Lee Da Hee may not win every case she prosecutes in the drama "I Hear Your Voice," but she is winning rave reviews from viewers of the courtroom drama.
The actress has only played supporting roles before now but all that should change after her appearance in this popular drama. In the drama, which has already surpassed 20 percent of the viewers and holds the number one spot in its time slot, Lee Da Hee play Prosecutor Seo Do Hyun. Her character serves as a foil to Lee Bo Young's Jang Hye Sung. In their rivalry, she eagerly desires to beat Lee Bo Young and yet she also has a strong sense of justice.
Here are a few facts you may not know about this talented actress:
1) She is not Lee Da Hae. Their names are so similar that the two actresses are often confused. She did not go out with Lee Dong Wook. She has not admitted to having plastic surgery. And she is not best buddies with Super Junior's Heechul. However, every time you "google" Lee Da Hee, you will get at least a few stories about Lee Da Hae.
2) Although she has never been a prosecutor she has experience at winning. Lee Da Hee got her debut into show business as a result of winning the 2002 Super Elite Modeling Contest.
3) She was not always happy with her height. She weighs 108 pounds and is about 5' 8." Although that is not really beanpole height being taller than average has made her feel self-conscious.
"I've long had a complex about my height although being tall helps when I am modeling in fashion photographs," said Lee Da Hee. "I really like modeling. I get to try on so many clothes and get a chance to find the right style for me, so it's fun."
4) Comeback or breakthrough? People are calling her role in "I Hear Your Voice" her comeback role although it's not really a comeback as the actress has been quietly playing supporting roles since her debut. She appeared as a golfer alongside UEE in "Birdie Buddy," had a cameo in " I Need Romance," and had parts in "Sad Love Song," "Air City," "The Legend," "Myung Wol The Spy" and "Welcome Rain To My Life." She got good reviewes for her role in "The Secret of Coco Island."
Maybe it would be more accurate to describe this role as her breakout role.
5) Would the real Lee Da Hee stand up? When the drama started, her appearance quickly became a trending topic. Netizens commented that her appearance had changed dramatically. Lee Da Hee's face seems slimmer than it did in some of her modeling photos around the time of her debut. There were rumors of plastic surgery, none confirmed, but the confusion may have been caused by the fact that Lee Da Hae, the popular actress with the same name, has already admitted to plastic surgery. But after her performance in "I Hear Your Voice," it will be harder to confuse her with anyone else.
