Cha Tae Hyun, who is not considered very handsome in appearance, actually had a very tough beginning. He was always interested in acting, so he joined KBS Talent Contest and became a drama actor in 1995. In 1999, he was selected by the director for his excellent performance in "Sunflower" to star in "Happy Together". He then successfully acted as the lead in "Juliet's Man". In 2001, Cha Tae Hyun was again lucky enough to be cast by Korean director Kwak Jae Yong and starred in "My Sassy Girl" with famous Korean model Jeon Ji Hyun, which became a sensation in Asia. In 2008, "Scandal Makers" became the highest-grossing Korean film of the year and the sixth highest-grossing movie in the history of Korean cinema.
