I believe the only drama he did was AAE but I wish he'd do more dramas! He's one of my fave K-actors! Look at his face and all angles are perfect in my opinion! I just don't know why his heart hasn't been captured by anyone in Korea (be it in entertainment or outside). i heard of JDG first time when i saw All About Eve — and javabeans is right if you watch more of Kdramas then chances are we won’t see Korea’s big stars like JDG who made more films or movies than dramas.

They both act naturally and they're so popular in the Philippines. really like JDG as well as song hye gyo. can they make a film together.

Sorry Bad English. En Español les digo que si son muy queridos en Mexico tanto Chae como jang y todo gracias a All About Eve, que es el Drama Koreano mas visto y repetido en la historia de los Dramas Koreanos, y no solo en Mexico en sudamerica paises como Peru son afortunados de gozar estos programas, aparte la fama es reciente porque apenas en el 2004 pasaron estos dramas y hasta la fecha los siguen repitiendo, asi que VIVAN JANG ANDD CHAE.

I didn't realize who the heck he was until my 21 yrs old cousin looked over and uttered: "OMG, is that HIM?" Turns out she actually saw his dramas when he was up-and-coming and love him every since then. I had absolutely no idea who he is. In all honesty, I think if stars want to get wide mass popularity outside of Korea, or actually Asia, it's best to do dramas. Movies gains the most international attention with critics, ect. ect. but the mass population outside of Korea DO NOT watch Korean movies....unless it's super-hyped up. My cousin, for one, watches all Korean dramas that comes her way but only occasionally pick up the odd Korean movie. I didn't even know some of these guys were Hallyu stars until someone told me. But the Hallyu craze that I know and love deal with up-and-coming stars like YEH (Goong) and less with older dramas. It's A) Because I love romantic comedies, not action/drama or melodramas, B) Because I can't be bothered to find old dramas that are now hard to get. I think the old Hallyu craze is over and the new one's beginning. From melodramas to action and/or romantic comedies....

That's one of his finest performances, even though the movie itself is biased against the Korean military (which bothers me). But see it for JDG, you should. He's sooooo excellent in that.
