[+1,162, -39] At least he was Successful in marrying his wife

[+1,125, -42] I find his nonchalant style of acting so charming. I like his movies but his series acting has been top tier for me, especially as Eugene Choi in 'Mister Sunshine'

[+829, -34] 'Decision to Leave' had to be Park Hae Il no matter what ㅎ

[+266, -16] I can see him being offered Lee Sun Kyun's role in 'Parasite,' actually

[+140, -5] 'Parasite' and 'Old Boy' are amazing works but 'Mister Sunshine' beats them all for me. He truly created a drama of a lifetime with that. He should feel more proud than regretful of his history.

[+47, -2] Looks like he was offered Lee Sun Kyun's role for 'Parasite.' I wonder if he turned it down because it wasn't a major character?

[+44, -1] He's an actor who matches any role he's given. He has the ability to make any story sound fun when he tells it.

[+32, -4] Lee Byung Hun's the only actor who has managed to overcome all his scandals with acting ability alone

[+24, -1] Still... Choi Min Shik and Song Kang Ho were perfect for those rolles
