I FEEL THAT IT'S GOOD FOR PEOPLE to have a tryst with acting since it's a process that involves impersonating images of life imitating just about everything that's happening around us. Let's take the example of Mun Ka-young. In 2006, Mun started working as a 10-year-old child actress. She must have had a steep learning curve and an opportunity to hone her performing abilities as well as express herself. In all likelihood, the dominant factor in Mun's evolution as an actor was her aptitude to portray diverse people and emotions early in life. Now, at 26, she is no longer just another beautiful South Korean actress; she has played some genuinely entertaining characters and is gradually ramping up her game by taking on more roles that highlight her unfettered passion and natural talent.
