1. “River Where the Moon Rises”
Kim So Hyun’s recent drama role was none other than Pyeonggang in “River Where the Moon Rises.” Raised as a fierce soldier and a composed princess, Pyeonggang has big dreams and will do anything to achieve them. Her careful and precise planning is turned upside down when she meets On Dal (Na In Woo), the calm amongst the storm. Pyeonggang’s battle to become empress means she must face challenges that test her strength and her brains. And Kim So Hyun’s portrayal of Pyeonggang’s charismatic and purposeful nature has impressed fans. To top it off, she also took on the role of Queen Yeon, her mother! Is there anything she can’t do?

2. “The Tale of Nokdu”
When a young heir Jeon Nok Du (Jang Dong Yoon) is ambushed by female assassins, his attempt to hide leads him to a village full of widows. Forced to go undercover as a woman to fit in, he meets the interesting Dong Dong Ju (Kim So Hyun). In contrast to her role in “River Where the Moon Rises,” Kim So Hyun is much less the fighting warrior and more of the quirky, friendly type.
The two strike up a quick friendship, and Nok Du discovers he’s not the only one with a big secret. Dong Ju is also in hiding as she ran away from a gisaeng apprenticeship! Despite her best efforts, she just can’t perform the artistic skills needed to succeed. As their friendship grows, new feelings blossom between the two, and soon everything becomes that much more complicated!
Kim So Hyun’s portrayal of Dong Ju gives fans a different vibe from other roles she’s taken in the past. She’s super sweet but self-assured, and shows that she definitely belongs in period dramas!

Kang Ye Rim (Kim So Hyun) has the perfect school life, or so she thinks. Ye Rim can’t quite explain it, but she knows there’s something weird going on with her teacher Han Bong Goo (Uhm Ki Joon) and the rest of her fellow classmates.

She knows it’s up to her to solve the mystery sweeping her classmates before it’s too late.

6. “Who Are You: School 2015”
Kim So Hyun takes on not just one but two roles in “Who Are You: School 2015”! Starring as identical twins Go Eun Byul and Lee Eun Bi, her talent is not to be missed. The orphaned twins are separated at a young age, with Eun Byul being adopted into a caring family. Eun Bi, however, is left at the orphanage, suffers bullying at school, and struggles throughout her life.
Although they look exactly alike, their personalities are far from the same! Eun Byul is friendly while Eun Bi is reserved and less welcoming. Eun Byul is completely unaware of Eun Bi’s existence until a tragic turn of events leads to Eun Bi being mistaken for Eun Byul. Whisked into a brand new life of family and school friends, Eun Bi must now try and survive a life she’s never known without being found out.
Kim So Hyun’s acting knows no bounds. She took on the mammoth task of two roles and absolutely nailed it! You can see the clear distinction between the identical twins that you almost forget they are both played by the same actress. Kim So Hyun is definitely an actress with wonderful acting abilities!
