Favorite Actors & Actresses
Some of my favorite Korean, Chines, Japanese & Taiwanese actors & actresses
-
Jun Ji Hyun
South Korean
Love her in all of her roles. She is a natural actress and can play comedic characters, over-the-top characters, etc. with show great subtlety when portraying various emotions.
Best works: You Who Came From the Stars, My Sassy Girl, The Thieves
-
Gong Hyo Jin
South Korean
The Queen of Romance! She is the best actress for romantic comedy. She has acting in the blood for sure and has talent for days. As she has been acting for over 20 years, you never have to worry about her in a drama: you already know that she will absolutely nail her role!
Best works: The Master's Sun, It's Okay That's Love
-
Jang Hyuk
South Korean
Veteran actor who is very handsome to boot! He can do it all from serious roles to comedic roles.
Best works: Voice, IRIS, A Beautiful Mind, Deep Rooted Tree, Fated to Love You, Chuno
-
Li Qin
Chinese
This actress impressed so much the first time I saw her in Princess Agents that I want to watch every single drama she will star in! Very promising career ahead for sure! Oh, and I love her chemistry with Shawn Dou xD
Best works: Princess Agents, The Wolf, Tears in Heaven
-
Dilraba Dilmurat
Chinese
Talented young actress who is one of the most beautiful C-actress ever.
Best works: The King's Woman, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom (Eternal Love)
-
Miura Haruma
Japanese
Don't get fooled by his pretty boy face (he is probably the most handsome Japanese actor), Miura is one of the most talented actors I've ever seen. He also plays very difficult characters too (a teacher who is a cheater or a man with a terminal disease) and of course he has also played light characters :)
Best Works: the list is too long lol.
-
Komatsu Nana
Japanese
-
Nikaido Fumi
Japanese
-
Ji Sung
South Korean
Ji Sung does not need an introduction: he is just too good at acting.
Best works: Kill Me Heal Me, Secret
-
Hwang Jung Eum
South Korean
She is a talented actress who can play different roles well. She has played many over-the-top heroines but I like her best in roles were she can show different emotions. She is an actress who it seems can cry at a blink of eye (when she cries, it's very convincing). She is probably second to Gong Hyo Jin in terms of being the Queen of romantic comedy.
Best works: Kill Me Heal Me, Secret
-
Jung Woo Sung
South Korean
-
Shinohara Ryoko
Japanese
-
Yamazaki Kento
Japanese
He is the best currently at playing all those manga adaptations in live action. He just fits so well with the characters.
Best works: Kiss That Kills (Todome no Kiss), Wolf Girl and Black Prince
-
Shin Sung Rok
South Korean
When he plays a villain or a psychopath, I truly think he is in his element!
Best works: You Who Came From the Stars, The Last Empress
-

Betty Sun
Chinese
If someone can be said to have too much talent in acting, Betty Sun would fit the description! She is simply too good and believable in her roles. I especially love to watch her work her magic in ancient drama settings.
