The rising star Kim Hye-yoon has been receiving high praise from her junior actress for her striking resemblance to a young Shim Eun-ha. Her journey to success began when she won the Rising Star Award at the New York Asian Film Festival for her first lead role in the 2022 film “Girl on the Bulldozer.”Since then, she has been sweeping the Rookie of the Year awards at the Blue Dragon Film Awards and other prestigious ceremonies in the film industry.
Currently, she is making appearances on tvN’s “Lovely Runner,”a show that tells the story of a time-traveling romance between Ryu Seon-jae (played by Byun Woo-seok), an entertainer who gave her the strength to keep going, and Im Sol (played by Kim Hye-yoon), a devoted fan who was devastated by his passing.
“The romantic plotline involving a famous idol and its setting in 2008, reminiscent of the idol fan culture during that era, has made “Lovely Runner”a beloved show among Gen Z female viewers.”
Central to the passionate reaction is Kim Hye-yoon’s depiction of Im Sol. Her performance has been lauded for driving the drama, as she had previously garnered recognition for her portrayal of Kang Ye-seo, the daughter of Han Seo-jin (played by Yeom Jung-ah) and Kang Joon-sang (played by Jung Jun-ho) in JTBC’s “SKY Castle.”
In spite of her affluent background and exceptional intelligence, Kim Hye-yoon delivered a remarkable performance as Kang Ye-seo – a high-achieving student with flaws – that left a lasting impact on the audience.
During an interview, Kang Ho-dong expressed his admiration for Kim Hye-yoon’s acting in the drama “SKY Castle.”He even admitted that her performance was so convincing that it made him stop watching the show. Furthermore, her co-star, Kim Seo-hyung, also complimented her acting skills, stating that she bears a striking resemblance to Shim Eun-ha in person.
Indeed, several netizens have pointed out parallels between Kim Hye-yoon and Shim Eun-ha during her prime, crediting this to more than just their looks but also their remarkable talent in acting.
After her successful role in “SKY Castle,”Kim Hye-yoon continued to portray high school students in different dramas such as “Extraordinary You”and “Secret Royal Inspector & Joy.”In her latest project, “Lovely Runner,”she displays her versatility by seamlessly transitioning between playing a teenager and a woman in her thirties.
In a recent statement, critic Jung Deok-hyun lauded Kim Hye-yoon, stating that her portrayal of a character with constantly shifting emotions in a school uniform exudes a powerful acting charm. He compared her performance to a thrilling roller coaster ride and commended her convincingly realistic portrayal.
Lee Si-eun, the writer of “Lovely Runner,”had envisioned Kim Hye-yoon as Im Sol while writing and she has surpassed all expectations with her outstanding performance, earning immense love and support from both the writer and staff.
