There’s not much in the English-speaking media about K-drama veteran Kim Mi-kyung and yet you would be hard-pressed to find a K-drama fan who DOESN’T know her. With more than 70 dramas and almost 30 years of experience under her belt, Kim Mi-kyung can rightfully let her work do the talking for her. She debuted in the 1993 drama Love is Helpless and has released at least one drama a year without fail since 2002.

Younger audiences will recognize her playing supporting roles in such fan favorites as Healer (2014), where she plays an eccentric hacker and It’s Okay, That’s Love (2014), where she plays a woman having a longtime affair.
