I have always thought shin se kyung was an amazing actress I have ssen her in all her dramas and thought she did great. I believe the dramas she was casted in had a lot to do with the creators especially the bad writing. Shin se kyung seems to always give her best. When I saw she was coming out with a drama with yoochun i was super excited. This drama definitely met my expectations.

I agree … he was a lot of fun to watch.

I am loving Lee Won Jong in "Girl Who Sees Smells". (And what a great picture you've found of him). I really liked "Mr. Baek", mostly because of Shin Ha Kyun, I thought he was really good and underrated. Apparently he mostly acts in movies.

This was a great series of articles. Well done, Park ChoHwa. I am looking forward to the upcoming series about female stars over 40.

I also first watched him in Gloria and then as the kind Prince Hae Myeong in Kingdom of the Winds … what a great actor to play two very different roles so well!

After watching Ji Jin Hee in Jewel in Palace and then in Dong Yi, I was very surprised how well he did in the comedic role as The Man Who Can't Get Married. He also was such a good Team Player when he guest-starred on Running Man. One of my favorite actors.

Jun Noh Min .... I am amazed how good he looks for his age. Really impressed... By the way, I think men look better with age anyway.

i love Ji Jin Hee especially in Take Care of Us, Captain.

i love Ji Jin Hee especially in Take Care of Us, Captain and Dong Yi.... <3

I agree with you, Goong is soo overrated! Haven't watched the other dramas though....

I'm sorry but I loved Goong. I fell in love with Yoon Eun Hye in this drama. I agree with you all it was cheesy but anything with my goddess is fine with me. I would watch her reading the McDonalds menu

I never know how to feel about Goong, it was good to me. I liked the main leads together, despised Ji Hyo's character and hated how dragged out everything was. I enjoyed the ending and whatnot but lord, some people put it on such a high pedestal I'm just like WHY.

I am so in love with Goong. I have been watching Kdramas for years now, and have discovered really great and clearly better ones (in terms of story, direction, acting..) but it remains close to my heart and can watch it any number of times!
The chemistry between the leads, love triangles with all the jealousy, the cinderella theme with right amount of humour... also, the music fits perfectly and adds to the overall appeal.
I can understand those who find it over-rated because I know its not special in a different way.. but rather in a charming cute way. :)

Great article! Thank-you for this series! I first saw Go Hyun Jung in The Queen's Classroom and was impressed with her. But then seeing her in Queen Seon Duk, I realized just how much she was praised for her acting. Her role made the show, hands down.

I liked QSD for Mishil and Bidam...not even Seon Duk lol

Kim Hye Soo and Lee Jung Jae <3 Is this though Korean actresses in their 40s? After all, over forty, there are a lot of veteran actors that are fantastic like Kim Hae-Sook.
