Han Jae Yi: The most beloved beauty "Mask Girl", waited 11 years for a shining episode

Even though she didn't have much screen time, Han Jae Yi captured the hearts of the audience. Few people know, before becoming known through the screen storm Mask Girl, the actress had more than 10 years pursuing an acting career.

Watching Mask Girl, many viewers must have felt that Han Jae Yi looked very familiar but it was unclear which projects she had appeared in. In fact, this beautiful female star born in 1991 has been filming for 11 years but has not been lucky enough to find a chance to shine. Appearing in Mask Girl for only one episode, this is the brightest shining moment in the late bloomer's 11-year career.

Han Jae Yi's real name is Ahn Sun Yeong. She started her career in the short film The Trace in 2012. However, it was not until 2013 that she officially became known as an actress through the movie Nobody's Daughter Hae Won. In the following years, Han Jae Yi diligently acted in movies and short films, but was not known to many audiences.

In 2018, Han Jae Yi turned to acting in dramas with a cameo role in the movie Beautiful Sister Who Buys Me Delicious Rice. A year later, she gained more or less attention when appearing in IU's hit work Hotel del Luna. In the movie, she did not have much screen time and also played the role of an eyeless ghost, haunting viewers.

However, this is still a turning point in Han Jae Yi's professional journey. Unfortunately, after this haunting role, Han Jae Yi's career still could not make a breakthrough, she continued to play unpopular supporting roles, even though she acted well, she was not recognized.

With thorny and attractive content, Mask Girl immediately caused a fever on online film platforms after its release. According to Allkpop, the project attracted 2.8 million viewers and 19.2 million viewing hours in just three days. The three actors who played Kim Mo Mi in different stages, Lee Han Byeol, Nana and Go Hyun Jung, all attracted attention and received many compliments from the audience. From here, Han Jae Yi's career can be said to have turned a new page.

Referring to the top visuals of the movie Mask Girl, the audience will surely immediately remember the name Nana, who plays Kim Mo Mi after having plastic surgery, at the peak of her beauty. But in reality, Mask Girl is still an extremely young and beautiful beauty. That is Han Jae Yi, who plays Chun Ae, the best friend who can risk everything for Mo Mi. This is probably also the character most loved by the audience in this movie even though he only appeared in one episode.

In the movie, Chun Ae is portrayed as Mo Mi's twin sister. Both were once ugly girls, mentally traumatized by being looked down upon for their unattractive appearance, then both chose plastic surgery to rebuild their lives and become beautiful.

They go together and become partners at the bar where they work. Because of the similarity in appearance after surgery, Chun Ae almost "received a boxed lunch" because she was misunderstood as Mo Mi. However, she did not blame this friend at all, she even loved Mo Mi more, deciding to protect Mo Mi to the end, despite putting herself in danger.

Playing the role of someone described as Nana's "twin", Han Jae Yi is also equipped with a very beautiful and sexy appearance. In the scenes appearing with Nana, the beauty of the Han beauty is not overshadowed.

Returning to Chun Ae's story, this character pushed her life into tragedy when she once again opened her arms to the person who treated her badly when she was still ugly. Bu Yong once took advantage of Chun Ae's feelings, treating her as one of his bottomless "banks".

When she learned the truth, it was Chun Ae who "exposed" Bu Yong's true personality online, causing Bu Yong's life to immediately fall apart. When she was beautiful and had a different life, she accidentally met Bu Yong again in a pathetic condition, Chun Ae took pity on him and took Bu Yong home to take care of him. She did not expect the day when the lazy, parasitic Bu Yong would mercilessly attack her, forcing her to serve him. While unsuccessfully escaping, Chun Ae, with the help of Mo Mi, took care of Bu Yong.

The moment of this character's emotional explosion was when she and Mo Mi ran away together but were discovered by Kim Kyung Ja. Before the moment of life and death, Chun Ae recognized herself as Mo Mi, she wanted to protect this friend and the child in Mo Mi's womb. Even when seriously injured, Chun Ae used all her last strength to save Mo Mi from Kyung Ja.

Her excellent performance in the role of Chun Ae has made the name Han Jae Yi more interested than ever. Many viewers believe that the episode about Chun Ae is the best episode in Mask Girl overall. In addition, the explosive chemistry between Nana and Han Jae Yi makes the audience love the story and friendship of the two characters even more.

Unlike Nana's "twin"'s sharp beauty, Han Jae Yi has a gentle, gentle face. If she doesn't have a special schedule, she almost doesn't wear makeup but comfortably wears a bare face, only applying a little lipstick to make her overall look more fresh. Hair is also thoroughly minimalist.

Han Jae Yi's dressing style is also different from the movie. When playing the role of Chun Ae, she often wears short, tight items to show off her perfect body, but in real life, it's the opposite. She mostly wears... "concealing" outfits that don't emphasize her sexy bust but only promote comfort. Color tones also mainly revolve around neutral or pastel tones, with almost no glaring neon items.
