In the TV drama "The Queen Maker," the actress Kim Sae-byuk plays the role of Chae-ryung. She is a relatively unknown actress at this point. Let's take a look at this actress.

Chae-ryung in The Queen Maker

In the beginning of "The Queen Maker" series, a female executive of a major corporation appears as a character with anger management issues. 

She cannot control her temper and ends up physically assaulting others, causing harm to her company after her actions are broadcasted to the public through the media.

The character of Baek Jae-min, who is a decisive factor in causing major events in the drama, becomes the reason for his return to Korea. Kim Sae-byuk plays this role, and prior to her appearance in "The Queen Maker," she mostly worked on low-budget independent films rather than mainstream dramas.

Kim Sae-byuk's representative work is the 2018 independent film "House of Humming"

Kim Sae-byeok appears in the film "House of Hummingbird" as Eun-hee's Chinese character teacher. She plays a role that shows a slightly more free-spirited side compared to other teachers, and comforts Eun-hee in her own way as she always feels lonely. Her performance in the film was excellent, and as the film became the highest-grossing independent film, Kim Sae-byeok's name began to be known gradually.

Other Film

In the modernized film adaptation of the novel "A Day of a Novelist," titled "Writer's Block," Kim Sae-byeok briefly appears as the character Jiyu. She also appeared in a small role as Mrs. Song in director Hirokazu Kore-eda's "The Third Murder." Interestingly, in 2022, she appeared as the wife of Seo Chang-dae played by Lee Sun-kyun in the film "Kingmaker," and is set to appear in the 2023 series "Queenmaker."
