Morty Dec 28 2023 8:04 am It would be fun to fight Ma Dong Seok. ?

nac Oct 26 2023 4:35 pm ma dong-seok aka don lee is popular in my country. i would say he is A Man's Men since a lof of men like him. some people call him as 'south korean version of the rock' because they both are the big strong muscular men lol

he is so charismatic and talented. his acting skill is superb. no wonder why he is one of the successful chungmuro actors. wish him the best, always!

Dorothy Jul 07 2023 11:38 am Enjoy watching Ma Dong Seok in everything I have watched him in. Enjoy his attitude and his acting

Ana Nov 19 2022 7:46 am So glad to see him in international films like the Eternals. Way to go Ma Dong Seok aka Gilgamesh!

Lose Dec 04 2021 4:32 am He's so cool I've watch every movie n kdrama he's in .He always nail his role really well esp the action movie wish you all the best and keep up the good work

Min Ah Oct 23 2021 7:00 pm I love him so much!! I can binge watch all of his movies everyday and not get bored. His acting skills are superb and actors he worked with said that "he's a great actor but he can't lie". Been waiting for The Eternals for over a year now. I can't wait!! ?

T.C. Nov 20 2020 1:51 pm I love watching this guy! He has been great in everything I have seen him in. That said looks like he is going to Hollywood. He is listed in the cast of Marvel's Phase 4 Eternals! Woot Woot! Good for him.

Kpopholly Nov 14 2020 8:38 am He's such a great actor, I just watched The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil and I liked his acting skill. He's great actor and looking forward for more of his movies. Sadly, He only has few award.

Nisha Aug 18 2020 11:02 am Such a great actor love to watch his movies all the day , woah love him coree

leo Jul 01 2020 2:29 am i really loves his acting. i feel the punch.

Yurie Apr 22 2020 7:26 am My mom is obsessed with him. Hes such a great charismatic actor

Ming Mar 27 2020 11:14 am You kind sir are one of the best stars of Korea! You bring life into the characters you portray. It's great fun watching you! Wish more of your projects were shown here in the USA! Big Big Fan! You are superstar worthy!!!! Korea should be proud to have you showcase their movie industry!!!!

RabumAlal Apr 17 2019 9:19 pm Hope this is true... there's a rumor that he's in talks to join Marvel Cinematic Universe upcoming movie Eternals! Please be true he's such an awesome actor, it is time for him to go international.

Kristine Jan 02 2019 7:08 pm I hope to see him guest in one of the present variety shows. I mean, he's kinda funny in the interviews but I hope he gets to show how he is in variety shows. Although he's not into variety shows, it would be great for fans to see him in one, right? (I am waiting for the day that he challenges Kang Ho Dong in KB, or Kim Jong Kook in RM, or become a master in Master in the House, or exchange heart warning stories with the 2D1N gang).

nanashi Sep 01 2018 8:39 am He always appear in almost all new movies I watched! 0ne of great actor!

krusty Aug 24 2018 8:17 am Anyone else think he resembles Sylvester Stallone?

Ashok Kumar RN Jul 13 2018 12:00 am Awesome actor , i am seeing his TV show BAD guys , became his fan !!

kulla Jun 02 2018 4:21 pm Okay this guy is everywhere and i watched lots of his work and he s a great actor ... when i watched train to busan tho, i fell in love.... and hes super older than me but I find him very attractive. ..

Leslie Feb 19 2018 10:22 am I saw him in Bad Guys, and just recently in The Bros. Love his energy and his acting skills. The Bros was an awesome story, well told.

Pinay Fan Feb 08 2018 7:50 am I am one of MA DONG SEOK fanatic! wonder why he doesn't have won Best Actor Awards in all of his leading films. For me, he is really a great multi-actor of all times. I love all of his movies though. He is the best ever!!!

Lea Ann Sherry Dec 23 2017 7:50 pm Just saw “Train to Busan,” and I loved it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Korean movie before. I have to admit, Ma Dong Soek made the movie great; he definitely would have been missed. ......and I think he’s kinda sexy, too.

Sali Dec 15 2017 2:54 am Saw him in Bad Guys, not gonna lie... I found him attractive (might be his muscles~~) definitely gotta check out the rest of his works. Keep up the good work hwaiting!

sandra May 12 2017 10:03 am Great actor, great acting skills.. he definitely deserves more attention..

minnysab Apr 03 2017 4:15 am I saw him in the Bad Guys drama and his character is awesome!!

Qt-Gidae Dec 07 2016 10:36 am MDS is a support, but MDS can carry all the team. MDS is Love, MDS is Life. first time saw him in Familyhood, he is just gifted with the "Good Big Guy" look. He is look like a Brawler but have warm-hearted. especially in the scene when he is supporting Dan-Ji in the dining room. His acting in 38 Task Force really superb, i like the facial expression of him when finished conning the target and when he confirmed the payed taxes. Really cool and awesome.

sorry for the long post and bad english lol

Muchie Nov 07 2016 8:39 pm I first saw him in Train to Busan and he instantly won a loy of fans because of his character and of course his acting skills. Then i got so hooked with him and then watched the flu, then deep trap amd the first drama which starred him was Squad 38 which is , by the way, a superb drama. Now i am really hooked with him hahaha and he does look so much like my cousin. Fighting Ma Dong Seok

BaekSungIlMaDongSeokWOW Sep 30 2016 9:06 pm Superb guy! I watched him first time from Train to Busan, then saw him on The Flu....Can't help but search all his movies and series...38SQUAD is perfect, brilliant! Became an instant fan of this fabulous guy!

krong_starlight Sep 29 2016 10:37 am I love him so much, he is not only a great actor but a really good guy and hilarious in real life... watched Train to Busan because of him XD Ma Dong Seok fighting!!

kpoplover Sep 18 2016 3:53 pm Wow. His character in 'Train to Busan' was superb! Great actor.

Jamie Sep 17 2016 11:34 pm Amen to this man! He was cool on Train to Busan...

Peachyan Sep 11 2016 10:08 am I still can't get over Train to Busan and it's all because of Ma Dong Seok. Dong Seok fighting! God Bless to all your future films <3 You're really really great.

Lorna J. Aug 19 2016 11:49 am Whoa what a diverse actor, Ma Dong Seok seeing him in squad 38 I couldn't believe it I really expected him to knock somebody out and beat somebody down. The ending was fabulous that was so cool. I started watching "Bad Guys"with him in it he's always playing the Tough Guy but to see him play an every day Joe/Guy was surprising & different I really didn't expect him to be so good, I really love him, even more now. And those eyes I tell you those eyes are something else

Chloe-USA Aug 11 2016 8:29 pm You are one of my all time favorite performers!!! A giant of a talent and role diversity! Love, love watching you!!!! Big Fan!!!! Wish we had better access to your projects in the US!!!

shams Aug 06 2016 7:57 pm wahhh!!!! amazing job on 38 task force. loved that last scene with the reference to bad guys!!!<3

Jess Aug 02 2016 8:17 pm @monstar he actually lived in America for some time of his life, and lived in a bunch of different places like Ohio and L.A.

monstar ❤ Jul 25 2016 6:18 pm 1st time watching him in 38 squad. He's a great actor and his english is so so good. Is he bilingual? Multilingual? Or did he just memorize that part. Anyway it was awesome.

CM Jun 18 2016 5:21 pm Ma Dong-Seok is a fabulous actor. I have seen him in many dramas and a few movies. His role typically is a copy or a gangsta. He plays the roles superbly. I have seen him in a few other roles and he upholds his abilities and talents with aplomb! ;~)) I really like him and his solid acting ability. I hope he doesn't become type-cast because he is very versatile!

Go, Ma Dong-Seok, go!

Hazeleigh Jun 17 2016 7:51 pm Dang! His English superb!

Chakita3 Oct 04 2015 1:49 am This guy is amazing....love his work! Such-a-rough-and-tumble-hug'able-kind-of-guy.....the gentle man exudes a great vibe and energy on screen....Amazing, absolutely great actor...fantastic wit and humor....thank you, absolutely!

AnyOne Aug 22 2015 10:48 pm I always confuse between him & Jeong Man-Sik!!! LOL,they even stared together in like Kundo the age of the rampant :)

Hlm May 08 2015 10:01 am An amazing , captivating acor, scene stealer ... All his movies are very woth watching , very nice

Panglu Jan 19 2015 2:29 am Mr. Ma dong sook is a phenomenal actor. He is underrated but has such such great presence. No matter what role he takes, I'm sure it'll be a great one.

Junebug Jul 16 2014 8:45 pm I also remember seeing him in the drama 'Tazza' playing a dude named 'Punch' who was part of Jang Hyuks crew from prison. He did great in that show, as I've come to expect from such a fine actor.

mahsa Dec 15 2013 12:32 pm amazing actor <3

lurazop Jun 25 2013 12:05 pm great actor!
