Title My Youth
The Innocent Man is his most underrated drama imo
it was quite popular during its time, but its the melodrama genre and the fact that kdrama was not as big as 2016 and after made it seem like it wasn't popular. but people in 2012 who watched many kdramas really love sjk as an actor and many of them were actually disappointed by the fact that he chose to come back with a kim eun sook drama (back then, kim eun sook recent popular projects were heirs and secret garden while sjk was known to have excelled in playing a variety of characters from a funny cute joseon scholar, to a smart king, to a werewolf, to a complex man betrayed by his true love). i know for sure that innocent man was very popular because one of my super fave korean actresses moon chae won is best known by casual kdrama fans (prior to flower of evil) as being the female lead in innocent man despite the fact that she has more critically acclaimed projects in her sageuk works (2008's painter of the wind but more notably the 2011 drama princess's man and 2011 movie war of the arrows).
