Sageuk Lover

She’s my favorite in Jewel in the Palace. Yonsaeng <3

Shes so talented and beautiful. What I really love about her being famous today, is that it was extremely hard for a second leads to be famous, especially before 2013 (like how no one remembers who played her adult version in Moon Embracing the Sun despite the adult actress being praised for her performace there). I hope only the best for her career. I hope she plays roles similar to Go Hyun Jung’s Mishil in Queen Seon Deok or Kin Ok Bin’s Taealha in Arthdal

Such a beautiful actress. I love her in Sageuk like Painter of the Wind and Princess Man. I hope for a female focused sageuk starring her. (male leads at supporting leads at bedt, similar to their billing in Hwang Jini 2006 drama)

I love her. She was a cute little girl in Painter of the Wind and Queen Seon Deok, but she’s so pretty now. I know most people know her from Moon Embracing the Sun and recent dramas, but her performance in Grudge the Revolt of Gumiho/Gumiho Tale of the Fox Child is extremely underrated. It was really great, especially considering she did it when she was only 10-11 years old

My favorite Korean actress since childhood. I love that she had acted in so many genres both movies and television from action, historical, romcom, melodrama. My favorites are her sageuks like Hwang Jini, Damo and Empress Ki

He was in Queen Seon Deok (2009), the first historical drama where he had a main role (not lead though). He doesnt appear until quite episode 30 something, but you can at least try watching his scenes. Its 60 episodes though, but a lot of people got hook with it so it was a good show.

He will always have a special place since I saw his great acting in some sageuks like The Legend (2007 drama) and Queen Seon Deok. He and Park Eun Bin were great together

His guest role in Tree with Deep Roots as Lee Bang Won is great. I love his acting there with Song Joong Ki and Lee Jae Yong

If only I had actually watched the 2011 kdrama The Duo (one of his first acting roles, this was before he got quite popular with Rooftop Prince) , I would have something to brag like knowing an oscar winner film’s lead actor since his first roles. Nevertheless, Im still glad that I get to know him from Rooftop Prince and has since watched his parts in The Duo and was seriously impressed by his acting in both, especially Duo. Im so happy with his success in Parasite

I wish his song gor at least nominated, ao he can sing there like Idina Menzel even if his sing didnt win

I really like him as Seolwon in Queen Seon Deok. He and Go Hyun Junghad really great chemistry

The moment I heard his voice in his Tree with Deep Roots cameo, I knew he was special. Love his acting in Moon embracing the Sun and Missing You. Best chemistry with Kim So Hyun. Acting in Crowned Clown is also the best

I’ve only seen him in Tree with Deep Roots but his acting there is top notch.

He’s a great actor. I havent watched a lot of his works but Bidam in Queen Seon Deok and his role in Portrait of a Beauty were excellently portrayed

His roles in Jumong and Enperor of the Sea were unforgettable. If he had been younger though and more people had watched his dramas (not getting intimidated because they were old sageuks), he would become more popular

I love his action scenes in both Jumong and Queen Seon Deok

Watching kdramas in the 2000s, this was one actor who I've seen in totally different roles and I was always impressed. From a villain in Emperor of the Sea, to a "womanly" man in Jumong to a King in Painter of the Wind to a sweet oppa in Dongyi/Shining Inheritance. :)

Thank you for writing this article. Moon Chae Won is a great actress
I really love Moon Chae Won. Before all the bromances later portrayed in dramas, she and Moon Geun Young were able to portray great romantic chemistry in Painter of the Wind. She was also able to impress me there with her acting as a gisaeng, even if it was her first time in a historical drama. Oh I love her in Princess Man. How she was able to portray a woman who was torned between her family and her love. I love how effortless she portrayed her character growth there. I also really respect her for choosing "bitchy" roles in Innocecent Man" and "Shining Inheritance".

Hi! You should at least try watching even just Moon Chae Won's scenes in Painter of the Wind. She's really great in it as she proved there that she can have romantic chemistry with even a girl. BONUS: Bae Soo Bin of Shining Inheritance is also here as the King (him and Chae Won have so few scenes together though, if they had any at all)

Yes, he actually debuted in the late 90s, in a sitcom that made him very popular, while the other one only debuted in the 2000s.
