Born in 1980,
Son Tae-Young was former Miss Korea before family commitments made her resign
to an actress’s role. Although often apart of the supporting cast, one of her
most noted roles is Lee Hye-Shin in the Korean drama “You’re the Best Lee Soon-Shin”.
Lee Hye-Shin is
the eldest daughter of the Lee family. Having grown up beautiful and the most
popular girl in school, she graduated from a top university and was going to
lead a prosperous career at a multinational company as a lawyer before she
married a man who was considered perfect – wealthy, handsome and from a
prominent family. Due to her husbands work, she moved from Korea to China to
become a mother and housewife.
Son Tae-Young’s
character, seems like a typical story about a perfect life however if it wasn’t
for her good life it wouldn’t reveal the complications that lie beneath such a
pretty story.
Throughout the
series, she continues to display her elegance and knowledge however this serves
to continuously remind the audience that she lost important opportunities
during her marriage. Lee Hye-Shin is a character that deals with accepting
failure and the pressure that comes with attaining perfection. It also deals
with the stereotypes of women supposedly being unable to be independent.
