Ji Chang Wook is my favourite actor I have seen many of his k -dramas I wish I could see this but I can’t as I live in the uk and we don’t get JTBC so I hope it will eventually be on Netflix. he’s really talented at what he does and he’s been doing this for many years now he deserves awards for it.

I'll give this a go, but I don't really like the romcoms he does, they're usually a bit too silly for me.

.

He's very versatile, The Worst of Evil was the best thing he's ever done, and I loved Healer, The K2, and The Sound of Magic. If You Wish Upon Me was thought provoking and watchable, but for me, he's at his best when he's kicking ass rather than trying to be 'funny' or 'sweet'.
