One of my favorite reasons too!
He's such a versatile actor. Hilarious in "Pump Up the Healthy Love" & "Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale," tragic in "When Life Gives You Tangerines" & "Melo Movie."
He's one of my quests, so I've seen a lot of his work.

I agree with you 100%. Watch him in "Dreaming of a Freakin' Fairytale" & the movie "Love & Leashes" for more of his great comedy!
He also killed the non-comedic roles in "When Life Gives You Tangerines" & "Melo Movie" An all-around great actor!

*** Melo Movie (2025) ***
(Netflix 10 1:01 eps)[!!CW!! Synopsis & non-spoilery review.]
The title says *melodrama* - lots of emotion & minimal time on char. dev. In 10 eps, these fabulous A-list actors deliver. The cinematography is gorgeous & the OST suits a melodrama. [Note: eps titles are movie quotes]
ML, whose only interest has been movies, becomes interested in FL on a movie set where they are working. Their story takes a twisty path (Melo!) while the 2nd couple grapples with their own troubles. We also get a familial love story.
There are beautifully quotable lines: ["That’s the thing about the pain of a loss. At first, there’s so much going on that it doesn’t hit you. But when you need that person so desperately & you realize they can’t be there with you, that’s when the pain really sets in."]
Expect a melodrama & you won't be disappointed.

Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale
(2024 - Paramount 10 0:40 eps)A complete farce! Rich, arrogant, cold chaebol meets poor girl who readily admits she's looking for a Cinderella scenario. Both leads do grow as characters & the show has some good messages about being true to yourself, believing in yourself, & loving yourself 1st.
Decent chemistry - although Pyo Ye Jin disappointed a bit. 2nd lead (same as "Cheer Up") again in a horrible love triangle. Stupid antics, ridiculous meet-cutes, crazy animation & sound effects. Inside jokes about other dramas the actors have been in.
You have to meet this with the right mindset: it's crude & ludicrous. Somewhat similar vibe to "No Gain, No Love," but a common story & not nearly as well executed. Lee Jun Young does not take himself seriously at all - great comedy from him & tears too.

Love and Leashes
(2022 - Netflix, 1:57 movie)On a Lee Jun Young quest, I was surprised to find a movie with such mainstream stars delving into BDSM relationships in conservative Korean society. The acting & chemistry are marvelous. But what makes this movie is its stance against sexism, workplace discrimination & other societal problems. Private lives should be private.
The very competent ML's work life starts to fall apart when his coworker accidentally receives the large collar & leash he bought. There are some very funny moments, but respect for the characters' choices in life is consistent throughout. It touches on keeping yourself safe, respecting others, & doing what makes you happy.

Please Don't Date Him
(2020 - Viki, 10 1:00 eps)A surprising but too short gem of a romCOM. There are plays on words, silly physical comedy & have you seen the- FL-needs-to-wear-ML's-clothing-for-some-reason trope turned upside down before? A great scene of a photo shoot for the "hot" firefighters calendar. A fun watch for all that, but layered enough to ponder.
FL, an anti-hacker, develops an AI fridge that gets a chip that can check on her friends' dates, but not her guy. We get a little mystery about the off-the-grid ML.
A lovely womance - which I wanted more of & the ML doesn't do all the rescuing. Questions about social media, AI, trusting our instincts, is using private data, even with good intentions, justified? It also looks at misogyny in relationships & the workplace. It was a nice production with great acting!

The Impossible Heir
(2024 - Disney+/Hulu, 12 1:01 eps)Not a well-loved show by ratings. I paused for a while because I heard the end wasn't as hoped. Many people did not like the plot - a lot of corporate behind-the-scenes shenanigans propel the story & many thought the FL flat & cold. Women often get criticized for playing cold characters. Her character was supposed to be cold - it's even mentioned explicitly.
A great plot twist changes everything. Looking back, we see the true nature of the characters. Lee Jae Wook's character does a lot of thinking & he's great at conveying his thoughts silently.
The ending was open & I will interpret it to match my expectations. If you like a good production, corporate intrigue, little romance, open endings, & the actors in this series, it might be a good binge - keeping track of the twisty plot over time is tough.

May I Help You
(2022 - Prime, 16 1:10 eps)A funeral director who talks to the recently deceased repeatedly encounters a man & they help each other overcome their problems as they slowly realize their intertwined fate.
There's an overarching mystery to solve, but each episode is about the FL's latest client. The grief & pain of loss are nicely written. The pacing seems a bit slow, & the side stories were uneven. Some felt undeveloped & some seemed to be filler, not for plot advancement.
Acting was good with unexpectedly touching stories. Uncles were funny & sweet, with a cute bromance. The leads had good chemistry, but the romance felt underdeveloped. Choice of villain was unexpected, but it didn't fit. Important info shows up in the last episode. If we had known earlier, some of the stories might have had even more meaning. I did enjoy it, but it didn't realize its potential.

Let Me Be Your Knight
(2021 - Viki, 12 1:10 eps)What starts as a predictable drama about an idol group & a woman who comes to live in the group's house by posing as a psychiatrist ends as a nice story.
The FL was in "Waikiki" in a similar milquetoast role. The ML has some upcoming dramas that I'm anxious to watch now. With the right parts, I think both the leads could be great.
Everyone has a problem they need to face & that's what really makes this a decent story. OST works well with the action & some songs are catchy. The changing relationships of the groups' members were the compelling part of the story. There is a romance that drives a lot of ML's actions & healing, & a little love triangle. Trope-filled, a tiny bit angsty, fun music, & people overcoming problems create a fun to watch drama.
