Favourite Actors

Ji Chang Wook

Sul-coreano

Ji Chang Wook, my first drama, Healer, started with you.

JCW has always been my unbeatable and unchanging favourite actor. To find out he was going to the military broke my heart because I realised how much I was going to miss him, the man that genuinely got me to love dramas as much as I do. Sometimes when I hear his voice, or see a clip of him, I begin to cry. 

Lee Joon Gi

Sul-coreano

Lee Joon Gi, the first drama which broke my heart, was because of you in Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo.

I would be lying if I didn't say that I think Lee Joon Gi is the best actor on this list. Ji Chang Wook is, of course, my favourite actor, but never have I found an actor as talented as Lee Joon Gi. To top off his brilliant acting, this man is undeniably incredibly hot- I just can't.. such a close second place! He has talent that you do not see in many actors, which has lasted as he is still acting as main male leads and rocking them. Give Lee Joon Gi any sort of role and he can play it flawlessly - truly incredible.

Ye Sung

Sul-coreano

My ultimate bias Yesung secures himself a place on this list. Although I can't place him here solely on acting ability, because of course, whilst he has indeed acted a number of times, I cannot lie and say that his skills are at the same level as other actors on this list. However, I cannot help but put him on this list, being my ultimate bias and having the most beautiful voice in the world, singing and speaking, he has what I would say an 'honourable mention' on my list. 

Please do indulge yourself in his solo music, as well as just appreciate him for how talented, ambitious and genuine he, Kim Jongwoon, truly is.

Yoon Shi Yoon

Sul-coreano

I had first seen Yoon Shi Yoon in Hit the Top, which is one of his more recent dramas.

After doing so, I found myself binge-watching various of his other dramas, as well as the variety show he is part of '2 Days 1 Night' which is extremely funny and worth a watch. Whilst I have many more of his famous dramas to see, ready in my plan to watch list, I cannot help but admire him for his style of acting. Donggu has tackled main lead roles which are much less common - happy and bubbly ones (Enrique Geum is a prime example), compared to our usual cold and distant anti-hero whose heart is melted by the female heroine (though he has indeed played roles like this before). He has a very fresh and emotive style of acting that I extremely enjoy. 

Seo In Guk

Sul-coreano

SEO. IN. GUK. 

Oh my god, if anyone brings up his name I start jumping up and down, you actually have no idea how much I love this man. The first drama I saw him in was Shopping King Louie - a very cute drama which I greatly enjoyed. However, in spite of this, the drama I truly fell in love with Seo In Guk is, without a doubt, Reply 1997, which currently holds the number one spot in my favourite dramas list.

Seo In Guk is an absolutely incredible actor, who can easily play characters with all kinds of personality. The scene in Reply 1997, when (spoiler) Yoonjae confesses is an absolutely brilliant scene which made me erupt in tears due to a mixture of emotions.  On top of that, he is a high quality meme and I enjoy each and every one of him in Shopping King Louis making that face about the spider lmao

Park Seo Joon

Sul-coreano

I first witnessed Park Seo Joon in the drama 'She Was Pretty', which I, unfortunately, dropped towards the end. However, this was absolutely not caused by Seo Joon's acting, which I enjoyed, but was more that the main female lead's acting was not to my taste per say. Moreover, having Si Won as the most heartbreaking second lead was torturous for me. Honestly, put any Super Junior member in that position and I will sob on the stairs for hours.

Anyway, more about Park Seo Joon. I have seen quite a few dramas with him included, and I must say that, as the years go by, his acting improves more and more. A great drama to highlight this is 'Secretary Kim' - his most recent drama since me writing this.  The role of the narcissistic vice-president Lee Young Joon is an incredibly difficult role to take on, and he handled it perfectly. Seo Joon takes on a variety of roles and has played them all well so he has a well-deserved place on this list.
