My Take
Choi Soo-jong reads to me as a quiet pillar of Korean period drama. Debuting back in 1987 and carrying epic sageuk leads like Taejo Wang Geon, he carries a regal gravity in both voice and presence that few actors can summon. I admire that he has worked across film, stage, and hosting, the mark of a true craftsman rather than a passing star. He also played Jang Bogo in Emperor of the Sea and the title role in Dae Jo-yeong, which, I suspect, explains his enduring affection from audiences. He competes on sincerity over flash, and that earns my genuine respect.
