My 2023 Crush

Well, this is probably pretty obvious from the list of shows I watched this year, but my current actor obsession is Yoon Shi Yoon. Prior to 2023, I’d only seen him in Nokdu Flower, where he was great but not exactly, uhm, swoony. This year, I realized he could play pretty much any type of role and be mesmerizing in all of them. There are lots of pretty faces in drama land, but there are far fewer folks who combine the pretty with legit acting chops and a willingness to take on characters who aren’t standard issue “hot male leads”. He’s one of them and I look forward to whatever projects he takes on in 2024.

    Exactly! He is truly amazing!

      I’ve never actually watched a legit weekender, but I might need to give this a try (I did hear that the ending of this one made people want to set things on fire though . . .).

      That male lead was Jung Il Woo 😉
      Yoon Shi Yoon starred in High Kick Through The Roof (2009).

        Sooo much high kicking! Although I also have a soft spot for Jung Il Woo as well so encountering him instead wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing . . .

    As you already might suspect, he is the one and only crush I always refer to 🤭
    I love him too much to have another crush. He is intelligent, funny, hardworking… and a very humble, familiar and homebody person.
    There is a radio show he conducted and it’s amazing when he talks about things like his family, his school, his house, photography, the differences between the analog world in his childhood and the digital now…
