There's plenty of talent in the cast of "She Was Pretty." Hwang Jung Eum, Park Seo Joon, Choi Si Won and Go Joon Hee are endlessly entertaining in this romantic comedy. But we'd like to give a special shout-out to the actress who supplies the show with "The Most"-like touch.

That actress is Hwang Suk Jung, who plays Kim Ra Ra, the flamboyant editor of the magazine that Park Seo Joon and Hwang Jung Eum's characters work for. Early on in the drama viewers learn  that Kim Ra Ra does not have her job at the magazine because she has any talent or fashion magazine experience. She got the job because she's related to someone important. She's obviously not managing the magazine well as Park Seo Joon's character is called in for a last minute rescue. Mostly she just floats in and out of the workspace suggesting parties and makeovers.

But one thing she does really well is define the magazine's attitude. That's not "Most"-like she keeps telling people. When Hwang Jung Eum's character gets a makeover she says "very Most-like" and a sign of her approval. And she displays some of what it takes to be the "Most" in her frequent wardrobe changes. They are the "Most" outlandish fashion choices imaginable and she wears them with flair and displays them with comic timing.

And she's not bad at all of the lines she has to say in foreign languages. She rattles off phrases in English, French and Italian with great flair.

The actress also takes a turn in one episode as another character, the down-to-earth owner of a restaurant. She makes Hwang Jung Eum and Park Seo Joon shovel manure when they cannot pay their bill.

Hwang Jung Eum has been acting since 2001. She appeared in 17 films and 14 dramas and is a frequent guest on the variety show "Running Man." The number of dramas she appears in dramatically escalated in the last five years, totalling six drama appearances in 2015 along. Hwang Suk Jung had roles in "Secret Love," which also starred Hwang Jung Eum; "Wonderful Days," "Discovery of Love," "The Legendary Witch," and "Mask." She even had a cameo appearances in "Queen of the Office," "Falling For Soon Jung" and "Mask."

After her fun performance in "She Was Pretty" she's likely to attract even more roles.
