Will the real Seo Woo please stand up?

Since I have been on this month long quest to perfect my Seo Woo celeb sim (really the first time I have ever been consumed with Sim creation), I thought I would post a little something about the real Seo Woo.


She's a 20-something Korean starlet, known for being as cute as a pixie and infamous for being "plastic"--that is people think her big eyes and perky nose are a product of plastic surgery.  I like her because she is strange looking --that kind of pretty that looks like an alien.  I can't stop staring at her face.


Kdramas and Movies

I first saw her in Tamra the Island, an MBC kdrama where she played a female diver from ancient Jeju Island who meets an Englishman.  Excitement and romance swiftly ensues.  It was notable for being a major drama that had a non-Korean lead.  Seo Woo played an adorable misfit who also happened to be dumb as a brick.  It was quite funny.


Her last drama was Cinderella's Sister, where she plays the eponymous Cinderella-a sweet girl with a jealous and vindictive side.  She alternately made me love, pity, be annoyed by and hate her character.




Despite her reputation for being cute, Seo Woo seems to be a fairly good actress.  At least she is trying to take on interesting roles.   She was great in Crush and Blush and I hear Paju is supposed to be good also.


Commercials
Last but not least, she seems to be going the CF route.  The commercial below is funny as hell--it captures almost everything I like about the characters that Seo Woo plays and reminds me of what playing her sim is like (her sim is cute and goofy) as she mainly likes to make faces at herself in the mirror:
