She truly was gifted--she brought so much to all of her roles. Loved her potty-mouth in Bad Family, her sagacity in MNIKSS and Dae Jang Geum. Now I'm gonna look for her other dramas.

She is irreplaceable in my book.

I was shocked by news of her health weeks earlier when KBS announced her replacement in KBS' Love & Obsession a.k.a The Tale of Janghwa and Hongryeon (장화홍련) by actress Jun Yang Ja. Up to her hospitalization several weeks ago, Yeo Won-kye had filmed 18 episodes of the KBS morning daily drama.

She was an awesome actress..especially in DJG, MNIKSS ..and yes i love her the movie Mapado too..

R.I.P ma'am...you'll be greatly missed..

My Condolences to her family n friends..

R.I.P

@ 44: thanks for the answer, i was wondering about it :)

I missed her already....Yoo Woon Kye RIP :'(

Goodbye... Will always remember her from DJG and MNIKSS...

another recent drama she was in... 쩐의전쟁 / War of Money. she will be missed...

it is a really sad news.

She is so beautiful. My gawd. In all her dramas, she shined and ... my gosh.

i cried when i saw the news. i watched her in several dramas and she was a great actress. rest in peace, you will be remembered.

Korea lost of one of their best veteran actresses, may she rest in peace...

I loved her in MNIKSS and Bad Family....

i love her in DJG, MNIKSS, Bad Family...
may she rest in peace and my condolence to her family...

What part did she play in MNIKSS?
May she RIP

dear jO jO
She was one of the staff at Samshik's cafe
[remember the part where..they interviewed samsoon?]

now this is just sad... i love the crancky grandma from bad family

KBS did something very moving, yet restrained and dignified, for the closing credit sequence of today's episode of The Tale of Janghwa and Hongryeon.

I won't detract from it by trying to describe it, but admirers of Yeo Woon Kye will want to see it.

To get the full poignancy, though, those who haven't been following this drama (i.e everyone aside from me and maybe two or three others scattered across the globe) will need to know that KBS have had to reshoot key scenes from the first 18 episodes (in which Yeo Woon Kye played the role of the dementia sufferer) so that when they re-occur as flashbacks, Jeon Yang Ja is now shown in those scenes in place of Yeo Woon Kye. They even changed the various photos hanging on walls. So the footage they showed this morning, with the simple but eloquent tribute scrolling over it, was all the more touching.

@41...

@41... the swastika was used extensively before WWII, since it is a lucky charm (I think..) for Asians...trivia: The swastika is in the Diamond Sutra, since (I think...?) it represents the heart of Buddha...

oh she's sad a best actress. I think she's the one that saved the Hello! Miss kdrama. Love her there. JB, can you find pictures of her when she's young? I bet she's quite beautiful and regal =)

I was wondering why they change Kangs mother in Love and Obsession...and now i know why. Gosh this is tragic. R.I.P. I havent been watching the show very long but i loved her character. God bless.

May god bless you, Yeo Woon-kye. Wherever you may be, I hope you're happy. Rest In Peace. The warmest wishes to her loved ones.
