The ultimate babe! Currently the star of "Hello Francesca" and appearing as Princess Hwa Yong in "Palace".

Must put her back on top - where she belongs (in my dreams... )

Jason, you need to do more work on this actress - although I wouldn't classify it as 'work', necessarily...

Yes, sir!

Shim Hye-Jin to me is not just a pretty actress but she also is very intelligent. She is a kind of person nobody can take her lightly. When she talks, people pay attention to her. She is indeed a very sharp person and she can certainly act. She won Best Actress award (1992) in Nantes International Film Festival. She certainly was one of the best movie actresses in the 90s. I recommend "Green Fish" if you can find it with subtitles.

Recently she was asked if you was jealous of any young pretty Korean actresses. She said she is not jealous of anyone except one person. Jeon Ji Hyun, which happens to be one of my many favorite actresses.

Shim Hye-jin

Shim Hye-jin (b. January 16, 1967) ranks as one of the most visible stars of the 1990's, having starred in many of the highlight films of the decade. It was her second film, Park Kwang-su's Black Republic, that initially brought her widespread acclaim. Her performance as a woman in a mining community who falls in love with a student activist won her a Best Actress Award at the 1992 Nantes International Film Festival.

However her appearance in Kim Ui-seok's Marriage Story (1992) made her into an icon for young generation Korean women. The sex war comedy about a couple whose marriage deteriorates as the wife's career takes off ranked as the third best selling Korean film of all time after its release, and remains a classic of the early 1990s.

Shim would also star in other representative films of that era, such as White Badge, To the Starry Island, and Out to the World. After appearing in another trend-setting box office hit in Kang Je-gyu's The Gingko Bed, she teamed up with director Lee Chang-dong for his acclaimed debut Green Fish (1997).

As she reached her mid-thirties, however, many producers started turning to younger actresses, and Shim went five years without appearing in a single film. In 2003, she made her return with a lead role in Acacia, a horror film by Park Ki-hyung (Whispering Corridors, Secret Tears).

When I first saw 'Hello, Francesca', I thought it was just a Korean version of 'The Adams Family'.

I'm still trying to get rid of Cher!

I hadn't even thought of that!

J*m has ordered me to upload more pics of SHJ
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I dunno, she looks like the Korean version of Angelica Huston to me!
   

Overall, I'd say I like her. I like the first two pics that Jim posted and the large pic of her in the black dress that Lucas just re-posted.

She is a vampire in Hello Francesca.

Which is why I first thought Hello Francesca was a Korean Adams Family.

At 40 years old, she's a total hottie! I'll leave Yoo Ri to you younger guys to fight over.

I used to watch the Adams Family as a kid.

I only realized just now (from the pic. that Lucas posted) that Angelica Huston played Morticia. Strange!

Only in the movie versions. Carolyn Jones was Morticia on the TV series.

vampire??? o.o" what is Hello Francessa about?? Oh! im not gona miss JungRyoWon either

'Hello Francesca' was a 2 season comedy about a family of vamires which was being transported to Japan, but wound up in Korea. Shim Hye Jin was doing "Goong" during its 2nd season, so her appearances were limited. Also, there was a major cast change in the 2nd season which really didn't work out so well.
Daniel Henny made a guest appearance in one of the first season's episodes.

10x Jim, Karma to U
hmmm~ i've seen the synopsis source somewhere...
really looks like an ADDAM's Family thingy.. lol

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! NOT KARMA! ICK! ICK!

It's much like 'The Addams Family'. In fact, I thought it was just a Korean version when I first saw it.

Jim got +karma!!!!!!

 

Some more of this really hot babe.
 
 
 
 
 

I just love this girl

 

 

 

That's no girl, that's a WOMAN! Far to good for these young male whippersnappers around here. I, on the other hand...

Welcome Beekeeper!!

Looks like Jim has a new friend to talk with about Ms. Shim.

I can't believe they did it. Those freakin' nerds blew up the BuyMore.

She should just have her mole removed. Not that it's particularly obtrusive, but it's obvious photographers and make-up artists keep trying to hide, or mask, it.
