Six Memorable K-Drama Characters of Kim Soo-hyun

KIM SOO-HYUN in a K-drama exudes enticement-something completely disparate. His expressions transmit a wealth of details about the emotions and mental states of those he portrays, and the rest that remains is more than made up for by his superb screen presence and, of course, his method acting. His passionate, precise interpretations certainly grant him that weight as a performing artist. Kim is, indeed, an elite player-a savant in Korean entertainment who might reveal an entirely diverse facet of any given character; six such are listed below.

Song Sam-dongDream High (2011)

Following Dream High's success as a staggering teen musical drama, Kim sparked multiple nods. Being a country yokel-a musical whiz but battling an uncommon medical condition earned him the KBS Drama Awards' Best New Actor and Popularity Awards. His portrayal of Sam-dong's plight and his underlying pain was most notably impressive. Based on Naver news, Kim trained extensively at JYP Entertainment to hone his vocal and choreographic skills so he might do effectively next to K-pop idol actors such as Bae Suzy and Ok Taec-yeon.

Lee Hwon, King of Joseon - Moon Embracing the Sun (2012)
