For each week in this feature I really want to explore an Actor or an actress, and to basically let myself fan girl over their beauty… So who better to start off with than Shin Sung-Rok?! I have decided to go for an actor this week since he is amazing, and I have just finished watching an episode of a series he has been in, and he portrayed a villain beautifully!
Shin Sung-Rok is quite unknown to many people that I have spoken to, and he has said himself he prefers playing characters in the theatre than TV, but I believe he is one of the most talented actors out there, and very underrated. He has always been in quite unknown TV shows (Dracular, Thank You, My Life’s Golden Years) and even when he has been playing characters in these shows, he has always been a supporting character. In the theatre world however, he has been in many, many hit musicals, and critics have always been impressed with his vocals and his acting.
In 2013 (so very recent times) he came into one of the most popular TV shows of that year. My Love from the Star was an extremely popular TV show in South Korea, sweeping the board at award shows and getting very high ratings. He was the main villain in this TV show, playing a villainous business man. He was loved by many, and was often picked out as being very scary, and many people soon got to hear his name in other places other than the theatre. This gave him the starting point he needed to go into other TV shows, and… get ready, this next one you know is my favourite show of all time!
Trot Lovers came out in 2014, and you guessed it, he was in that! This is where my love for him came from. Although he was back to playing an supporting role, I would still count it as a main role considering he was in nearly every episode - and tackled very good storylines. He played the CEO of a talent agency, but he falls for the main actress. He is brilliant in this, and very believable yet again. You wouldn’t even think he could be a villain if you just watched this, since he is very adorable - You want things to go right for him.
His acting continues to impress me, and not to mention he is very cute. I really hope he is in more TV shows soon, even though I know he loves his theatre performances, being an international fan I would prefer to watch him on the TV.
Which is your favourite show by him?
Happy Reading!
Emily :D
