Kim So-yeon turned 30 last week, and since she’s hard at work filming a drama at the moment (SBS’s Dr. Champ), she celebrated the event on set.
Her birthday was on November 2; the following day, the drama’s crew surprised her with a party and a cake while she was at the Hallym University hospital in Anyang to shoot scenes. She’s got a particularly good relationship with the staff, with whom she also worked on her previous drama, SBS’s Prosecutor Princess; in fact, she says she chose this role not only because she liked the character, but because of her faith in the crew.
The other stars, of course, were also on hand for the festivities, which include Uhm Tae-woong, who plays her boss in the drama, and Jung Kyeo-woon, who plays her athlete love interest.
Kim said, “For actors, II think spending a birthday on a filming set is a happy occasion. I’m truly thankful for our Dr. Champ staff, who are always working hard even in difficult conditions.”
Dr. Champ, which just aired its 14th episode, is heading toward its close and will be wrapping up next week with its 16th episode. While it’s a drama I hadn’t had particular expectations for, it’s proven to be pretty entertaining, not to mention visually beautiful. I’m always happy when a drama exceeds my expectations.

Since All About Eve, there’s actually only been a couple of years that she wasn’t involved in a tv or movie project. I guess those other dramas flew under the radar…?
Happy Belated Birthday, Kim So-yeon!
she is so underrated. indeed!!!.
starting from all about eve i always think that she should be leading actress. i even think her acting much better than Chae rim at that time.
Happy Birthday onnie
I think that period she went over to China for some dramas? I think I saw her in one….
my first KSY drama was Autumn Shower i think, which also starred Oh Ji Ho,Jung Ryeo Won n Lee Chun Hee. she was great in it. she played a scientist who became crippled after an accident during her honeymoon and then her husband had an affair with her best friend. i really like that drama. conflicts n angst of love, friendship, betrayal n forgiveness were played well in it, the ending was awfully touching n beautiful. sniff* although the ratings were poor and i don’t think many ppl like it.
My first KSY drama was IRIS, and I was blown away by her sexy and badass North Korean spy character. I checked to see what other projects she was in, and then watched All About Eve. I agree with mimim that KSY outshined Chae Rim in many scenes. After that, I fell in love with her in PP…and am thoroughly enjoying her in DC.
Where’s PSH? *giggles*
Happy birthday unnie! not only am I loving dr. champ, but I love that we have the same birthday! Yay! And can I just say she is looking FABULOUS at 30!
Ohemgee,
You share the same birthday as Kim So-yeon?
Then-
Happy Belated Birthday!
The cake looks BEAUTIFUL.
Happy birthday KSY! Love you so much, fightingggg^^
Does anybody know with whom is KSY dating? or with whom Jung Gyu Woon dating? Thanks^^
hahaha “surprised” …. yeah right….
this whole “surprise party on set” thing is so old already…, it was done so many times, i’m sure the actors are already aware of the possibility of that to happen to them as well.
i’m just sayin’
what a cute cake!
ohhh, my eyes searched for Jung Kyeo-woon immediately!
why he’s standing back and far???
That’s what I’m sayin’. It’s either he’s shy or they’re not that close yet. Hehehee. Belated happy bday KSY!
love you KSY, so adorable
She is a great actress….seems like no more baddie roles for her since All About Eve. Glad that she wasn’t typecast! She was really memorable in that drama =)
awwwwww….i really wish her all the best…she is my newest girl crush of 2010
