The 7 Works That Define Song Hye Kyo's Career as an Artist

Song Hye Kyo is a renowned actress, born in 1981, who first rose to fame after participating in the SunKyung Smart Model Contest at the age of 15. She has appeared in various acting projects, but it was her role in KBS' drama "Autumn in My Heart" (2000) that truly established her as a top star.

Fans have identified seven works that they consider to be Song Hye Kyo's defining performances.

The first work is SBS' sitcom "Soonpoong Clinic," where Song Hye Kyo played the role of Oh Hye Kyo, a feisty and immature college student. Despite her pretty appearance, her acting skills and character portrayal earned her huge popularity.

In KBS2's drama "Autumn in My Heart," Song Hye Kyo played the tragic heroine Choi Eun Suh, who suffered from leukemia. The drama ended in tragedy, making it the only work among Song Hye Kyo's projects to do so. It achieved the highest rating of 42.3%, the highest among KBS' Monday-Tuesday dramas.

In 2003, Song Hye Kyo played the main character Min Su Yeon in SBS' drama "All In," which tackled the casino world. The work received a great response from viewers, despite its "Adults Only" rating, with an average rating of almost 40%.

In KBS2's drama "Full House" (2004), Song Hye Kyo played Internet novelist Han Ji Eun, a bizarre and lively character that won her "Top Excellence Award, Actress," "Popularity Award, Actress," and "Best Couple (with Rain)" at the 2004 KBS Drama Awards.

After a five-year hiatus, Song Hye Kyo reunited with writer Noh Hee Kyung, who wrote KBS' drama "Worlds Within," in SBS' drama "That Winter, the Wind Blows" (2013). She played Oh Young, a blind person, who falls in love with Oh Soo (Jo In Sung), a man who takes advantage of her to pay off his debts.

In KBS2's drama "Descendants of the Sun" (2016), Song Hye Kyo played Kang Mo Yeon, a tenacious doctor, and achieved great success with an average rating of 14.5%. She fell in love with co-star Song Joong Ki and the two got married on October 31, 2017. However, they announced their divorce just two years later, which came as a shock to many fans.

Finally, "The Glory" is Song Hye Kyo's first Netflix work, released in 2023, and marks her reunion with writer Kim Eun Sook, six years after "Descendants of the Sun." The drama revolves around Moon Dong Eun (Song Hye Kyo), a former victim of school violence seeking revenge on her bullies after taking up a job as a homeroom teacher at the bully's child's elementary school. Season 2 is set to be released on March 10th.
