Gong Hyo Jin has not always played comedies. Early on in her career, she earned praise for acting some tough roles, including a tough schoolgirl in "Conduct Zero," an angry daughter in "Family Ties," and a determined single mother in the drama "Thank You."

She earned a reputation as a serious film actress paying the anti-heroine in the 2008 film "Crush and Blush" and her portrayal won her numerous acting awards. Then she tried comedy. Her comedic skills earned excellent ratings and praise from her co-stars.

"Since we have worked together, I now know that she's the greatest actress for romantic comedy," said So Ji Sub, her co-star in the upcoming drama "The Master's Sun." "She can pull off anything and she improves my acting too."

The actress first tried to her hand at comedy in 2010 when she played an aspiring chef in the drama "Pasta" with Lee Sun Kyun. Although the character she played was supposed to be bold, she chose to interpret the role differently. Her portrayal as a meek yet determined chef made her very likeable and delivered good ratings for the comedy.
