My Take
What strikes me about Choi Cheol-ho is how comfortably he wears a crown on screen. He's played King Seonjo in The Immortal Lee Soon-shin and King Gyeongjong in Empress Cheonchu, and that kind of casting tells me producers trust him with gravity and authority. Then he turned around and broke through with the 2009 hit Queen of Housewives, a much lighter register. I respect actors who can swing between sageuk dignity and contemporary comedy without losing themselves. His Sungkyunkwan University background fits the image too. He's the sort of reliable Korean character actor whose face you recognize long before you recall the name.
