Many Korean actors and actresses have transformed themselves in 2024 to make a point that they could play a variety of challenging roles. Among them is Kim Tae Ri, along with Kim Ji Won and Lim Ji Yeon. They are attracting an audience with their different appearances and complex layers of characters.

Kim Tae Ri

Kim Tae Ri has gained acclaim for her unforgettable performance in "The Handmaiden. " This year, she portrayed a complex character in "Jeong Nyeon: the Star is Born."

Her performance in the role has been praised by critics and fans, with many noting the complexity she brought to the character marking a departure from her past roles.

Kim Ji Won

Kim Ji Won is making a dramatic splash in "Queen of Tears" as a glamorous but divided woman who equally despises the husband she can't be without.

The drama depicts her as a titan cum maelstrom of human misery, navigating personal chaos while twisting in the winds of her public image — and it's already winning her awards.

Lim Ji Yeon

Lim Ji Yeon is another star who stepped up this year as she took on double roles, starring in the film Revolver and in the series The Life of Mrs. Ock.

One of the best on-screen performances, according to fans, shows Lim's versatility and commitment to the role — earning her an inclusive casting credit known for her intensity.

Kim Seo Hyung

Kim Seo Hyung is back on screen after a brief break in "Hide," where she takes on a much more sinister tone.

Her performance in such a psychologically ambitious role will come as exhilarating news for the new drama, especially as she's known for playing lighter types.

Go Yoon Jung

Go Yoon Jung is gaining fame for her portrayal in the movie "Moving." Recently, she played the role of a doctor in the drama "A Life of a Resident That Will Be Wise Someday."

Fans are drawn to her character's growth as a young doctor who is ready to make sacrifices during her training.

Her standout performance in "Hospital Playlist" further solidified her reputation as a talent to keep an eye on in the industry.

The remarkable performances in 2024 highlighted aspects of each star's talent and made it a year to remember for groundbreaking roles in Korea.
