2. It takes a good director to figure it out, about how subtlety can communicate

louder than words.

I think Seo Ye-Ji is ready to branch out internationally. Certainly there was evidence of that, showcasing her impeccable Spanish accent. I want to say Catalan, but not sure. Definitely heard a lot of zeta, (thetas) I definitely think that the Spanish audience is going to adore her.

I have been thinking about the American audience. Not sure how that will go.

She has a past controversy, that by American standards, won't matter in the long run, IMO. Apparently she was dating the supporting actor from Crash Landing on you, and she became possessive about his love scenes in another project. In a presser he is seen ignoring his co-star's attempt to grab his arm for a photo-op. He would later claim that he was suffering from depression and an eating disorder and his agent forced him into a presser he wasn't ready for. (I wonder how many of these lithe Asian actors are dealing with the same issue?)

Seo Ye-Ji for her part would later come out and apologize, claiming she acted immaturely. I can certainly understand that. Girl gets shot into stardom with It's Okay to Not be Okay, suddenly dating a very popular male actor and IF she tried to control his love scenes, it was probably hatched out of insecurity. I hope she's learned her lesson and come out of it with a better awareness of the impact she can have on people around her. She stayed out of show-biz for a year, and Eve was her comeback.

I suspect the movie industry has only scratched the surface of her acting chops.
