Oh Yeon-soo (Korean: 오연수; born October 27, 1971) is a South Korean actress.
Oh Yeon-soo made her debut in 1989 among a batch of actors who passed an open audition by broadcaster MBC, and she soon became popular for her innocent image.[1] But since her marriage to fellow actor Son Ji-chang,[2][3][4] Oh has had a career renaissance doing more mature roles. She played a single mother who rediscovers love in A Second Proposal,[5] a discontented housewife in a rivalry with a top ballerina in The Queen Returns,[6][7] and was cast as strong, supporting characters in the historical dramas Jumong,[8] and Gyebaek.[9] But Oh became best known for memorably portraying married women exploring adultery in the dark melodramas Bitter Sweet Life,[10][11] and Bad Guy.[1][12][13][14][15][16][17]
In 2022, she returned to small screen with after five years in Military Prosecutor Doberman. She portrayed a villainous military division commander who was the very first woman to achieve that position since the army founding.
