Career

Before making her film debut in Lady Vengeance (2005), Ra Mi-ran spent years acting in theatre. Afterwards, she appeared in more than 40 films but did not receive acclaim or public recognition until she starred in Dancing Queen (2012), with one review calling her "the standout" as the protagonist's best friend and hairdresser.[1]

She is most prolific as a supporting actress,[2][3][4] notably in Lee Joon-ik's Hope (2013), for which her portrayal of a young boy's mother won Best Supporting Actress at the 34th Blue Dragon Film Awards;[5] as well as The Himalayas (2015),[6] for which she won Best Supporting Actress at the 52nd Paeksang Arts Awards. She was also noted as a scene stealer in the hit cable drama Reply 1988 (2015).[7][8]

Ra was also praised in her leading role as a North Korean defector in Jeon Kyu-hwan's indie Dance Town (2011), with Variety calling it "riveting" and "a landmark performance."[9][10] She also played one of the three leads in black comedy drama Avengers Social Club, which drew high ratings.[11]
