Acting Career
Unfortunately, Resurrection of the Little Match Girl was a boxoffice flop even though it received mixed review results. Her acting was plain and not so impressive. Both critics and audiences merely regarded her performance there as a re-play of her image-oriented works on the former TTL commercials.
Nevertheless, she continued participating into four Korean movies as leading lady by 2005. Her most successful film was teenage comedy Conduct Zero. Lim starred as a Ryu Seung-beom's high-school girl friend, Minhee. In this movie, she tried to change her fixed image into more lively one. In 2004, Lim challenged the new territory of Horror film genre and played the ghost roles on Doll Master and Sisily 2km. Although they did not get the positive reactions that Conduct Zero did, Lim could improve some acting skills.
Lim also took part in KBS weekend drama Bodyguard in 2003 and short-lived MBC sitcom Rainbow Romance in 2005. Currently, she is looking for another roles in the movies.

Famous quotes containing the words acting and/or career:
“It especially helps if you know that we’re all faking our adulthood—even your parents and their parents. Beneath these adult trappings—in our president, in our parents, in you and me—lurk the emotions of a child. If we know that only about ourselves, we become infantile; if we understand that about everybody, then we have nothing to be ashamed of—unless, of course, we go around acting like a child and expecting everyone else to act like grownups.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
