@purplesheesh – I can’t seem to comment on your post about favourite actresses because it says I’m using an inappropriate word(?!), but I loved the question and all the responses so far! I’ll nest my responses in this post so as not to clog the wall. :o)
These are the 5 actresses I love at the moment. I think it’s about more than their acting – they make me interested in the characters they play, and I don’t get distracted by their person/persona when they’re in character. In no particular order:
– Han Ye Ri
– Jang Na Ra
– Jung So Min
– Jeon Yeo Bin
– Shin Hye Sun
I think this has made me realise that I’m probably contributing to the toxic celebrity culture by preferring actresses who are not in the gossip spotlight as much. I actually really loved Seo Ye Ji’s performance in It’s Okay to Not Be Okay but I think I would now struggle to see her in character and not be distracted by what I’ve read about her as a person. But that’s hopefully not the same for everyone. I know I personally struggle to separate the artist from the art.
Also, my list above features actresses on the younger end of the spectrum, so I would add:
– Kim Mi Kyung
– Kim Hae Sook
– Yoon Yeo Jung
– Jin Hee Kyung
– Ra Mi Ran
It seems to me that there’s a dearth of diverse and interesting roles for women over 40 (or I haven’t watched a wide enough range of genres yet!). Hope there will be more in the future!
