My Take
Cha Seung-won is, for me, the model of the actor who ages into greater charisma rather than away from it. He arrived as an in-demand 1990s fashion model and then did something tall, handsome men rarely risk: he made people laugh, anchoring hits like Kick the Moon and Jail Breakers. That willingness to play the fool while looking like a magazine cover is exactly what wins me over. Add his unexpected warmth as a cook on variety television, and you get a performer who refuses to coast on his looks. I find his unhurried, self-deprecating confidence quietly magnetic.
