So-Yi Yoon in Shadowless Sword

So-Yi Yoon makes a striking heroine, in both Shadowless Sword and Arahan.  She is lanky and coordinated, and there is a kind of hardness in her face that really gives a sense of warriorship: this woman has been through hell, now get the eff out of her way.

So it was sad to me when I heard that she'd gotten her jaw "corrected" through plastic surgery, in order to give her the easy forgettability that K-Drama actresses consider desirable.

Here, then, are a few images of So-Yi Yoon, when she looked a warrior.
