The following are eight Korean dramas that show Lee Dong-wook's talent, selecting the more unique works in his rich film works.

"My Girl"

Lee Dong Wook debuted as an actor around 1999 and has been acting ever since. Although his early works such as 2003's "Wine Country" did win the "Newcomer Award", it was not until 2005 with "My Girl" that he became a household star. "My Girl" is a playful, funny romance film that stole our limelight when it first aired. It tells the story of his grandson Chen Xuegong (Lee Dong-wook) who, in order to fulfill his grandfather's last wishes, recruits a fraud master and lets him meet his long-lost granddaughter. But after seeing his "granddaughter", Grandpa was very excited, he miraculously recovered, and insisted that she move in the house so that the whole family could be together. Scheming.

"My Girl" let us know not one, but two sweethearts who still make us intoxicated with vision and talent - Lee Dong Wook and Lee Joon Ki. We also fell in love with the chemically charged duo of Lee Dong Wook and Lee Do Hae, so when they reunited in "Hotel King" in another TV series nearly a decade later, fans around the world rejoiced. So, if you'd love to see more of Lee Dong-wook and Lee Do-hae's combination, be sure to check out the love story between the hotel's heiress and general manager.

"Sweet Life"

Sweet Life is a dark melodrama that deals with the theme of marriage and adultery, all wrapped in a murder mystery. When Yoon Hye-jin (Oh Yeon-so) discovers that her husband is having an affair, she flees to Japan to end it all. There, she meets the charming Lee Joon-so (Lee Dong-wook), but what she doesn't know is that this Junxiu also happens to have an affair with her husband's mistress. This led to the relationship between these four people becoming more helplessly entangled.

This is a superb TV series written in a black style and intricate detail. It's sometimes so honest and blunt that it can make the audience uncomfortable because it exposes the viewer to their own deep dark desires. Lee Dong Wook is one of the more "green" actors in the bones of a group of powerful old dramas, but he and his "My Girl" partner Park Shi-yeon are even better, successfully luring us into their bittersweet lives.

"The Fragrance of a Woman"

After being diagnosed with cancer, Lee Yeon-jae (Kim Seon-er), who is in her thirties, finds herself with only half a year to live. Realizing that she had missed out on life, she wrote herself a bucket list, quit her job, took out her savings, made a transformation of herself, and traveled abroad for the first time. In Japan, she meets Kang Ji Wook (Lee Dong Wook), a dashing man who has no goal in life. Kang Ji Wook (Lee Dong Wook) has a new attitude towards life, she offers to show him kindness, and he also becomes interested in her. After the two returned to Korea, Ji Wook continued to find ways to get close to her. However, Ji Wook does not know the result of Yeon Jae's diagnosis, and when he learns, he is surprised and angry.

While this is a great TV series to watch when you need to cry, it can also be quite inspiring and uplifting in dealing with the more pathological themes of death and death. Hopefully, it inspires you to live your days to the fullest and look forward to the days ahead.

The Mandate of Heaven

Although Lee Dong Wook has been acting in TV dramas that flash back to the past era, "Mandate of Heaven" is his first real historical drama. Here, Lee Dong-wook plays an imperial doctor who is inadvertently involved in an assassination attempt against the prince.

Like most legendary dramas, the show is full of political intrigue and thrilling moves, and Choi Won, played by Lee Dong Wook, becomes a fugitive whose mission is to clear himself of his crimes and find a way to cure his sick daughter. Helping him and his daughter is the royal nurse Hong Duoren (Song Ji hyo).

"Lonely and Brilliant God-Ghost"

"Ghosts" may not need to be said more, because if you are already a fan of Lee Dong Wook, you will definitely watch it for him; if you are not, you will also become a fan of him after watching it. Whatever your feelings about the major OTP, you can't deny that this epic fantasy drama as a whole is sublime and will put you on an emotional roller coaster.

Lee Dong Wook's Grim Reaper plays a big role in why we love the show so much, whether it's his brotherhood with Kong Liu's goblin or his interstellar lover pairing with Liu Renna's Sunny. Even now, we can't help but have good memories of his funny one second and melancholy and serious about the next. This is one of the most important TV series in Lee Dong Wook's film career, and for a reason. And if you are still interested in the combination of Death and Sunny, and only want to see them happy together, then you must check out "Touching the Heart", which is a successful lawyer played by Lee Dong-wook and the actress played by Liu Renna posing as his secretary, which is a bubble and relaxed love film set in a law firm.

《Life》

Need to see Li Dongxu put on the doctor's robe? Then be sure to check out Life, which is much more exciting than the average medical drama. Life isn't just about treating patients for a week, it's about management, and all (corrupt) office politics. It is a constant struggle between large business groups that own hospitals and medical staff who need to get the job done. The play puts both stories together, allowing the audience to draw their own conclusions.

Lee Dong Wook plays emergency department doctor Rui Zhenyu, whose department is about to be shut down by the newly appointed hospital CEO, Gu Shengxiao (Cao Seung-woo). "Life" is brilliantly written, full of complex characters, and brought to life by equally brilliant actors (forgive my pun).

"The Other Is Hell"

"The Other Is Hell" tells the story of aspiring writer Yoon Jong-woo (Ren Shi-wan) who moves into an apartment called the "Eden Studios". However, the apartment is not at all like "Eden" because Yoon Jong-woo finds his neighbors to varying degrees of weirdness. Among them is the dashing dentist Xu Wenzu (Lee Dong Wook), who is the most pleasant and friendly of the group. But as Yoon Jong-woo slowly discovers the true nature of these neighbors, he begins to doubt his own sanity and morality.

Lee Dong-wook's role in "The Other Is Hell" is the furthest in his consistent romance film image. Here, he can really stretch his acting skills, for this horror-like horror film to delve into a more confrontational role, and you may find yourself wondering how his smile—a smile that has made you faint countless times—suddenly makes you feel so creepy and uneasy. The show is really horrible, not only showing some fairly vivid scenes, but also suggesting that humans are the most terrifying.

The Legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox

Lee Dong Wook once again dabbled in fantasy subjects, this time swapping his black hat and trench coat for his tail. Nine tails, to be exact. In The Legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox, Lee Dong-wook is a 1,000-year-old nine-tailed fox who was once the mountain spirit that ruled Mount Baekdu. One day, a young (mortal) girl appeared in front of him, and the two became impossible friends. As the girl grew older, the two fell in love with each other, but unfortunately, her life was cut off by a dark force. The nine-tailed fox named Yeon is therefore looking for the reincarnation of his first love all the time.
