Three buzzworthy Korean actresses of the K-drama scenes in the first quarter of 2023: One name went through such a drastic transformation that shocks the audience

Be it historical or modern-themed dramas, these actresses can pull it off immaculately. 

Pyo Ye Jin

Pyo Ye Jin debuted in 2016 after quitting her job as a flight attendant and had a long journey to reach stardom. The actress started gaining recognition as the IT analyist of a vigilante team in “Taxi Driver” and is promoted as a leading lady in the second season of the drama. In “Our Blooming Youth,” Pyo Ye Jin plays Ga Ram, Min Jae Yi’s only friend and is gaining more attention for her scene-stealing acting performance. “Taxi Driver” and “Our Blooming Youth” present two different images of the actress but are united through a portrayal of a strong and resourceful female character.

Jeon So Nee

Jeon So Nee is currently drawing attention for two contrasting images set against two different periods. As the leading lady in “Our Blooming Youth”, Jeon So Nee captures attention with a standard “Sageuk fairy” beauty, in spite of her acting performance. In the movie “Soulmate” co-starring Kim Da Mi, the actress fleshes out a more complex character who has gone through many ups and downs of life. The movie sets against a more modern backdrop and helps gain more praise for the actress.

Shin Ye Eun

Shin Ye Eun is gaining much attention for her amazing acting chops with versatility and perfect role immersion. For “The Glory”, Shin Ye Eun puts on a haunting performance by transforming into the highschool version of Park Yeon Jin who tortures her peers for the sheer fun of it. She is cruel, evil and manipulative. In contrast, Yoon Dan Oh (Shin Ye Eun) from “The Secret Romantic Guesthouse” is a bright, cheerful and energized inn owner who helps her guests with a bright smile. These two roles alone show the range of roles Shin Ye Eun is capable of taking on. Attention is directed to what project she will take on next, following these two dramas.
