Which are your own fav actors and actresses?

yeah,am gonna list mine starting with actresses.

my favorite k actresses according to their acting skills:
1.Ha ji won(my best actress ever, i loved her in secret garden and empress ki and she has chemistry with all her male costars)
2.gong hyo jin( i loved her in its okay thats love.she is my favorite in the drama, she may not be a looker but you cant deny that she can act).
3.jun ji hyun(she is my favorite in my love from another star.she made me watch the drama)
4.song hye kyo(i loved her in the winter the wind blows with jo in sung. she has great acting chops)
5. park min young( i loved her in city hunter and healer, she has chemistry with her costars especially with ji chang wook and seems like a nice person). thats all, am gonna list most beautiful k actresses next.

most beautiful korean actresses in my own opinion:
1.kang so ra she is the female lead in misaeng. this girl is the most beautiful korean actress i have ever seen and she has a nice shape.)
2.kim tae hee(the lead girl from iris,she is beautiful but i dont think she can act).
3.im yoonathe lead in love rain, the girl has a very beautiful face.)
4.ha ji wonyeah,ha ji won is not the most beautiful k actress but her acting makes her beautiful in my eyes and she seems likeable.)
5.jin se yeon( the lead girl in bridal mask, i cant deny the girl is beautiful,though she cant act , she still has room for improvement and she is very young.

my favorite male actors according to their acting skills:
1.hyun bin: i have loved this boy since secret garden and my lovely kim sam soon. he has great charisma and manly appeal. he has great acting skills.
2.ji chang wook:i love this boy so much. i first saw him in empress ki which led me to watching healer. he can act.
3.song joon ki: i loved him in innocent guy.he can act.
4.lee min ho: yeah lee min ho is my best korean actor but he is not the best actor. he has his charisma and looks going for him. he still needs improvement in acting.
5.joo won: i loved him in bridal mask and level 7 civil servant.he is a good actor.

the most handsome korean actors in my own opinion:
1.lee min ho: yeah, he is the most handsome k actor in my own opinion. boys before flowers was the first kdrama i watched and i said;wow, this boy is handsome, i later watched city hunter and i fell in love with him. city hunter is my best lee min ho drama,he is so handsome in the drama and has so much charisma. another thing that makes him attractive is that he has this intense stare that sends me over the edge.hmmm! seems i will stop here.
2.ji chang wook: yeah ji chang wook is very handsome and he is a better actor than lee min ho.he has a very beautiful smile and smiling makes him more handsome.
3.won bin: he is an older actor, born in 1977. he is the most handsome older k actor. i watched his movie ajeossi(a man from nowhere) and his mini drama "friends".
4. hyun bin : he is handsome and i love his dramas
5. jang geun suk: he is handsome.i like his drama" you are beautiful". wow i cant believe i typed so much.

hilda90:
most beautiful korean actresses in my own opinion:
3.im yoonathe lead in love rain, the girl has a very beautiful face.)

My elder brother says she's the most beautiful Korean he has ever seen, lol. But she has a bit of bow legs and it's obvious whenever she wears those black stockings.
Then again, most of them have bow legs, and my theory is that it is as a result of how they fold their legs and sit down on the ground.

My day was good, thanks. I'll check out Fool's Love, wonder why I haven't heard anything about it. I try to keep my finger on the K-drama pulse even though I might not watch everything that comes out.

I will wait a bit for Shine or Go Crazy. If possible till it closes. I enjoyed Healer in a flowing marathon and thank goodness I have no regrets jare

So disappointed in Hyde Jekyll Me. Was so looking forward to Hyun Bin on screen again but it falls flat at ep 3 and I don't even want to continue. I hear it picks up from ep 8 but who's going to stick around for that. I blame the female lead. She was so washy in Rooftop Prince and almost ruined it. She does NOT know how to act imo.

Thinking of picking up That Winter The Wind Blows, I'm sort of missing Zo In-sung's face And my second ever crush Kim Bum is there too, so it's win-win for me.

Looking forward to any more of your recommendations

Ok, just found out that Fool's Love is also known as Ho-Goo's Love which I've definitely heard about. The lead guy is that cute face one from Rooftop Prince Maybe I'll check out one episode at least. I'm not so familiar with that network (tVn) but they do make unique dramas so let's see how it goes.

i noticed yoona 's bow legs when i watched love rain though it is not that bad. i dont think it is because of folding her legs, i think she was born that way. people are born with bow legs. wow, your brother thinks yoona is the prettiest k actress, my own brother thinks kim tae hee is the prettiest, he was gushing about her when we were watching iris together. for me it is kang so ra, she is so beautiful and looks like a westerner.

Good evening people. @Aida13, KallmemrB, Hilda90 and Shokky23. How are y'all doing?
I'm still waiting for your list @Aida13, as you have good taste.

Trivia - you know the song played in healer?- the one with beats, no lyrics that was played when Healer was climbing out of the damaged lift with Yongshin. I used it as my alarm tune, and it's so awesome waking up each morning to the song.

sup atk aghassi....how was ur day....am not a fan of healer so i dont really know the OSTs....


Eugene is the most beautiful actress....

i dont really know who to choose for guy but the lead cop in fugitive plan b and 100 years inheritance is kinda ok

The bow leg thing isn't just restricted to Yoona, although I noticed it in her first. I've noticed it in a few Koreans, and I still think it's their way of sitting.
I just checked out Kang So Ra. Isn't she the Dream High 2 girl? She's pretty.

I'm starting my list off today lol nothing fancy, just little snips about actors I totally bias!!! Thanks for commending my taste, that means a lot!


OK, the Healer OST. All I can say is OMGGG. I'm listening to it all effing day since I started watching Healer.

There are only four songs I know of. Two have English lyrics. When You Hold Me Tight by Yael Meyer and Eternal Love by Michael Learns To Rock (MLTR)

The other two are awesome! I find myself bursting out singing Never gonna let you goooo out of nowhere and everyone gives me that side eye look

Gosh. I'm just so pumped about Healer. I was setting myself up to be disappointed after episode one but it got so much better. I think the magic of having a great drama - have more than 4 or 5 other stimulating characters. Just don't depend on the 2 main leads to carry the show. To me, all the other actors also contributed. From their 'uncle' mentor news guy, to the Ahjumma, Healer's teacher, the guys at the Coffee Bay...lol I'm not so good with memorizing the names of characters. Even the guys at the security firm SS were so funny

Phew don't get me going on Healer ooo. One of the few dramas I felt refreshed after watching. Not those ones you will cry cry till the end and just feel drained when the drama is over.

Very happy for Ji Chang Wook - he needed a fab comeback after Empress Ki. Because when you play an Emperor role you can't just go downhill from there, right? You have to keep winning Now if only Ha Ji Won will do a saguek drama soon...

My Top 5 K-drama male leads


Lee Jun Ki aka Lee Joon-gi

For me it's Lee Jun Ki and then other actors

It's been a year since I started watching K-dramas and Lee Jun Ki in Arang and the Magistrate was my first ever taste of the wonderful world of K-dramas. From the first scene closeup of his face I was like BLAM! Unforgettable eyes and he's such a smooth, effortless actor. And he can fight some hot martial arts scenes!

His defining roles for me are:

- King and Clown --- wow, awesome acting here. I just couldn't deal with how good he was here. You guys NEED to check out this film, one of his first major breakout roles

- Arang and the Magistrate ---- No drama has ever struck me like this one. Maybe Kang Chi Gu Family Book was close. But this drama is one of kind and I'm happy it was my first because it encouraged me to watch more K-dramas. Imagine if I'd started with a rubbish one

- Gunman in Joseon ----- His chemistry with his female leads just slays me. This one was no exception. Their love was just so powerful to watch. And Lee Jun Ki plays the hero so well, you don't care about much else about the drama

*** I'm looking forward to completing more of his dramas, such as Iljimae, My Girl and Two Weeks. But I really want to see him in more saguek/historical dramas.

He's in his early thirties and isn't one of those 90's babies Hallyu stars reigning now . But he gives a solid performance every time so I believe he'll still be around for a long while, getting those big roles. I wish him the best!

My other Top Five actors in no particular order;

Joo Won

Defining roles---- Good Doctor, Bridal Mask, Tomorrow's Cantabile

He was mesmerizing in all three of the above named dramas. I don't care much about whether he's the most 'hot' or 'gorgeous' by Hallyu standards but this guy can spark up the screen. I really liked him in Tomorrow's Cantabile and how he always looked like a well-dressed sculpture Almost too perfect hahha.

Park Yoo Chun

Defining roles - Sungkyunkwan Scandal, Rooftop Prince

He really pulled off his role in this drama (Sungkyunkwan Scandal). So very believable as a stiff-necked genius-type guy I can't get over how he mooned over his love interest. His emotions whether hard or soft just strikes my imagination. I'm planning on watching more of his dramas/movies. He's funny in Rooftop Prince though I was afraid to really like it too much. But when around his friends he really shone so it was all good. Can't wait to see him with a really good female lead to bring out the best in his acting.

Also, he's actually one of the few actors who've received awards in every drama/movie he's done. Now that's awesome

Ji Chang-wook

Defining roles ----- Warrior Baek Dong Soo, Empress Ki, Healer


I'll be lying to myself if I didn't include him on my top 5 list. He's one of those actors who get better with each drama. I hope that trend continues for him after Healer.

He was fun to watch in Warrior Baek Dong Soo. And then he upped his game in Empress Ki. He made me laugh, yell and then cry at the screen all through his scenes. He's an actor that made crying look so cool Watching him grieve over Sunyang was so cute and emotive. While in Healer, he matured a lot. Gave us a meatier role to remember him for. I hope he stays focused and selects his dramas this well in future. He's definitely earned his space in my top fave actors ever.

Happily, he has something new coming up again in 2015 - - - - the upcoming film "Two Constables". He won't be the sole main actor but still, he's going to get his chance to shine and I can't wait!

Winding down to mentioning the fifth of my top 5 actors I just thought it wouldn't be fair to name just one.

So I grouped up my top hot actors known as the "Eye-Candy Set" who just make my screen sizzle. But happen to have just one drama or so that I liked them in. Hopefully I can make a solid decision on number 5 soon, but till then enjoy just please don't judge me

lol


Okayyyyy drumroll...

The following smexy actors who make the group of my 'fifth' top 5 fave:

Zo In-sung ---- It's Ok That's Love (just, omg. He's flawless)

So Ji-sub ---- Master's Sun (This guy's effortlessly cool and hot - lol if that's possible)

Hyun Bin ---- Secret Garden (known to possess possibly the best b u t t , in K-drama world)

Lee Sang-yoon ---- Angel Eyes, Goddess of Fire (good golly those dimples )

Jo Hyun-jae ---- Su Baek Hyang King's Daughter (Mr. JHJ is the ultimate male lead. The end)


*** All together they're tied in to make the fifth member of my Top 5 k-drama all-stars. They're commendable as actors in their own right but trust me, when I watch these guys I don't much focus on their acting ability What can I say, girls like their eye candy too.

I hope the list appeals to a majority out there. Though it's all about personal taste really so I can't expect others to agree with my views. I just know that I've watched a lot of dramas over the last year but these guys have made their impact. I look forward to discovering more awesome actors who make watching K-dramas worthwhile.

Peace

The Healer song isn't really listed among the OST. It's titled 'Highlight'.

Thanks for reminding me about Highlight - went and found it, love the harmony. Lots of strings (guitar?) and lots of piano. Really can picture this as a great wake-up call in the morning. Or maybe for sending me to sleep----lol it's already in my K-drama playlist now along with the rest of the OST. Just for the memories I'll be listening to it, even with no lyrics

sorry to cut ur post short.
Wookie also sang an ost for healer. "I ll protect you".
healer has destroyed all Ma taste for k-dramas.
whenever I watch other shows with love triangles,second lead syndrome,noble idiocy,break-ups,dead fish kisses...I just roll ma eyes.
healer has none of that. it's ma best drama for 2015. I'm still going tru withdrawals.
I hope wookie does another drama before he goes to d army next yr.

@ellab

I'm discovering new music from the OST for Healer, like the instrumentals named Highlight as well as the song "Lonely". So thanks for adding another one. Since it's "Wookie" I'll definitely go look for it ASAP. I need to know if my bae can sing as well as he can act

@ dead fish kisses....**faints**

@ love triangles, noble idiocy, second lead syndrome--- you are so on point lol. I just noticed Healer had none of that. They just had so many other great characters you couldn't help rooting for. I'm just still in a daze because it was all so freaking good.

I guess you're one of the group that watched Healer as an ongoing series. So you felt all the magic of following it week by week, reading recaps and checking out the fan sites. I missed all that **sad face** lol

Maybe that's why you're getting those withdrawal symptoms I for one, am just thankful to have seen one good drama this first quarter of 2015.

The writers, PD and just the whole team that worked on Healer, deserve massive props. I honestly liked this 200% more than that Pinocchio everyone raves about.


Oh, and I still think Wookie's Emperor role in Empress Ki is my favorite to date. Him as Healer is a very close second. I just love his chemistry with Ha Ji Won. Now he's shown us he can play cute, hot, tough and funny all in one drama. So awesome.

And that's such a dreamy pic of him. THANK you.

oh yes,I followed it weekly.Watched it raw(without subs).lol 1st drama to make me do that.
was watching pinnochio but stopped halfway cuz of healer. hehehe. reading updates on puppy(wookie),his plans,everything.No be normal life be dis aswear.
healer ain't "makajang-y" where u ve to be sorrowful.That's y internationally,it's very popular.

@ellab and Aida13 there is a Wookie OST from Empress Ki. 'To the butterfly' check it out.
I'm a fan of actors that can sing e.g my first ever real K crush Kim Jae Joong, and Joo Won.

Yeah those makjangs are the worst with their ridiculous storylines to keep us hooked in spite of ourselves

ugh, you just keep slaying me with these Wookie images

I feel like wringing my own arm for avoiding Healer until it ended. Missed all the mega shipping especially on Soompi. I was just so reluctant to watch Ji Chang Wook after Empress Ki in case he ruined the memory of the adorable Emperor.

Lol I'm sure I'd have been even worse than you if I'd been onto Healer when it was airing. And for you guys calling him Puppy, damn that is so on point for him. I keep saying thank you but seriously, THANK you for just understanding what Healer means to many of us

Seriously?? To the butterfly...I have it somewhere on my PC, never dreamed it was Wookie!! Ugh, have to dig it out and listen pronto.

Joo Won---watched a vid of him singing Bridal mask OST at the KBS awards and I was just. Wow. I didn't even know many of these guys could sing. Then I saw Hyun Bin singing Secret Garden OST (That Man song) and I went googoo again

Oh, then I saw Lee Jun Ki do a hip hop dance rountine on YouTube once. Totally killed it and me
