Set Korean drama record for winning Best Screen Couple Awards

Then made her first movie debut with Lee Min Ho for her first screen in supporting role as Lee Eun Shil in teen movie "My School's E.T". Although she could transcend both teen characters differently, but she only received attention when she acted as kisaeng Jeong Hyang in The Painter of the Wind. Although her character Jeong Hyang was just a small supporting actress role, and it was only her first ancient drama and 2 tv drama in her acting career. Yet her beauty and charisma charmed the TV viewers. she played a beautiful gisaeng who falls for Moon Geun-young, who passes herself of as a man. Her partnership with Moon Geun-young as screen lover was so appealing until they both won the record winning SBS 2008 Best Screen Couple Awards by most popular vote. For the first in Korean drama history, two actress for their lesbian love became the Best Screen Couple, and it was quite an accomplishment for a young actress in her beginning career.

Career Turning Point in 2010

The following year, Moon performed as the privileged Yoo Seung Mi in popular Korean drama Brilliant Legacy and the girl-next-door, where she was bright and energetic Yeo Ui Joo in Take Care of the Young Lady. Then her acting career suddenly received a slow down, for almost 8 months she did not received any works, her only break was less than one episode appearance in “Road Number One” as an army medical doctor Min Young Jin, though only a short part, yet, she remain her excellent acting standard.
In early September 2010, Moon Chae Won received the turning point of her career. On an more than 2 months International internet voting Moon Chae Won with her supporting role in Brilliant Legacy won the highest popular vote of 71,294 among all nominated actress in Asia. Her majority vote doubled the lead actress in Brilliant Legacy. It was the first time, a supporting actress won such an honour in film industry. Moon Chae Won thus received attention from the film industry.
She was then invited by famous film agency Barunson Entertainment to join their group in October 2010. Immediately Moon Chae Won was given the lead role in It's Okay, Daddy's Girl. as Eun Chae Ryung.Super Junior’s Donghae as the lead’s younger brother, who works multiple jobs to keep his family afloat; and CN Blue’s Kang Min-hyuk, who plays a delivery boy and drummer in a band. In "It’s Okay, Daddy’s Girl", Moon Chae-won plays someone very different from those previous characters; Moon can seem mature for her age (she’s 25), but her character Chae-ryung is completely immature. (At least, at the start of the drama.) Chae-ryung is the type of girl who has her daddy wrapped around her little finger, and who’s not above whining and pouting because she wants a designer handbag, like a young child. Then transcend her character to mature professional woman in later stage of the drama after her family faced tragic. Her role was appealing until when the drama was half way aired Moon Chae Won received nomination as Best Actress for SBS Drama Awards

  1. I disagree that you said "For the first in Korean drama history, two actress for their lesbian love became the Best Screen Couple,"?
    Jeong Hyang loves the painter Shin Yoon Bok (MGY) as a man, she didn't know that Yoon BOk was a woman, and almost did suicide after Yoon BOk was forced by situation to tell her the secret.
    And Shin Yoon Bok (MGY) has a self-image as a boy/male since she was raised as a boy since 8 years old, in Korea boys and girls are separated since they were 7 years old. SYB said she didn't know anything about being a woman ! (Except that she has breasts and has menstruation )
    So it's not truly a lesbian love like you said. Better said it's a misplaced love between a transgender and a woman, as the woman loves YB as being a man, NOT as being a woman !! Don't forget that all the people around including the King and Queen and teachers etc all thought of Yoon Bok as a male, it's natural to her as a peron being raised as a boy ! For us viewers especialy MGY played her role very well as not seeming feminine at all !!
