Loan Feb 26 2025 10:07 pm If we have her again in Kingdom 3, I will not watch.

Bea Jan 25 2025 4:51 am There's something about this actress that i can't figure out. Its like she has this pull that will certainly make you interested and curious about her. I only discover her dramas recently - Kingdom and Stranger and i feel like i just discovered one of korea's finest and hidden gem. She deserves recognition! She's so good at every role she is portraying. Do i also have to mention that doona bae acted in international films and series already? She has worked with hollywood's A-class actors in the past that i'm asking myself - why am i sleeping on this actress for so long.

I also just learned that she was in the iconic movie that has broadcasted many times in our local TV called - THE Host. If i remember it correctly, it was one of korea's highest grossing films of all time. She's also the ghost in the korean adaptation of a popular japanese film sadaku or aka The Ring.

Kevin Dec 06 2024 1:05 pm Badass in the family plan , really catch the character , so cool

Justtoyeen Jun 24 2024 2:13 pm Just finished sense8... Just wanted to say you were amazing.

Linavic Dec 28 2023 7:30 am So I was here after watching "Rebel Moon" in Netflix... Bae Doona is Nemesis. She's good in speaking english.

Ajumma May 29 2023 4:30 am She reminds me of Gwyneth Paltrow in some ways. Lovely voice.

shaviton May 14 2023 8:52 pm I have not seen much of her but I liked her performance in barking dogs never bite, she has a supernatural charm

Trish Apr 04 2023 2:37 am Enjoyed everything I have seen her in but you forgot Sense8 in 2015

Paul Milsom Feb 18 2023 10:50 am Excellent actress, and utterly gorgeous woman. .

 very few women are this attractive,,,

Ish Feb 03 2023 10:33 am Another beautiful and talented Korean actress.

Ebifie Jul 28 2022 7:56 am My birthday mate bae doo-na,wish we could meet

Bob Feb 02 2022 10:09 am Brill actress sense 8fantastic strangers great bit restrained hope the spice up strangers 3 she can do it xxxx

Nguyet Jan 18 2022 9:08 pm The first time I saw her was in Strangers and her acting was so unique and subtle. Hope to see her in another sequence of Strangers.

Sarah Nov 11 2021 12:21 am The Best Korean actress! She’s so talented and so unique. I loved her in Stranger!

Dinorah Oct 22 2021 10:53 am I would love that there is a 3rd season of Stranger, to see her again in her role as Han Yeo Jin. She was outstanding in that role!

Dinorah Oct 22 2021 10:50 am I was fascinated by her performance in Stranger. How subtle she was and how many nuances she gave to her character. She has my total admiration!

Fita Aug 08 2021 3:12 am Beautiful lady and a verygood actress

Lore Oct 25 2020 4:44 pm Such a magnificent actress that I can't understand why she isn't nominated as best actress all the time; I saw her in Cloud Atlas for the first time and she makes that movie with her performance, absolutely astonishing.

I never saw sense8 but just this year I discovered Stranger (the best drama of the kind I've seen btw, better than Sherlock) The Host and then Stranger 2 came out and I watched that too, fantastic works... She's amazing, such natural expressions on her acting, never over the top.

Last week I finished Matrimonial Chaos which I started watching just because she was in it and I was blown away, I never thought I'd love it that much since I'm more of a "Stranger" kind of series, but I really recommend it; both her and Son Suk Goo really outshine everyone. Can't wait for Broker and The Sea of Tranquility and I really hope we get another season of Stranger!

Camari Rusaqoli Oct 07 2020 2:00 am I love her style and always brings something different on the table..a very unique actress .multi talented and beautiful in person as we can see her being herself as always...I love u Bae

allan francis Sep 10 2020 4:31 am a real top actress , hoping stranger 2 is soon to be shown on European netflix

A faraway admirer Aug 02 2020 8:54 pm I watched her for the first time on Study God and I fell in love with her acting. I've just started watching Kingdom (on season 2 now lololol) and she's still smashing it asdhjkl :)

Un modeste admirateur Jul 03 2020 6:52 pm If you don’t mind French movies, I highly recommend that you watch Bae Doo-Na in the film "#JeSuisLà" (2019). It’s about an ageing French cook (played by Alain Chabat) who’s always chatting online with a Korean woman, without ever having met her in real life. When she tells him that the cherry trees have blossomed in Korea, he decides to jump on a plane for Seoul. This is the beginning. I won’t spoil for you the rest of the story. Just hearing Bae Doo-Na speaking French for minutes made my day. She must have taken training, because she had a very intelligible pronunciation. But I think the movie is excellent as well, although melancholic at times. It raises very current questions on the topic of frontiers (borders): the frontier between two different cultures, or the frontier between reality and the virtual world, and the courage needed in order to cross them, followed by the joy of breaking free.

Juan Quinones Jan 21 2020 8:13 am Great role in the movie tunnel she is beautiful loved it

William Owen Sep 02 2019 12:01 pm Bae Doona is so top drawer. Her presence, her skills, her style. It's exciting to watch her paint a character's portrait

Needstrangerseason2 Apr 24 2019 10:27 am No season 2 for Stranger? :( :( :(

Chana Shee Feb 28 2019 8:52 am Really professional actress, she played great role in Kingdom.

Barry Goodman Jan 28 2019 12:44 pm Bae Doo-Na is such a chameleon that I didn't realize it was her in Kingdom until the 3rd episode. Even though she is a total bad ass in Sense 8 and Host, she portrays heroes that are vulnerable. In Kingdom she seamlessly portrays a character with intellect, humility and strength. Bae Doo-Na sets new standards for her craft.

Mi_jah Nov 28 2018 8:46 pm You were Just wonderful in matrimonial chaos

k.mac1903 Sep 27 2018 9:11 am Bae Doo-na is outstanding. She is, far and beyond, the most incredible actress I have seen so far in any genre of film or drama.

I first saw her in Sense 8 and then followed her to Tunnel, and Stranger. She is the reason I am now so completely obsessed with kdrama, as I discovered kdrama through her and her role in Sense 8. Every role she has played has been incredible, and such varied roles too. I feel every emotion with her with every character she plays. So versatile, so amazing. Please - more of Bae Doo-na! I can't wait.

Dash Jul 23 2018 7:10 pm Absolutely adore her!! I wonder why her biggest project so far (Sense8) wasn't mentioned in her.

yuzu Mar 16 2018 2:57 am best korean actress ever

Micah Nov 18 2017 12:05 am She was in Sense 8 too, I wonder why they didn't mention that. It was AWESOME!!!

Alex Sep 15 2017 4:10 pm Doona is BAE. One of South Korea's finest.. I think she is genuinely one of my all time fave actresses globally too. Stranger (Secret Forest) confirmed it again.

Why is Sense8 not on here but Cloud Atlas and Jupiter Ascending are?

Gregory Ashby Aug 09 2017 4:03 pm Love you ...great actress

nasi goreng pete Jul 30 2017 2:46 pm I love youu !!! Youre so pretty . My Favorite korean actress

Camry Jul 09 2017 3:03 am A versatile actress and incomparable fashionista and woman with a statement. A body language that speaks louder than words. I feel that she doesn't need to say anything to get across the other side as she speaks less but after watching the makings of secret forest that would be an understatement.. She's so jovial and FREE

RK Jun 03 2017 7:50 am Favorite Korean actress ever! I legit cried when Sense8 was cancelled :( She IS my favorite amongst the sensates (Wolfgang/Kala duo are close seconds)

Labeed al-Ansar May 23 2017 8:12 am Wonderful acting in Sense8

elys Dec 27 2016 9:39 pm I just saw the Christmas special of Sense8. Doona is a bomb fighter!

Amyus Nov 09 2016 11:26 am In my opinion Bae Doo-na is one of the finest modern actresses to come out of Korea. Her breadth of skill and the nuances in her on-screen performances is par excellence. From the early promise of 'Sympathy for Mr Vengeance' via the beguiling innocence of 'Air Doll', through to her stunning performance in 'The Girl at my Door' (for which she refused payment) she has proved again and again that she has more depth, grace and eloquence than any Hollywood clone. There is an honesty and integrity to her work that one rarely sees in the west. For any young female actress wishing to study the craft in depth, I would advise you to study the work of Bae Doo-na.

Kujina Dec 20 2015 2:08 am OMG when I saw the movie "As One"(Korea) I though she was the female supporting actor in "Answer me 1997" but, her attitude, voice, and acting was just so different and just so talented! that I could't believe it was the same person. Thanks to asianwiki for making it easy to clarify.

Morganiam Oct 19 2015 2:55 am Love her in Master of Study and of course sense8 as well! Such a wonderful actress XD

Anna_Carolinne Jun 27 2015 8:44 pm I'm in love with her in SENSE8!!!! I'll watch all of her dramas <3

shams Jun 15 2015 2:38 am SO BADASS ON SENSE8!!!!!!!!! "yeah. i'll leave a message"
