Dorama Jan 22 2017 5:56 pm king of dorama and movie him haha appers everywhere

crwydryny Jul 25 2015 10:57 am I don't know what it is about this guy but he has a certain presence when he appears on the screen, too bad he's so underused in small parts as what is essentially a background character.

even in "hero" where he doesn't have any lines beyond "I've got it" he still manages to make an impact that very few actors could make by just walking around in the background polishing a glass or serving a drink

Ela May 22 2015 2:20 pm he's like..everywhere

I just couldn't help laughing every time i found him in any movie/dorama i watched, great actor he is hahaha
