Kim Ji-so has been debuting for a while, and people who have been following his career know that he has proven time and time again that he is an actor that we can take seriously. The emotion he conveys in his characters and the dedication to the characters are very evident on the silver screen, which is why he has gained such a large fan base over the years. In addition to his latest appearance in "When I Was At My Prettiest", here's a look at eight of his many excellent roles.
Note: The list is in no particular order
1 . Angry Mom
Kim Hee-sun plays Cho Jong-ko /Cho Ling-jin, the mother of Oh Ya-ran (Kim Yu-jeong). She discovers that her daughter was being bullied at school, which forced her to go undercover as a high school student to find the culprit. During the undercover process, she meets Ko Bok-dong, played by Kim Ji-so, who takes her under his wing and falls in love with her in the process.
Ko Bok-dong, played by Kim Ji-so in the play, has many personal problems and is one of the best roles he has played. He was able to express such distress and pain through his role, so relaxed, although he was not the main actor, but he left the impression of one of the most profound in the entire series. Not to mention seeing his thoughts about Zhao Qiangzi, who did not know that he was his mother, it was absolutely funny!
2 . "Unreasonable Forward"
Zheng Endi as Jiang Yandou is a passionate girl who is the president of the school's street dance club. Lee Won-geun as Jin Lie is the president of a club with the top students in the school. The two societies were forced to merge into cheerleaders. Seo Ha-joon (Kim Ji-so) is good friends with Kang Yeon-doo and eventually develops feelings for her
Kim Ji-so's role of Seo Ha-joon is a character that needs to be portrayed, and no one can play it as well as Kim Ji-so. His character experienced tremendous stress and abuse from his father, which led him to severe depression and other mental health issues. This type of character is not common on the small screen, but it is very necessary for the world we live in. This is a series not to be missed!
3 . 《Page Turner》
Page Turner's cast is very visually impactful and won't let you down. Starring Kim So-hyun, Kim Ji-so and Shin Jae-ha, there won't be a second of boredom. Kim So-hyun as Yoon Yoon-se, under pressure from his mother, is an aspiring pianist who goes blind in an unfortunate accident. Jung Cha-sik (Kim Ji-so) falls in love with her and takes care of her in the sweetest way.
Kim Ji-so plays the role of a first-love high school student too well. He put his heart on his sleeve and tried to protect Yin Youser's appearance, which was worth seeing. This web series is also very short, so it will not procrastinate and will not give you too much boring time. You'll love to see a chi-ho who is overwhelmed and nervous by love!
4 . "The Glorious Years"
"Glory Years" is a drama thriller film starring Kim Ji-so, Kim Joon-min, Yoo Joon-yeol and Kim Hee-zan. The four actors play the four friends who begin their last epic journey before they all enlist in the army. However, they find themselves in a situation they never thought possible.
"The Glory Years" is Kim Ji-so's first film role. This is a coming-of-age film that involves tragedy, friendship, and loss, and with the eyesight of the main actors, there really can be no mistake. Long Fei, played by Kim Ji-so, does whatever it takes to protect and help his friends. Through this role, you can really see Kim Ji-so's dedication to the character, you will see Kim Ji-so's relaxed and cute side in the first part of the movie, and then you will see his fierce side in other parts of the movie. This really shows his acting ability!
5 . 《DOCTORS》

She has experienced a lot of unpleasant things in her life, and Zhihong sees this and wants to help her. Kim So-chul (Kim Ji-so) and Yoo Hye-jin become loyal friends who can help each other as adults.
Although Kim Ji-so is not one of the main actors in this particular TV series, he is definitely different. When Soo-chul first meets Hye-jeong, he is a slightly bad boy, and his charm is so obvious. Riding a motorcycle, the rubber-haired Kim Ji-so has a feeling of being addicted! Especially later, seeing him start a family, seeing that he is still such a loyal friend to Hui Jing, especially sweet.
6 . Step by Step: Li
Li Zhunji as Wang Zhao is a difficult and tough one among many princes. When he meets Li Zhien as Xie Shu/Gao Xiazhen, he falls in love with her, but seems to find the right time to be with her. Unfortunately, Wang Zhen (played by Kim Ji-so) also seems to be in love with Gao Xiazhen, and in the end, it is his loyal love that helps Gao Xiazhen.
It's quite possible that in this series, you'll cry every time Chi-so appears on the screen. Seeing that Wang Jing has dedicated her life to Gao Xiazhen, but does not expect anything in return from her, this is the definition of heartbreak. If you weren't a fan of Kim Ji-so before, you'll definitely become a fan of kim ji-so after seeing him play this role.
7 . "Great Women Are Bong Shun"
"Hercules All Bong Soon" Park Baoying plays an aspiring game producer born with super strength in the play. She meets Ahn Min Hyuk (Park Kyung-sik), the CEO of a game company, and by chance, Ahn Min Hyuk needs a bodyguard. In the end, he hired Du Bong Shun and asked her to develop a game while working for him.
Ahn Min Hyuk eventually falls in love with Bong Soon, but he soon discovers that she is plunged into the arms of her first love, Ren Guodou. Kim Ji-so plays The Young-doo is a macho cop who treats Bong-soon as a friend, nothing more. In addition to seeing Kim Ji-so put on a police uniform as a policeman, one of the best things about this series is to see him go from a tough guy to a fragile and cute love sick puppy. He discovers the progression and course of his feelings for Du Fengshun, which lights up the screen.

His friends struggled to move into Yin Tae-woo's house under various circumstances. Han Song-yi (Jeong Chae-yeon) is Yoon Tae-woo's best friend, and he begins to develop feelings for her.
Yin Tae-woo's love and loyalty to his friend Han Songyi was very touching to watch. There was nothing he didn't want to do for her, and seeing him realize his feelings for her was everything in the first love story. Kim Ji-so can portray Yoon Tae-woo's charm and cuteness so naturally, because he is probably so cute in real life!
Finally: "When I Was At My Prettiest"
Although the drama is not yet over, the high school student and teacher Wu Yizhi (Played by Lin Xiuxiang), played by Kim Ji-so, fell in love at first sight and is perfect.
