The Luckiest Actors in 2013

Drama producers recently voted on who the luckiest actors were in 2013, but perhaps luck has less to do with it than having a knack for roles that would appeal to the public.

Results of the survey, answered by 30 producers appeared in TV Report and covered dramas that ran from January to November 2013.

Obviously lucky were Lee Bo Young and Lee Jong Suk. He received 16 out of 30 votes for their work, while she got 17.

They topped the charts for their work together in "I Hear Your Voice." So many viewers started watching that drama thinking they were the most unlikely couple but ended up wholeheartedly rooting for them to succeed. Lee Bo Young also rated highly for her role in the weekend drama "My Daughter Seo Young, which had ratings as high as 47 percent.

Lee Jong Suk was already a star because of his role in "School 2013" and he went on to appear in the film "The Face Reader," which has already earned awards.

"I Hear Your Voice" and "Secrets" were two of the year's biggest and most unexpected hits. Thanks to "Secrets," Lee Bo Young's new husband Ji Sung got eight votes, while his co-star Hwang Jung Eum earned seven.

Runners-up included Joo Won with five votes, for "Good Doctor," Kim Jae Won with two votes for "Scandal," and Bae Soo Bin and Yoon Sang Huk with a single vote.

Lee Da Hee got three votes for shining in both "Secrets" and "I Hear Your Voice." Runners-up included Gong Hyo Jin, Han Ji Hye, Moon Chae Won and Ha Ji Won.

Talent did not prevent some stars from appearing in ratings failures. Which were the unluckiest stars when it came to picking out poorly performing dramas? Moon Geun Young won that category, even though she has proven she can shine in historical dramas. Kim Myung Min won eight votes for the highly forgettable "King of Drama."

Yoon Eun Hye started the year well with the drama "Missing You,' but then signed on to the romantic comedy "Future's Choice," which did not fare well in the ratings. Jung Ryeo Won appeared in "Medical Top Team" which spent most of its run in third place. They tied with Son Ye Jin, who appeared in the promising but unsatisfying drama "Shark."

As to unlucky men, Uhm Tae Woong got six votes for "Blade and the Petal," Kwon Sang Woo followed with five votes for "Medical Top Team." Lee Dong Gun got a vote for "Future's Choice" and Ju Ji Hoon earned one for "Medical Top Team."

Fortunately ratings and producers' opinions are not the sum total of what makes a much-loved drama. Be sure to vote in our poll and let us know which dramas were your favorites.
