Meet Han So-Hee, The Stunning Actress You'll Love To Hate In "The World Of The Married"
She's gaining popularity for her latest K-Drama role!
We found our newest girl crush: up-and-coming Korean actress Han So-Hee!
As we binge-watch the ongoing JTBC K-Drama The World of the Married (or A World of Married Couple), we can't help but notice this gorgeous 25-year-old as she takes on the challenging role of a mistress (Yeo Da-kyung). Starring alongside 52-year-old actress Kim Hee-ae (as Ji Sun-woo) and 43-year-old Park Hae-joon (as Lee Tae-oh), Han So-hee is showing a lot of promise in acting!
However, this newfound fame has resulted to some backlash after past photos of her smoking and showcasing her tattoos surfaced recently. As the rising star is being criticized by netizens, a friend of Han So-hee's came to her defense, saying, "Tattoos and smoking, it’s only an issue when women do it. Honestly, it’s just sexist and discrimination to think that [smoking and tattoos] can be okay for male actors, but there is an issue when a female actress does it." When Han So-hee decided to pursue acting, she had her tattoos removed.
Han So-hee has been receiving lots of attention and it's completely understandable why. This is because The World of the Married (which was based on British TV series Doctor Foster) quickly soared as the third highest-rated drama in Korean cable television history, next to Sky Castle (JTBC) and Crash Landing on You (tvN), with six episodes so far; episode 6 got a nationwide rating of 18.816%. And in JTBC's history, this series is now their second highest-rated drama, bumping off Itaewon Class to the next spot with its 18.3% rating for the finale episode.
