Top 10 Best Drama Actors from South Korea
Kim Hyun-Joong is a South Korean entertainer, actor, singer, dancer, and the leader and main rapper of boyband SS501. I like Kim Hyun-joong because he always tries his best at everything he does, and it shows! I love the sound of his voice when he sings. It has that beautiful sound that feels unique, and I love it! His performances on stage are magical, just like his voice.
I love his acting. I've watched his work for many years, and I've enjoyed all of it.
The last drama I saw him in was Inspiring Generation, where he was simply awesome! It was an award-winning performance!
Lee Min-ho is a South Korean actor and singer. He first gained widespread fame in Korea and parts of Asia with his role as Gu Jun-pyo in Boys Over Flowers in 2009. The role won him a Best New Actor award at the 45th Baeksang Arts Awards. How can somebody act so naturally? He embodies all of the characters he has played. Handsome, charismatic, with a lot of charm, sensual but tender. I do not know what I like the most about him. Probably his eyes, so intense, expressive, and beautiful. Or just the fact that he is. I love all of his characters and dramas without exception. For this, he is quite unique.
I started watching Korean shows in the last six months. My girlfriend is from the Philippines and is the one who told me how good the Korean acting was. Being an American, I never viewed other nationality shows. So I checked it out, and she was so right. Through my viewing, I came across Lee Min-ho. He is not only good looking, but his singing ability and acting is superb! So yes, he is #1 in my books!

Having watched several of Kim Soo-hyun's dramas such as Moon Embracing the Sun, Dream High, You Who Came from the Star, and Producers, as well as his movies Secretly Greatly and The Thieves, I can say that he is versatile and portrays his role as if he is truly that person. In every drama or movie he's in, you can feel the sincerity of the character.
Not only that, but Kim Soo-hyun is also a very dignified, humble, and compassionate man who is willing to give his all to repay the people who support him. He never forgets to thank his family and fans. He is really a good example not only as an actor but also as a person.
I hope we could still see his marvelous acting skills and youthful face after he fulfills his enlisting in the military.
I admire Kim Soo-hyun a lot, and I hope many people will also see and appreciate his hard work. Kudos to Kim Soo-hyun!
Jang Keun-suk is a multi-talented entertainer who can act, sing, and dance very well. He is also a good MC and DJ because his witty and funny comments and his sexy deep voice always make the program more interesting. He possesses a great body and handsome face, which is why he is selected for modeling, many magazine shoots, and lots of commercial presentations.
He is a versatile actor who can express deep emotions through his eyes, no matter what role he plays. He is very professional in everything he does. His incredible talents and intelligence impressed me a lot. I wish people would look into his work deeply. To me, Jang Keun-suk is my favorite and the best Korean actor.
Kim Bum is very handsome and so hot! When I showed him to the American girls, they think he is beautiful! They said that among Asian guys, no one is better looking than him. Kim Bum is a good actor. He chooses difficult roles for his dramas and expresses different sides of his personality. Also, he is such a good singer with a nice, strong voice. I've seen him play piano, guitar, and saxophone.
Overall, he is very talented and one of the most popular Korean actors.
The smile of Kim Bum just blows me away. He's the cutest South Korean actor. I loved him in Boys Before Flowers with Kim So Eun. They make a beautiful couple. I'm still waiting for their lead role movie. If I were 10 years younger, I would want to wake up to that smile every day! Wake up, Kim So Eun!
The actors in the top spots have a recurring voting reason of he's hot and he's handsome by these American fangirls who don't understand the film/acting industry and instead base their votes on someone's jawline.
Song Kang Ho is a real actor. He can copy real emotion and paint it as if he were a spectacular artist painting a canvas. He will always have my respect as an astoundingly talented actor, and not just someone praised for his good looks, but his talent also.
He's charming and likeable, and his acting range is astonishing. He can play the comedic goofball or the principled cop with remarkable skill.
Lee Joon-gi is so much more than just a pretty face. He is what is known as a triple threat in the entertainment world. He can act, dance, and sing! He pours himself into each role he takes on. He is one of a very few actors who is actually invested in his craft.
He chooses challenging roles and commits completely to them. His comic timing is excellent and his ability to make you feel his characters' internal conflict and pain is second to none. His smile brings joy and his tears convey deep wells of sorrow.
What I admire about him is the way he treats his fans. He knows that without them, he would not be on the stage of being a famous Korean actor. He is so down to earth and at the same time, he has a baby face. His smile and killer looks will definitely knock you down, and he is really very good in his craft, whether in acting, dancing, or singing. I wonder what else he can offer for his fans.
My favorite actress ever is Ha Ji-won! Every single one of her dramas and movies were so awesome, especially Empress Ki. She has done pretty much all genres possible: Medical, Action, Historical, Romantic Comedy, Thriller, and Horror. She does every single genre with perfection and plays roles with a lot of passion and effort.
My favorite Korean actor is Joo Jin-mo because he is not on this list so after him my favorite Korean actress is Ha Ji-won because I saw the Korean historical TV series "Empress Ki". I became a big fan of Joo Jin-mo and Ha Ji-won and other cast members.
I like T.O.P in Iris as he acted as a hunter who wanted to kill all Iris characters. He should be number one. His evil eyes and his skills give him some badass power.
T.O.P is an excellent actor, rapper, and singer. An art collector. He is doing Sotheby's on October 3rd. Extremely handsome.
T.O.P... You're the best actor with your evil eyes.
So Ji-sub has some serious acting chops. He is very subtle but deadly effective. He is one of those actors that pays enough attention to details - from the way the characters talk right down to the way they walk. Every character he has played to date has distinctive characteristics that define and separate them. This only shows that he can be quite versatile.
Couple that with his good looks and charisma - you have a beautiful package of an actor in Ji Sub. He is one of South Korea's most precious leading actors the country should be proud to have.
Lee Seung-gi is the reason why I care about Korean culture in the first place. If I hadn't discovered him that fateful day I randomly browsed TV channels and came across him in 1n2d, I'd probably have lost interest in anything Hallyu. I did watch him in Shining Inheritance before that, which is also the first drama to make me go absolutely crazy for it. It's how I recognized him.
He has many talents that lead me to explore things related to acting, singing, and variety shows. His smile is as bright as a hundred suns!
Lee Seung-gi's acting is very good. Every time there's a hug scene and he is the male lead, I really want to be the female lead. I can feel his love and warmth. He's also very handsome and a smile killer. He's cute and a calm person.
I love many actors but he's on my list of favorite actors. He is also very smart and very talented. I envy Im Yoona from Girls' Generation who is dating him right now. I am so jealous of her! Well, I hope all the best for you, Lee Seung-gi! I love you!
He could act even with only his facial reactions. A very good actor who has been neglected so far.
Kwon Sang-woo's acting is very natural, cool, and his style is very comfortable. Stairway to Heaven, Sad Love Story, Into the Sun, Cinderella Man… It's my favorite drama.
I started watching Korean films in 2009 with Jumong and since then, I've loved to watch any film that featured Oppa! He's a great actor! Loads of love to you, sir!
I loved him in Rooftop Prince. It was really great. He acts with emotion, and it shows. Among all Korean actors, he is my favorite. He has a cute, childish but sometimes mature and wise aura about him. I just go crazy! I liked Sungkyukwan Scandal, but in Rooftop Prince, his acting was way better. I Miss You was a bit too much crying for me. I found myself laughing while watching serious scenes, which is weird. Anyway, he is the best drama actor out there, and I'll look forward to his future works. I love you, Yoochun!
I've seen most of his dramas, and his acting skills are really amazing. He portrays his characters well, regardless of the role he takes. Unlike most famous actors who stick to good-looking, charming, sweet, and rich guy roles, Yoo Ah-in is definitely one of a kind.
He takes on roles with flaws that might not give him the best popularity but still carries them well. The way he acts allows audiences to share a deep connection with the character he's portraying. Sure, some of his dramas may have bad endings, but I do not think being a good actor means choosing a drama with a good ending that would please everyone.
His acting skills are great, no doubt. Even in the badly criticized dramas, he performed really well. I was charmed not only by his talent in acting but also by his depth as a person. He's intellectual and inspiring, an actor who's not just acting for fame but who wants to make a positive difference in the industry.
He's a hottie. He may play the bad boy role all his life, but he will be the one I love most compared to any protagonist leading actors. You rock, man!
Ridiculous. Kim Woo-bin number 29? Yeah, right. You guys don't appreciate talent.
He is one of the best in Korea. He can act well and he portrays his roles with passion and feeling. He is also very cute.
One of the best drama actors I've seen. The way he acts is just so captivating.
He is very handsome and a talented actor. His eyes are full of emotions. He does wonderful work.
Ji Sung is one of the best actors. Kill Me Heal Me would be one of the best dramas I've ever seen because of how amazingly he portrayed the main lead with seven multiple personas.
Ji Sung should be number one on the best South Korean actors of today's time. I loved the drama series "Secret" especially. No matter what drama he makes, it won't disappoint you!
Dude, I don't know why he is at number 46. He's probably one of the most capable actors in the industry!
Versatile actor and extremely good looking. He's mesmerizing to watch because he's so talented.
Chang Wook is my number one. After watching Healer, I couldn't watch anything else for a while. He is just something else. Incredible actor!
He played his role in "Empress Li" very well. Thanks to him, I loved watching it. Besides that, he's also very handsome.
