Having watched most of the sageuk (dramas and movies), that's actually a tough question, because it's both highly subjective depending on someone tastes, and also because regardless of the quality of the story of a sageuk, the quality of the costumes and makeup is always topknot so it's not easy.
I agree with Park Ha Su in "Dong Yi". But choosing just one is quite impossible. ^^
Here are my favourites for sageuk dramas:
Park Min Young as Princess Nak Rang in "Ja Myung Jo"
Ha Ji Won as Seung Nyang in "Empress Ki"
Kang Han Na as Yoo Jung in "Bloody Heart"
And for sageuk movies:
Song Hye Kyo as Jin Yi in "The Legendary Courtesan Hwang Jin Yi"
Han Hyo Joo as Queen Joong Jun in "Masquerade"
Kang Han Na as Ga Hui in "Empire of Lust"
