Although the article for the actresses is done a year ago, even if I rank it again it won't be much different and may not add new actresses in the list, especially the top 10. Since the list is all-time MDLers' favs, so it's cumulative

I didn't put all dramas/movies in which the actors acted in or the article would've been super long and would be rejected by the editors, lol. I only put the ones they got official awards from, following the original idea from the female version's writer. He was nominated for some awards in SBS Drama Awards for Suspicious Partner, but didn't win. He got awards from Soompi tho, for the Best Kiss award with his co-actress Nam Ji Hyun.

I can tell from your pfp, lol... You must be excited with his upcoming drama then! One more day ;D

Personally I was surprised too, because I like him and watched a lot of his dramas/movies. He only gets 3926 likes.

It is called a countdown

Oooh ok... sorry about that! Thanks for clarifying.

I'm actually curious about Pachinko. Glad I caught that since technically it's not Korean made, I found it while reading comments in his profile page. Yeah, I double checked for other actors who currently doesn't have upcoming dramas too.

26 - L (Kim Myung Soo) ♡ 5,301
27 - V (Kim Tae Hyung) ♡ 5,031
28 - Woo Do Hwan ♡ 4,531
29 - Yeo Jin Goo ♡ 4,354
30 - Ok Taec Yeon ♡ 4,099

Hallyu King list, lol...

I won't write about them, some other writers will.

But Xin Yun Lai and Luo Yun Xi are Chinese not Korean... ;D
Actually Luo Yun Xi are in the top 10 C-actor I compiled sometime ago:
https://mydramalist.com/article/10-most-popular-chinese-actors-on-mdl-and-their-upcoming-projects

I actually listed the dramas or movies in which respective actors received awards in, not all their dramas or movies. Sometimes when I listed them I wondered why they didn't win in such and such dramas, also the other way around ;D

Yeah, listing their future dramas personally help me to find out which ones and anticipate some of them.

No, MDL's ranking doesn't match current reality, but it seems like more all time favorite. At least, since MDL was born... (2011).

There are several actors between Park Hae Jin and Song Kang. I ran more than 25 actually, probably 10 more just in case there are changes in ranking. But due to article limitation (and the original idea to follow up the actress part) I put only 25.

What are your favorites, I'm curious ;D

Yeah, I had to check all pages because for some odd reason the algorithm for the top actors (or actresses) for any country doesn't rank well. So there are top actors found in the beginning pages, then in the middle, etc. I checked all pages for my other articles for top actors from other countries, too. But the Korean database is the biggest!

I put Lee Jong Suk for the feature image, cos basically I'm a lazy writer. Instead of making a collage or something like that, I just put whoever is number 1, lol.

Thank you!

I saw that channel too, but I thought that was his company's channel and his personal channel is the one I put in the article. No?

Not MIA, just he gets 3826 likes for now, below Park Hae Jin who is #25, now with 5375 likes.

I have noticed that a lot of these actors in the list have acted in tons of dramas for so many years. Song Kang is still considered new in comparison to them. Give him some time and more popular dramas to act on ;D. Song Kang has 3826 likes and Yeo Jin Goo 4354 likes at this time.

Unfortunately, Im Si Wan has only 2670 and Kim Bum 4121 likes as for now. They need to act in more dramas ;D

Thank you! Any of your fave in the list?

oh ok... I'm glad you watched this, it's under-the-radar and underrated. You should also see Bai Jing Ting in Reset. It's a real good drama!
