Surpassing 24% craze hit drama, SBS 'A Gentleman's Dignity' top actors to garner the most unexpected attention are "Witch of Cheongdam" Kim Jung Nan and "For Yoon-ee" Yoon Jin Yi.
Kim Jung Nan takes on the character of the super rich and confident Min Sook, who does not own a building in Seoul's richest area, but an entire street. She takes on the elitist attitude that rarely gets the fan appreciation she received in the drama. A common evil character, Min Sook is different in that even though she does use money as a source of power, she does not exploit others.
Though she appears as a woman with everything, she arouses the sympathy of viewers from heartache from her immature, player husband. She plays the character of a strong, confident woman on the outside with a hidden tender inside grieved by her husband's thoughtless actions, attracting the sympathies of viewers.
'A Gentleman's Dignity' rookie actress Yoon Jin Yi surprisingly rose to fame with both her combination of beauty and acting. Her incredible, and bountiful, crying caught the eye of viewers immediately. Her 24 year-old character, Mae Ah Ri, is in love with brother's close friend, Choi Yoon, who is 17 years older than her. Yoon is a widow with a painful past, he is afraid to be involved with her and constantly rejects Me Ah Ri, turning her into the crybaby character she is now famous for.
Instead of trying to be pretty crying, Yoon Jin Yi gives a realistic impression of complete heartbreak as tears flow down her face as she cries out loudly, barely able to speak in between her huge frown. Viewers nickname her acting 'tears you just turn on' that led to her praise.
