She is so pretty...I wish she and Kim Bum will have a drama or movie together. They have a great chemistry...:)

I dislike Pocari Sweat. But Kim So-Eun is a cutie. I wonder if she is a good actress? (I've not seen BFF or Iron Empress or The Man Who Can’t Get Married... )

JB (or anyone else with an opinion): of the people of Kim So Eun's generation, who is the best actor / actress? Or, if not "best," who are the ones to keep an eye on?

i guess go ah ra / lee yeon hee / park shin hye?

for me, kim so eun is very pretty and cute. but i dont think she's the best actress in her generation.. moon geun young is absolutely the best.

i think kim so eun is quite good in acting. but i'm honestly not so sure why is she capturing so much attention after BBF.. because she hasn't prove anything yet until now.
hmm..

im really looking forward to watching her drama
it looks very interesting, plus ide like to see her in a different role, so we can actually judge her acting skills.
she was a favorite in boys over flowers, lets see if its the same in the man who can't get married

WOW! Love the perm...she's rockin' the style ^_^!!!

I used to watch "Iron Empress" when she was still in it. She has that kind look about her, but very dominating as far as acting goes.

Lovely lovely girl!

I'm currently watching Kekkon Dekinai Otoko, I really wanna see how she'll play the part of Michiru. I guess I'll have to wait 'til Story of a Man's over on KBS America, unless somebody posts eps on Viikii.

I'm so happy for my OTP, they're both busy!

Wow, Moon Geun Young (문근영) won Baeksang for Painter of the Wind. I've never seen anything she has been in. And Park Bo Young ... haven't seen her in anything either...

Time never stops, does it.

We all get older and everyone who we liked is getting older and the next generation is coming up.

Well, Kim So Eun, Moon Geun Young and Park Bo Young... now on my "pay attention to" list. Not sure when we will see anything by them in the near future, but at least now, I know the names.

Thank you!

wow i love her curls!!

I've started watching Kim So-eun in The Man Who Can't Get Married and her role is really a far cry from Gaeul in BOF. I think I read somewhere that the character she is portraying is much older than her actual age, and yeah she is quite sly here unlike her previous role. I can't really tell more about the drama and I haven't seen the original production yet but I find Kim So-eun adorable in the drama, I think she could pull it off successfully. She's one of the next generation of actresses I'm rooting for too.

Wow! She looks so different! I love watching her in BOF.
I like Park Bo-young too in Speed Scandal!
Although both of them are very young but they are really good in their acting. That's no doubt about it.

I dont think Moon is in Kim's generation. She should be in a different group(born in 1985~1988), nd other generation(1989~1992).Well, no doubt Moon is good at acting,but for her, it is very difficulte to change a new style. Kim So Eun is good, has better acting skills than her generation ppl nd shes pretty! I would go for her.
I enjoy the new drama very much even I ve seen the Japanese version before!

I liked her as Ga Eul, She never over acted, never forced on the sweet cute side. Especially compared to Jan Di. I thought she conveyed emotions by acting simply. And she is so fresh and young!

i agree with snoopy...i liked ga eul in BBF because she was so fresh & down to earth..like a normal person..as opposed to the caricatures ahem.. portrayed by some of the other characters :p

she is quite pretty in those curls..now i feel like going out & perming my hair!

yup she is good.. and i think she even can bring more. so hopfully i'll see other dramas than BBF for her.

I totally agree for Shim Eun-kyung (Legend). she was amazing. definitely i'll keep an eye on her.

for lee Yeon-hee. i was really disappointed with her role in EOE. it was a really big role. too bad she missed the opportunity.

for Han Hyo-joo she is doing pretty good in Brilliant legacy. but again like Kim So-eun she can bring even more.

btw Kim So-eun looks wonderful in Singles. i think she got that attention bcz she has this special beauty comparing to her generation. and let's be honest the lead girl in BBF kinda disappointed us. so we want other girl to like. and she was there with the cutie Kim bum.

and for The Man Who Can’t Get Married. it will be even easier to love her more (at least for me) bcz i'm not a fan of Uhm Jung Hwa.

aww.. she's so purrdy! <3<3<3 XD
& i agree with JB's comment on #3 ;)

I haven't seen the drama yet but will get to it soon when the subs are completed! Woot!

She was wonderful as Ga Eul! Loved her! And she looks so great with the perm! So different!

I'm a totally newbie to the Kdrama world, but would Yoon Eun Hye be in her generation, or is she a bit older? Either way, I adore her! I recently finished watching Coffee Prince and am now watching Goong. If it isn't too weird for me to claim an actress like I've claimed actors (Kim Bum & Kim Joon) I would totally claim Yoon Eun Hye!

For me I can proudly say that I watch KSE not just because she's a pretty face but because she is naturally talented and can quite act well. Unlike someone like, say, Kim Tae Hee, who I'm only watching because her face is smaller than the size of a CD.

The Man Who Can't Marry has so far been LOTS OF FUN. I mean, this is the first k-drama I've decided to watch before English subtitles have been released so I can only imagine my enjoyment for this series will be magnified 100 time over once the lovely people at WITHS2 have finished the subs. I haven't seen the original Japanese drama yet so I guess this allows me to appreciate the Korean remake more.

I love Pocari Sweat BTW. It's nowhere near as sickeningly sweet as Gatorade/Powerade and seems to quench the thirst a bit better. Oh, and the fact that it's endorsed by Kim So Eun only makes it taste that little bit better ;)

wow....i like her photo in single. she's so different, but still pretty as usual...

very pretty lady!!!

Kim So Eun was the first major reason i've watched Iron Empress, her acting there is so good compare to her 'sister' (the one playing younger Shinae)...
and her beauty is so fresh compare to go ara or lee yeonhee...
and i agree with you JB, Kim So Eun, Park Bo Young and Moon Chae Won are the actresses to watch for in the upcoming years...

I have that type of hair after a shower so for me it's not really a 'hot' look. =P I prefer her with her straight hair. But to each her own I guess.

For me, Nam Ji Hyun who plays the younger version of Queen Seon Duk is the best actress in the 'younger' generation. I guess she is too young though to be in the same group as Kim So-eun as she's a '95-er.

No doubt she's pretty, AND talented. No wonder everybody craves for her nowadays... haven't seen her latest drama yet, but I think she'll do well. She was pretty impressive in Cheon Chu and BBF..

#19 Andromytta,

Yoon Eun Hye's not in the same age generation as Kim So Eun. She's an 84-er... same year as Han Ji Hye and Lee Da Hae.

Moon Geun Young's totally a catch. She may be 3 years older than KSE, but she's way ahead of her in terms of experience in the industry. She's been acting like since she was 12/13? I don't remember. But she's currently my fav young actress - totally blew me away in Painter of the Wind.

Shin Eun Kyeong's also a gem. I remember seeing her in Hwangjini and The Legend, and she was so good. When she grows up she's gonna rawk em all...

the eye makeup is love...
better try it tom.

ji jinhee is so funny and good at acting in the man that can't get married. kim so-eun is okay with her acting i guess but she's acting older than she really is so i think it would be hard

Kim So Eun was the first major reason i’ve watched Iron Empress, her acting there is so good compare to her ’sister’ (the one playing younger Shinae)…

Not only her sister, but also a lot better than Chae Si Ra's potrayel of Empress Chun Chu. I just couldn't stand watching CSR after watching KSE for 8 episodes I had to give up what was initially a very good series.

kim so-eun is okay with her acting i guess but she’s acting older than she really is so i think it would be hard

Isn't that what makes her performance impressive though, since she carries off her new older image very well, as opposed to her much younger roles in BoF and IE.

Kim So Eun iis refreshingly pretty with clear, clear skin. But not in these pics. She looks scary here, like she's ready to stab people anytime. LOL.

I am a big fan of BBF and acting-wise, I think she would have done wonders with the role of Jan-di. Kim So Eun is a natural that she can be cute and strong-willed without overdoing it (I cringed each time Gu Hye Sun tried to get cutesy, she never really pulled it off). I have to watch Iron Empress to see more of Kim So Eun's acting.

Aside from Kim So Eun, I also like Park Bo Young, Lee Yeon Hee is quite good in Hello, Schoolgirl but I know the real challenge is in heavier roles. Go Ara, I think, is okay especially when she cries (think Who Are You?), and Yoon Ah was pretty good in 9 End 2 Outs but totally ho-hum in Cinderella Man.

As for Moon Geun Young, I will never find her pretty although she is cute as a button but she can really act. I loved her since My Little Bride.

And I loved Lee Da Hae in My Girl but I hated all her dramas that came after. And Han Ji Hye? I only like her when she dances.

Moon Geun Young is so far ahead of the pack, it's not even funny. She's clearly the best actress of her generation, the most sensitive and lovable young korean actress you can find. Go Ara and Lee Yeon Hee are both pretty, but kinda flaky and shallow in their acting. I kinda like Kim So-eun. She's not quite there yet in her acting skills, but she has a natural beauty that is pleasing and her acting is quite natural too. Kim So-eun should have a bright future ahead of her.

i thought she was pretty in BOF but now she looks older to me...i wouldn't say that she's pretty right now but more like ok-looking..and those pictures are definitely not amazing in any way...aside from the heavy make-up and crazy hair the photos are quite boring.

@31- i totally agree with you when it comes to LDH...loved My "Girl" but she went downhill from there!

@piper

Moon Geun Young is just 2 years different from her. so she IS in Kim So Eun's generation.

anyway, she looks pretty there. I love her chubby cheek and curvy lips. i hope she wont lost her weight like most actress. they actually look prettier before they lost their weight.

@sun.up

Huh, you talking to me?? Did I say she WASN'T in Kim So Eun's generation? Clearly Moon Geun Yeung is ahead of everyone else I mentioned in my post. Who are ALL in her generation. Do I need to spell that out too? Sheesh. I think somebody needs to buy reading glasses... or attend comprehension class. @_@

@#26 ripgal:

Thanks for the info. I'll eventually get it all straight! :D

Although I like So Eun but I don't like that hair sorry heheh!! But she is still pretty no doubt about that..When it comes to her acting in all of her dramas she always show different type of acting skills which makes me proud of liking her. She is really good and she will surely wins an award if she is given the right projects

nice

So Eun's really pretty. This picture is just a new look for her because of the magazine. Her usual photos are more matching to her age, more fresh and clean of makeup. lol I really admire her character, she's got lots of charisma. (Kim Bum agrees. ^^)

Please visit her official international forum for the latest SoEun infos. : http://www.soeun-angels.com

im watching the man who can't get married now

its kinda campy and the main character dude is so odd but its funny and charming in a strange way and i LOVE what she brings to the table in her role as yoojin. shes cute and funny and nice but humorous and sly and teases her friends. i like that shes showing her diversity as an actress iin this drama.

I like her also and feel potential, I kept wishing for more scenes of her in Boys Before Flowers; although I think they started picking up on her potential and production started moving more in that direction.

She has a really soft-spoken aura about her, and I'm sure if they give her a big project (preferably a drama or comedy with good story line & people her age), she would be the next ha ji won or something. I feel that she has something not even Go Ara or Yoon Ah has. (besides Go Ara's acting sucks. and Yoona is overrated.)

And it's a good thing KSE isn't a stick. Every girl I see in the buisness has no meat in them.

I'm rooting for this girl, and after this drama, I wish more success in her projects. And although me and my sister aren't really up to watching He Who Can't Marry (viikii is being a b!tch), we're ready for her movie with Seungho.

i really like here she is beautiful

i hope she and Kim Bum will work together soon
i m waitin

I wonder why she quits the mystery murder,...i now watching the corner with love(taiwanese) after that i i guess i will watch the Man who can't get married if it's on sale....if it's not i'm going to watch the unstoppable high kick...
I love kim sang bum there...
I hope they can create a movie together..i think many fans will watch it...
Because they hav e a great great chemistry in BOF(boys over flowers)..
KSB2 make a movie together with kim bum and kim so eun...sure it really gonna raise more than 8 millions..maybe billions....I'm really gonna buy it..

I like this actress in Iron Empress , pretty and talented ,. She makes me like
her character so much , i wish she would continue her role as mature Empress.

After watching autumn tale i thought Moon geun young is the finest korean actress in korea but Kim so eun has made me realise that Korea never fails to surprise the world with pure gem Moon geun young and kim so eun are the two most amazing young actress i have ever seen. Here in India our actresses grow in their acting skills with time but these young ladies are exceptional we in India think they took acting lessons ever since they were born.
