News Lee Jun Young - My Top Picks
Lee Jun Young is one of the finest and talented people (not just an actor) that I have come across. He's my ultimate bias and so I have curated some of his best works in this list. While I found most of his work great - some of them were weak on plots, but he still shined. Therefore, rest assured from Lee Jun Young's acting and delivery POV - these dramas and movies will be worth your while.
There is no preference in this list, I love all his roles equally but I have highlighted where he had a main/support/guest role and impact.
-
1. Four Hands, Two Sonatas
Korean Drama - 2026, 12 episodes
Main Role - for me, the soul of this drama
Plays a conflicted character - good, almost bad - and in between. A first I feel - or rather a combination of his positive and negative roles done previously.
-
2. Pump Up the Healthy Love
Korean Drama - 2025, 12 episodes
Main Role - will crack you up - it was so different from his previous roles
I bet after watching this you be addicted to his pet phrases: WHAT THE....
He even looked physically very different in this role
-
3. Love and Leashes
Korean Movie - 2022
Main Role
The first time I saw Lee Jun Young, and was completely smitten
He plays a goofy, positive role here - but don't be fooled by it.
One of the last scenes is sizzling! (Hint: He's wearing a black shirt, and it's their "last" play ;)

4. Reborn Rookie
Korean Drama - 2026, 12 episodes
Main Role
He's vulnerable, sharp, funny in here - and a positive character but there are scenes where he is cold and calculating which will make you ... well squirm a little
Oh - one of the rare dramas where we see him shirtless
-
5. Brave Citizen
Korean Movie - 2023
Main Role - Antagonist
Totally unhinged and cruel - and yet I was like - I want a spin-off story where I can heal him
The tongue swipe over lips, the winks, and Shin Hye Sun on his lap - even with the cruelty - you'd want him
-
6. May I Help You?
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
Main Role
One of his most charming roles - and one of the earlier dramas that are underrated and that's why people did not see his versatility. I would highly recommend watching this drama - as overall its beautiful, and ofc with Lee Jun Young - it's cherry on top
-
7. Avengers Social Club
Korean Drama - 2017, 12 episodes
Main Role
One of his earliest roles and it shows only in his face. His acting - top notch!
Watch this - its a wholesome drama, that's funny and thoughtful at the same time
-
8. Weak Hero Class 2
Korean Drama - 2025, 8 episodes
Support Role - but seriously, I watched this series for his role
Hoping Season 3 digresses from the original material and he has a larger role as Geum Seung Je
Another one of those antagonists that's evil for sure - but you still love him. I have read so many fanfics after watching him
One of the scenes where he flicks his cigarette - is so amazing, the cigarette seemed like a paid actor
-
9. Mask Girl
Korean Drama - 2023, 7 episodes
Support Role - Antagonist
Here he was bad through and through.
I loved him but not the antagonist, you'd love to save and heal haha
Again, even in limited screentime - his impact is tremendous
-
10. D.P.
Korean Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
Guest Role - I would say, since it was just one episode
Again one of those dramas where he has hardly minutes on-screen and yet impact is so powerful that I ended up watching the series cause I wanted to catch a glimpse of him
-
11. When Life Gives You Tangerines
Korean Drama - 2025, 16 episodes
Support Role
I have actually not watched this drama - cause I am not emotionally ready to watch it. This drama was so popular as it was airing that I have sort of seen it cause of the clips all over social media.
I only saw the episodes in which Lee Jun Young was there - and boy, he kills you with his acting - someone caught between love and family; he portrays young love beautifully
-
12. Please Don't Date Him
Korean Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
Main Role
The drama overall is nice - even though it took me sometime to watch it as I was not drawn to the story. It is not a great drama but everything somehow falls in place
Lee Jun Young plays a firefighter with a secret - and yes, there is a shirtless scene and photoshoot that really put things on FIRE! Ironical, eh?
-
13. Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale
Korean Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
Main Role
The drama script was weak - but otherwise Lee Jun Young takes on a role of Chaebol who is spoilt and delivers in every way
He literally is a prince charming in this one
