Long Read - Actors and also Singers - Kdrama

Over the past 2-3 years, my attention has been shifted from Bollywood to kdrama!

I finally took the plunge one day and have not stopped watching kdrama ever since. There are just too many to watch and too little time. What makes it difficult is there are way plenty of different genres available. With Netflix, it makes the choices even unlimited. 

However, I will not be talking about kdrama in this post. Instead, I am dedicating this post to actors and actress, including my favourites, and the song that they sing which is my favourite, since some sang plenty of songs. I am still amazed at how good they are as both actors and singers and some are even good dancers!  

In random orders:

So Ji Sub

Before I even started watching his classic drama I'm Sorry, I Love You I came across him singing one of the songs in the drama. Was obsessed watching this video of him singing for a period of time as I can't stop admiring his manly features. Like other normal person, I started youtube-ing him and came across another song that he sang which is also my favourite, Picnic

A little back story. So Ji Sub is both actor and rapper. How amazing is that! 

Song Joong-ki 

I started watching him in Descendants of the Sun and later watched him in his earlier drama, Innocent Man. Found out he sang the OST for this song and this live rendition of Really is my favourite. 

Lee Seung Gi

I have two favourite songs, Last Word from his drama Gu Family Book and his own song, Return

Lee Joon Gi

Fell in love with this man and his character Wang So from Moon Lovers. Apparently he's been singing the OST For You from this drama during most of his Meet and Greet sessions. I like these 2 the most because he's super cute in here and super hot in this one. 

Gong Yoo

I started watching him in Goblin and then watched his earlier works and again found out he sang the OST It's You from his drama Big.  

Suzy

Like Seung Gi, I found out she sang the OST Don't Forget Me in Gu Family Book and I can't believe how good her singing is. Her live singing is just as good as the album version. 

Choi Jin Hyuk

Another Gu Family Book OST another singer! I like his deep voice when he sings Best Wishes To You . Saw the live version he sang during one of his Meet and Greet and man was he intense and serious in his singing.

Hyun Bin

He sang That Man  in his drama Secret Garden. I don't like his character but I absolutely love him singing this OST. It's just full of emotions and his voice fits perfectly. Can't help observing how shy he seems when he sings live. The way he holds the mic and just stand in one position.. 

Ji Chang Wook

I know he sang plenty of songs but the one that I like is from one of his drama, Warrior Baek Dong Soo which I have not watched yet I just love the song, Meet Again. One thing I notice is he's such a serious and intense singer when he's performing on stage. 

Special Mention to my 1st fav Oppa: Jo In Sung

So far I didn't find any clips of him singing any OST or song from his own drama but he sang in one variety show and he looks super adorable singing and dancing.  

Also, special mention to Park Hae Jin for his great dancing skills. Found some clips of him singing but nah. His dance though 👏👏

I have seen plenty yet I still can't get over how these actors can also sing so well. Some are professional singers and have also released their own albums yet they take both craft seriously and that's how this post came about 😊
