Compared with many people, 30-year-old Lizzie from London has a rosy life: she is in a relationship and has a full-time job for which she has won an award.

After the success of My Rosy Life, she played the lead in the KBS drama Famous Princesses, also written by Moon.

I thought I might find you here,' said Brother Cadfael, and took the little bellows and blew the brazier into rosy life, for it was none too warm within there.

She is best known for her roles in Korean dramas such as Yellow Handkerchief, My Rosy Life, Famous Princesses and Wang's Family.

In 2005, she appeared in the highly popular KBS series My Rosy Life, written by Moon Young-nam, which also featured Choi Jin-sil.

On 22 December 2013 GMA Life TV started airing its first Tagalog-dubbed Koreanovela, Full House, followed by A Rosy Life on 20 January 2014.

She gained popularity after her rendition of "Mahal Naman Kita" was used as a theme song for the successful Koreanovela, A Rosy Life aired on GMA Network.

But Choi made a successful comeback in My Rosy Life, as she reinvented herself as a more approachable "ajumma" (the Korean term for a middle-aged married woman), gaining six kilograms for the role.

Choi received several Best Actress awards for her portrayal of a proprietress who rents out her comic book shop as an overnight shelter in the 1994 film Rosy Life (also known as La Vie en Rose).

The pain and suffering of Choi's character blurred the line between reality and fiction, and her performance aroused empathy from TV audiences; with My Rosy Life, she received the best reviews of her career from viewers and critics alike.

Rival network MBC initially wouldn't allow actress Choi Jin-sil to star in KBS's My Rosy Life, claiming she was still under contract with them to act in 300 drama episodes, of which she had completed 250.

On 30 June 2014, A Rosy Life re-airs for the second time on GMA Life TV, followed by the second re-run of Sassy Girl on 22 September 2014 and Cruel Love on 17 November 2014.

Lead actress Choi Jin-sil was perfect casting, as she was once the darling of Korean popular culture during the late 1980s through the 1990s, but a controversial marriage and divorce forced her into a five-year hiatus from acting, until she made a successful comeback with My Rosy Life in 2005.
