The audience appreciated this beauty’s appearance, especially her eyes, but not her acting.
For audiences who love Korean movies, Go Ara is probably a familiar name. She is famous for beautiful titles such as “female star with angelic beauty” or “beauty with the most beautiful eyes in showbiz”. Innocent, lovely beauty, eyes with rare, extremely unique colors made Go Ara have to spend a lot of effort in the early years of her career to explain that she… did not wear lenses.
Recently, on the Tik Tok platform, a clip appeared that attracted nearly 2 million views, mentioning her rare eyes and “time-hacked” beauty. Specifically, when placing two pictures, from 2005 in the movie Sharp 2 and 2023 of Go Ara next to each other, the audience suddenly realized that she seemed to have been forgotten by time. Her big, round eyes and beautiful face are almost unchanged. She is even praised for being much more beautiful than when she first started her career.
Her unique eyes and beautiful appearance are also what help Go Ara maintain her reputation even though she rarely acts in films and her acting ability is not highly appreciated. During her career, Go Ara has had many famous films, but finding a role that is considered a classic may be a bit difficult. Because even though she started her career very early, at only 33 years old but has 20 years of acting experience, Go Ara’s ability only stops at the level of “being able to act”.
Proportional to Go Ara’s unchanged beauty over the years is also Go Ara’s eternal acting. She herself once thought that she had limits in her acting ability. However, having the big man SM backing her and her outstanding beauty still helps her maintain her position in the profession. Perhaps because of that, from the time the contract with SM ended in 2016 until now, Go Ara’s career has become much bleaker. From 2020 until now, she has only had one movie, The Childe with Kim Seon Ho, but her acting was not highly appreciated.
