Yoon Sung is a man who hides his lonely self in his unrelenting quest for justice, but he also has a kind and upbeat side to him. Lee Min Ho is a fantastic fit for his persona because he also exudes coolness.
5. Pachinko
Lee Min Ho is presented in a very different way in the adaption of the moving bestseller "Pachinko" by Korean-American author Min Jin Lee. To play Koh Hansu, the dangerously alluring yet merciless yakuza (member of a crime syndicate), the actor lets go of his romantic hero image. Koh Hansu causes a series of turbulent events in the life of the lady he loves, Sunja (Kim Min Ha). The actor described his character as a tragic man who doesn't know any better but is looking for love and forgiveness in his way. Lee Min Ho excels in his depiction of Hansu and steals the show.

Sparks fly as Kim Tan saves Eun Sang from a dangerous situation and musters the courage to return to Seoul. Eun Sang attends the same prestigious school as Kim Tan and also just so happens to reside in his house as fate plays its cards. Given their predicament, there is still reluctance between stolen kisses. Tan's antagonist Choi Young Do (Kim Woo Bin), who was once his best friend, at first acts arrogantly toward Eun Sang but later develops feelings for her as well.
