Most Talented Korean Actresses

A list of Korean actresses I find most talented. This is a list of how I objectively rank my favorite actresses based on acting skills. Note that if an actress is at the bottom of the list, it doesn't mean that I find her acting bad, just that I think the ones above her acts and performs better (in my opinion). 

The first roles are the first roles I've seen the actor in, the representative role is the first character and drama that I think of when the actor is mentioned. There is only representative role for each actor except Kim Yoo Jung and Kim So Hyun (have to put their Moon Embracing the Sun characters too since I will always see them as a quartet with Yeo Jin Goo and Lee Tae Ri ).

*Disclaimer: This is just my opinion. This list doesn't mean it's real. This is only real for me
