Summary
Korean Superstar in the making!
Sohyeon is an 11-year-old Korean actress determined to shine bright at the top of K-Entertainment, which has taken over the world by storm. She dreams of becoming the next on-screen sensation, like her idol Jun Ji-hyun.
With her ecstatic image, Sohyeon garners appearances in numerous commercials and TV roles. The type of roles given, however, are very limited - a young, naive girl complementary only to the older protagonists and their storyline.
That is about to change as she enters puberty, graduating from the simpler child roles and challenged with more mature, complicated screen presence. With that, the young actress also faces the pressure to conform to the strict Korean beauty ideal, which encourages minors to even go as far as having plastic surgeries.
But Sohyeon isn’t afraid to say “no,” just like ‘The Girl’ in My Sassy Girl, a free-spirited heroine whose unapologetic character sets her own terms, played by none other than her hero, Jun Ji-hyun.
