The first korean actor I ever liked. It was not about looks, but his performances and personality. He was the main lead in my first korean movie ever and since than, I´ve watched all of his works. He is a charismatic person called Song Seung Heon. I guess I don´t have to tell more. Maybe he´s not the best, but one of the best out there.
