A popular role can have a lot of negative effects on actors. Often, an actor who gets famous after playing a certain character repeatedly gets cast to play similar roles. The actors in this list are definitely talented, but they haven’t got the chance to explore different characters and fans hope that they are given an opportunity.
1. Park Min Young
She has been crowned as the ‘Queen of Office Rom-Coms’ by many but fans are not too happy with it. Though her dramas are enjoyable fans feel she always plays a charming professional in all her shows though there are exceptions like ‘City Hunter,’ and ‘Healer.’
2. Lee Min Ho
Lee Min Ho has continued to play a rich man in almost every drama after ‘The Heirs.’ We can’t say that all his characters have the same stories, but since he is wealthy his attitude and behaviour might appear the same. He plays a unique role in his next drama and fans can’t wait.
3. Kim So Hyun
Kim So Hyun has been acting for a long time and has been appreciated by many for her skills despite her young age. But many feel that she has taken up a lot of high school roles and the characters are also not very different. She broke this idea among fans after starring in ‘River Where the Moon Rises.’
4. Song Kang
Fans do not find similarity in Song Kang’s characters but find it in his acting. Many feel that he portrays all his roles in the same way and this makes it difficult for viewers to connect with his characters. In spite of this his acting in dramas like ‘Sweet Home,’ and ‘Navillera’ show his potential as an actor.
5. Seo Ye Ji
In the world of K-dramas, Seo Ye Ji is another name for strong female roles. She is effortlessly good in these but fans want to see her in a different shade. In most of her previous dramas, she has played the role of a woman who speaks her mind and all these shows had serious themes. Fans would definitely want to watch her in a comedy show.
6. Park Shin Hye
Fans were tired of seeing Park Shin Hye cry and that’s the reason she made a comeback with a drama like ‘Sisyphus: The Myth.’ Though many viewers are convinced with her portrayal of a lead in action, many want to watch her playing a dark role.
7. Lee Jong Suk
Lee Jong Suk has starred in a variety of roles, but somewhere, viewers find a slight similarity in all these. Certain aspects of the characters he has played so far were similar and hence he had to portray them in the same way. This might be the reason why viewers are reminded of his other characters when they watch any of his shows.
8. Yoo In Na
Yoo In Na is one of the very few actors who can pull off a comic role. But fans have only one complaint about all her shows and that is, she plays the character of an actor is most of them. She has proved that she is a versatile actress and fans want her to explore new roles.
9. Lee Soo Hyuk
Lee Soo Hyuk is so underrated despite his skills and looks. He has also acted in dramas from different genres. But viewers have pointed out that he plays cold and serious roles most of the time. He might be good in these but fans know that he can ace any role he is given.
10. Lee Da Hee
Lee Da Hee is finally getting the recognition she deserves. We can’t completely say she has played similar roles because her characters always have a touch of boldness and comedy. Though there are these differences. Fans want her to play a completely emotional role at least once.
