Sometimes all it takes is one performance to change my opinion of an actor or actress. Kim Tae Hee did just that in My Princess. It was the most comfortable and honest performance I’ve ever seen from her, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. It won’t wash away her stinker performances of the past, but it makes me look forward instead with a curious eye to see how she continues to grow her craft. I’ve always found Kim Tae Hee to be a winning print model, and her photo shoot for the May edition of Bazaar magazine is just wonderful. Sleek and sexy, she captures both a beachy and a sophisticated vibe.

Kim Tae Hee doesn’t have any confirmed projects lined up, but she has expressed an interest in participating future opportunities in Japan as well.
