my favorite korean actresses — ;’)

Park Bo Young

South Korean

besides Ha Ji won and IU she is one of the first Korean actresses I ever watched the kdramaworld, and there’s no denying she’s got some serious acting talent and I’m happy shes my #1 and she’s gotten so many roles in both film & tv, just watch one of PBY’s shows or films and you’ll understand why she’s one of the best actresses in South Korea, her acting can go from “over-the-top to quiet shy girl“ in like 5 mins, it’s incredible ...

• strong woman do bong soon
• a werewolf boy
• the silenced 
• oh my ghostess 
• on your wedding day
• hot young bloods 

Park Min Young

South Korean

I’m so damn curious of who hasn’t heard of Min young? like, this woman has never been in a completely terrible drama, she knows how to pick em’ as well as her male costars ... LMAO she’s acted alongside LMH, JCW & PSJ, wth did she do in her past life to achieve this sksks??? honestly what I love about her acting, is her duality and natural acting abilities, none of her roles have felt forced to me, and she will always be one of the greats imo, please watch her works, you won’t regret it ;)

watch —

• what’s wrong with secretary kim?
• healer 
• when the weather is fine (heard good things about this one, its a slow burn so be ready for that)
• her private life
• queen for seven days
• city hunter 

Ha Ji Won

South Korean

be honest, this woman ruled the kdramaworld for a time lol (I mean she does in Empress Ki sooo lol) love her, and she’s also had luck with her male costars, but her acting is always chef’s kiss, and it’s never over the top imo, her drama choices are always the bomb.com, so take the time out of your life to watch her works, you won’t regret how much ass she‘s kicked in her dramas lol.

watch —

• empress ki (ult fav of hers)
• king2hearts
• secret garden 
• duelist 
• chocolate 
• phone
• as one

Gong Hyo Jin

South Korean

now if there’s an actress who knows how to pick diverse roles and hardly ever play like the same role twice it‘s this woman, damn, her resume is really something ... and I don’t see her on a lot of favs lists .. why? LOL she’s got the power!!! and there’s never been a role I watched her in where Ive been disappointed :’)

watch —

• when the camellia blooms
• master’s sun (my ult fav of hers)
• it’s okay, that’s love (heard this ones good :’)
• jealousy incarnate 
• thank you 
• missing 

Hwang Jung Eum

South Korean

I know quite a few people who found her acting to be cringy and over-the-top, completely disagree with this and it depends on the role she plays, not all of her roles are cringy, especially her role in “secret” I’ll recommend that drama anyday, like ... wow, she’s great actress!

watch —

• secret
• kiss me, heal me
• mystic pop-up bar
• she was pretty

Song Ji Hyo

South Korean

another great actress, who has quite the acting range, I’d love to see her in some more thrillers because after “intruders,” I’m convinced she can play anything lol, from historicals to rom-coms she’s also got the rep :’)

watch —

• intruder
• lovely horribly
• jumong
• goong
• codename: jackal 

Son Ye Jin

South Korean

she became a fav after watching “crash landing on you,” what an actress I mean ... the emotional range, damnnnn, love her, and I look forward to seeing future projects and diverse roles :’)

watch —

• a moment to remember

Kim So Hyun

South Korean

cannot tell you how many dramas she’s drowned in, just flat out, be prepared for that, idk why the writer thinks that’s cool lol, she’s a great actress, great actress, but I want to see her in more mature roles instead of rom-coms, she has a bright future indeed! 

watch —

Shin Min Ah

South Korean

she along with Ha Ji won were two of my first kdramas actresses, “My Girlfriend is a Gumiho” will always be on of my all time favs because of her and Seung-gi, she‘s also diverse in her role choices, and has a great resume. I’m lovingggg how many new projects she’s coming out with, keep em’ coming girl!!!

soooooo exciteddddd for “Mr. Hong“ this year, her and Kim Seon-ho are gonna make a great pair!

Seo Yea Ji

South Korean

THERE IS SOME SEROUS CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING THIS ACTRESS RN, but I’m going to leave her on this list because one way or another, she’s a damn good actress ... she’s chosen some diverse characters in her acting career so far, and I’d love to see her in thrillers like “Save Me,” she’s incredible in that drama.

watch —

• save me
• it’s okay to not be okay
• lawless lawyer 
• moorim school

Kim You Jung

South Korean

next to Yeon Jin goo she’s one of the most well known child actors in South Korea, damn, the girl can act, I see she has a good rep in rom-coms but I personally hope she does more historicals, which is why I cannot wait for “Red Sky,” give her dramas a watch!

watch —

• love in the moonlight
• clean with passion for now 
• moon embracing the sun
• backstreet rookie
• angry mom 

Kim Hye Yoon

South Korean

first role I saw her in was in “Extraordinary You,” but I really need to watch ”Sky Castle” becauseI heard its good, she’s becoming quite the popular actress, which I’m happy about, shes got skills, and so far non of her roles have been the same, even though she’s just recently gotten main roles (hell yeah) she even played a mean girl for cameo role in “Legend of the Blue Sea,” had no idea it was her until I watched it again for lik the 1,000 time lmao, look forward to her future projects, especially “Snowdrop” :’)

• extraordinary you

Chae Soo Bin
