❤️ {Favourite} Actors/Actresses to watch

I'll take an interest in a show if it features any of these actors. And yes, there are more than a few ulzzangs in this list :) 

If this actor was the lead in a drama that I wanted to watch. If I've put TBD under Best Role, it's probably because I feel I haven't seen enough of their work to make a fair judgement.

  • Do Kyung Soo

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: Hello Monster. His role was short but it made such an impact on me. It grew my love of EXO and puts D.O. at this top of this list.

    Best Role (in my opinion):  Apart from Hello Monster, which was a gem, you can't look past the movie My Annoying Brother.

  • Kim Woo Bin

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: The Heirs

    Best Role (in my opinion):  Uncontrollably Fond. He played the unashamedly charming Idol so convincingly, and at the same time broke our hearts every time he fell sick.

  • Jung Hae In

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: Reply 1988

    Best Role (in my opinion):  Something In The Rain. Who didn't fall in love with Jung Hae In in this role? He was confidently charming and yet adorably shy. And every time he was angry or jealous, his eyes said everything.

  • Jo Jung Suk

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: King2Hearts stole my heart

    Best Role (in my opinion):  Jealousy Incarnate

  • Seo Kang Joon

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: Cheese in the Trap as Baek In Ho. Even though I didn't have second lead syndrome, like a lot of other viewers, you know he still made an impression on me because I remember his character name.

    Best Role (in my opinion):  Are You Human, Too. He plays a robot (with truely subtle expressions) as well as the spoilt chaebol. I actually don't think he is human. 

  • Ji Chang Wook

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: Healer

    Best Role (in my opinion):  Healer... although Empress Ki is a very close second. Both roles demonstrate his acting range, from the bumbling idiot by day, competent spy by night in Healer , to the spoilt prince you can't help but empathise with in Empress Ki.

    Claims my personal award for Has Chemistry with Every Female.

  • Park Jin Young

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: as an idol from GOT7 in various reality shows like Stray Kids. The first acting role I saw him in was Legend of the Blue Sea.

    Best Role (in my opinion):  He is Psychometric is his first fleshed out character, although I haven't seen When My Love Blooms.

  • Jang Ki Yong

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: Go Back Couple. I didn't finish watching this show (just wasn't my cup of tea), but I still remember his scenes.

    Best Role (in my opinion):  TBD. I enjoyed his role in WWW:Search but admittedly haven't seen him in his other main roles so will reserve my judgement. 

  • Seo In Guk

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: Reply 1997

    Best Role (in my opinion):  Reply 1997 felt like it was made for him. 

  • Yoo Yeon Seok

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: Reply 1994

    Best Role (in my opinion):  Mr Sunshine.

  • Lee Jae Wook

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: Extraordinary You

    Best Role (in my opinion):  When The Weather is Fine

  • Jin Ki Joo

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo

    Best Role (in my opinion):  The Secret Life of My Secretary (although I haven't seen enough of her works to say otherwise).

  • Jung So Min

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: Twenty

    Best Role (in my opinion):  Hmmm, it's a tossup between The Smile Has Left Your Eyes and Because This Is My First Life.

  • Edward Lai

    Taiwanese

    First Seen: A Little Thing Called First Love. 

    Best Role (in my opinion):  TBD. He's only really done the one role, A Little Thing Called First Love.

    Lai Guanlin got me into Wanna One (albeit too late) and from there you realise how much of a carefree innocent kid he is, always laughing and willing to give anything a try.

  • Kang Ha Neul

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: Monstar

    Best Role (in my opinion):  When The Camellia Blooms

  • Kim Go Eun

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: Cheese In The Trap. I was so impressed by her acting manerisms.

    Best Role (in my opinion):  Goblin.  Her character as a naive highschooler was so well portrayed that it made me disapprove of the romantic storyline (the highschooler was too child-like, how can it not feel like the man with hundreds of years of experience was taking advantage?)

  • Son Ye Jin

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: A Moment To Remember

    Best Role (in my opinion):  A Moment To Remember

    Such a graceful beauty, and for most people, gets the award for Best Eye Smile (Female)

  • Yoo Seung Ho

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: I'm Not A Robot

    Best Role (in my opinion):  I'm Not A Robot... but there are so many other shows of his that I haven't yet seen.

  • Lee Won Keun

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: Wild Chives and Soybean Soup: 12 Years Promise

    Best Role (in my opinion):  Sassy Go Go. His only role with a bit of depth and to be honest, his smile did most of the work. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

    Gets my personal award for Best Eye Smile (Male).

  • Kim Young Kwang

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: Go Ho's Starry Night

    Best Role (in my opinion):  Hot Young Bloods

  • Park So Dam

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: Cinderella and the Four Knights

    Best Role (in my opinion):  Parasite

  • Jung Kyung Ho

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: Prison Playbook

    Best Role (in my opinion):  Prison Playbook

  • Lee Jun Ho

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: as JunHo of 2PM. Also, Twenty.

    Best Role (in my opinion):  Just Between Lovers, although I hear his role in Chief Kim is worth noting.

  • Yook Sung Jae

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: Goblin

    Best Role (in my opinion):  Currently Goblin, but it will probably be Mystic Pop-Up Bar which gives him more to work with.

  • Ahn Hyo Seop

    Canadese

    First Seen: Queen of the Ring

    Best Role (in my opinion):  TBD

  • Woo Do Hwan

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: Dramaworld - Literally the only good thing about this show.

    Best Role (in my opinion):  So far, The King Eternal Monarch showcased he can be an action hero as well as comedic relief in his duel role.

    Want To See Next: Our Country, Tempted.

  • Won Jin Ah

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: Just Between Lovers

    Best Role (in my opinion):  Just Between Lovers

  • Kim Min Jae

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: on variety show Happy Together where he showed his dancing skills from being an idol trainee.

    Best Role (in my opinion):  TBD

  • Chae Soo Bin

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: Sassy Go Go

    Best Role (in my opinion):  I Am Not A Robot

  • Choi Woo Shik

    Canadese

    First Seen: Ho Goo's Love

    Best Role (in my opinion):  Parasite of course. But also Ho Goo's Love

  • Song Kang

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: Love Alarm

    Best Role (in my opinion):  TBD

  • Park Min Young

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: City Hunter

    Best Role (in my opinion):  TBD, but probably When The Weather is Fine

  • Hyun Bin

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: Secret Garden

    Best Role (in my opinion):  Late Autumn (Movie) or Crash Landing On You

  • Han Ji Min

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: Rooftop Prince

    Best Role (in my opinion):  TBD because I haven't seen a lot of her work, but One Sprint Night stands out.

    She is so pretty and lovely...

  • Park Seo Joon

    Corea del Sud

    First Seen: She Was Pretty

    Best Role (in my opinion):  What's Wrong With Secretary Kim

    [<443]

    First Seen: Nee Sensei, Shiranai no? (2019)

    Best Role (in my opinion): 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii (2020) was a hugely successful series and showcased Eiji's comedic and endearing performance.

  • Jing Bo Ran

    Cinese

    First Seen: One Smile is Very Alluring (Movie 2016)

  • Simon Gong

    Cinese

    First Seen: The Love Equations (2020) 

    Best Role (in my opinion): TBD. He's still has a lot to grow into in terms of acting abilities so I'm sure his best is yet to come.

    Want To See Next: Begin Again (2020)

    I recommend you avoid his earlier works. He gets by with his puppy eyes but definitely still growing as an actor :)
