In 2013, Choi played her first leading role in the four-episode romantic comedy series Like a Fairytale, followed by The Greatest Thing in the World (a Chuseok special on single mothers and adoptees[5]) and the melodrama Passionate Love.[6][7]
In recent years, Choi became known among Korean telenovela audiences, having acted as the protagonist in several titles of the genre such as Enemies From the Past, All is Well [ko], and My Dear Cat.
Choi made a comeback to weekly miniseries in 2019 with tvN's political thriller Designated Survivor: 60 Days, based on the American television series of the same title, in which she played the counterpart of Italia Ricci's role.[8]
