K-drama Grim Reapers: Handsome Actors Who Portrayed Angels from the Underworld
From thriller to fantasy K-dramas, Hallyu never fails to amaze viewers with stunning visuals, especially when it comes to actors who play grim reapers.
Technically, these mythological characters known as angels of death are pretty scary supernatural creatures, K-dramaland illustrates them with handsome figures and not to mention someone with a stunning physique.
Whether it's an action fantasy or rom-com, here are five swoon-worthy K-drama grim reapers that will surely make one's heart melt.
SF9 Rowoon (Tomorrow)
The 25-year-old singer-actor is currently starring in MBC's "Tomorrow" alongside Kim Hee Sun.
SF9's Rowoon took on the role of Choi Joon Woong, who becomes a rookie grim reaper. He found himself living in the underworld after getting caught up in an unexpected encounter with two angels of death.
In the action fantasy K-drama, the South Korean heartthrob exudes different charms as he transforms into a contractual employee on the Crisis Management Team at Joomadeung. It is the spirit management headquarters of the afterlife led by the Jade Emperor (Kim Hae Sook.)

Lee Soo Hyuk (Tomorrow)
Lee Soo Hyuk for Tomorrow
While Rowoon mesmerized viewers with his charm as the new guy, "Tomorrow" featured the cold-blooded grim reaper Park Joong Gil played by Lee Soo Hyuk.
He intimidates everyone with his dapper looks and icy stare as he transforms into Guiding Management Team's elite leader.
Unlike Choi Joon Woong's group, Park Joong Gil believes that the angels of death shouldn't interfere with humans and firmly believes in adhering to the rules.
As seen in MBC's "Tomorrow," Lee Soo Hyuk's character dons an all-black sleek suit and exudes an emotionless expression.
Yun Ji On (Tomorrow)
Yoo Ji On for Tomorrow
Far from the looks of the typical grim reaper, Yun Ji On's character in "Tomorrow" opts for the street-style vibe.
He plays Kim Hee Sun's assistant named Im Ryung Goo, who clocks out on the dot.
Lee Dong Wook (Goblin)
The list of K-drama grim reapers would not be complete without the OG Lee Dong Wook for his role in "Goblin."
Playing the role of Wang Yeo, a.k.a the Grim Reaper, his responsibility is to bring in the souls of those who have died, allowing them to pass on to the afterlife.
Unfortunately, being a grim reaper means he has no memories of his past.
In the hit 2016 K-drama, Lee Dong Wook wore an all-black ensemble with his long dark coat and the iconic black hat.
Song Seung Heon (Black)
Versatile actor Song Seung Heon took on the role of Han Moo Gang, a detective possessed by the Grim Reaper.
Things get complicated after he falls in love with the moral named Kang Ha Ram portrayed by Go Ara.
