Jeon Mi-do made her acting debut in the musical Mr. Mouse in 2006. She made her television debut in the 2018 series Mother in which she played a minor role. The following year, she made her big-screen debut in the fantasy film Metamorphosis. Jeon landed her first lead role in a television series with the medical drama Hospital Playlist. When she first auditioned, she thought it was to play one of the patients but director Shin Won-ho told her he was considering her for the lead role. During an interview, director Shin said that "Although we make the character, we felt she was destined to play Song-hwa." Her performance earned her a nomination for Best New Actress in the television category at the 56th Baeksang Arts Awards.
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:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
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.
