Birthplace:
Bucheon, South Korea

Born:
November 24, 1985

She has positive energy that allows her to smile her way out of any troubles in the world. She made her name as an actress starring as a daughter of an womanizing editor in Jealousy ls My Middle Name. Rather than being a shining star, KIM has developed her acting career by winning awards for her roles in independent movies. She broadened her acting spectrum by portraying young Jung-hye in This Charming Girl, a razor-wielding high school girl in The City of Violence, a young girl named Sodan in Midnight Ballad for Ghost Theater, whose fresh smile brightened up gloomy ghosts in a run-down theater. KIM showed off her acting potential in Breathless directed by YANG Ik-june. The movie has received Rotterdam Tiger Award, the best film awards, best actor and actress awards from international film festivals. She portrayed a girl who warmed up to a creepy violent thug with deep inner suffering. She played a lesbian girl Ashamed selected to the Panorama section in Berlin Film Festival 2011. She starred as a girl who met a new world during her travel with a Japanese woman in Magic & Loss directed by a Malaysian director LIM Kahwai. KIM next appeared in the indies The Sunshine Boys and the well-regarded Pluto, which both debuted at the Busan International Film Festival in 2012. KIM returned to Japan for a trio of films in 2013/14, A Pale Woman, It’s a Beautiful Day and A Record of Sweet Murder. In 2014, KIM also appeared in a supporting role in the period action film Kundo: Age of the Rampant and was also the lead in the indie film The Liar, which debuted at the Busan International Film Festival.

About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
