Biography
Gong Hyo-jin turned romantic comedies into an art form, building a two-decade career on charm and timing that made her South Korea's most dependable lead. Born in 1980 in South Korea, she began her rise with the television series Sang Doo! Let's Go to School (2003), followed by Thank You (2007) and the breakthrough film Crush and Blush (2008). Her portfolio of dramas reads like a masterclass in the genre: Pasta (2010), The Greatest Love (2011), Master's Sun (2013), It's Okay, That's Love (2014), The Producers (2015), Don't Dare to Dream (2016), and When the Camellia Blooms (2019). In 2019, Gallup Korea named her Television Actor of the Year, a recognition of her sustained excellence. As an actor, she works across television and film, bringing emotional depth to roles that often require balancing humor with vulnerability. Her Aries nature—direct, confident, energetic—shows in her screen presence: she commits fully to each character without artifice. South Korean cinema in the 2010s benefited enormously from her willingness to anchor ensemble casts and carry narratives that centered on messy, human romance.
