I GREW UNCONTROLLABLY FOND of Kim Woo-bin upon watching his drama of the same name. His commanding presence on camera may be due, in part, to his deep, piercing eyes, which are so telling in how he engages with and connects with those watching. Second, his towering stature acts as a special effect on top of his flawless virility, making him the stunning Korean hero that he is. And let's not forget about his subtle character representation, which elevates him to the level of an adept actor. Wait, I have more thoughts to add to this passage (I'm an avid Kim Woo-bin fan). If you're an attractive man, you often get cast in situations where you're expected to look great. I think Kim is fantastically atypical regarding this. He has the talent to play with that in numerous capacities, whether he's impersonating an arrogant guy or a socially inept figure.
A tall-in-the-saddle Kim Hyun-joong, in the minds of many within the profession, has been the runway model of dreams. His attractiveness aided his breakthrough into Korean entertainment in 2011 with the television mystery drama White Christmas and the cable sitcom Vampire Idol under the stage name Kim Woo-bin. The runway supermodel had therefore discovered love, excitement, and enthusiasm for acting alongside modeling, forming an everlasting tryst with the art form ever since. In 2012, he was cast in the romantic comedy-drama A Gentleman's Dignity and the drama adaptation of the renowned manga To the Beautiful You before enjoying an upsurge in fame beginning in 2013.
