This versatility is considered a significant turning point in her filmography.

Jung So Min first gained recognition for her strong comedic abilities in the 2015 film 'Twenty' and the 2016 drama 'The Sound of Your Heart'.

In 2018, she deepened her emotional range by playing the most sorrowful character, Yoo Jin-gang, in 'The Smile Has Left Your Eyes.' Her recent works, 'Alchemy of Souls' (where she played a character with a switched body) and 'Mom's Friend's Son' (as a K-eldest daughter), further demonstrate her genre-defying acting prowess.
