Ji Chang-wook

Ji Chang-wook strikes me as one of the most versatile leading men Korean drama has produced. He climbed the hard way, building a name through daily dramas before becoming a genuine star with Healer, The K2, and Empress Ki. What I value is his range: action, romance, quiet heartbreak, even villainy in The Worst of Evil, all delivered with real conviction. He sings and has musical theater chops too, so the boyish good looks hide a serious, well-rounded performer. Watching him deepen with age is a pleasure, and I expect his best work is still ahead of him.
