Biography from TheMovieDB

Song Hye-kyo (born November 22, 1981) is a South Korean actress whose leading television dramas have consistently become both national and international sensations. She starred Autumn in My Heart (2000), which captivated audiences across Asia, and made her a household name at age 19. Song quickly solidified her star power with high-stakes gambling drama, All In (2003), and the mega-hit, romantic-comedy Full House (2004). That Winter, the Wind Blows (2013) earned critical acclaim for her portrayal of a blind heiress, while Descendants of the Sun (2016) became a monumental success with a peak viewership rating of 41.6% in South Korea and in Asia, where it was viewed 2.5 billion times.  Throughout her career, Song has won numerous prestigious acting awards, including multiple Grand Prizes (Daesang), the highest honor in Korean television.  In 2023, Song took on her first-ever revenge thriller in The Glory, a role that earned her both critical and commercial success. The Glory became a global phenomenon, hitting No. 1 on global streaming charts and solidifying its place as one of the year’s most-watched shows. Her portrayal of a complex, vengeful character earned her the prestigious Best Actress award at the Baeksang Arts Awards. Through her work, Song has solidified her legacy as a trailblazer in the Korean Wave (Hallyu), setting the stage for the worldwide success of K-dramas today.

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.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
