She appeared in films such as ‘Memoirs of a Murderer’, ‘Robbers’ and dramas such as ‘The King and Queen’, ‘Maids’. In 2020, she gained recognition for her role as midwife Seol Myung-sook in the drama “The World of the Married”.

Chae Gook-hee was also in a romantic relationship with actor Oh Dal-su. The two became close after working together on the comedy “Marijuana” in 2008. Their relationship evolved after starring in the 2012 film “The Thieves” and in 2016 they officially acknowledged their romance. They have even been spotted on dates together.
However, in 2018, before the release of the film “Detective K: Secret of the Dead,” Oh Dal-su dodged questions about marriage plans during an interview, stating: “No comment.” Shortly after, they officially announced their breakup.
