}} Lee Bo-young (born January 12, 1979) is a South Korean actress. She is best known for starring in the television dramas ''My Daughter Seo-young'' (2012) and ''I Can Hear Your Voice'' (2013). ==Career== Lee Bo-young won the Miss Korea beauty pageant in Daejeon and the surrounding South Chungcheong Province in 2000. Having majored in Korean literature at Seoul Women's University, she originally dreamed of becoming a news presenter. She was one of 15 finalists in MBC's annual recruitment drive in 2002, but ended up not getting the job.〔 Instead, she turned to modeling, and was chosen as the exclusive advertising model for Asiana Airlines, considered a gateway to stardom. Lee made her acting debut in 2003, and among her early roles was in ''People of the Water Flower Village'' (2004) opposite Song Il-gook, and as the antagonist in ''Save the Last Dance for Me'' (2004). In 2005, Lee played her first leading role in the daily drama ''My Sweetheart, My Darling'', followed by the Silla-set historical epic ''Ballad of Seodong'' with Jo Hyun-jae. She spent the next several years in television dramas — ''Mr. Goodbye'' with Ahn Jae-wook, ''Queen of the Game'' with Joo Jin-mo, and ''Becoming a Billionaire'' (also known as ''Birth of the Rich'') with Ji Hyun-woo — but none struck a chord with audiences or critics. After playing the love interest in ''My Brother'' (2004) and ''A Dirty Carnival'' (2006), Lee was cast in her first major big screen role in ''Once Upon a Time'' (2008). The heist comedy is set during colonial rule in the 1940s, and she and Park Yong-woo played notorious swindlers out to steal a diamond from the Japanese army. Her two films released in 2009 were both melodramas. In ''More Than Blue'' (also known as ''A Story Sadder Than Sadness''), Kwon Sang-woo played a terminally ill man who selflessly marries off his soulmate (Lee) to an eligible doctor (Lee Beom-soo), but the tragedy is undercut with a poetic sparseness. While in the ironically titled ''I Am Happy'', Lee played a nurse who falls for a patient in the psychiatric ward (Hyun Bin), and in each other they find consolation to see them through their harsh and miserable reality. Lee returned to television in 2010, playing a seductress in the quirky cable drama ''Harvest Villa'' opposite Shin Ha-kyun. She then had a guest arc as the president's daughter on spy series ''Athena: Goddess of War'', followed by post-divorce romance ''Hooray for Love'' (also known as ''A Thousand Affections'', 2011) with Lee Tae-sung, and revenge drama ''Man from the Equator'' (2012) with Uhm Tae-woong. She then played the titular character in ''My Daughter Seo-young'', a career woman who is angry at her father (Chun Ho-jin), whose gambling addiction led to her mother's death, yet she struggles to keep the family together and make ends meet. Lee said playing Seo-young required a greater depth of emotion than any of her previous roles, which left her drained but also feeling a greater sense of achievement. The family drama was the biggest hit yet of Lee's career; it dominated the weekly ratings chart for 22 straight weeks, and recorded a series high of 47.6% on its last episode, the highest Korean drama rating in 2013. Her follow-up series ''I Can Hear Your Voice'' (2013) was also popular during its run. In it, Lee played a materialistic public defender who testified on behalf of a boy with supernatural abilities (Lee Jong-suk) a decade ago after she witnessed the boy's father being murdered. Critics said with her stubborn and argumentative character, Lee was able to break free of her previous calm and elegant image. She won several awards for her performance, including the Daesang ("Grand Prize"), the highest honor at the SBS Drama Awards. In 2014, Lee played a mother who travels back in time two weeks before her daughter's kidnapping and murder in ''God's Gift - 14 Days''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lee Bo-young」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
