1. [+493, -35] Being under SM was a detriment to her car. Because of SM being known for their crappy acting, she was stereotyped and buried under that. She worked hard on a lot of different projects but never got any recognition for them.. I hope she gets popular through this opportunity.

2. [+394, -30] Really, it was through this drama that I saw her in a new light;; She's so good at acting and she's not even playing the stereotypical female lead where all you have to do is sit around in luxury brands and look pretty...... She's pretty just as she is.

3. [+355, -28] I think it's that she was always a good actress, just that she never landed the right project

4. [+47, -5] She's a hundred times better than labelmate Lee Yeon Hee, I really don't know why she hasn't received her shining moment until now

5. [+28, -4] I remember reading a movie director talk about Go Ara and he said that despite her pretty looks, she'll do whatever you tell her to and that she was bound for success.

6. [+27, -4] As someone who never missed an episode of 'Banollim' and 'Banollim 2', I can see similarities between 'Najung' and 'Oklim'... I think that's why Go Ara hasn't been able to receive attention since 'Oklim' until she landed 'Najung' again. I'm worried that she's going to enter into another slump after this drama or that she'll never be able to escape the 'Najung' character image for the next decade. I personally wish her the best.

7. [+12, -2] The careers of actors are decided 60~70% by the projects they choose. The remaining 30~40% is their acting talent. The actors who choose the right projects have longer running careers than actors who are simply good at acting.

8. [+11, -4] She never lucked out on her projects
