Yeah, I heart his soulful and manly voice too. LOL

aah, Han Seong ahjussi...he has such a sexy laugh

I tried not to be too gushy in my first comment above but the restraint is killing me so here goes...

I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Kim Myung-min!!!! The moment he appeared in White Tower, my eyes lit up and a puddle of drool formed at my feet. I inched as close as I could to the TV screen without going cross-eyed and remained in that trance-like state for the rest of the series. I loved him in More Beautiful Than A Flower and Bad Family (both excellent dramas, by the way) but he was soooo awesome in White Tower. I didn't care that he was controlling and conniving and at times downright despicable; he could play the devil himself and I would still root (and care) for him. Every scene with him was a joy to watch even if I cringed to see how low he stooped in order to reach his goals. He was cruel but charismatic, brusque but brilliant, reviled but also revered (and even loved). He was both puppeteer and puppet, using and being used. Terrific acting, terrific script. And I'm immensely glad that I didn't watch the original Japanese White Tower so that I had no baggage going into the Korean White Tower, no expectations except one: KMM would deliver. He always does.

gahhhhhh...he's a great actor, he's cute [i love his dorky glasses] and his voice is so deep and soothing and attractive!! thanks for the post, haha. ^^

Gong Yoo, My YOO......plz don't leave yet until u give us Coffee Prince The Sequel, or another movie! sigh. It sucks that he's enlisting at the peak of his career, but at least he has his pal Jo In Sung for company (if they get assigned to the same barrack, that is..lol). And what about Kang Dong Wan? He is due for enlistment pretty soon too.

cool voting feature!

I voted for Chun Jung Myung because I will definitely miss his adorable smile and boyish charm.

Bad Family was unapologetically heart-warming while succeeded at making me laughed so hard. It was the best of the "Bad" trio, IMHO. Kim Myung Min was great (although i have to admit that i have not yet seen White Towers). Always nice to read a positive article on an actor that i respect.

BTW, was just now reading your old posts on Bad Family... and realize how much i've enjoyed that one particular post on K-drama & family relations. Must be one of my favorite entries. It was a thoughtful retrospective look at something that K-dramas are so good at. It just seems befitting reading it now since Thanksgiving is around the corner.

Just some random thoughts (and totally off topic): if there's ever a "reader appreciation" open thread asking for our favorite dramabeans.com posts, I can seriously name a few off the top of my head right now (and the reasons why). And oh yeah, I thought that Little Miss Sunshine was also darling.

Ohhh I didn't know Gong Yoo and Jo In Sung are enlisting next year... of course, I will cry buckets because Lee Dong Wook is also entering the service next year. Omo Omo~

Like you, I admire Kim Myung Min immensely. I think he has great depth as an actor.
