`I think Kim Tae Hee is so boring I’d rather watch paint dry.
and OJH is my favorite candy.

i liked fantasy couple okay . . . it was good enough for me that i did not drop it, but i did not like it as much as i thought i would . . . i guess my expectations were too high b/c i’d heard it was good and it was a hong sisters drama & i thought they could do no wrong (until that train wreck of a drama you may all vaguely remember–BIG–in which even my love and adoration for gong yoo could not make me watch past episode 6/7)

but i digress . . . in FC, in my opinion (and i’m no expert or qualified critic), oh ji-ho had moments of goodness instead of being solid throughout the drama. han ye seul was the same. her performance was really good at times, then really flat at times . . . i wasn’t sure if she was acting that way as part of the character or what . . . still i did enjoy FC, but i enjoyed looking at ji-ho more than i did watching him act. he’s just so handsome to me and has a really REALLY great smile!!

haven’t seen third ward — will try to check it out!

Well, I watched her drama Home Sweet Home with Lee Sang Yun, and I think she delivered her character well.

OJH acting is improving since Chuno, at least I think he acts better than SSH.

Well I won’t include LJK in the “manly” category either. No offense to his fans but I always see him more in feminine side, maybe because he is too pretty in My Girl and I can still see his prettiness after his released from the army. I am sure he is 100% man though.

Hmm, I would add Kim Myung Min for the list of actors known for the acting skill rather than the look.

You’re so right about that ^_^ His acting skills don’t differ that much from our Hand Towel (only slightly better) but he doesn’t get as much criticism perhaps because SSH is a bigger name.

Anyway I never put acting skills as the first requirement to watch a drama so the range of acting skills of its leads never bother me.

I love Fantasy Couple too. Whatever other people say about it and its leading couple FC was the drama that made me love them both.

Could be a disaster or could melt the screen with the chemistry…
The writing and directing will determine it all.

They are both swoon-worthy.

Forgot Won Bin, but he would be on the list of those often referred to as “flower boys” due to their looks, even tho they have facial features on the masculine side (tho Won Bin is certainly leaving his boyish look behind).

While I’m sure I missed a no. of others (can’t list everybody; not that I know of every actor), here are some notables that I missed.

For actors known for their acting and definitely are masculine – Kim Gab-soo, Jeong Jin-yeong (both awesome), Choi Min-soo and Jam Woo-sung.

Bae Soo-bin and Jo Seung-woo as 2 other masculine matinee idol types and Eric as another idol turned actor.

As for LBH, I know he’s a big star, but didn’t include him o on the 1st list b/c I don’t consider him to be good-looking
(he has that Macaulay Culkin “fish face”).

Didn’t include LJK simply b/c he does not have masculine facial features, along with others like Jung Il-woo – they have that androgynous look to them.

And sure. a no. of the actors listed in the category of being known for acting abilities are distinguished-looking or have their own sexy charisma, but generally do not fit the matinee idol “look.”
