1. Just Between Lovers 2. The Red Sleeve Cuff 3. other beanies, continue...

I absolutely loved him in Chief Kim. It was such a great drama and Seo Yul was a very interesting character. Junho is great with facial expressions and he and Nam Goong-min really matched well together on the screen. I would love to see them in another drama together, like a thriller.

Oh, this is an easy one for me. It’s Good Manager/Chief Kim. Some folks think his acting is grumpy and wooden. I say, sure, maybe. Not really. I quite think he fits the role.

But really…I’m just in it to watch him eat with flourish and gusto.

Here’s a super-cut of all the scenes of him doing so, courtesy of the Beanies in the original weekly recap postings. Trust me. No translated subtitles needed.

Chief Kim/Good Manager where he plays an excellent antihero
Just between lovers is an absolute must, angsty and sweet
I really enjoyed Wok of Love at the time which is a lot of eccentric fun (I remember a talking horse, although I don’t think it was received well and it only talked once.)
Red Sleeve, I avoid sageuks but the actors were great

It’s not a bad order to watch in as it intersperses comedy with the feels, but you can also choose to start or end with your favorite genres.

My choices are first, Chief Kim and second, Wok of Love although it’s a bit uneven.

Just Between Lovers!

I liked him the film TWENTY tho it’s definitely bro humour which can be crass at times

Still waiting for the sequel THIRTY…

It is a massive human tragedy that this post does not include photos.

(I know the Beanie Recs don't, perhaps so we aren't swayed, but if ever there were an argument for an exception it should be Junho up there making it in one of his roles as a lawyer with a sharp suit and a sneer.)

You could say I'm not a fan (or at least not a good one) because I've seen him in several roles without noticing it's the same person ("oh that's the guy who played..."), but on the other hand I've liked his performance in each one: Memories of the Sword, Chief Kim, Just Between Lovers, well not so much Wok of Love but that was probably the character, but my sentimental favorite is Memory.

this doesn't quite fit within the parameters of this chat, but i wish he could be in a drama where he dances or at the very least dyes his hair like during this idol years *ducks to avoid scorn*.

The movie, Twenty, for me. It's a bonus that the movie also has Kim Woo-bin and Kang Ha-neul. The pairing of KHNs younger sister and Junho was very cute.

I would say the parody of Cinderella Sister😂. Not only you get to see Junho, but you also get to see 5 extra good looking "actors" as well.

I would say good luck in your journey discovering Junho's work because most of the time new fans end up surfing Youtube and they'll be trapped.

Joke aside my personal favorite is still Chief Kim, his character is delightful. In my dream I would ask Park Jae-bom to write the prequel about Seo Yul.

No one smolders quite like Junho. So it’s no wonder he’s excelled in melodramas like JBL and TRS. However, the few moments he breaks through that gruffness. *Swoon*

I think Wok of Love might have shown his sweeter side but that show was just so uneven I dropped it early on. Maybe I can do a fast forward of just his scenes?

I have Chief Kim on my list. Will bump it up thanks to beanies.

Red Sleeve Cuff is my first recommendation He was on another level there.
I also liked Wok of Love and if you call handle some heavy themed healing dramas Just Between Lovers

Since you are new to Junho, you might not know that he is a singer in the group 2pm. I recommend their songs My House, Come Back When you Hear this Song, Make It, Put Your Hands Up, Go Crazy, and 10 out of 10. He's also done some solo songs but I'm not as familiar with those.
Most kpop groups will have little reality/variety/vlog shows that help you get to know the members. I'm not a big enough fan of 2pm to know what their shows are called but I'm sure other beanies can give you the details if you are interested.
For dramas I recommend Wok of Love and Chief Kim.
I know other people liked Just Between Lovers and The Red Sleeve but I wouldn't recommend them even though Junho was great in both. I dropped JBL because it was too dark and sad for me. I dropped The Red Sleeve because the story was outlandish.

I'll go with his two lawyer (and lesser acknowledged) dramas - Confession (2019) and Memory (2015).

Confession takes some time to build up then it really takes off. It slows a little in the middle, but it remains engrossing throughout. One of the best lawyer kdramas out there.

In Memory, Junho is the second lead. The main lead is played by Lee Sung-min, who turns in another masterclass acting about a lawyer hit with Alzheimer's. It's a tough to watch emotionally, but worth it nevertheless.

Just Between Lovers. Lee Kang Doo may not be my favourite character, but his portrayal was good.

Chief Kim was comedic gold imo. The bromance sold it for me .

I've also watched Wok Of Love but don't remember it very well.

These are my collection of Junho dramas . Tbh, I didn't necessarily watch these because of him, rather for the plot. However, King The Land is the first drama I'm watching for him ( & the chemistry) . Hope it works out well.

Please watch
Wok of Love as 1st watch before 5th episode of King the Land
( I watched numerous times whenever I want to watch Junho )

Then watch ...
Red Sleeve
After that watch chief kim or Just between lovers

i really really wanted to watch The Red Sleeve Cuff after reading glowing reviews about it on Twitter but my dumbass accidentally got the ending spoiled for me SDHFNSIUNFGVSIORGNOSIN

Should I still give it a shot?

Just Between Lovers

I really enjoy Wok of Love. It is uneven and it’s a shame the horse disappears, but it’s a good time.

happy 10th anniversary today of junho's acting debut! i'm so grateful i get to watch him, and i genuinely do root for him.
