Re-appearing in 2015 with Yong Pal, Kim Tae Hee plays Yeo Jin - the daughter of a tycoon but with a tragic fate co-starring with "Bread King" Joo Won. Yong Pal, when it was released, had a great appeal to the audience, causing the station to extend 2 more episodes from 16 to 18 episodes. The film explores the theme of Medicine but talks about the dark side of this industry. It was a special medical service that was beyond ethical standards, serving 1% of the population who were aristocrats. The film has swept the Asian screen and brought her the Best Actress award at the Korea Drama Awards.
In this film, Kim Tae Hee plays Han Yeo Jin, an heir to the Hanshin Group who was injured and left in a coma for three years. Doctor Tae Hyun, the hero of patients of organized crime, is hired by Yeo Jin as a special care worker. After some time of treatment, he learns the reason for her coma and assists her in waking up. There were a lot of debates over Kim Tae Hee's performance in the early episodes when her character mainly just sat still. However, Kim Tae Hee's portrayal of the strong, haughty, yet kind female president Han Yeo Jin when she returned in the arms of love completely changed the public's perception of her performance.
