Moon Chae-won

Moon Chae-won stands out as one of the few actresses who successfully bridged the gap between historical epics and modern medical thrillers. Her performance in War of the Arrows helped drive the film to sell over 11 million tickets, a rare feat for a period piece. Critics and audiences alike have praised her ability to carry heavy dramatic loads, particularly in Flower of Evil, where her nuanced portrayal of a wife uncovering a dark secret became a cultural touchstone in 2020.
