How Extraordinary Attorney Woo Changed Kang KiYoung’s Life

[@cleo_chez7157]

It’s always really nice to see an actor you’ve seen in so many dramas in supporting roles finally get a main role.

[@MJAY-N7129]

Gosh yeah, I adore him so much

[@madzwrld14]

and to finally see him blow up! my heart is full

[@Twinkle-ht1vg]

Exactly what I was thinking 💗

[@jestropi]

True... I adore him even more in Michuri... He is a very versatile actor

[@anyone7110]

And Kang Tae Oh as well :))

[@himabindu1422]

Not just him, it also changed Kang tae oh's career....Public started seeing him through new light and realized how charming he is...This drama gave even Park Eun Bin a break...Each and everyone in this drama are getting recognized...All thanks to the writer and the director who gave each one of them a special role so that they wouldn't be just Sidekicks to WYW

[@zenaidaalamares5162]

very well said.

[@UXtatic]

I ALWAYS felt he had a lot of talent and hoped he would have a deep and serious role.

[@junestrickland1478]

I'm hoping they film season 2. it's one of the best kdramas I have ever watched, along with hospital playlist.

[@phamnguyen5656]

Yasss! These talented actors have been acting for awhile without recognition. It is now time for them to shine shine ✨️ Let's support them more and more guyssss

[@jessachinsvideodiary]

I agree! 😊

[@motatsumaki]

im actually surprised he’s only just getting recognition considering he’s always the first actor I’ve noticed when watching dramas, and he always plays great characters ! glad he is getting recognition he deserves though!

[@angelaxatwork]

Yes!!!

[@toodie535]

He is such a natural actor--he makes it look and feel as if it's effortless. Would love to see him carry a role such as any of those supporting roles in 'Liberation Notes', where he might appear more vulnerable rather than easy and confident.

[@jenniesworld30]

Same, I recognized him right away everytime I watched a kdrama that his in. The first time I watch him in kdrama is in Weightlifting fairy, and his a good actor there and so natural to act.

[@okokok2803]

I saw him for the 1st time in Weightlifting Fairy KBJ and he played his role really well, He impressed me even more in Attorney Woo.

[@heavenlyadored]

So glad he's getting his recognition. I have known him since the kdrama Tunnel in 2017, and I have always loved him in whichever role he's in and whichever kdrama he's in. Excited to finally see him in a major role and maybe in the future he'll have a main character role soon!

[@prettywanderer1078]

true! aleays love him in every drama he's in. oh and Tunnel is a masterpiece!!

[@lecourageuxame100]

I’ve watched him in so many dramas like “Oh My Ghost”, “Let’s Fight Ghost”, “Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo”. I’ve liked him since!! I’m happy his finally getting recognized! Well deserved! I wish him the best in his career from here on. He totally deserves lead role in a drama or a movie!

[@ImHyucks107cmLeg]

True!!

[@eleanormedina6703]

I see him in variety shows. His familiarty ties to the actors and actresses speakes volumes. I used to look at him as a skinny guy on a diet all the time.

[@sophmore90]

I think the success of Extraordinary Attorney Woo is a combination of a great cast and excellent writing. The stories are complex and not based on criminal activity (for the most part). It's confronting issues that fall into the grey areas of the law and that part of the audience may or may not agree with. These are the kind of stories that attract viewers.

[@Sana.R.17]

literally every character in this drama is so interesting and fun I don't skip even a single bit of it while watching but I'd have to say Jung Myung-seok is my favourite character from this series, i love him 😂💕💕💕 let's hope the writer doesn't kill him though 🥹

[@jeanna6772]

kill him??? what 😟😟 I haven't watched episode 13 and on yet I'm so confused

[@vincentgo8413]

@@jeanna6772 He has stomach cancer in ep 14

[@FsSohail786]

He didn't die, spoiler sorry 😊

[@liya1042]

He is one of my top favorite character too❤️

[@MysteryFrenzyOfficial]

This guy played an incredible role as a senior attorney with a sensible decision-making mannerisms. The growth from side roles to lead one is incredible. Keep up the good work ☺️

[@aleliisidro2397]

He's such an underrated actor. I've seen him as an extra so many times and he's always that one character you wouldn't notice but once you do, he probably wil become one of your fave side characters. I love how he can portray comical and funny characters as well as reliable characters. I hope that he get more attention because he's a great actor

[@charissa5699]

Iio

[@soniamidorikato]

One of the best actor in this show...his character development is extraordinary. Who doesn't want a Boss like him...🤩🥰

[@MJAY-N7129]

Agreed, omg same

[@anusree2632]

He's an absolute gem of an actor and he's being appreciated rightfully so. I do not care about his bank balance, but I'm so happy that he's finally getting his due attention from the mainstream media

[@desireehendrix2746]

I love him and please dont let ,him die. The love and dedication that he gives his understudies is heart warming. I love him in this series.😇😊

[@OGDweeb]

I love him as Attorney Jung. The character is so endearing. He's patient with Young-Woo, and really espouses a lot of the feelings us 40ish people are feeling as we age and start thinking about the things we regret.

[@spring21400]

I love his character in Extraordinary Atty Woo. He is the epitome of a good team leader. He is a good actor and he deserves the attention and recognition he is getting now.

[@dorothytan7092]

I just love this show . It’s serious, but entertaining. KangKiyoung is just so cute and funny. He is a good actor. Please let him recover from his stomach cancer . I hope the ending of the drama is a happy ending for everyone.

[@jonathanphin5157]

He’s been one of my favorite k drama actors for awhile. From his hysterical character in What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim to his scary cat killing character in While you were sleeping, he’s just been phenomenal with incredible range. I’ll watch anything he’s in.

[@BaconEaterHBCError707]

I remember some of his drama being Main character's bestfriend (What's wrong with Secretary Kim), Doctor (W: Two worlds) , College student who is always filming for Paranormal activity (Let's fight ghost), criminal Detective (Tunnel), usually he's getting supporting bestfriend roles but i'm proud of him that he gets the main character role this time 😊 more Main characters role to come.

[@ThanamasLuv]

I've adored him since years ago. I'm glad he's getting the recognition he deserved. His personality really shines in the variety show village survival the eight.

[@Wrdwrk]

Kang Ki Young is quietly BRILLIANT…a total STAR because his kindness and sincerity pours into our hearts !

[@LemonRose59]

Didn't know he didn't barely get recognition, I feel like I see him everywhere.

[@1000ksw]

Kang Ki young is one of my favourite actors. I watched extraordinary attorney woo because of him. The drama is excellent though. I’m so pleased he finally got a big part. Would love to see him as a romantic lead.

[@imperviouus]

I’m glad he is getting the recognition he deserves. He was the best supporting actor for like 5+ years.

[@artsyhyd]

I first noticed him in What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim, I knew he was such a good actor and has his own charisma, his character in Attorney Woo really showcases his talent and charm and suits him so well.

[@barborastanclova7586]

I saw him in At Eighteen for the first time and I honestly thought he was a very popular actor. He is so good in every role 💗

[@dreamhunter5778]

I have always known him and enjoyed all his roles. I am super glad others are enjoyed him as well. He has been part of some of the best dramas. Maybe people should go back and see his other dramas. He is a joy to watch.

[@Nerdytravels]

I recognised him the moment I saw him and I was so pleasantly surprised with the take of his role. Myeong-seok is a character that strikes a balance between serious and comedy in such a fine manner that it's almost hilarious, not to mention he carried the role so well that it made me forget the comedic roles he had played before this. Oh what a ride! 😌

[@AjZeph]

He's my most favorite supporting character. Dude's nailing it

[@roxanaheath8098]

I have seen him in many productions. Very fond of him and his acting works.

[@dreamcatcher2960]

He's an amazing actor and I'm so glad he's getting recognized. I've seen him in many shows, the first being "oh my ghostess" and I've enjoyed all of his roles. I was so happy to see him again in EAW.

[@taravaotahiti]

Great acting in this drama from Kang Ki Young. This role really shows your skills as an actor. You deserve an award!

[@nyamjoonie3101]

just realised i've watch most of the fun and amazing kdramas that has kang ki young in it...

[@kazueokada8634]

I loved Kang Ki Young in this role! His acting was absolutely spot on. I loved the warmth that he brought to the story and his wonderful interaction with Park Eunbin's character (she is absolutely fantastic). His role made me laugh and enjoy his considerable acting chops. I agree with others that it's nice to see an actor that previously acted in mostly supporting roles to a main character in an absolutely great kdrama series that I loved so much! I look forward to future roles for Kang Ki Young with much anticipation!

[@TheConsistentoDDity]

I first noticed Kang Ki Young in Oh My Ghost. And although the character was annoying, there was something special about the actor, a genuine warmth, that made me notice him and I've enjoyed watching Kang Ki Young grow as an actor over the years.

[@summer._._.1988]

This gentleman is such a beautiful person. So glad to hear that he is getting recognized, all the best to him ‼️‼️🌹 🇨🇦

[@patriciakalili2433]

Yes, yes and again yes!!! His eventual warm up to Attorney Woo is a super addition to the ensemble. Thx for this huge window into his well earned accomplishment recognition!!

[@serinetsky7792]

he's really one of the good ones , he just doesn't get the recognition . He has the skills to be a ML and also he's one good looking man ,handsome , attractive and charming.. His smile reminds me of the J-hope , and sometimes overall appearance even he has the same vibe as him Really wish him the best ❤❤ fighting

[@elinfelicia382]

I really loved him in what’s wrong with secretary kim. I was actually a bit sad that he wasn’t in more movies, then I saw him again in this drama!! Congrats to him more people finally noticed him!!

[@c-jrhodes3274]

He is my and my daughters FAVORITE and has been for quite a long time. Ever since we saw him in weightlifting fairy we have affectionately called him “Uncle”. We are so happy he is doing so well in his acting career and can’t wait to see him in a leading role!

[@leeboonkang2]

seems like most drama he acted in are always received well by audience. even tho to some he might just be a "supporting " role, i feel that he actual supported all those dramas, giving them a chance at success with his outstanding acting.

[@eniarralakire]

He guest starred in When You Were Sleeping as a man who killed neighborhood cats and eventually killed his brother for insurance money. He was so good in that drama. I cannot give his acting justice.

He’s definitely one my favs. It’s good to see he’s getting recognition and hope to see more of him

[@weltraumkotze]

I have watched less then 30 dramas, and he's been in 7 or 8 of them. I was not aware of him being in 6 of those before starting them, but I always absolutely love his part

[@carolkeesler8705]

One of my favorite actors! His warmth and comedic acting give him a familiar likable character! ❤️ We wanted to nurture him when he became I’ll just as much as the loving Attorney Woo!

[@CB-yr4hq]

I lved watching him in Woo Young Woo because I usually see him in roles as a villain or as someone who's like a fool so watching him as a smart and thoughtful person was a great eye opening to me. He still made me laugh but I really appreciated how he brought his character to life.

[@abigailyeboah5848]

I love that he finally getting the attention he needed and I have been a fan of him since I watch oh my girl

[@retteech]

Love him and his comedic timing. I was so happy to see him in Extraordinary Attorney Woo. I wish him well.

[@taeyong4281]

Its always amazing to know that people are finally getting the recognition that they deserve. I saw him in a lot of kdramas and I am really happy for this new milestone

[@olaidewilliams8202]

I am the happiest to see him get a main role!!!!! His light shall continue to shine ❤️❤️❤️

[@01maggie]

Seen him in many roles. He is master of comedy.. If you have this skill then you can do very serious roles. True comedians are really the masters in acting!! They can do any role...comedy to serious drama!! So glad he is getting this recognition!! Long over due ..... Wishing him all the success!!💗

[@lsamoa]

First drama I saw him in was Let's Fight Ghost, he was hilarious so he left a very good impression. But that scene in the car in EAW was when I realized that he was among the best actors around. Breathtaking scene! I wish him a lot of success and I hope to see him in a lot more dramas to come!

[@theaolivia6989]

I know him from "oh my ghost" he is one of the most annoying characters in the drama, but his amazing skill to portray the character is unbelievable

[@eatfruitsalad345]

it's true!! i barely recognized him in Wooyoungwoo cause he was so mature and mentor like in this drama

[@Suzeekpop]

He is just adorable. Excellent actor with great comedic skills. ❤

[@tikooir2419]

The role Atty Jung fits him He is flexible can shift from being funny to serious face He is a good actor 👍👍.Looks so dignified looking yet . Good job Ki Young 🙏👍🙏

[@CozyGameCat]

I didn’t know he was in this! I’ve been a fan of his for sooo long! Glad to see his hard work is paying off! Fighting!!!

[@laetitiath1958]

It was about DAMN time! Il love him in all of his supporting roles, he just steal the spotlight for me

[@rmb-1213]

I love Kang KiYoung🥰

[@Zeynep-ut5gt]

His character is definitely my fave in Extraordinary Attorney Woo! He is such an awesome actor and am so glad he is getting more recognition.

[@utkarshbxsharm2901]

I know this dude from i am not a robot , i remember being a 10 who used to watch kdramas in 2018 on her mini phone and ever since then this actor has been in my eyes , i have seen in so many dramas and always wished him to be a main character atleast in one and still hopes too . Kudos to such an fun to watch actor !

[@buzzy33]

I actually knew him through At Eighteen and thought that he really fits roles with an authoritative and yet friendly figure.

[@idaleopando4439]

I like him so much, he did the excellent acting very much,,and I always saw him a lot every episode which his role is very delicate... he's very professional,,hope I can see more of him in kdramas in the future...

[@sWeetYariiZiitAh16]

I'm so happy he got a main role as well as Junho (Taeoh). I've seen them in so many secondary roles that I always wished I could see them in a main role, specially Junho. He's so charming that I always ended up having a supporting character's syndrome XD And I also have to mention Kyungha (Sooyeon). I've seen her in other dramas as a supporting role and I'm glad she got a secondary main role here, she's such a good actress. I hope Kiyoung and Kyungha can get another main main role in the future (like Junoh's or Eunbin's). Cause even though they got a leading role in EAW, it was more like a secondary main role. Still, I'm glad they got their deserved spotlight.

[@jxxi]

He's always been one of my favorites. Glad he's getting the attention he deserves!

[@alisosiaalisosia9282]

He is one of my favorite supporting korean actors He always does a memorable job

[@chyrelmuzic329]

He has a beautiful smile and he comes across as a nice bloke enjoy his role in extraordinary Attorney Woo

[@shenmisheshou7002]

Extraordinary Attorney Woo was one of my first exposures to South Korean television and while it seems to be a cultural remake based on the French TV series Astrid et Raphaëlle, it is an excellent series with very high quality acting. Seeing Kang Ki Young's character develop over the series was actually one of the acting highlights of the series. I enjoyed this series far more than I would have expected and Attorney Jung was a very important character in my appraisal of this wonderful TV series.

[@fadwatouil]

He’s a great actor even when he had only supportive roles he catched me all the time he’s very funny ❤️

[@dditche9512]

I loved his character in WWWSK... he was so naturally funny... but I loved his personality in EAW... he is so good looking as well in EAW. More power Sir Kang KiYoung...😊

[@julianamarizu.deguzman5462]

First saw him as supporting role in oh my ghost and now he’a getting the recognition he deserve!!!

[@조자츨]

Every KDramaholic knows him, even if only for his looks. As for me, his performances as a supporting character are very memorable, he will reside in your mind and remind you of his existence when you see him in other dramas, even for a bit role. He's one of the actors that I always have the 'I saw him in (name of drama)' moment. His Sous Chef Min Soo in Oh My Ghost and Manager Goo in Exit made me like him because of his portrayal of the annoyingly lovable characters. But his portrayal of Attorney Jung in EOAW changed all my perspective on him as an actor. I'm now watching and rewatching the dramas and movies he's been in. He did an excellent performance as Qasim in The Point Men. To all Kang Ki Young fans, this movie is a game changer for him. Made me more excited to see him give life to Pil Gwang in The Uncanny Counter 2. I hope everything goes well for him and his career, because he's such a good actor, but sadly a little underrated. I'd want to see him in a romcom as a ML, like his President Park in WWWSK, but in a much grander scale. I read that he's been casted in one! Hoping to see more of him!🥰🥰🥰

[@mari8221]

I'm so happy for him....he deserved to be known!!! One of the best actor in kdrama...

[@itsnara3290]

I'm so glad he's getting the recognition he deserves. I've seen him doing so many supporting roles and watching him rise high in his career makes me so happy!!! I saw him in Secretary Kim, W two world, weightlifting Kim bok joo, and while you were sleeping. I was so happy to see him in a lead role in Attorney Woo!!!! He's my favorite actor!!!

[@iamblufairy]

im pretty sure he was one of the first kactors who stood out to me, ive always loved his roles! i even remember looking him up repeatedly and being super disappointed bc he hadnt had his own main character moment yet... when i started watching extraordinary attorney woo i didnt even know he was part of it but was elated when i saw him. im so so happy for him to be more recognised now, he has so much talent and potential and i really hope he will be able to play more great roles as he grows. i always look forward to seeing him on screen

[@deb4908]

Happy to see him get the recognition he deserves

[@Gaeforhae]

He’s actually really handsome and he has always left an impression on me even tho he was the supporting role at that time I’m so happy for him and I actually liked him because he resembles my bias DK ( seventeen)

[@stefaniamessina5145]

Wow I am hooked on the attorney woo k drama....the most well acted and endearing story... It brings autism into a different light... and teach all of us that disability its just different but not less mind ability for most. Well done to the director and scriptwriters

[@awesomekoga7848]

My cousin told me she was watching this series. I was a special education teacher. This caught my attention because it was about an autistic person. I must say, Woo Young Woo was portrayed excellently. If I didn’t know she was acting, I would have believed she was autistic. I love the three main characters, they have a chemistry that make them seem like true friends. The way Jung Ho looks at Young Woo makes me believe in true love. This show is one of the best shows I’ve seen in my life! I am anxious to see more. Hopefully I will learn Korean from watching this. Like how RM (BTS) learned English from watching Friends. My mama in heaven would be so proud if that happened. I remember her speaking Korean and me just looking at her like what is she saying? The adults only spoke Korean on rare occasions or when they didn’t want us kids to know what they were saying.

[@missbuda]

I love that he got to play a more serious character this time.

[@pamelapieris]

Kang KiYoung has shown the depth of his acting talents in portraying Attorney Jung. The drama rests on the skills of three actors, and he is one. He portrays certain subtleties like a smile, and that completes the segment for that particular narrative. I trust directors both in movies and TV dramas would catch these subtleties. I enjoyed his depiction of Attorney Jung, and look forward to Kang KiYoung getting meaningful characters. I wish him the very best! 🌹🌹

He is so WONDERFUL in Woo, and i just love this show, the whole cast, the writing, the direction , the song by Suzy,,- But he is so GREAT in this show

[@Kikay2929]

I love this series. The story , writers, screenplay, actors and director did an amazing work. We cannot understand the story without an excellent translations. I also learned a lot in the legal cases presented in the show and how it was resolved.The way he played the character as the lead /senior attorney is just flawless. All of the actors played their character very well that they don’t look like they’re acting at all.

[@judycasley108]

I really liked him in Secretary Kim. So I’m thrilled that he’s been moved to main character status.

[@astrovrse]

[@Rezzz10]

he deserve all the success he gets he is phenominal i love his acting

[@misslanfeartelamon]

He is an actor who can play any role

[@fandomizfun1318]

Please mention his role in Moments Of Eighteen, where he played a high school teacher with a heart for the students and held his ground against pushy parents. I fell in love with him as Attorney Jung and realised that I had first seen him in I'm Not A Robot. His role there was good but Atty Jung is just unbeatable! Am now catching up on his previous shows (like Moments Of Eighteen) and very happy to be his fan, knowing what a sweetheart and family man he is and bonus point....his birthday is just one day after my dear hubby's! I'm heading to Korea soon for a short holiday and if there is one Oppa I could bump into, I would choose Kang Ki-young. :) Thank you for this great video!

[@zah936]

TBH, I love Kang KiYoung's acting in this series the most. I hope he gets to level up and become a solo lead character or one of the mains in a drama or a movie. It doesn't necessarily have to be a romantic comedy or light fare series, but I want to see his mettle for acting beyond just being a comedic side character or the supportive character.
