Career
Seo Woo first became known to the public as the oddball 4D Girl in the popular "Ok me wa ka" commercial for a Lotte ice cream brand. After her debut in a supporting role the 2007 film My Son, she successfully auditioned for a part in the sitcom Kimchi Cheese Smile.
The following year, her breakout role came in the critically lauded black comedy Crush and Blush for which she received considerable attention and numerous awards.[4][5] In 2009 Seo Woo took on the lead role in the cult favorite Tamra, the Island, a period drama set on Jeju Island.[6][7] She then contributed her vocals to "My Fair Lady," one of the tracks in Lee Seung-hwan's 20th anniversary album Hwantastic Friends.
Seo Woo continued to challenge herself, delivering a much-praised turn in arthouse film Paju,[8][9][10] and landing a role opposite celebrated actress Jeon Do-yeon in The Housemaid, which screened in competition at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival.[11][12]
She and Moon Geun-young played siblings in the popular modern fairytale retelling Cinderella's Sister,[13][14][15][16] but Seo Woo later said she considers it her worst performance, despite being the character she worked hardest on.[17] Afterwards she played a complex character in the critically lauded melodrama Flames of Desire.[18]
In the family drama If Tomorrow Comes she played a cheerful daughter to veteran actress Go Doo-shim.[19][20] She next portrayed a calm yet brave art major in the fantasy-horror TV movie Knock, about a magical mask passed down in a shaman family.[21][22]
From 2013 to 2014, she played a Baekje-era femme fatale in the daily period drama The King's Daughter, Soo Baek-hyang.[23][24]
