Before looking at this list, you should know that my kind of drama are those who are not too complicated but not uneventful. I like characters that are human and I don't like characters who don't know what to do for 9 episodes, who are hurtful to their loved ones, who kiss with open eyes and above all, I HATE misunderstandings when they can be resolved with 2 words.
So most of the time, the actors I like the most are those who can portray normal people the best. But normal people doesn't mean boring people. Everyday people can be extra and nasty. I don't care if you're "less pretty" as long as you can be at least 3 dimensional and realistic.

Park Eun Bin

I just fell in love with her character and her genuine acting and the way she characterized Ji Won in Age of Youth. I was excited every time I saw her. Her simple and very relatable and believable characterization of Ji Won was just perfect.

Kim Ji Won

I love actors who can portray everyday people without making it look cheesy.
Ji Won can do that perfectly (Fight My Way) but she can play dramatic and overeacting characters without making them cheesy either watching her is just a pleasure as she can be anybody and still feel relatable.

Lee Sung Kyung
South Korean
This girl is so funny and her facial expressions are priceless. She can be a little bit irritating (Cheese in the trap: but that what her character is like so she did it perfectly) but she's always lovely and even when she's annoying, you can't help but love her.
She can play the antagonist or the protagonist, you'll still love her to the core.

Park Hyung Sik
South Korean
He IS a successful idol-turned-actor.
He can play the rich kid, he can play the dumb sidekick, he can play the lover, he can play the good son and he can make you laugh and cry in a second.
He played in one of my favorite dramas "What's happening to my family" and he is also part of why I absolutely love this drama.
This drama made me think he is such a good actor because he could act such hard scenes. he can act jealous, angry, sad, desperate, helpless, happy, surprised and more.
He truly is a good actor.

Park Seo Joon
South Korean
I didn't watch a lot of his dramas.
I really didn't like she was pretty, but that was because of Hwang Jung Eum (I really don't like her acting, she cringes me so much). But when Fight My Way went out I was so in love with this drama, I don't understand why he doesn't have more roles like this one. He's stuck with the pretty boy image when he can be hilarious and silly. Just Fight My Way made me like him that much to put him in this list.
Like I said before, I didn't watch many of his dramas so feel free to prove me wrong if there's any dramas where he doesn't play "the pretty boy"

Jung So Min
South Korean
i remember the first time I saw her face. It was in playful kiss and I just started to take a liking in Korean dramas so her face was just so funny to me, idk, the first scene when her face was up close, I just straight up laughed.
I don't remember what I thought of playful kiss but what I know is that she grew up so much to become the actress she is now.
And in the same year, she went from the stereotyped shy girl (which I loved) in My father is strange (I'm so happy that she is real with Lee Jooooooon) to the grown woman with no love experience and a lot of philosophical thoughts in Because this is my first life. I loved both and she portrayed both perfectly.
The young girl that made me laugh with just a wide smile at the beginning of Playful kiss has become a wonderful and talented woman.
Looking forward to her next works.

Nam Joo Hyuk
South Korean
tbh I loved him only because of WFKBJ x)
I didn't really like habaek idk what the name is (i watched 1 episodes) but I don't think it's because of his acting, the drama was just a bit boring to me.
I WFKBJ and Cheese in the trap he played a more easygoing role and I loved it.
He's an awesome boy-next-door and that's the side of him I love.

Kim Seul Gi

This girl is always the funny one so that image was stuck in my head but she can actually act and she IS pretty! I don't understand why she doesn't have more impactful roles.
