• Indeed i guess producers are looking for young+ bankable actors who are rising up the ladder...no wonder psj and ktr topped..
  As much as we rave abt the a-lister early 80s actresses , it's a fact that their age certainly puts a limit to the number of roles that they can choose..But at the same time i am impressed that Gong Hyo Jin came a close second to Kim tae ri.

• Ah well, the senior/veteran actresses are in the top 5 list, that's enough for me.

• 1. Surprised that Jun Ji Hyun and Son Ye Jin aren't ranked higher. Maybe for JJH it's because she's so picky that casting agents gave up?

  2. Pleasantly surprised and impressed that Jeon Yeon Bin made the list already. She sure is on rocketship after Vincenzo. She deserves it though; she is so, so, so talented and one of the actresses I'm most looking forwards to seeing develop.

  3. Feel like Seo Ye Ji would've made the list if not for her scandal

  • The difference between #3 and all those tied at #4 is 1 vote. Seems like its all over the place. Only overwhelming pick is KTR which is kind of bizarre tbh, although I like her.

    • All the one with 1 vote have dramas coming up or airing at the time so their production houses voted for them out of desperation. They need any promotion they can get.

    • Kim Tae Ri is the biggest internationel movie star of that list that isnt JJH, Bae Donna, Jeon Do-Yeon,Kim Min Hee.

      She has starred in big Chan Park Wook film that was big in Cannes. Korean cinema is bigger in the West, Europe compared to kdrama.
      Here in Sweden people know mostly movie stars from S.Korea KTR, Kim Min Hee etc because they have starred in acclaimed Korean directors movies. Kdrama isn't as mainstream in Europe as Korean movies.

  • @Timmy LOL bitter much. They were top for a reason. Talking about their productions house voted for them out of desperation is the most ridiculous thing of the day. You are probably too biased to ignore all the desperation voting from the fans to their favorite. Just because yours doesn't make it to the top, you calling it desperation. You're the desperation one here.

  • Seo Ye Ji is such a waste of talent and beauty. Although she probably will come back albeit in smaller roles and projects. I do find it interesting that Seohyun is getting a lot more roles now, Nampo actors helped but also a part of it seems like goodwill now that the truth came out. Had her controversy not been brought to light, SYJ would’ve been included 100%, esp since IOTNBO did amazing globally. She had a fierce look to her that made her stand out too.

• The ranking itself doesn't make sense but I generally agree with all those mentioned.

• Another senseless list this one. KTR is a good actress but the one drama she was in was hard carried by LBH and KES making a writing breakthrough. Her last movie Space Sweepers she barely had any screen time nor was the role interesting. Little Forest wasn't exactly a hit either so why her over KGE who has had more successful projects in comparison and is younger. JJH and SYJ getting only 2 votes makes 0 sense and HSH getting just 1 vote despite being the 'hottest' young actress in town makes even less sense.

  • Although she's still considering, she has an upcoming drama with NJH so they must promote. They expect it to be a big hit. KTR is a good actress, but more indie than mainstream, I never thought she would choose this kind of drama...She will surely get popular and mainstream thanks to NJH

    • haha you guys are so funny
      "mainstream thanks to NJH"

      we are talking about Korea not overseas, she is bigger than him there
      even though she just made one drama its more successful than any thing that NJH made, someone who was overshadowed in his last drama

    • Does KTR need to be in every high profile project opposite other top stars? If she wants to be in a drama where she is the star and major draw factor, she can.

• Where is Shin Hye Sun!? What the hell! Mr Queen was a huge success!

  • Yh seriously missing shin hye sun is weird how many drama's has she been carrying on her back

  • Yeah its a bit odd. Perhaps its b/c she doesn't fit their beauty ideals nor has that IT factor, granted Gong Hyo Jin is heavily lauded. I guess, she's still a question mark for PDs, maybe not the 1st choice, but 2nd or 3rd choice?

  • probably only that names above are listed

• Mediaplay list part 2. Agencies and production houses paying for promotion. No wonder knetz said the list was bizzare and nonsense.

• This list makes more sense to me than the men's though I don't really understand KTR getting the most votes. Shin Hye Sun should have been on the list over Han So Hee IMO.

  • Shin Hye Sun is the Lee Min Ho of this list, lol. I would have Shin Hye Sun over Park Bo Young instead.

• LOL this list is even dumber than the men's list! Half the list doesn't even deserve to be on it and last place names are all hilarious! Who paid to get them included? PBY her drama flopped big time!

• SHS over KYJ and PBY any day! She's the way better actor and has more successful projects than either of them combined and she does it without relying on her male leads! Why are those 2 even on this list after 2 flop dramas!

  • Keep being salty. ?
    KYJ and PBY are more in demand than your fave. Oh, I like SHS by the way. She's so unlucky to have you as her fan that's why she's not on the list.
