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.

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.

@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!”
