There are many TV blockbusters, but Song Hye Kyo has many "bombs" when taking over the film industry. Her box office performance is not too impressive, there are films that only sell more than 100,000 tickets.

Expected works like "Hwang Jin Yi" also only attracted 1.27 million viewers; "My Brilliant Life" (1.62 million audience) also did not resonate.

Love scene

If you count on your fingers, Song Hye Kyo will definitely win, because she loves a lot. She got into rumors with many fellow artists, so much so that it was said that she "loves whoever she works with", such as Rain, Song Seung Hun.
