Honestly, I think Lee Min Ho, Song Hye Kyo, and Cha Eun Woo are some of the most overrated actors in K-dramas. Their popularity is undeniable, but when it comes to actual acting skills, I don’t see much depth.
Lee Min Ho has been playing the same rich, aloof character since Boys Over Flowers. He’s got the looks and screen presence, but his acting feels repetitive, and his emotional range is pretty limited. Song Hye Kyo, despite being a top-tier actress, has always felt incredibly stiff and wooden to me. Her expressions rarely change, and her line delivery often lacks natural emotion. Even in emotional scenes, she comes off as flat rather than engaging. That being said, I did like her in The Glory—probably one of her better performances.
