Career edit

She first reached fame with her novel He Was Cool, which she serialized for 2 months since August 2001 in Daum's humor threads when she was a 2nd year in high school in Jecheon girl's high school.[1] Subsequent works such as Romance of Their Own, spawned commercially successful films of the same name, as with another book, A Wolf's Attraction. Since then, one of her other books, Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do, has become a film starring Jang Keun-suk. A movie of To My Boyfriend is also in planning stages. Despite her commercial success, Guiyeoni has been criticized for her lack of literary perfection, overuse of emoticons,[2] and unrealistic setting in her works. Besides the aforementioned novels, she has also written Africa, Five Stars, and written and illustrated a manhwa called Syndrome.

Personal life edit

She married in 2018.[3]
