All binge-worthy K-Dramas feature the hot male lead, the hot female lead — and the one other familiar face that you’ve seen in literally three other shows, minimum. The more you watch, the more you realize: many K-Drama producers prefer to cast these seasoned actors and actresses for their supporting roles.

So, without further ado, here are 10 faces you know and love from all the K-Dramas you’ve watched in the past!

2. Lee Kyung Young
K-Drama lovers know once actor Lee Kyung Young gets involved in it, whatever it is, 99% of the time, it will turn out to be a scam, a scandal, or some evil scheme in the making!
