Kk Apr 23 2026 9:51 am Hi Lee Sung-Min,

I’m late to watch Misaeng, because I just started watching K-dramas about a year ago. And I just finished it now.

Since watching you as Oh Sang-Sik, I became your fan. Your acting is so real and strong.

I will watch more of your dramas one by one.

I wish you always stay healthy, and your family too aamiin

Best!

Russell Jul 15 2025 12:04 am Look at that resume! Incredible! I have no words that can adequately express my awe for his acting skills!

Dreamer Jul 13 2025 3:44 am He was unbelievable in Misaeng.. Still can't get enough of him.. He portrayed the character Cheif Oh to the level of mastery.. No one can reach near him... A Very Mesmerising Actor.

Jillibean Feb 01 2025 3:16 am I agree with fan, below. He was superb in King 2 Hearts, an unforgettable masterpiece. Also loved him in Misaeng and many other dramas. A born actor. :)

Anna Dec 14 2022 11:00 am Amazing Actor! He's De Niro of S Korea. Loved him in Misaeng, cried a river in Memory (I love this show soo much), he did great in Money Game and this year, another 3 amazing performances in Juvenile Justice, Shadow Detective & Reborn Rich.

noi Dec 14 2022 4:58 am I can't believe they didn't give Lee Sangmin daesang during Misaeng. Now they have to give him one for Reborn Rich.

bora Dec 08 2022 4:25 am 2022 really is the year for him. from juvenile justice, shadow detective, then reborn rich. he really portrayed the characters excellently, especially in reborn rich. I just keep being mesmerized by his act performing Jin Yang-cheol. very very charismatic and really proves how he really is into that role. definitely an A-list actor he is.

That you were recognized by so many well deserved awards made me so happy. Your massive body of work brings a huge smile to my face, warmth to my heart & thrill to my own creative sensibilities at being able to watch all the characters you will have brought alive before our eyes, your fans.

Abyss Feb 27 2020 3:29 am Back after watching Misaeng, now watching Memory. Misaeng was good, yupp, I only wish there was a second season so that the ending wouldn't have been so rough!

(And so we would have seen more Geu Rae - Sang Shik interaction?)

bingbing Feb 17 2020 3:25 am Reply to @Abyss: I also recommend you to watch Movie Beast & the Spy gone north...

bingbing Feb 17 2020 3:23 am Reply to @Abyss: you must watch Misaeng & Memory (both from tvN)...he received best actor awards from Misaeng drama. I cried a lot watched Memory.

Abyss Feb 14 2020 5:33 am Money Game is the first time I've seen this ajusshi, but because of it, I went to watched Sori, will watch Misaeng too, seeing all the rave reviews on him there.

Not sure about the rest, but am very much enjoying his expressive acting in Money Game! Hope to see him more in the future.

CeCedoodles Dec 23 2019 8:03 am Didn't think that I would stay with this kdrama but did with interest and absolutely loved Lee Sung Min and would like to see more of his work. Also actor who played his next in command, Kim Dae-Myung.

shuurinn Jun 25 2015 11:28 am Loved his acting performance as Manager Oh Sang Sik in Misaeng. Wish he would get more meaty roles like this. Fighting!

Jane Jun 07 2015 9:29 pm I love Jo Insung in "It's Okay It's Love" and Jisung in "Kill Me Heal Me" because they acted really great there...BUT you set the bar high...your acting in Misaeng moved me and you nailed the role...you need to win it because you're so great in there...though Siwan is there (and he's great too) but you're the center of Misaeng. Congratulations!!! You're more than deserved the award ^^

Misstumbler Jun 06 2015 1:03 pm Fighting oppa ! You did a great job in Misaeng. Your acting is very natural and believable. You nailed that role. Thumbs up. Hope you get more good roles in the future.

double10day Apr 28 2015 2:26 am YEAY!!!!!!! my guess is correct. He's nominated for excellent actor category in Baeksang Award!!!!

lisy Apr 23 2015 4:28 pm i love himm the most in misaeng he is amazing (and i liked the cf version of mesaeng that he did with hyun bin for the insurance company ) hope him and hyun bin will have a drama together soon

Ajay Mar 07 2015 7:28 am I love his character in Misaeng....Daebak....

double10day Mar 04 2015 4:04 am I kinda root for him to get a Daesang at Baeksang award this year for his perfect portrayal of Oh Sang Shik Chajang-nim!

Yongin Feb 22 2015 2:13 am Anyone who only reading about 'Misaeng' in news articles probably will thinking the drama is centered in Siwan's Jang Geu-rae character and his struggle on the workplace. However, if we really watching the drama until the last episodes, it was Lee Sungmin's acting that brought a nice sense of reality on this drama.

Siwan's acting as Jang Geu-rae is wonderful and he truly did his best to portray the character's hardship and emotion on Misaeng. However, Lee Sungmin's acting is more mind-blowing. He as Section Chief Oh character is become the heart and soul of 'Misaeng'.

Lee Sungmin's acting experience successfully counterbalanced Im Siwan's talent, creating a powerful and realistic dynamic between two actors and the characters they portrayed, that will subsequently lasting even until the very last second of the last episode, making the drama is very enjoyable to watch.

I already keep the eyes on him during 'Pasta' days and even with him acted only as a supporting character, his acting on 'Pasta' was always catch my attention. His acting skill is simply amazing and really no joke, comparing with the other popular actors that can not acting and only relied on their appearances.

Lee Sungmin is one of few Korean actors that we can really say as 'actor'. Good job!

ken Jan 15 2015 1:59 pm Kings 2 Heart...He was a great King that encouraged his brother to become Excellent King.... Miss Korea, He see potential in the lead actor... believe and sacrifices everything for him to achieve his goals.... Misaeng......He's a great team leader that inspires and harness Jang Geu Rae talents....allowing him to think outside the box and achieve great things......

He's a great actor who does well at inspiring the leads to exceed their limits....

hobbes Dec 21 2014 4:59 am amazing! Watched Misaeng and have never seen such spot on acting and Ive watched 100s of K dramas ( and NEVER commented before)....he is truly amazing with his acting. ThAt drama was polished as Ive never yet seen. and Lee sung-min topped it. Thank you.

HEN Nov 25 2014 8:11 pm I like his dramatic roles more than the comedic ones. I really liked him in The Kings 2Hearts, this one-Golden Time, and even his role in When A Man Loves.

Hendra Nov 15 2014 7:55 pm Omg he is so handsome and i love your acting in drama kings 2 heart

sally Nov 12 2014 11:40 am love this actor so much, you were so cool in The king 2 hearts, Miss Korea and now in Misaeng!

Ginger Nov 10 2014 3:55 pm I am enjoying your work in "Misaeng"!! Fighting Oppa!

karlo Jan 07 2014 8:37 am wow, you spend too much time in MBC

Dian Dec 05 2013 9:49 am I like the way you play your cast....soooooo....handsome!!!!

Mr. 818 Jul 26 2013 3:06 am Like his acting in TK2H as a responsible and warm king :)

Gasenadi Jul 24 2012 8:55 am He is KILLING IT in "Golden Time" as the fearless, maverick, devoted surgeon facing off against the "system". Makes me glad Lee Sung Min is such a familiar face in the industry. Loved him in King 2 Hearts (who didn't?). Have seen him in several movies and dramas. But his role in Golden Time is awesome. Hope to see him in more roles like this.

GYS Mar 24 2012 12:24 pm I first saw him in Brain although i've watch My Princess but i don't recall seeing him acting inside, lol. He is a very funny man in Brain, esp. his laugh and the way he clip his eyelashes haha, i must admit though, he is not a very good neurosurgeon in Brain, actually abit useless but still he provide enough entertainment to make up for his lack of ability inside that show. He would do well in a comedy drama. Will be watching out for him in King 2 hearts soon.

SAK Mar 21 2012 5:25 pm i like his acting...especially in "Brain", as a talented neurosurgeon, ambitious and extremely funny man! today in the first episode of "King 2 Hearts" as a King, i did' not even recognized him, he is sooooo young and very handsome! i think he did a great job with all that politics and unification issue, and played a protective elder bro for the main character in this drama!
