‘My Love From the Star’ Was Her First Drama in 14 Years
Jun Ji Hyun has been in the entertainment industry since 1997, but interestingly has spent the bulk of her career appearing in films instead of dramas.

The role elevated her to superstar status and even caused a worldwide YSL lipstick shortage!
