Korean media recently completed a special project, visiting about 100 professionals from 41 performing arts-related companies, including TV series directors and screenwriters, ranking the top 10 actors with the highest ranking in TV series casting in 2020! This list is not distinguished between men and women. Because there are many actors with the same votes in the top 10, a total of 13 Korean stars with high popularity in the industry have squeezed into the top 10!
The actor who won the first place is the protagonist candidate for every director. Although the 200 million yuan per episode is the most expensive among Korean stars at present, he still defeated the three popular kings of Park Seo-joon, Jun Ji-hyun, and Hyun Bin . It is very, very not simple! Let’s immediately announce the top 10 rankings in TV series casting in 2020!
No. 6: Park Min-young
representative works: " City Hunter " " Why is Secretary Kim like that "
It is really difficult to select Park Min-young's representative works, because she debuted in 2006 and has starred in TV series that are popular in the year! The Song Joong Ki, Lee Min Ho, , Park Seo-joon, and Kim Jae-wook who have worked with have praised her acting skills.
No. 6: Kim Woo-bin
Representative works: " Heirs " "Arbitrary Attachment"
Bae Suzy After filming "Arbitrary Attachment", he was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer. Three years after retiring from the film industry in 2017, Kim Woo-bin has just announced his return, and directors of various dramas have already begun to compete for the male lead.
No. 6: Lee Ji-eun IU
Representative works: "My Uncle" "Drunner Hotel"
IU is the only actress among 20 years old + actors to squeeze into the top ten! Although it is a bit surprising that Kim Ji-won , Kim Go-eun, and Park Shin-hye did not make the list, the scripts IU receives every year are extremely high in the industry statistics. He debuted as a singer-songwriter, and no one expected that IU would be shortlisted for the Korean Acting Awards several times after entering the film and television industry.
No. 5: Kong Liu
representative works: " Coffee Prince No. 1 Store ", "Lonely and brilliant Ghost "
After "Coffee Prince No. 1 Store" starring Yoon Eun Hye became popular in 2007, Gong Liu's TV series actually didn't have many works, and it was not until "Ghost" that it reached its peak in his career; the movies " Busan Tour " and "Kim Ji-young, born in 82, are also hot topics around the world. The handsome uncle's image made Kong Yoo awarded the title of one of the four major public wealth in South Korea, and his popularity has remained high yet!
No. 5: Sun Yizhen
representative works: "The beautiful sister who often invites to dinner in " "Crash landing of love"
The fairy-like girl who was once in " Summer Scent " " Love Era ". 15 years later, she set out again as her sister and captured the hearts of fans and directors again! In fact, it is not surprising that Sun Yizhen is as famous as Gong Yoo in the ranking of casting in TV series. Because she keeps her private life extremely secret, she is very compatible with any male actor forming a CP.
No. 5: Jiang Hena
Representative works: "Scarlet Heart: Beautiful" "Cambola Blooming"
Jiang Hena exists in every favorite Korean drama . I remember every character that is deeply rooted in the hearts of people, but I don't necessarily remember his name. However, in recent years, Jiang Hena has finally gradually made a fortune for himself! Then when he played the leading role for the first time, he won the Best Actor of the Baeksang Art Awards in "When Camellia Blooms"! He defeated four powerful actors: Namong Min , Park Seo-joon, Ju Ji-hoon , and Hyun Bin!
No. 4: Namong Min
Representative works: "Chief Jin" " Prisoner Doctor "
for many years, and won the Best Actor Award for SBS and KBS Acting Awards for works such as "Beautiful Girl Kong Xin", "Operation", and "Chief Jin". Their strength cannot be underestimated! Nam Gong Min beat Kong Yoo in the TV series casting rankings, and the same ranking as Park Bo Gum . He has the idol appearance and the acting skills of an old actor, and it is difficult for directors not to like it.
No. 4: Park Bo Gum
representative works: " Please answer 1988" " Moonlight by Clouds "
" starring Park Bo Gum has been the most classic drama in the hearts of Koreans since its premiere in 2015! He partnered with the little drama bone Kim Yu-jung in "The Moonlight of Clouds". At that time, he defeated " Moon Embracing the Sun" Kim Soo-hyun and was awarded the title of National Crown Prince! Park Bo Gum's youthful face and mature manly temperament are also called the national son-in-law because of his fans of different ages.
No. 3: Kong Xiaozhen
Representative works: "The Lord's Sun", "It's OK, it's love! 》
There are countless classic Korean dramas starring Kong Xiaozhen, including So Ji-sup "The Sun of the Lord" and Zhao In-sung "It's OK, it's love! 》, Cao Zhengshi " The Incarnation of Jealousy ", and "Camel Flowers Blooming" which won the best TV Awards at the 2020 Baeksang Art Awards. Such a Korean drama queen has the average viewership ratings of TV series starring never less than double digits, so she is also called the ratings queen!
No. 3: Hyun Bin
Representative works: " Secret Garden " "Crash Landing of Love"
Like Kong Xiaozhen, every TV series starring Hyun Bin is a big topic of the year! Since starring in " My Name is Kim Sansun " in 2005, rumors about Hyun Bin's heroines have never stopped, but in fact, there is another interesting thing about him. When Hyun Bin joined the army, he could voluntarily join the Marine Corps because of his height of 185cm. Because of his training in the army, he was very familiar with various snipers and gun battles in " Memories of the Alhambra ", and since then he has transformed into a tough uncle!
No. 3: Jun Ji-hyun
Representative works: "You from the Stars" " Legend of the Blue Ocean "
km Xiaozhen, Hyun Bin, and Jun Ji-hyun are all actors who have debuted in Korea for a long time and have a very high influence. Do you really want to watch the TV series they starred in together? However, there is another important factor in Jeon Ji-hyun's victory over the previous two actors. She is the highest paid actress in 2020! She took on the role in her masterpiece "Kingdom" with a pay of 100 million won per episode, which is really unmatched. "Zhi Yishan" starring Park Seo-jun, which has started filming a few days ago, will also premiere in 2021.
No. 2: Park Seo-joon
Representative works: "Why Secretary Kim is like that" "Itaewon Class"
This TV series casting ranking list is here, and I believe there is a bottom for the first and second places. The difference between the two is really only a little bit, and the second place is Lizitou Park Seo-joon! In recent years, Park Seo-joon has challenged various different types of roles in "Her She is Beautiful ", "Handle 3rd Rate Road " and "Why Secretary Kim is like that", and her acting skills are impeccable! In 2020, he became the number one in the online viewing rate of South Korea's Netflix with "Itaewon Class". Park Seo-joon is a man who can rely on his appearance and popularity to support a work, but he insists on using his perfect acting skills to prove himself.
No. 1: Kim Soo Hyun
Representative works: "You from the Stars" "Although Is Mental Is Not Much"
As soon as he retired from the army, he became a hot Korean drama of the year with "Although Is Mental Is Not Much". Kim Soo Hyun's popularity is amazing! He was no surprise at all that he was named the first-choice actor in TV series in 2020! However, all this glory is accumulated bit by bit! Kim Soo-hyun is also a loyal man in the Korean entertainment industry. He made a special guest appearance in IU's "Drunner Hotel" and Hyun Bin's "Crash Landing of Love", earning a lot of ratings for his close friends in the circle.
However, a recent story about Kim Soo Hyun is a bit amazing! Korean media revealed that Kim Soo-hyun's "Although I'm Mental, It's OK" has a single episode of 200 million won, twice that of Jeon Ji-hyun! Such a sky-high pay beat Park Seo-joon and Hyun Bin to become the first-choice actors in the TV series.
