Am I the only American who has seen quite a similarity with the two?! This is a compliment, btw ♥️ What a character he is! Magda Apr 27 2025 2:58 pm Very good actor, but I find him to be very annoying in every drama I’ve seen where he’s in it. Maybe because just about always he plays the villain. Don’t know? Just don’t like him. But! That’s how good of an actor he is in his role, that he makes you dislike him. NAJJE PROSSY Nov 18 2024 4:24 am my best actor in may queen. I liked the way he loved his woman S May 03 2024 11:25 am Superb acting as seol in kwi in Dae jo yeong. Even better than his in Iron Empress. Jillibean Jan 01 2024 10:16 am Liked him best in May Queen and Hyde Jekyll and I. Always worthwhile to watch this veteran actor strut his stuff. donna gillen Mar 18 2023 5:01 am Masterful performance in The Red Sleeve. High drama without falling into bathos in climactic scene. Anon Feb 13 2023 6:15 am I love his character in Business Proposal. In Fact, he’s my fav chatacter in business proposal xD without him it will be bland DramaHeir Oct 05 2022 11:51 pm He is such a talent. He can make you hate him and then he goes and does something like Suspicious Partner and Business Proposal and you end up laughing with him. I truly enjoy his villains but I am happy when he does comedy. ? Queen K May 11 2022 2:28 pm Excellent actor. Red sleeve on point. I love him Fadhila fasya Dec 24 2021 12:03 pm I cried along with you on The Red Sleeve. what a performance ♥️♥️♥️♥️ meow Dec 20 2021 1:23 pm What an amazing actor he is! 2013 King Injo amazed me, but 2021 King Youngjo is an undeniable must-Daesang character he has played for this year. Faith Dec 19 2021 9:47 am Such good acting in Red Sleeve, not easy character to play as king and grandfather and varied emotions displayed I hope he wins the Daesang this year!! peper Dec 14 2021 4:23 am Great actor! very impressive with role of old and mental issue emperor in RedSleeve Gift Nov 21 2021 8:59 am Glad u are back. Love ur acting jen bo Oct 25 2020 10:55 am you are truly great in both funny and serious acting. wow!!. stay safe, good health and god bless sir.. c",) kh Jan 04 2019 6:48 pm just watch 'master in the house' and you touched my heart..great respect for you Diane Mar 10 2018 11:18 am Always, always the best in acting. I have to say your role in "Giant" was my favorite, and one of my favorite dramas overall. The story of the "Miracle on the Han River", as the rapid development of South Korea was called, was truly exceptional. Z Dec 22 2017 1:20 pm My lovely 'mafia father'! My ideal figure of the extreme super very rich and evil father. Lol!!!!! "Dad, hope you always be health. I'll marry my lovely man even you not agree at all. Sorry!" Sincerly, your lovely daughter. Rotfl Someone Jul 11 2017 7:19 pm Hahahaah he's so funny... he's the best!!!! helomekinvegas Jun 09 2017 8:14 am He is funny and "cute" in Suspicious Partner. We've seen him in a bunch of dramas, always serious and strict. This is a nice change. Hotelier May 25 2017 7:36 am I watch one of Take good care of our fridge with Lee Deok Hwa as guest, it's so funny!!! I never know that he wear a wig. And he even make jokes about it. Lol. Thumbs up ahjussi. MeTaLcIcC Feb 26 2017 4:06 pm For me, be either Ui Min from one of the best drama ever ,,Age Of Warriors,, or be the khitan warrior/chinese general ,,Xue Ringi,, from Dae JoYoung, or anything else, you simply smuggle smile or laughter in my house! Btw, my Mom loves you as well! Congratulations for your lifetime work-award! Live a long, happy and healthy life! evie Jan 23 2016 5:00 am The best antagonist korean drama that i've ever known^^ El Bee Aug 09 2015 3:39 pm Disclaimer: I dislike actors being typecast so very much, despite understanding how Pacino or even Hugh Grant generated an automatic idea of their so called perfect role from very early on what with their respective tough and adorably shy first impressions... That said, despite being so frequently cast to play bad guys-be it empathy-lacking fathers or mob boss-like unforgiving leaders, you manage to make my blood boil so so much! As a side note, those villainous eyebrows don't hurt your skills at acting downright deplorable for the camera... First I saw Hyde, Jekyll, Me then My Heart Twinkle Twinkle (your brows finally not out to dominate and squash any+all opponents with bad dad&scary boss flare) then Hotel King and (following Ji Sung's works admittedly) Secret Love and All In (glad the makeup and lighting improved since that was filmed--they even made your face gaunt in one episode!)... You always have full command and the camera eats your passion up to feed the viewers such satisfying performances-you convince us of both the genuinely scary nature and sympathy-possible rationale (tough love, aggression to scare off predators in a big business setting) when playing some of the toughest characters to play, particularly in trying to appeal to and convince audiences. For that, I commend and thank you. I hope your health allows you to keep working many more years. JustMe Aug 07 2015 7:02 am Really amazing actor. He almost everytime plays bad father or soroles similar to it, but he's truly amazing. shin May 01 2015 4:51 am very good actor he is so talented no one can win against his skills in evil roles....love his acting sara Mar 29 2015 2:48 pm if it is fair play game , you should have been awarded for your role in hotel king but it is not .you and lee dong wook were amazing Malu Feb 01 2015 1:51 am Absolutely hateful in Hotel King, great performance, the best male villain I've seen. Miss X Jan 16 2015 10:37 am Loved all your roles, especially in Giant! <3 kdrama lover Jan 10 2015 8:50 am Your role in Hotel King is really hateful! Your acting is super. Job well done Mr. Lee Deok-Hwa! :) haryati Dec 25 2014 11:52 pm you are the best antagonist of Korean dramas！ gumiho Aug 10 2014 3:25 am Lee Deok-Hwa, in the recent hotel king drama, although your role being an evil people made me angry watching "lee jung ku" 's unforgivable sins, but still i admit your acting are great really to make your role feels so real... good job Lee Deok-Hwa!! it was really worth watching . ninja Jun 05 2014 4:30 am I know he is good at acting, but after watching Hotel King, I absolutely hate him without reason. HATE HATE HATE................ TC Mar 16 2013 5:59 pm I really enjoyed Seol In-Kwi in Dae Jo Young, every Goguryeo rising leader seems to give him such a headache but he's tenacious in trying to get rid of them all. I'd almost feel sorry for him if he weren't such a ruthless aggressor. Fanny Jan 25 2013 12:41 pm your acting in May Queen truly amazing, you really deserved that golden acting award. i cried until my eyes swollen, for me, this whole series won't be complete without you. ... speechless .. for me, in May Queen, you are the Best!!! >.< Davia Dec 19 2012 6:21 pm Your portrayal of Jang Do-Hyun in May Queen is fantastic. I really enjoy watching this character even though he is so "bad", which goes to show how well you acted him. Usually I am really hate watching the "bad guys". Show the 26 previous comments...
