All K-Drama fans know Kim Bum’s adorable character in “Boys Over Flowers”, and most have followed his career ever since then. While he has shown versatility in dramas like “Tail of the Nine Tailed”, “Law School” and “Ghost Doctor”, his acting never gets old because he always brings something fresh to every character he plays. Such a sign of a great actor can’t obviously be ignored, and so fans are always eager to see what drama he’s playing in next.

2. Lee JongSuk

What we can say with confidence is that Lee JongSuk’s characters always hit and never miss. His array of character dynamics have caught fans attention through dramas such as “School 2013”, “While You Were Sleeping”, “W”, “Romance Is A Bonus Book”, even up until “Big Mouth”. He has shown just how deeply and similarly humourously he can get when playing a role, and fans absolutely love his dedication to the art of acting.

3. Seo InGuk

We’re almost tempted to say Seo InGuk is one of the designated hot actors in their 30s, and we’re sure you’d agree. After seeing him play heartthrob of versatile characters in dramas like “Reply 1997”, “The Smile Has Left Your Eyes”, “Doom At Your Service”, “Shopping King Louis”, and “Café Minamdang”, you just have to agree that he's a mesmerizing actor. If you’ve seen the K-Movie “Project Wolf Hunting”, you might’ve fallen for his intensity of his character there, too. This actor is just very talented at playing the role to the best of his able abilities, and also making you love the character— and him— as well. “”

4. Jung HaeIn

We think it’s safe to say that Jung HaeIn plays a lot of sentimental roles in dramas. His characterisation as the gentle, reserved yet no-nonsense male lead in “Something In The Rain”, “One Spring Night”, “D.P.”, “Snowdrop” and K-movie “Tune In For Love” has continuously hooked drama watchers and viewers over the years. He almost always plays that one character you can’t help but empathize with, and he plays them so well. We’ll definitely be looking forward to more of his dramas, to empathize with his character if anything.

5. Wi HaJun

Actor Wi HaJun’s success over the years hasn’t gone unnoticed by fans and drama viewers. Right from his groundbreaking appearance in “Squid Game” to his roles in “Romance is a Bonus Book”, “Bad and Crazy”, “Little Women”, and now recently concluded “The Worst of Evil”, this actor has stolen the spotlight. After gaining the well-deserved recognition for his chill approach to acting, his roles have been only phenomenal after phenomenal. It’s always exciting to see this man appear on screen, and time is only in his favor as he climbs up the ladder of acting success.

From being a member of the 2nd gen boy group 2PM to becoming an in-demand actor, TaeCyeon has made quite the seamless transition. Even when we— and 2PM fans— love to see him sing and dance and be a funny and charismatic idol in the group, we also love his work on the big screen. Evidence of his success in acting is seen in dramas such as “Dream High”, “Vincenzo”, “Blind” and “Secret Royal Inspector & Joy”. He's shown just how much he can grow and improve as an actor, and we’re definitely here to support that.
