2000. Having majored in Korean literature at Seoul Women's University,
she originally dreamed of becoming a news presenter. She was one of 15

getting the job. Instead, she turned to modeling, and was chosen as
the exclusive advertising model for Asiana Airlines, considered a
gateway to stardom.Lee made her acting debut in 2003, and among her
early roles were in People of the Water Flower Village (2004) opposite
Song Il-gook, and as the antagonist in Save the Last Dance for Me
(2004).In 2005, Lee played her first leading role in the daily drama
My Sweetheart, My Darling, followed by the Silla-set historical epic
Ballad of Seodong with Jo Hyun-jae. She spent the next several years
in television dramas â€" Mr. Goodbye with Ahn Jae-wook, Queen of the
Game with Joo Jin-mo, and Becoming a Billionaire with Ji Hyun-woo â€"
but none struck a chord with audiences or critics.
