From Chaebol Heir to Con Artist to The King — Which of Lee Min Ho's Roles is Your Favorite?
We want more! Yes, we do! When his recent fantasy drama ended, many resulted to binge-watch Lee Min Ho's previous dramas. Among the roles he played, which one is your most favorite? He had been a chaebol heir, an architect, an IT expert, the king's bodyguard, an illegitimate heir, a con artist, and he has already been "The King."
His good looks and tantalizing eyes have got many to fall under his spell, and as fans, we just can't help ourselves but get giddy when he appears onscreen, and taking our eyes off from the screen is just too hard to do. The moment he grabs a leading lady by their arms and attempts to kiss them...come on, ladies, admit that you wipe that drool off your face.
Yes, he had been into many roles, but how about a doctor? Who would not want to be alone with Lee Min Ho if he is the doctor?
Well, let's take you down memory lane and reminisce as to why Lee Min Ho captured your heart in the first place.
First, he was a chaebol heir in the high school-themed drama "Boys Over Flowers." The fierce, intimidating, and serious look of Lee Min Ho as Goo Jun Pyo was the perfect role. Him being the leader of the F4 gang in an upscale school totally makes sense why many repeatedly watched his breakout role. And the young love between a regular girl and the most popular boy in the whole campus is a thing many would want to happen in their lives. Though he had curly hair, he still looks fabulous.
Second, he was an architect in the series "Personal Taste," where he was paired to Son Ye Jin. In this drama, he is a timid, over-organized, neat, and self-centered architect who was mistaken as gay, which eventually led him into living with a girl roommate. As he pretends to be gay, the two became close friends, and getting from the lie made it very difficult for him.
Third, he was an IT expert in the "City Hunter." An MIT graduate who went back to Korea, his main objective is to eliminate the officials responsible for his father's death. While doing the mission, he got entangled with the presidential bodyguard played by Park Min Young. His mysterious look made him look more appealing.
Fourth, he is the king's bodyguard in "Faith." Lee Min Ho played as the bodyguard to the king and captain and strategist to the warriors during the Goryeo period. He was a trusted protector of the king. When the Queen was fatally injured, he was given the order to enter a mysterious portal and find the heaven's doctor in the modern-day era.
Fifth, he was an illegitimate heir in "The Heirs." Here, he played a rich, bad boy role. He was the son of a mistress, hidden to the whole of Korea not to destroy his image, knowing he is the future heir to the Jeguk Group. One thing is for sure, his beach body and tan color during the filming in California is to-die-for!
Sixth, he was a con artist in "The Legend of the Blue Sea." We can say that he is one fine scam artist, who can easily fool people judging by the way he dresses and intimidates people around him. Who would have thought at one glance that he is a con man when he looks like a model in this series?
Seventh, he was the king in "The King: Eternal Monarch." He really fits being a royalty. Looking at him in those elegant wardrobes and stylish clothing, we would all want to be Detective Jung Tae Eul. Who could forget how dashing he looked wearing his navy uniform, ready to fight those Japanese soldiers?
And, of course, those lip-locking kisses and surprise kisses with Kim Go Eun? So heart-melting!
