        Krystal's acting debut with "More Charming By The Day" could very well be considered one of the best idol actor debuts of all time.

Krystal maintains an endearing balance between innocence and naivete, and it is this quality that makes her character so charming.

        Netflix

        "Sweet & Sour" tells the story of a couple deeply in love who suddenly drift apart when a number of variables begin to interfere in their relationship. Jang Hyuk (Jang KiYong) grapples with keeping his professional and personal life afloat while his girlfriend Jeong DaEun (Chae SooBin) struggles with an unexpected pregnancy. The sweetness of their romance turns into a bittersweet farewell as boundaries are crossed, and honesty takes a back seat. Krystal plays Han BoYeong, Jang Hyuk's ambitious, independent and charming coworker who sways him into a romantic affair. She doesn't hesitate to speak her mind, and her intentions are never unclear. Han BoYeong lives for herself, and it is strangely inspiring to see her stick to her principles, regardless of the consequences.

         

        5. "Crazy Love" (K-Drama)

        Finally, this list would not be complete without Krystal's latest and arguably her best work yet, "Crazy Love". The duality she portrays as Lee ShinA, a timid secretary turned Lady Vengeance, speaks volumes of her protean talent. The way Krystal imbues her performance with studied nuance is deserving of high praise. Krystal truly has a knack for choosing incredible projects and "Crazy Love" is definitely one of them.
