Kim Jin Ni May 24 2025 1:45 pm I've been a fan of Kim Sun Ah since My Lovely Sam Soon, which I first watched when I was just 10 years old. Now that I’m the same age as Sam Soon in the series, my admiration for her hasn’t changed. Over the years, I’ve followed many of her movies and dramas, and she continues to impress me with her talent and charm. The chemistry between her and Hyun Bin in My Lovely Sam Soon was so natural and engaging—never awkward—despite his character being quite the red flag! I recently heard that the new version of Kim Sam Soon has been edited, especially cutting back Hyun Bin’s scenes, which is a bit disappointing. Still, I’m curious and looking forward to seeing it. I truly hope to see Kim Sun Ah in another drama soon. Kim Sun Ah-ssi, fighting!

lrt Feb 06 2025 2:47 pm Kim Sun-A has never been more perfectly beautiful than her role in My Name is Kim Sam Soon. She is an ace actress and I have seen that drama more than once. It was so popular a refurbished version was released in 2024. I have seen lots of her work but still loved her the most as the feisty baker Kim Sam Soon.

rhegs globe Jul 20 2023 1:21 am I love kim sun A, the best korean actress she is soooo beautiful elegant????

CS Nov 16 2022 9:41 pm My favorite Korean actress.. always will be. Hope to see more of her again.

martin fennell Jul 30 2022 6:20 pm One of the best actresses' anywhere. My favourite of hers is The City Hall.

Miriam Jun 02 2021 8:02 pm I have loved your role in Kim Sam soon and have been your follower since then. Been watching your shows consistently. Hope to see you pair up with hyun bin again. You both have dynamic chemistry. I love you and will always do. Take care.

moonsky Feb 03 2021 8:18 am The only korean actress that never fails to amaze me by her acting performance.She slays every character she portrays and doesn’t settle for playing the same role.Hence, every role she plays is always new and different.That’s why every time she stars in a new drama, you will be astounded and impressed as to how she’s able to shift her character flawlessly like from a cheerful character in her previous drama to a serious and emotional in her new one.Her acting prowess is remarkably superb and excellent.That’s why I admire her most.❤️?Other than her versatility in acting, I always find her so beautiful ,alluring and chic.

Lily Canna Jan 05 2021 6:54 am What is Kim Sun A working on now? Her next project?

SWN Dec 19 2020 9:52 am I really love her. She's so beautiful, charming and talented. Her works and performances never disappointed me ? I like many of her drama and will wait for her next drama.

True2u Dec 17 2020 9:12 am Even after first watching her in City Hall in 2009, she has continued to be my favorite actress! She's solid at her craft and a pleasure to watch. I just wish she would come out with more dramas soon. I need some Rom/Com dramas in my life from her.

MARIAN Aug 05 2020 10:16 am Love all of the roles she have played.One of my favorites females actors to watch.

Michiqo Jun 27 2020 8:31 am I like her a lot. One of my favorite actress. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

YUP Jun 25 2020 9:13 pm Kim Sun-A is a terrific actress. I wish more of her dramas were available here in USA!❤️❤️❤️

Otsukare13 Apr 29 2020 8:48 am She's one of the best actresses in korea. Able to pullnoff any role. She's not well known probably tonthe youngsters today, but she's one hella talented girl!

Cheering you on noona

Lj Apr 21 2020 6:34 am Sun Ah became my top favorite korean actress because of her excellent acting. She became my idol since My Lovely Sam Soon was aired in our country Philippines and became the highest rated asian drama in our country. I love her not just because she's good in acting but also her personality. She's so pretty, bubbly and cute. I can say she's also a kind and true person. Wish her the best!❤

Marjorie Sta.Maria Oct 24 2019 1:12 pm Excellent actress, the best and almost perfect human i know....i'm a fan forever?

sarah Oct 21 2019 11:10 pm i knew her in city hall. she was great there

Sunny Sep 20 2019 12:42 pm Why did she have to act in secret boutique? ? it was so intense? full of drama and making me headache to think what is going to be in the next ep. Btw I wish she would be acting besides popular actor. And I hope that drama would be popular. She is an actress indeed. I really want her to shine and to be known by other people. Asking my kpop friend, none of them knew her. They only know actor and actress from popular drama. so sad. ?

Molly Sep 12 2019 7:24 pm After watching children of nobody, she is one of the best actresses I've ever seen!

Jenny May 12 2019 10:59 am I loved her since Kim Sam Sun...The woman of Dignity/Lady In Dignity is now airing in our cable channel K+..I really loved her acting there...She really deserved an acting award "Best Actress"...

Sam Mendoza Mar 18 2019 7:18 pm I knew it!! While watching Children of Nobody, I said that I saw this woman before. And she look like Kim Sam Soon. She really is the same person hahahahah.

Samsoon Jan 17 2019 8:27 am I’ve loved her since Kim Samsoon days. Love her latest dramas “Should We Kiss First” and “Children of Nobody”. Excellent actress! She finally able to grab awards after so long! She showed her versatility and able to play all sorts of characters. Can’t wait to see her next drama.

Andra..❤ Dec 13 2018 9:24 am You're very amazing and one of my best korean women ....Much loveeee from Nigeria ..❤❤❤

lrt Oct 31 2018 4:11 pm She is the reason I fell in love with Korean dramas!!!! My Name is Kim Sam-Soon was so much fun to watch and the theme song years later keeps popping up in my head. Since then I have watched her in Night after Night and Should We Kiss First where she never disappoints. She is talented and absolutely gorgeous....but I think she looked her best as Kim Sam Soon. Loved loved her. One of the best.

Gasenadi May 10 2018 5:57 am Watching Kim Sun-A in Should We Kiss First felt like a longed-for family reunion. It felt sooo good seeing her unique wealth of facial expressions, like in City Hall. It was sooo satisfying to delight in her ample range of emotions. And it was especially gratifying to see her paired with a veteran actor worthy of her talents. I'm off to see Lady in Dignity, now than my fear of watching her in unworthy dramas has vanished. Saludos desde Puerto Rico!

Mia Mar 08 2018 5:10 pm She is phenomenon in Lady in dignity!

Yanyan Feb 10 2018 1:31 am Kim Sun Ah is talented, skilful and versatile. She is insightful in delivering her character roles with great interpretations and depth. She is top on my list of kdrama actors. Looking forward to yet another of her excellent works!

Akuryo Jun 17 2017 11:53 am One of my all time favourites. She is amazing in every role I watched (which is a lot :D )

Berry Mar 25 2017 3:03 am Unnie! I really love Kim Sam Soon, it's an iconic drama that gives hope to people who are having doubts & body issues that despite of that it is not a hindrance for someone to be happy and to reach for your dreams in life! You're one great actress in your generation and very versatile! <3

shin Oct 17 2015 1:45 pm the queen of korean drama...my sweet Unni saranghae kim sun ah

Moved a lot Oct 13 2015 9:18 pm Hello Miss Kim. Although I finished watching "My Name Is KSS" some time ago, one scene of yours returns to my thoughts once in a while.

Watching you plod along in French, a few words of English, then barrel on with abandon in Korean, while talking with Daniel is such a fabulous, real scene to me. Your scene reminds me so much of some of the amazing human beings who helped me when my family moved to new places. I learned from them two things : a) a new language; b) how to just see a human being, not a language barrier, or different food, clothes, facial features...; just human to human.

There is something about that scene that reminds me of the openness of children to anything, if only they see a smile.

Someone once spoke to me as you do to Daniel in that scene, and make me feel that I could overcome what seemed like insurmountable odds in adapting to a new world. Looking into another's eyes and speaking to them, even if they do not understand a word is grace to me, eloquence.

Thank you for reminding me of a moment of joy from my young, and little moments of my own courage while growing up in a family that moved a lot.

You are soooo funny. So funny. And the way that Daniel looks at you, as he struggles to understand what you are saying, is sooo sweet: it the expression of a child willing to be led, willing to cooperate, willing to learn from his fellow human being, everything.

Any mother who has watched her baby learn one new sound after another, knows how much is involved in learning a new language. Yours had sooooo many vowels, it scares the crap out of me. But, I am trying. My ear will get there. ....Wish Dramafever gave the option of displaying both English and Romanized-Hangul sub-titles.

I could hear the words, pause the video, read the English, then the Romanized-Hangul, and, eventually, choose to then display Hangul consonants.

It would also help me to better see the syntax...

En tous cas, pardonnez la tangeante. Merci encore pour une performance fort agréable à voir et à revoir. A fan in Canada

gracie Jul 17 2015 9:11 am I love this actress very much! Her talent and attitude, her wit and charm, these makes her excellent. Hoping for more beautiful drama again! many will support you, always, Count ME in.

Naenae Jun 15 2015 7:33 am Never been a fan in my entire life. Just now because of Sun a. I never get tired and get used to watching all your dramas and movies. I will still watch them again and again for the rest of my life. ^^

Pat K Oct 05 2013 11:44 am Have only just seen Sun A Kim in I do I do, and she plays her character stunningly. Very strong acting talent showing emotional depth with each situation whether funny or serious. Plus so physically beautiful as well. Am definitely watching any filming she does.

Tanglefoot Oct 02 2013 9:17 pm Kim Sun-ah's rating should be no less than 100%. She's perfect in every way and in her every role. In an industry bursting at the seams with incredible talent, she's right up there at the top. No "ifs", "ands", or "buts" about it...

Nur Sep 25 2013 6:31 am Can't wait ........miss u !;)

maureen Sep 23 2013 4:16 pm Kim Sun Ah really very truly talented. So beautiful and her acting so genuine. I wish her the best and I hope she will come out and do the drama again..... Love her.....

Michelle Colledge Aug 05 2013 4:03 pm Thank you for being so good at your job. Netflix did a great job adding Korean shows for US viewing. It has been a long time since I've been so emotionally invested in a character. I hope they continue the story of Scent of a Woman...something along the lines of she beats the cancer and they get to live a long full life would be nice.

fanesya Oct 12 2012 5:17 am waiting next your movie

Geoff Aug 17 2012 2:33 pm I have recently been watching Korean TV shows on Netflix. I find them to be so much more entertaining than TV shows here in the U.S.. The actresses are so much more realistic in their portrayal of their characters. This young lady, Kim Sun-A, is a stunning actress and her part was played flawlessly in my opinion. This was an unbelieveably fantastic show. How do you fall in love with someone you ahve never met or didn't even know existed.......I don't know, but I did!!! Talk about being jealous of the leading man in this show......damn.....

true2u Aug 06 2012 2:27 pm My #1 actress in the world. I LOVE ALL YOUR WORKS!!!!!!!!!!

sie_sunny Jun 30 2012 3:32 pm always love you sun ah eonnie :) may you always be happiness, healthy and longlifes take care and sleep well eonnie saranghe from indonesia :)

Marine Prince May 02 2012 5:52 pm This is the best korean actress ever!!! I love all her dramas, but City Hall is my favorite! BELLO, BELLO, BELLO. BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFIL. BEST WISHES FROM PUERTO RICO!

non cantye Mar 06 2012 6:43 am luv u kim sun ah,,, miss your acting

Gasenadi Feb 19 2012 6:09 am The BEST pairing for this marvelous actress was with the MAN in City Hall (Cha Seung Won)! My grandsons know the theme song by heart, we play it everyday (Youtube) and they know exactly where she falls down from the scaffolding! LOL. She's excellent in anything she does, but pairing her with eye candy that can't even grow beards yet, irks the heck out of me! In Scent of a Woman, I even rooted for the Doctor. Anyway, Kim Sun Ah, you deserve the very best in your profession and in life. Many blessings desde Puerto Rico.

Mae-Mae Dec 17 2011 9:11 pm I really love ho you acted in your film, Scent of a woman. You break my heart into pieces everytime you, and Lee Dong Wook cry. -I'm one of your fans here in Phllippines:D More powers to you unnie!:D

SisterB Nov 19 2011 5:07 pm Love you!! I have enjoyed everything that I have watched with her in it! Looking forward to finally getting to see Scent of a Woman in the future. I liked the music of I am legend but I also know I would have loved it with Kim Sun Ai in it.

kunyu Nov 07 2011 6:35 pm kim sun ah u are my fav female actor... im really love when you are with rain (bi) during TANGO.. it wil be more nicer if both of u will be together in drama.. i hope so.. a funny drama .... fighting kim sun ah and will be getting married later... heheheh
