5 best Byeon Woo Seok K-dramas on Netflix & other OTT platforms — Perfect Crown, Lovely Runner
1. Perfect Crown - JioHotstar
Perfect Crown didn't just top the ratings game in South Korea, but is also the most-watched Korean drama on Disney+. The dazzling pair of Byeon Woo Seok and IU charmed everyone, despite the flawed storyline. Woo Seok, in particular, played the magnetic presence of Grand Prince Ian with a likeable zest.
2. Lovely Runner - Viki, MX Player/Amazon Prime Video
Lovely Runner is the career-defining K-drama for Byeon Woo Seok, no questions asked. Winning hearts across the globe like it's a cakewalk, the Hallyu star brought Ryu Sunjae to life with such tenderness that was needed for an emotionally complex character like that. Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon's delectable chemistry was the beating heart of this underdog series, which catapulted both stars to superstardom. And well deserved, indeed!
3. Strong Girl Nam-soon - Netflix
Being bad never looked this good! While we love Byeon Woo Seok's loverboy era, his villain arc in Strong Girl Nam-soon left everyone mesmerised. Stealing the show with his devilish act, the love-hate chemistry he shared with Lee Yoo Mi overshadowed the lead couple's story, too. Fans started petitioning that the crackling pair reunite for another K-drama!
4. Record of Youth - Netflix
Byeon Woo Seok is a face card that demands main character treatment. However, before Lovely Runner changed things for him, Woo Seok was channelling second lead syndrome in the criminally underrated series, Record of Youth. Equipped with the “yearning” eyes, you'll be rooting for his character, a breakout star born with a silver spoon, to have a happy ending. With or without the woman who stole his heart!
5. Moonshine - Channel K/Amazon Prime Video
Byeon Woo Seok's comic timing takes centre stage in Moonshine, another hidden gem in his filmography. As the Crown Prince who loves his alcohol, he had a push-and-pull chemistry with Kang Mina that was a highlight for viewers throughout the sageuk (historical drama).
