2011 marked a turning point for YOO Da-in when she starred in the film <Re-Encounter>. She had received brief spotlight three years ago after appearing in a canned coffee commercial looking pure and innocent, but unfortunately YOO failed short of encountering films to help accelerate her fame. It looked like her lead role in <Mandate> was going to do the job since it also starred JAE Hee, a rising star at the time. However, the film quietly bombed at the box office and so did YOO. But a new chapter has started for the 27 year-old in 2011. She showed her true value in <Re-encounter>. There were many close-up shots to capture the complex emotions her character was going through. This is where YOO’s delicate acting comes alive. With only restrained facial expressions, YOO showed how Hye-hwa, a girl who had shut herself down after getting being heartbroken, carefully tried to reconcile with the world. YOO’s detailed emotions were consistent in last year’s <The Client>. In 2012, she appeared in the high concept comedy <Over My Dead Body> as well as <Almost Che>. She then stretched herself out into action for her role in the late 2013 North Korean spy thriller <The Suspect>.Less
