Park shin hye is the best korean actress I have ever seen and she is the prettiest of them all.
Why is Ku hye Sun, the most talented, Versatile and most beautiful Korean actress, missing in the list?
Han Hyo Joo is the best
Han Hyo Joo - NO NO WAY! She got only 8% on this poll. Hahaha. I voted for Park Shin Hye. Majority of the people in this pool voted for her. Clap2x....
Han Hyo Joo is da best. Park Shin Hye no no way.

They are all great actresses but in terms of talent. I'd rate Kim sun ah first, then yoon eunhye, jun ji Hyun, ha ji won and Son ye Jin. Park shin hye is definitely talented and beautiful too. In terms of beauty. I think yoon eun hye is actually a natural beauty, son ye Jin, jun ji Hyun, Kim tae her, song hye kyo are really beautiful and shin min ah is definitely d cutest of all. By the way where is lee Bo young bcos she's one actress dat gets beautiful as d a series progresses.
I love you PARK SHIN HYE
Yoon Eun Hye is the best , is pretty , incredible , and Moon Chae Won too
I like them all but the most outstanding actress for me is park shin hye she has the looks to cope our attentions and a heart to captivate us... I think her personality being an actress is very very good... amazing keep it up .Godbless hope i will be like you

I am a huge fan of Han Hyo Joo. I also love Song hye Kyo and Ha Ji Won. These 3 actresses are my most favourite ones. Park Shin Je, something about her so boring, have never finished any of her dramas, needs to improve her acting, but she has lots of time ahead to do that. Yoon Eun Hye, the best kisser on screen :)
I love Park Min Young, big fan of her
Where is jun jihyun? Song hyekyo and park min young
Ha Ji Won is the DEFINITELY THE BEST~! She is the coolest and most versatile actress that I had ever seen, giving her best performing action, melodramas, comedies, historical dramas, etc. She's also the only actress that is always lit up with genuine smiles.
For me yoon eun hye because she is so attractive girl,,and i know that sje is one of the korean superstar,,,and also park min young she is pretty also
Yoon eun hye and kim tae hee are the best actress, i love them so much!

JUN JI HYUN / GIANNA JUN IS THE BEST!

@shinekayden
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful article.
Don't forget this..
Currently I believe that the beautiful and Cute Son Ye Jin is one of the best actress in Korean! Look how many awards di she have in her age (more than 30 awards) … Isn't it one of new record for Korean Actress?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_Ye-jin#Awards (https://www.google.com/search?q=son+ye+jin+awards&...
Son Ye Jin acting performance is always good and constantly look much better and better… I like her both as an actress or in the real live. Nice person, friendly, peace lover and far from any gossip. I saw all of her movie : Secret Tears, Chihwaseon, Delicious Proposal, Sun-hee & Jin-hee, Dae Mang The Great Hope, Lovers Concerto, The Classic, Crazy First Love, Summer Scent, Alone in Love, Spotlight, A Moment to Remember, April Snow, The Art of Seduction, Yobi the Five Tailed Fox (voice), Spotlight, Open City, and My Wife Got Married, Personal Taste, White Night, Spellbound, The Tower, Shark and Accomplice. I praise her performance is always above the average.
She changed her style from innocent girl/women to adult women since his performance in Art of seduction (one of her funniest movie beside Crazy First love).
Honestly i prefer The classic and Moment to remember than her adult and sexy performance in April Snow and Art of seduction but i realize that she want to be a versatile actress. I will always wait for her next movie. My Next movie target will be “The Pirate!”
