Judy and I have our favorite Kdrama stars. I would venture all of them have leading actor roles. I’ve decided to include an occasional post on what I call the second bananas. You know what I’m talking about. These are the actors who have smaller parts but if you’ve seen enough Kdramas - and I have - they pop up everywhere!
My new favorite is Yeom Hye-ran. I’ve seen her in the following shows:
The Glory
When Life Gives You Tangerines
Guardian: The Lonely and Great God
Dear My Friends
Prison Playbook
Life
Hospital Playlist
Mystic Pop Up Bar
Chocolate

Shes gone from playing a poor haenyeo, to an abused wife, to the god of the underworld, and she’s amazing in every one. The versatility she shows in playing these completely different characters is just unbelievable. There is nothing cookie cutter about what she chooses to do, and it’s a joy to watch her in every show. ~ Pat
You now, I've watched all those shows and only remember her in a few. Guess I should look at the women too... ~ Judy

One of my favorites is Kim Sun-young.
I love her!
