My favourite Korean actors & actresses

The most versatile actor in Korea. Is there any role he won't take? Is there any role he can't absolutely nail? He's simply incredible ❤️

Da Mi is a whole mood. Her characters are often aloof and coldly antagonistic, with a secretly soft or cheeky side that she diligently conceals.

A master of the piercing glare & silent concerned stare. Kim Tae Ri is purely talented, she captures the fullness of her characters emotions like nobody else in cinema.

When PSJ turns up you know you're going on a journey and justice will ultimately prevail. He exemplifies single-minded determination and self sacrifice. Start with Itaewon class - it fully lives up to the hype!

Hye Eun is simply gorgeous and always adds a little bit of spice in supporting roles.

Such a versatile & dynamic actor he can even play multiple characters in the same drama. If I see him in the cast I will definitely watch - I will surely enjoy even the dryest of shows with Won Hae in a supporting role!

Nobody has a smile quite like Kim Seon Ho! Although he can portray a wide range of emotions, he seems to play a lot of emotionally distant but kind-hearted loners - which ultimately has to be explained by some tragedy or trauma because of course he's way too attractive to be so alone.

Go Ara has seemingly been typecast as a superficially ditzy cutie-pie who is in fact the most talented & competent member of the gang. For some reason I've seen her characters mistreated by the writers more than once, being unfairly sidelined partway through the show.

Both dramas I've watched with Lee Joo Young she's played characters which challenge the conservative gender stereotypes in Korea. As an actress I really admire her - I definitely need to watch a show with her in a lead role.

Nobody slays the wealthy and charming ML like Park Hyung Sik

He's cute and he cries a lot.
