Seo Hyun-jin had her first glimpse of the celebrity world more than a decade ago - in 2001 to be specific. She was the lead vocalist for the girl band M.I.L.K. However, her singing group got disbanded soon, without having that break that they hoped to have.
Seo did not quit trying to have her time to shine, even if the road towards her most coveted opportunity was rough. She confessed that at one point, Seo never faltered, the naysayers and her parent's disapproval were never a hindrance. Last year, her role in the tvN drama, "Let's Eat" earned positive comments from both the masses and critics. Her latest drama "Oh Hae Young Again" on tvN is also enjoying good ratings.
The Monday-Tuesday drama "Oh Hae Young Again" started with ratings of 2.1 percent on its pilot episode on May 17. In just a month, the show's ratings rose to 10 percent, according to Soompi.
The steady rise of Seo's new drama has not only been attributed to her convincing portrayal of a lady with frequent emotional battles, but also to her chemistry with Yoo Seung Woo. Many people can relate to the mundane yet powerful characters in the show. Also, the dialogues are very realistic.
Critics in the South Korean entertainment industry are predicting that Seo Hyun-jin will soon be elevated to the "drama queen" status that all struggling actresses hope for.
