Lee Kyung-hee Biography

Lee Kyung-hee is one of the most popular and richest Screenwriter who was born on July 26, 1969 in Jinju, South Gyeongsang Province, South Korea. Lee Kyung-hee (born 26 July 1969) is a South Korean television screenwriter.

It was a great anticipation for her next project, and Lee was cast Rain for the character of K-1 warrior who plots revenge on her actor (Shin Min-ah) who caused his brother to attempt suicide. However, despite the stylish cinematography of director Kim Kyu Tae, A Love to Kill (2005) was a failure on the critical front with disappointing reviews.

Lee reunited with another Sang Doo alum, Gong Hyo-jin, in Thank You (2007), about a single mother living on a small island with her grandfather who has dementia (Shin Goo) and her HIV-positive daughter (Seo Shin-ae), until a cynical doctor enters their lives. For the lead actor, Lee cast Jang Hyuk in his acting comeback after mandatory military service. Because of Jang’s draft- dodging scandal, the drama received little hype, but the heartwarming story and well-drawn characters, as well as the cast’s strong performances guided by director Lee Jae-dong (previously of Sweet Buns), led to solid ratings and it ranked number one in its timeslot. Some critics considered it arguably her finest work, and Lee won Best TV Screenplay at the 2008 Baeksang Arts Awards. It also received the 10th Special Media Award from Amnesty International, for “its frank, yet sensitive portrayal of a young HIV patient and her family and friends; it dealt with a touchy subject that had not been broached in other TV dramas and taught the audience to respect AIDS patients and other underprivileged members of our society.”

In Will It Snow for Christmas? (2009), Lee returned to the genre of traditional melodrama. Directed by Choi Moon-suk (previously of What Happened in Bali) and starring Go Soo and Han Ye-seul, the tale of rekindled childhood love lost the ratings battle against blockbuster spy series Iris.

One year later Lee Kyung-hee landed the jackpot, gaining popularity both on and off TV and critical acclaim, with I’m Sorry I love You (2004). Starring So Ji-sub in his dazzling performance, alongside emerging actress Im Soo-jung, the story included overseas adoption, secret births, the secrets of life, terminal illness , and an unrequited love triangle. However, due to its concentration on the suffering and emotional struggles for the protagonists, the story was real despite the exaggerated plot. The show was more emotionally powerful than any other drama Lee previously wrote and she was praised by both critics and viewers for her well-written script , which showed the beauty of human suffering. MiSa (as it’s known by fans, the mashup of the two syllables that comprised the Korean subtitle Mianhada Saranghanda) became one of the few “mania dramas” (Korean slang for TV shows with a massive online fanbase) that also earned excellent ratings. It won in the awards in the year 2004. KBS Drama Awards, while at the 2005 Baeksang Arts Awards So received Best TV Actor . Lee got nominated as the the award for best TV Screenplay.
