Favorite Actors Based on Performances
I really like the way they present their characters, whether that means I think they're genuinely skilled as an actor, good at creating chemistry, or had a solid understanding of the character/role they're playing

Choi Woo Shik
Canadian
A triple hitter bay-bee~ This man's got it all, acting, chemistry, and depth of characters. The only things he's missing is to refine his taste in roles. His filmography feels a bit aimless, like I can't tell what his taste is like at the moment. And I think that's likely because he didn't really get to choose his roles so much in the past, but I'd like to see him get more picky in the future.

Inoue Sora
Japanese
A great actor, but I think sometimes there's a bit of pride that gets in the way of him studying a scene/character if the project doesn't vibe with him. He's great though and I love him. I have a feeling he'll get picky in his roles pretty quickly, so I'm looking forward to getting to know his taste.

Takahashi Issei
Japanese
Great actor. After playing so many roles, I think it gets hard to make each one feel unique, but he's very talented and does his best to give nuance to each character he plays.

Gong Hyo Jin
South Korean
I think she's starting to fall into acting patterns over time and has lost a bit of that character depth, but she is a great actor and has a fun way of building chemistry

Sakuma Ryuto
Japanese
I've only seen him in one show so far, but I'm very impressed. Looking forward to getting to know his other stuff.

Koseki Yuta
Japanese
Chemistry is fun and he usually has a great understanding of his characters. Not the best actor out there, but if you have chemistry and a good understanding of your character, the performance will usually still come out pretty good.

Im Joo Hwan
South Korean
He does a good job of portraying his characters in a unique way. I don't think there are many actors today who can give the performances he did. He's like a croissant, adding delicate layers to otherwise flat characters. I wouldn't say he's an amazing actor overall, but he his unique way of presenting characters makes me like him.

Kadowaki Mugi
Japanese
So cute as Saiko in Todome no Kiss. Also liked her mysterious character in Don't Call It Mystery. She's fun and a great performer.

Yamazaki Kento
Japanese
He's genuinely very good. I respect his popularity. Plus, with his choice in roles, you can tell he cares a lot about storytelling. I wouldn't be surprised if I learned he reads a ton of manga. There are some characters he plays that I think, "I cannot imagine anyone else successfully playing this role." And... honestly if you can say that about any actor, I think that just means they're good. Period.

Suda Masaki
Japanese
He's just so fun. Whoever casted for Todome no Kiss really killed iwth with Kadowaki Mugi, Yamazaki Kento, and Suda Masaki here. I like him in other works as well. He's just interesting and I like his choice in roles as well.
