When his character exited (not a spoiler - this happens in Episode 2), you caught yourself wondering how the story could continue without him, but it was that absence that drove the rest of the plot.
Half of this is because Lee Min-ki was brilliant, and the other half was an intentional choice of the show. Technically, this was a guest appearance in the drama, but his character (and overall screen presence) was larger-than-life and charismatic to the point of overshadowing the other actors. So much eyeliner, so much angst! I don’t usually like to use words like “crushed,” but there’s no better word here: Lee Min-ki crushed his role as the leader and vocalist of a high school rock band. Dal-ja’s world was a little sparkly and shallow, and I love the down-to-earth perspective and experience that Lee Min-ki’s character brought to the show - and to Dal-ja herself. Lee Min-ki’s character was straightforward, bold, and honest with Dal-ja throughout their relationship as it evolved from fake dating to real attraction to love. Through a mix of happenstance and drunken contract writing, a younger guy she barely knew (played by Lee Min-ki) agreed to pose as her boyfriend the set-up is familiar, but the energy of this drama was great. The story followed Oh Dal-ja (played by Chae Rim, who’s hard not to love in anything), a single 33-year-old woman with a great apartment, independence, and a successful career, but lacking romance.

Here are some highlights and favorites from his drama career, followed by his full filmography.ĭal-ja’s Spring was an early noona romance, a trend that remains popular to this day. He has had a prolific career in both Korean dramas and films, but - and I might be a little biased - I always prefer dramaland, so I’ve been excited to see the scripts that have caught his eye. After serving his mandatory military service, Lee Min-ki made his long-awaited return to dramas in 2017. He’s a bit rough, edgy, and unpredictable, and he brings an interesting energy to the screen. He doesn’t have the warm, boyish onscreen presence we are so used to expecting from of our drama stars. Lee Min-ki is interesting as a leading man - he’s neither a flower boy nor the boy next door, nor a typical action star. There were some high-grossing and popular films like Haeundae, Very Ordinary Couple, and Chilling Romance, along with some darker, more avant-garde films. He spent a good ten years of his career working steadily in the film industry (not counting occasional wonderful guest and cameo appearances in dramas). Like many, he got his start on daily and weekend dramas, but soon after disappeared from dramaland and focused on films. Born in 1985 in Gimhae, South Korea, he made his debut in 2005.
