Favorite Korean Leading Men (Part Three)

Here's more on my list...

Kim Rae Won ( 김래원 )
March 18, 1981

I loved this guy in Lovestory in Harvard! And even though, he didn't speak his English lines
(which were actually part of the dialogue) well for someone who's studying Law in Harvard, he still played a believable lawyer. He was also in What Planet Are You From? (I have this title in my collection, and started watching it at one point but I had to stop and got caught up in something else.) and his most recent series, Gourmet, which I still haven't seen.

Hyun Bin ( 현빈)
September 25, 1982

I only saw him in one drama series, one of my all time favorites, My Name Is Kim Sam Soon. He was cute playing a restarant owner who was willing to do anything to keep his mom from setting him up with girls. So, as I an extreme measure, he made a deal with Kim Samsoon, his pastry shop chef, (who needed a big amount of money at the time.) that she would pose as his girlfriend to stop his mom from setting him up with dates. But he ended falling in love with Kim Samsoon, who's a few years older and a little too plump for his taste.

To Be Continued....

I know some of you are still looking for pictures and other names on my list that most of my friends know that I like but I don't consider them a full pledged leading man yet because they're still new to acting, but most of the names I left out that I will metion in my next post are singer turned actors/model turned actors through a drama series.
