November 09, 2013 08:19 Actress Kim Yoon-hye is giving audiences a chill with her striking performance as a cold and aloof high school girl in director Choi Jin-sung's romantic thriller "Steel Cold Winter," which was released on Thursday. "I've heard many times that I look cold or mysterious. A few years ago, I played the role of another psychopathic student in a TV drama, so people may think I'm a kind of cold-hearted or gloomy person. But the reality is far from that," said the 22-year-old actress. "At first, I was afraid that I'd become typecast, but I also realize that I've been given a rare opportunity. And as I appear in more films or dramas in the future, I'm sure I'll be able to expand my acting range rather than being pigeonholed."

That was quite challenging, ... » Learn More about Young Actress Spooks Viewers with Chilling Movie Role
