this movie.

Unfortunately I didn't watch Bad Friends. I was never a fan of Ahn Jae Wook. I'm more like an anti-fan of his. I just.. hated the fact that he ALWAYS had to play leading, prince charming roles and I don't think he's ever played a role where he doesn't win the girl in the end.

I skimmed through the last episode.. she ends up with Lee Hoon's character I think.

I would have loved to watch that drama if Kim Ji Soo and Hur Joon Ho were paired up, but they weren't.

They worked in 3 dramas together, at least the 3 I know of: 나쁜 친구들, 보고 또 보고, and 온달 왕자들. It wasn't until their third time working together, in 온달 왕자들, they finally played a couple together.

I'm dying to watch that drama just to see Kim Ji Soo and Hur Joon Ho together. But I can't find it anywhere.

Yep, good actress.

And people who haven't seen This Charming Girl must see it, this movie is just one the best Korean movie done these last 4 or 5 years (even if, by the same director, Ad-Lib Night is finally better). She's great in this movie.

It really is one of the best smaller, lesser known Korean movies, at least from what I've seen.

Again, if anyone wants to see it, I posted links for download in the first post.

Hi Jahye,

Does M comes with English subtitles? if it does can you please pm me the clubox where l can download. l an very interested. l hear a lot about this drama. l do have a Korean version in wmv format but didn't see it yet as l cannot understand Korean....now that l know KJS is in it, l look forward to seeing it, especially if there is English sub.

l have seen her This Charming girl and is completely taken by a excellent performance there.....l have just gotten Traces of Love and can't wait to see that movie.

By the way, who is Hur Joon Ho ? l am sorry, l am not familiar with his name, perhaps l if l see his pix l will know who he is. l have several of KJS's old dramas and l would love to know who you are talking about.

It seems like she has appears in a drama with my favourite KMJ too....."Passion Years"....she must be really young then....it is a pity that l can't get hold of this old drama of MJ.

Thank you * ^ ^ *

Hur Joon Ho (허준호, b. 1964) is a movie/drama/musical actor.

His last movie was a flop, 중천 with Kim Tae Hee and Jung Woo Sung.

You might recognize him from Jumong, he played Hae Mosu (here with Oh Yeon Soo):

He was also in 부모님 전상서 as Kim Hee Ae's husband:

Too bad we can't find some of the older dramas anywhere. I would love to watch 온달왕자들 but I can find it any clubbox.

I bet http://clubbox.co.kr/lollol101 would have what we're looking for but I don't have access to that clubbox.

Isn't she beautiful?

With her Traces of Love costars

I added more episodes of M to the multimedia section.

I can upload to other sites if anyone knows of any that I can upload huge files onto for a long period of time. I only use megaupload because it can host large files and the links stay alive for a long time. Anyone know of any site that can upload 700MB for a long period of time?

[rubie]

^Hur Joon Ho is also known for his roles in series like Hotelier and All In, too... right? He was the bad guy in the former and the sweetest buddy in the latter. :blush:

I found this site, highly-recommended in a list for free hosting-sites. Truthfully, I'm not sure how good or reliable it really is. I tried uploading a 700+ clip once but probably because my connection is extra slow and I'm still on a backdated OS... I never got past a 2% upload even after hours of trying.

Maybe this works with better luck for you

[Guest Epikt]

The problem with this host is that it's not really easy for the donwloader : he can download 250MB only, and then have to wait for 1 or 2 hour before he can upload 250MB again, and so on.

=> a 700MB file = 5 or 6 hours to download

(if there is something to do - register or something like that - tell me because if there is not this problem anymore it is really interesting)

[Guest jojo]

Hi Jahye,

Thanks for the pix of Hur Joon Ho, l have in mind that he is the one but l am not too sure as l don't really know his name. Although he wouldn't never gets thousands of fans waiting for him at the airport but l think he is definitely a better actor than a lot of these idols. He face is ordinary but the characters he plays probably adds colour to the drama. l have an old drama of his with KJS but they didn't ends up as a pair. Could you give me the English name for 온달왕자들 ?

l am downloading M from clubox now but it taking a long time and l seems to have some problem with epi 1.

[Guest Epikt]

Could you give me the English name for 온달왕자들 ?

Foolish Princes.

(didn't find any tread in Soompy, but here is the page on MBC website)

[Guest Dahee Fanel]

Oh, I love her. She was absolutely breathtaking in This Charming Girl, and simply luminous in Traces of Love. I'm glad to see a person with so much talent regaining all her old recognition and fame.

Thanks for this thread!

[Guest ovette]
