❤️ {Favourite} Actors/Actresses to watch

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

Yang Yang

[<443]

Want To See Next: Take Me To The Moon where she teams up with Jasper Liu.

Darren Wang

Jing Bo Ran

Cinese

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

Best Role (in my opinion):  TBD. Us and Them was really heartbreaking, but he has plenty of historical dramas I haven’t seen.

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 :)
