No one can resist Kyungsoo's charm when he displays his amazing acting skills. According to Journalist Jae, D.O is able to portray his characters to the fullest.

"If you haven't watched IT'S OKAY, THAT'S LOVE, I highly recommend it. This title is one of the few Korean dramas that I give a perfect score of 4/4. D.O truly portrays a sweet high school student, who turns out to be different from what the viewers initially think."

2. Kim Taehyung (V BTS)

In Jae's eyes, V has captivating acting skills. In just one role, V is able to portray two contrasting personalities at the same time.

"Taehyung (aka V) can appear cute in HWARANG, but he also showcases his acting abilities in the role of a nobleman carrying the burden of his family on his shoulders. Behind his wide smile, he projects the pain and uncertainty that his character is experiencing."

3. Park Hyung Sik ZE:A

Jae praised the extraordinary acting skills of Park Hyung Sik. According to Jae, Hyung Sik has a unique charm when displaying his acting abilities in dramas.

"He has played various great roles, but one of my favorite characters is STRONG WOMAN DO BONG SOON, where he showed amazing chemistry with Park Bo Young. He played his character with a passionate and mischievous charm."

4. Suzy

Jae highlighted the focused acting skills of Suzy after leaving Miss A. The journalist praised Suzy's acting ability to convince viewers.

"Suzy has shown great progress since starring in DREAM HIGH. Portraying a journalist uncovering cases in the drama WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING, Suzy truly understands her role. Yes, she got caught up in the Second Male Lead syndrome that often appears in Korean dramas, but she was able to delve into her character and display convincing acting skills."

5. IU

As a top singer, IU also proves that she is really good at acting. Jae highlights IU's extraordinary acting range in several drama titles she starred in.

"IU was very successful with HOTEL DEL LUNA last year. But the Korean drama that truly showcases her acting range is MY AHJUSSI. Her character goes through so many trials to live a normal and smooth life."

6. Chanyeol EXO

Chanyeol is said to have great acting potential. Jae admits that it took him some time to realize that Chanyeol has his own charm when acting.

"Park Chanyeol plays a game developer in the thriller drama MEMORIES OF THE ALHAMBRA. I knew he was in this drama, but it took me a while to realize that it was him. There is a high possibility of overacting for a role like this, but he successfully portrays a teenager who is afraid of death."
