I'm so tempted by Resurrection - the plotline looks so intriguing. I haven't seen Tae Woong in anything but he has a certain charm - he's not stunning but you definitely can't look away.

I'm looking forward to the top ten, and best of luck on your exam results!

It was the recs over at that did me in. I agree, Tae Woong is one intriguing actor. He's not devastatingly handsome but he truly really is just...enigmatic. I recommend it wholeheartedly but how do you feel about the angst? :)

I hope I don't disappoint. XD A lot of my other favorites surprisingly got bumped off the list. I honestly couldn't fit them all in my Top 20, sadly. I think I might make a special honorable mentions list in the future, rofl. And, thank you. :) Exams were the pits but I'm still hoping. XD

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PICTURES!

I am so glad you like "Resurrection", isn't he wonderful in it?

Glad to share the love. <3 All these picspams are inspiring me to icon again. XD Maybe I will.

Yes, it was largely due to your influence, rofl. :) I'm already hooked. I hope I can watch a lot more episodes during my break. Thanks again for reccing the series. <3

Now we are talking! Mr Intensity *g* Others can keep all those pretty girly-men who look like they are barely leagal and coud do with more than couple of meals - I'll have this guy, thank you very much! LOL!

My favourite Korean actor and one of my favourite actors of any nationality. I just love him! He's very, very charismatic and yes, when he's on the scene you tend to focus on him. What I like in UTW is the fact that he's consistently good in very different parts. Great actor.

At his best in The Devil and Resurrection, which really is kind of UTW central. ;P Another good drama of his is 'Stranger than Paradise', he's adorably dorky in it. You may also want to check out 'Nine Tailed Fox / Gumiho'; UTW with a big sword.... Wish he'd do another drama but he's been making movies back to back since Devil ended. I don't really count 'Fight' as he's got a really small part in it and most of it is in flashbacks.

I'm glad you are liking Resurrection, great innit? :)

I like pretty men and cute boys so I can't comment on that. XD But, as you can see, my taste differs from time to time. Besides, Tae Woong is hard to resist. It's all in the intensity.

He's very, very charismatic and yes, when he's on the scene you tend to focus on him.
I like how we all agree on that account. XD I was practically a slave to his charm in The Devil, especially.

A long time ago, I've actually watched part of Nine Tailed Fox. And I can't remember much from it. ;_; As for Stranger than Paradise, I've heard of it but was thinking of whether or not to start on it. I was disappointed that he didn't have a bigger role in Fight. I was so excited about it. XD

And, yes, he's been very movie-centric for a while now. Which is fine. But I want more dramas. XXDD

Yes, it is. :D

He's great in Stranger than Paradise but that's almost a given. XD His character is this smalltime hoodlum who is not averse at beating up someone or doing a swindle when needed. But he's still got his heart in the right place. Quite an interesting character in many ways. I really like the other main guy as well. They make up a great pair, a lot like with JJH in Devil. I wasn't initally expecting too much of StP but ended up liking it a lot.

He's a supporting actor in Nine Tailed Fox but as it's pretty good drama that has a good overall cast it's worth wathcing. Ending's sad but as it fits with the story I did not mind.

Guuh I love this guy. And The Devil ♥♥ Such an amazing drama! I watched the first episode of Resurrection a couple of days ago, it looks promising and he has two characters, which makes it even more awesome. I´ve seen him in a couple of movies too, his character in My Love was to die for ** He plays a Free Hugs activist lolol.
Btw, your layout is adorable ♥

I'm glad to hear all the positive feedback on The Devil. Some of my friends couldn't finish it and I was really surprised they weren't compelled to. I'm loving Resurrection so far, as well. I've yet to watch his movies even though I have them listed, rofl.

Thank you. :) I couldn't resist using the scan. <3
