The 5 most iconic Kim Woo Bin’s dramas to watch
1. Uncontrollably fond
If you love Kim Woo Bin, this kdrama must be at the top of your list. Starring Bae Suzy and Kim Woo Bin, this iconic K drama was released back in 2016. With a bittersweet energy, the plot revolves around Shin Joon Young and Noh Eul, high school sweethearts who reunite to work on a documentary film, but destiny has different plans for them. The drama takes you on a roller coaster emotional ride and teaches you about love, pain, anguish, courage, sacrifice, and strength.
Kim Woo Bin’s infectious energy and the way he carries such an intense and complex character on his young shoulders are just electrifying. Bae Suzy is just the perfect foil for Kim’s character, as she brings childlike innocence and purity mixed with mesmerizing girlish charm to the character of Noh Eul. By the time you arrive at the last episode, however heartbreaking it is, you start to immerse yourself in the feeling that Shin Joon is omnipresent and immortal (physically or otherwise).
2. The Heirs
It was released back in 2013 and stars Lee Min Ho, Park Shin Hye, and Kim Woo Bin. This is one of the typically made dramas when the poor girl and the rich son of a conglomerate end up falling in love while the whole is against them. The charm of both the male leads will make you end up falling for them. But this drama was made for the 2013 audience and will make you feel annoyed at some points. I was literally screaming at the screen during every episode.
The female lead is so enraging; not only is she lame, but she has zero sense of self. The second lead (Kim Woo Bin) bullies the female lead just because he likes her, giving a glimpse of the kiddish factor we used to have back in our teenage days. Overall, it’s a good one-time-watch K-drama, but really made for 2024’s audience.
3. Our blues
Starring Shin Min A, Kim Woo Bin, Roh Yoon Seo, Kim Jae Won, Lee Byung Hun, and Han Ji Min
A beautifully presented story reflecting the special collective social conscience often present in some Asian societies but lacking in many western communities. The story revolves around Lee Dong Suk, a guy who sells trucks for a living and resides on the beautiful Jeju island, meeting a girl, Min Sun Ah, with a really mysterious personality who has come to Jeje to escape reality.
This is a romantic yet bittersweet drama that portrays realism through its multiple subplots that are interconnected with one another. Drama is highly realistic and talks about natural taboos like teenage pregnancy and more. Whereas Kim Woo bin is a ship captain who ends up falling in love with a girl having a bubbly and charismatic personality who is also hiding a secret inside her.
4. School 2013
Starring Lee Jong Suk, Kim Woo Bin, Jang Na Ra, Park Se Young, This nostalgic drama will leave you wanting to revisit your school’s best buddies. The plot revolves around the life of a boy named Go Nam Soon, a young schoolboy who constantly gets bullied by his schoolmates. He later meets one of his old rivals after he joins their school, and then they try to fix their friendship again.
The drama is not romantic, but the bro-mance between Lee Jong-suk and Kim Woo-bin is the best part. It’s very raw, and as the drama runs, you’ll forget who the main character is and start relating to each and every student. The plot is very good, and it accurately describes the teenage mentality where everything seems so big!
5. Black Knight
Imagine always having to wear a mask, not because of COVID but just because the quality of the air is depleting, having to buy oxygen to breathe on a regular basis, and that someone else has to decide if you’ll get the supply today or not. Scary right? Kim Woo Bin’s latest released K-drama, Black Knight, explores this topic as 1% of the population survives this natural disaster and the air is now toxic. How will they survive? The amazing cinematography and VFX, along with the storyline, will make you glued to your screens, and Kim Woo Bin’s acting in this drama will again make you fall in love with him.
