Debuted in 1998, BAE Doo-na embodied an eccentric youth in her early works <Barking Dogs Never Bite> and <Take Care of My Cat>. In <Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance> directed by PARK Chan-wook, BAE played a quirky girl prompting Ryu, her boyfriend(SHIN Ha-kyun), to kidnap a child. She tore across the screen as an Olympic competent archer desperately fighting against the monster in BONG Joon-ho’s film, <The Host>, adding “action star” to her professional repertoire. Her acting career goes beyond the border. She has taken on a number of indie projects in Japan such as <Linda Linda Linda>, a story of a Japanese high school band, and <Air Doll>, a story about a life size “air doll” suddenly developing human’s feelings. After working on a couple of TV dramas, BAE teamed up with HA Ji-won for the ping-pong drama <As One> in 2012, after which she took on her first Hollywood part in the Wachowski siblings’ sci-fi opus <Cloud Atlas> in which she played multiple roles. In 2014, BAE took on a leading role in the indie <A Girl at My Door>, which was screened at Cannes and for which she received much acclaim. Next for her was another pair of collaborations with the Wachowskis, their space opera <Jupiter Ascending> and their TV series <Sense8>, which partly shot in Korea, both released in 2015.Less
