Any core fans here? ✌🏻 It is worth reaching out to PEACHY Company about her IG. Following 6,400+ accounts is ruining her algorithmic reach and slowing her engagement growth compared to other actresses. 📉 Her agency needs to step in, audit the settings, or talk to Meta to fix it. Everyone knows she doesn't do cheap stunts for popularity, but she needs a higher level of professionalism for her career. Even today, she is still following back random fan accounts—why is she doing this? 🧐🙂 PEACHY Company should clear her following list to zero or start a completely fresh IG account with zero following to reset the algorithm and protect her brand. 🔄
I don't know. I'm patiently waiting for her new projects. Maybe it will be worth the wait. I really hope so.
The Korean industry has many trending actresses with huge projects, but I'm still rooting for her. I don't want to shift my favorite actress to those trending actresses because I'm really attached to her works and almost everything about her.
Sometimes I feel that some production companies, actors, and directors use her for safe marketing. I want to see her enter a new prime era like she had in 2021.
Maybe she suffered a lot mentally and physically during River Where the Moon Rises. As a girl, I can feel how heavy that situation must have been. Just imagine being only 20 or 21 years old and facing all of that. It's unbelievable.
Maybe that's why she started taking lighter romance dramas. New K-drama fans don't really know her well, so I don't understand why they hate her.
She slowed down her career, but if she takes a high-level project again, I think she can surpass everyone. Her acting depth is that strong.
Even while watching My Lovely Liar, I realized that her acting ability is actually very high, even if the drama itself was lighter.
I hope that if there is a Season 2 of Good Boy, she will reject it 🙂. I don't know... the industry has a lot of competition. Sometimes I wonder why she is helping other actors level up more than herself. I really want her to choose projects that highlight her own talent and acting depth more strongly.
I also think the backlash from Love Alarm and Good Boy affected her a lot. Maybe those experiences influenced the way she chooses projects now.
If people really want to understand the story and emotions in her dramas, they should focus more on her acting rather than only on the male leads. Then they can truly see the realism and emotional depth she brings to her characters.
Everyone is talking about second lead syndrome. When I finished this series a few weeks ago, I didn’t feel any second lead syndrome. I liked this drama. I like the main leads. The acting caliber of hers 😳 She is superb.
Usually when actors or actresses post photos, their Instagram followers increase. But in Kim So-hyun’s case, her followers dropped from around 13.7M in early 2026 to 13.4M now. What could be the reason? Maybe her account is quite old (since around 2014), so many inactive followers are being removed by Instagram.🙃🤔
I truly, deeply hope Kim So-hyun attends Baeksang and ASEA this year. 💕🌷 Seeing her at award ceremonies always gives me so much happiness, and I miss those shining prime-time moments with all my heart. No matter what, I will always love and support her endlessly, because she deserves to be seen, celebrated, and loved forever✨🤍
I really feel Kim So-hyun deserved more from Good Boy 🥺✨ She trained for months and showed a stronger action side, but the pacing and writing did not fully reward her effort. Many people called her romance scenes boring or expressionless, yet I think that came from the way Ji Han-na was written as a restrained character, not from her acting 🎭. Honestly, this concept might have worked better as a movie than a drama 🎬 because the story felt stretched. I also feel the pairing with Park Bo-gum brought unnecessary comparisons and negativity from some fans 😕, while the project itself did not give her the kind of career-best return she truly deserved 💔.
To the haters on this page: the choice is yours, but the facts remain. You claim she "spoils" works, but which drama did she actually spoil? People blame her for the writing of Love Alarm Season 2 or the "cold" characters in her recent goodboy kdrama, but those are the writer’s choices, not hers; she is a professional who delivers exactly what the script asks for. Everyone knows actresses are more popular now because they work with Netflix, but trends come and go, and you have to ask yourself why a legendary director like Ahn Pan-seok chose her for Love Doctor if she lacked "caliber." He chose her because he knows she can handle a complex, high-pressure lead role, and people forget she is one of the youngest in history to receive a Baeksang Best Actress nomination at 21, earned after the River Where the Moon Rises crisis, where she reshot almost the entire drama without extra pay to save the production and her colleagues. She lost her father at 9, and unlike many of your favorite child actresses, she has faced immense hardships in life. For most of her journey, her mother has been her pillar of support. During River Where the Moon Rises, she even considered quitting acting, but the people around her especially her mother helped her persevere. From her teen years to adulthood, she has balanced personal loss, a demanding career, and family responsibilities, proving that at 20–21 she had plenty of time and talent to fully show her caliber. Maybe some viewers are used to actors doing excessive kiss scenes or overly romantic dramasbut she hasn’t. If you hated Love Alarm, that’s on you, not her; you may have found her other works boring because you compare them unfairly. The Korean entertainment industry is high-pressure,we all know that,but she lives her own life and makes her own choices. Some haters suggest she should follow someone like Kim Yoo-jung, but why? Kim Yoo-jung has her own caliber, and Kim So-hyun has hers. In fact, she has openly said that she and Kim Yoo-jung are friends. They are walking different paths, and during Kim Yoo-jung’s difficult times, she openly supported her. Then why the hate? Others say “another actress would be better for White Scandal”—but the director chooses, not you. Give her time and respect her process. Despite all the hate online, she doesn’t chase trends or popularity—she doesn’t post constant social media photos to gain attention. She only becomes popular through her work, and after a project she often disappears from the spotlight. She is not on the top list of Google searches, and she has openly admitted in the past that she is “silly” about fame. Compared to many actresses, she lives her life on her own terms. As a child and teen she was extremely busy with work, but now she is very selective and avoids aggressive projects. Some people say she’s “not beautiful,” but that’s absurd. She is elegant, very beautiful, and a genuinely good person. She’s also rare in that she follows her own fans back, which shows she doesn’t have a celebrity ego. If she cared about status or fame, she wouldn’t do that. She doesn’t worry about who unfollows her. I personally don’t follow idols or actors on social media, and I usually don’t like following them at all—but I followed her on Instagram for at least two months. The overhype around other actors and the excessive criticism directed at her actually made me appreciate her even more. I like all actors and their work, and my first dramas were Chinese, not Korean,but now I enjoy almost all Korean dramas, especially Kim So-hyun’s work. She isn’t competing with anyone; she’s walking her own path. Let her show her mature Top Starside in White Scandal. And one question for the extreme haters—just tell us: which drama did she actually spoil? 😡 If you want to hate, go ahead—but her talent, resilience, and independence speak for themselves.✌🏻
Why do people hate her so much? Is it just because of her kiss scenes? What kind of kiss scenes do they even expect? If we start hating an actress because of one drama, we might end up feeling that all her other dramas are boring too. She doesn’t usually do overly romantic dramas. Yet people seem to criticize her more than anyone else. Why? She is a truly talented actress. ✌🏻 I’m really looking forward to her upcoming drama. I’m sure it will be great. Hate will always exist, but it doesn’t matter. I believe she is entering her second prime. 😉

Calling her boring is just your opinion. For me, she is one of the best and most talented actresses. If you watch River Where the Moon Rises, you can see how she carried the entire drama with her acting. She doesn’t rely on overly romantic scenes to get attention, but her performances are always natural and strong. Just watch The Tale of Nokdu, My Lovely Liar, and Serendipity’s Embrace. She lives inside the character and makes every role believable. And in School 2015, she played two completely different characters with deep emotional layers. Showing that kind of character depth in the same drama is not easy, but she did it very well. Some people criticize Good Boy because it is a male-centric drama and her role was smaller. But that was the nature of the story. She accepted it professionally and still delivered a good performance. I also believe she usually prefers strong and meaningful roles rather than typical male-centric ones. If she wasn’t a good actress, why would a respected director like Ahn Pan-seok choose her for Love Doctor? He could easily choose other trendy actresses, but he chose talent. She is not only a talented actress but also known as a kind and humble person. In my opinion, she has a calm and elegant acting style that even gives me vibes similar to Son Ye-jin. That’s why many people respect her acting.
I saw many people say they dropped it after the first episode, but for me Lovely Liar is a really healthy and comforting drama. It’s better not to binge all 16 episodes in one day—watching 1–3 episodes a day and waiting with curiosity for the next episodes makes the experience even better 😊✨ Sso(Kim So-hyun) is my favorite actress, and she was amazing as always 😘🌸. The male lead’s acting also becomes much better after the second phase of the story 👍 Don’t expect overly dramatic or overly high romance like some hyped dramas. This is more of a calm, green-flag, healing relationship 💚 It’s a drama you should watch slowly, like eating your favorite sweet or comfort food little by little and enjoying the taste 🍬🍲 Maybe it’s not for everyone, but I really enjoyed the peaceful vibe of Lovely Liar 🌼
My honest opinion 🤍 Some people still criticize her because of early roles or Love Alarm, but that’s unfair the writing isn’t her fault. She grew up acting from child, teen, adult, lost her father young, and shared that she missed much of her childhood. That shaped her into a quiet, thoughtful actress.🥺 Some dislike her child villain roles, but I see that as a compliment, she portrayed those characters so well they left a strong impression. 😌Her acting may seem “quiet,” but it has depth. That’s exactly why Ahn Pan-seok, a director known for realistic, emotional storytelling, chose her over other young actresses. He doesn’t choose actors for popularity, trends, or only beauty, but for sincerity, subtle emotion, and strong presence. Even in Good Boy, she delivered professionally despite less promotion. She doesn’t chase trends or attention, and that makes her work stand on its own. In my opinion, if she had taken a recent dark, morally complex drama, it would have been even better more intense, more emotional, and more haunting and the drama could have gained strong attention without relying on hype. I admire her not only for beauty, but for talent, versatility, and quiet strength 🤍✨ She deserves serious projects that show her full range, and I’m waiting for the moment when more people finally recognize her value.
Is Romance Expert currently Kim So-hyun’s only confirmed upcoming drama? I’m curious if there are any news or rumors. I haven’t seen any myself. She really deserves award-worthy projects and multiple quality works in a year 🥺 Anyone know?
only small amount gets on Netfix and it also depends on which station the drama is from, as Netflix has contracts…
I just mean that she deserves better than how Netflix has treated her lately. They used her to grow their brand, but they don’t give her the same energy back. She’s already a proven actress who worked her way up from playing villains to lead heroines, yet many global fans only know her from Love Alarm and send her so much undeserved hate because of it. It’s unfair, because she has so much talent that people haven’t truly seen yet. Meanwhile, Netflix is giving other actresses and actors multiple projects, and she deserves that too. 🙂
It’s honestly frustrating how Netflix keeps pushing only trendy faces while ignoring a 17-year veteran like Kim So-hyun. She literally helped build Netflix Korea’s global reach with Love Alarm, yet now it feels like they treated her as a bridge they crossed and then burned. Netflix keeps over favoring others, giving them endless promotions and opportunities, while giving her nothing in return. She’s taken for granted because she’s a true professional a good girl who avoids scandals and never creates noise. What hurts more is that some so-called fans still hate on her because of Love Alarm, blaming her for things that were never her fault. After 17 years of dedication, strong performances, and carrying projects with sincerity, she deserves respect, meaningful projects, and recognition not neglect and unfair criticism.🥺🙂
