Kyoposan May 04 2024 11:59 am Love to see her as a wealthy grandma in Atypical Family for a change. Looks like a fun show!

Jillibean Feb 18 2024 5:27 pm Love this veteran actress, she is superb in everything, from The Snow Queen to Twinkling Watermelon and everything in between. Keep on keeping on, ma'am!

Fred Cordiano Sep 18 2022 6:58 pm I just loved her in My Mother The Mermaid and All About My Mom Talented Doesn't just read lines She becomes the character Terrific !

Cimegs5088 Jun 13 2022 1:14 am Lol so she and her son in Our Blues are mother and son in real life too......talents and good look sure runs in the family....Consider that she's also grew up in Jeju (and actually 70 years old), the pick of actor for this film can't get anymore genuine and authentic lol

littlepinky May 16 2022 8:17 pm Such great to know your role in Everglow and Our Blues prove you are a diver .You are really what that makes the substance of each drama/movie role . I am wondering your show Travel with Do Shim should be english subtitle for seniors or non senior fans around the globe would know more.

Teddy Feb 21 2022 8:55 pm An amazing actress!!! whatever role she is in it feels real...

yoooonaaa Apr 09 2021 6:26 am First time watching her at Our Gapsoon, very motherly, very good actress. Love her very much!!

Rei van Liempt Nov 17 2020 12:29 am I love this actress. She brings so much care to her roles. First time I saw her was in Immortal Masterpiece/Immortal Classic, and now I will try to watch more of the dramas mentioned on this page.

Layla Apr 11 2019 1:58 am Majority of her role is a loving Mother you can feel it also when you watched her in Master in the House (Variety Show). She really was down to earth person

ERL Feb 13 2019 11:50 am In my opinion this actress is the tops! No matter the drama type, she brings 100% ti the role. No matter the character, she adds a depth so touching and humane. I highly recommend watching any of the dramas she acts in. Since I found this page, thats what I plan to do.

Paul Aug 21 2018 9:22 am Saw her in The Preparation on in- flight movie heading back home to Sydney ....Wonderful movie and great Korean actress and marvellous acting tecnique...A real tear jerker that movie with her great performance capturing the beautiful and human side of korean culture.

Gasenadi May 21 2018 6:45 am Not much to add to the accolades written here. The standouts, to me, are: Her Beautiful Story (More Beautiful than a Flower); The Great Merchant - in which Ko Du-Shim appears in a captivating epilogue about the importance of Kim Man-Deok in Korea's history; and the unforgettable Dear My Friends. She has earned the respect and admiration of fans all over the world. Saludos desde Puerto Rico.

LoLa Apr 11 2018 8:07 pm One of my favorite veteran actress...

Irene Jan 29 2018 1:46 pm One of my favourite Korean actress.

Nanu Nov 12 2015 2:36 am I love her so much, she makes her character so real...Please stay healthy !!!

RAW Aug 23 2015 9:47 pm Excellent actress! I have seen many of her performances and she makes me believe she is the character she is playing. Question - How can she play a role in two separate dramas at the same time? She is such a professional but wouldn't the fact that she is in many scenes in both dramas tax her strength and exhaust her? I worry about the health of this fine performer.

Sia Aug 15 2015 5:58 am I love her acting in every dramas series that i watched with her in it,especially in You're The Best Lee Soon Shin.. Can't wait to watch you in All About You,Mom&The Virtual Bride:)

:) Jul 15 2015 8:19 pm Fantastic acting in High Society. Love this actress

Sharon Jun 24 2015 7:27 pm I hate you so much in High Society - but that means you're an amazing actress:)

Roopa Sep 19 2013 10:25 pm She is super talented!

Thomas Aug 14 2013 2:28 am I love your great acting skills

Pitzel Apr 04 2013 5:12 pm I have seen this actress in so many works and she is outstanding in everything. I especially want to comment on her role of the mother(Oh Soon-Ok) in "All About Marriage". I felt like she could have been my aunt or grandmother, her portrayal was so believable. I am definitely a fan, Ko Du-Shim.
