South Korean actress Bae Doona might be a brilliant artist and a skilled photographer, but what she also happens to be is your go-to person when it comes to bringing to life characters that need to perform bada**es stunts. She was first presented to an international audience in the form of Sun Bak on the Netflix show, 'Sense8,' playing a kickboxing fighter, and now she has switched to slaying zombies in the streaming giant's upcoming horror, 'Kingdom.'

In 'Sense8' we saw Bae as one of the main characters, Sun, and play the role of an entrepreneur trying to climb the ladder of success, but with a twist. Sun also happened to be a rising star in the underground kickboxing scene - something that proved to be extremely beneficial for her once she was introduced to life as one of the titular 'sensate.' These sensates are people across the globe - a group of eight in all - who are connected to each other through their mind and emotions.
