The Top 3 King Sukjong roles in Korean dramas.

This round ELLE Korea magazine has picked some of the hottest King role- Sukjong in the Joseon dynasty. 'I am the King'


3rd Spot:
The most ever played by a charismatic, King Sukjong which cannot be refuted in the currently airing SBS drama 'Jackpot' starring Yeo Jin Gu, Jang Geun Suk and Choi Min Soo. Sukjong is determined to have Bok Soon (played by Yoon Jin Seo) who was later promoted to Consort Choi when she gave birth to a male heir. 

Choi Min Soo as King Sukjong has that manly subtle expressions, his strong eyes gaze and deep voice does give the shiver to the opponents. Every scene Sukjong has appeared is rather overwhelming.


2nd Spot: 

Actor Ji Jin Hee who plays Sukjong in the 50 episode drama Dong Yi is rather different than Choi Min Soo. His role is susceptible warm and friendly. When dealing with servants and politics affair, he is clever but still a scary monarch.


His romantic adventure with Dong Yi played by Han Hyo Joo satisfies all the fantasy of the court maids in the palace. His undying love for Choi Sukbin in the drama remains till the end when he believes her for what she has sacrificed to protect herself and Queen Inhyun.



1st Spot:
Uprising star Yoo Ah In plays as one of the youngest version of King Sukjong in the drama Jang Ok Jung played by Kim Tae Hee. Young Sukjong has to endure loneliness and sadness on the throne. With a boyish face, he appears to be tough, it is revealed that he dearly loved Consort Jang (Jang Hee Bin) but she became evil later on so he had to put her to death. In this drama, 

Sukjong shows his love and concern more on Jang Ok Jung than Consort Choi who turns out to be slightly cunning than the other vesions.

The young version Sukjong by Yoo Ah In is rather sexy and charming. 

What are your thoughts? Who played the best King Sukjong in this sageuk drama?
