My Note: Shinhye was a very well known artist with the success of her drama "You're beautiful" in China but with the success and popularity of the two successive dramas in the past two years..."The Heirs" and "Pinocchio" has catapulted her in the bracket of top artists as can be seen from this post above. From TOH to YB to The Heirs and finally Pinocchio ....one can clearly see her progress from a promising actress to an A- Lister.........An actress who can draw an audience just by virtue of her name.......
This is by no means the end of her success story. I look in anticipation to what next we will see in the future of this shining star.....Park Shin Hye! ...
