Kim Sunah

She, a natural born fighter! Jea-in is a cop who used to subdue all the students in her teens. A missin to chatch a gangster falls upon her so she poses as a high school girl to get close to the gangster's daughter. But she falls for a handsome high school guy No-young and forgets about her duty....

Last year actress Kim Sun-ah became a household name with her beguiling "girl (or woman)-next-door" character Kim Sam-soon in the phenomenal hit television drama "My Lovely Samsoon." Besides her oh-so-real act, Kim bravely gained 8 kilograms for the role, earning the nickname of Korean Renee Zellweger.

More actresses are following in her footsteps on small screens, willingly taking on parts that are far from attractive, instead of playing typical, pretty faces.

One of the most notable is Park Jin-hee, who is starring in Seoul Broadcasting System's "Please Come Back, Soon-ae," opposite Shim Hye-jin.
