Hands 💙💙 fingers 💙💙
Yes, definitely look at them. They can convey a lot. I like when certain scenes focus on hands. Like when it’s hesitating, pondering, supporting etc etc.
Hands with veins even better 😍

Absolutely! Kim Nam Gil's and Lee Jae Wook's hands are my faves. Jang Ki Yong also has pretty hands.😍

I also notice when there's something unusual about hands (not necessarily ugly or unkempt). For example: Ahn Hyo Seop's hands were very red in some scenes in Business Proposal, and Han So Hee has short thumb nails.

Yes! I notice hands IRL and in dramas. Having recently watched Crazy Love, I noticed Kim Jae-wook has masculine hands with nicely trimmed nails. I’ve always been turned off by a man with long nails. So Ji Sub also has beautiful hands.
There is an actress that appears in several dramas and she doesn’t take care of her nails. I’m sure she’s busy but I always think, gurl, someone on the set needs to hand you clippers and a fingernail file. 😬

In Our Blooming Youth, there is this scene where a soldier hands over a letter, by pushing it across a table using both his hands, palm down, to the Crown prince. The hands were so beautiful that they stood out. Park Hyung Sik has beautiful hands (he also makes them act which is impressive). Song Kang (Nevertheless) has very beautiful hands. I was also impressed by Lee Do-Hyun's long fingers and meticulously kept hands in both The Glory (there is a scene where he stitches, that is lovely) and The Good Bad mother. Choi Woo Shik's artist hands in Our Beloved summer was impressive. However, most actresses that I watched don't seem to take care of their hands at all, and many cases they are stubby, which is strange for artists who typically have long fingers (except Han Yo Joo, she has lovely well kept hands). Park Seo Joon also has lovely hands and he uses them very effectively as well.

Ah, yes, hands. I do look at hands. Particularly, So Ji-sub's. There's just something about his hands!

Han Hye-jin had some well kept hands in Sacred Divorce. And, Sacred Divorce didn't fail to comment on the structure of Kim Sung-kyun's arms, or was it in my head? It was quite attractive, I must say.

I think My Liberation Notes gave us an unashamed view into the arms of two strong men - Lee Min-ki and Sohn Seok-ku. It wasn't something that was brought into focus, but dang it looked more attractive when it was sweated.

Kim Young-kwang's hands loudly pronouncing his viens as he was restrained in the hospital open space after Woo-joo's head injury. Damn, it was just it.

As per storytelling, a particular drama comes to mind. I think romantically, the hands make a statement. And there are actors who use thier hands to convey accepting or rejecting someone. Her Private Life used this one quite well. ML has trauma associated with handholding, and this was beautifully written into the romance. FL held ML's hands as an expression of thier love, like another confession different from the one that ends with a kiss. So when they had the ep 13-14 breakup and FL broke off ML's hands as he reached out to her...it really hurt to see his hands hanging out in space. I was lost in the midst of that poignant feeling of aloneness that Ryan Gold was thrown into. Her Private Life really used hands as a character here.

Hands and forearms can be very sexy!

I'm always kinda disapointed when the actor/actress looks beautiful/sexy/charismatic but his/her hands look like the child's ones.

There are a lot of actors/actresses who have great hands so I won't try to make a list.

There are some scenes that I liked :
- In Mr Sunshine, Ae-Shin's hanbock touched Dong-Mae's hand. The whole scene was beautifully filmed and YYK has manly hands.
- In Extraordinary You, the difference of height made Rowoon's hands so big. The scene of pottery was really cute and flirty.
- In Something in the Rain (Pretty Noona), Song Ye-Jin takes Jung Hae-In's hand under the table to let him know she's interested in him.
- In Healer, when Ji Chang-Wook and Park Min-Young's hands were touching when they both tried to pick up the pyjamas. It reminded her Healer's hand at the movie theater.
- In Season of Blossom, the students are on the roof top of the school, Seo Ji-Hoon takes So Joo-Yeon's hand.

It's all. For now :p

I am a pianist, so I can't help but look at people's hands. I agree about Kim Nam Gil, Lee Jae Wool, and So Ji Sub having beautiful hands.

A memorable scene involving hands comes from my favorite drama, Chuno. The ML (Jang Hyuk) says a heartfelt prayer in the temple, while the camera lingers on his hands. Just watching the hand gestures was enough to convince me that the character meant every word.

It's quite natural for us to look at hands because hand gestures are vital to communication, so we intuitively look. And in dramas or movies, the hands are made more prominent because some scenes intentionally focus on them to convey meaning. Here's an interesting TED Talk on the topic

So yeah, it's surprising some hands aren't prepped for shots when there's so much thought put into shooting anything. My team creates photo and video content, and we're always very careful with hands.

I like hands, I like all type of hands, I think hands are awesome

Forgive me, my brain is mush so I am not able reference all my favourite scenes. But I’m definitely adding GOOD BAD MOTHER to the list of lovely hand scenes.

I loved Mi-joo’s passion for manicures. The villagers and particularly the women who worked tirelessly at their farms getting some well deserved self care from Mi-joo, was one those few wholesome moments in the drama.

In HOMETOWN CHA-CHA-CHA when Shin Min-a’s character is cashless and essentially broke for a day, the scene where she has to work gutting squid with older women who were masterful at the craft, again shows the amazing versatility of hands

INTEREST OF LOVE used the distance and closeness of hands to portray the distance and closeness of the relationships

Handholding whether it’s from familial love, platonic love or romantic love, when done right, always gets me.

Those intimate moments between a couple, or the sensation of touch to soothe and calm, whatever the reason, hands are definitely serotonin boost for me 😊

I admire practical hands, as I use mine professionally, and that’s when I think about them in kdramas, like for farmers, workers, or ahjummas doing household chores. I also notice with artists or musicians.

Hands aren't something I usually notice, but that has changed with Tale of the Nine-tailed 1938. The rings on Lee Dong-wook's fingers have awakened somthing in me...

I look at hands too a lot. In my first drama My Girl, I was so surprised to see Lee Dong-wook's pretty, delicate hands.
It's easy to recognise hands too. Han Suk-gyu and Kim Nam-gil have very distinctive hands. Jung Il-woo's are beautiful. Yoo Yeon-seok's hands evoke feelings (so do his wrists, biceps and deltoids) 😆, specially when he wraps his fingers around the sword hilt. Even Going Yoo.
Quite a few actors have attractive hands, I can't remember them all. The manlier the better

Talking about hands that stole my attention in kdrama, I can’t help but to remember Yoo Yeon Seok’s (Romantic Dr. Kim) and Lee Jae Wook’s (WWW) hands when they were sexily holding back female leads’s hand while kissing.

Oh, it's THE fetish, and a super common one, if that NSFW tag dedicated to it means something))) Maybe not the very first thing I personally notice in people in general and men in particular - that will always be eyes and voice - but surely in top5. Can't say I'm THAT picky in that regard, but bigger palms and long fingers with prominent knuckles are preferable. And visible veins, sorry not sorry))) Nails don't matter much, but I've noticed that most asian actors have a rather pretty long ones, which makes me forever jealous lol. Few days ago I've read someone describing certain actor's hands as "corpse pale and skeletal looking" - granted it was in fanfic so such gothic purple prose was deliberate - and after having a great laugh at this spot on description I had to admit that this is probably the type I'm the most into. Plus they look so mind-blowing in black and white photos - another thing I'm rather obsessed with. Ah, just thinking about it gives me the feels I certainly do not need this early in the morning, let alone on Monday...

List of actors with sexy hands I know would be too long, but I can name a drama that's like half dedicated to just OTP's hands conveying all that needs to be conveyed - FLOWER OF EVIL. If you saw it, you surely know what I'm talking about, and if you didn't yet then all of you hands lovers certainly should!

honestly the only time i notice their hands is when its pure red due to the cold weather. I find this kinda funny as we all know that Korea is well-known for their cold climate hence the characters wearing about 1-2 layers of clothes causing our poor actors to freeze their arses off BUT still being able to pull off their role so well :')

Oh yes, I wasn't able to not stare at Hyun Bin's hands in CLOY. They were so beautiful and exquisite and his fingers moved so elegantly too! I remember moisturising my own hands extra hard for the weeks that followed :P

This isn’t my thing, I don’t think? I mean who am I kidding, it probably is. If @gikata’s middle name is “Stubborn,” mine is probably, “Denial.”

*Anyway*, having mulled this over for a day or so, I did come to vividly remember Sojin’s glorious, OTT, coffin-shaped, artificial nails in True to Love. When she gestured, all of my attention was on her graceful hands.

Junho’s hands are the most beautiful among Korean actors’, with the fingertips a little curved like Buddha’s fingers.

On the other hand, Seo Kang Joon’s nails always look like they are not cared for, but I think he just simply wasn’t born having nice nails. Otherwise his hands look just fine.

In Sweet Munchies, when they are searching for a TV cook they reject a promising audtioner because of his hands---his hands were not attractive enough for anyone to watch him cook. The character that gets the job (Jung Il Woo) has lovely hands. Just a side note for watching outside kdramaland---there is a great episode of Seinfeld where one of the main characters (George) is a hand model.

Mmmm... I'm fond of holding hands shots - particularly the delicate Asian woman's hand in the large man's hand. I recall IU once complaining that her hands stopped growing before the rest of her, leaving her with little hands. The response (from someone off-camera) was that those are the types of hands than men most like to hold.

I usually don't notice hands that much, but I *have* noticed the face/hand contrast. It's not just some frayed nail ... sometimes the face looks like a teenager, 17-19 years old, but the hands look like those of a 35-year-old ... who has done all the dishwashing in a busy restaurant by hand for 20 years. They look dry, red, wrinkled. Just using cream after hand wash would already help a lot. Considering all the care put into faces and clothes, the maltreated hands are such a strange phenomenon.

One of my favorite hand scenes is in My Name. Ahn Bo-Young, who has large hands, slides his hands under the shirt and up the back of Han So-Hee. Another is Song Kang seducing Han So-Hee in Nevertheless.

Locking fingers has become a trope, but my favorite is when Jung Hae-in locks fingers under the table with Son Ye-jin in Something in the Rain.

I love this thread!! It's been so entertaining reading everyones comments and mentions - many of which I agree with/have noticed too!

I always find I'm drawn to looking at hands/fingers in general especially more so when it's a music related drama. As a piano player, ever since I could remember, I used to desperately wish for those long, delicate looking fingers that a lot of pianists seem to have. My piano teacher had the most beautiful fingers and the way they had a character of their own when she played piano was so mesmerising to watch.

i myself dont notice hands if in wide shot or even in medium, until and unless framing and cinematography done in a way to get my eyes on hands...
2nd if there is Close up on hands then obviously hands will get my focus.

But if by any chance oppadeul are shown rolling up their sleeves, or sleeves up but their veins in forearm making some great appearance then i can stare and take screenshots too...
hope i was able to explain...🤭🤭🤭

The only hands that I ever really zeroed in on (and the camera did too) was Han Yi Sang's of Oh My Baby.. The loveliest digits of kdramaland, I daresay. 😆

Lee Jong-suk's hands have frequently looked like he's been punching a wall. He may have been but it's a contrast with the smooth perfect face.

Some of my favourite hands in dramaland are Choi Daniel’s. Especially when he fixes his glasses… hmmmm.

I love this topic! One of the things that thrilled me when I started watching Kdramas was how splendid most of the men's hands were. Like the perfect skin extended to the fingertips. I can only count on one hand (sorry) the times I've seen poorly maintained nails. I won't mention names.
