My East Asian Dream Team

I first saw her in Office Girls, a stupidly overlong TW romcom that I watched twice because of the astonishing chemistry between here and Roy Qiu. After watching Someday or One Day, I now consider her to be an inhumanly outstanding actor, simply outstanding. Also, aesthetically ?❤?

The first role of hers I watched was Quartet, and her versatility in it was amazing. It didn't hurt that she was also really, really, really, ridiculously good-looking. Her performance in First Love: Hatsukoi confirmed that she's an actor first, gorgeous to look at second.

From his off the charts chemistry with Lin Yi Chen in  "In Time With You" to his always interesting and challenging film choices, he's Taiwan's Odagiri Joe for me.

The contrast between his characters in Forest of Strangers (1 &2) and Divorce Attorney Shin proved to me that he's a REAL actor, becoming each character completely

Like Odagiri Joe, this fine actor often chooses works I would not be inclined to watch, but I do know that if she's in them, I will seriously consider them and that if I do watch them, I'm exceedingly unlikely to be disappointed.

She's come straight on to this list on the strength of the first and only role of hers I've seen - Our Beloved Summer. It was my first of hers, I very much doubt it will be my last.

I haven't seen much of his work, but just seeing his name in the cast list says "this could be interesting and worthwhile".  Because I decided to include only 1 from each country, he pipped Oguri Shun by a mental coin toss. ?

No disrespect to Mr Deng, but he's here to be fair -  I have finished so few C Dramas that I struggled to find a male actor who really wowed me. He's been the lead in 2 Dramas I liked, so he gets to to represent the PRC in the male part of this list ?
