Son Suk Ku #1 on Drama Actor Brand Reputation Rankings with Kim Hye Ja at #2

Michelle Topham May 7, 2025

Son Suk Ku, star of the ongoing JTBC K-drama Heavenly Ever After just hit #1 on the Drama Actor Brand Reputation Rankings for May.

This after the wonderful Heavenly Ever After also made it to the #1 spot on the Drama Brand Reputation Rankings earlier in the week.

As if that news wasn’t cool enough, Son Suk Ku’s Heavenly Ever After co-star, Kim Hye Ja, made it into #2 place right behind him while his other co-stars, Han Ji Min, ranks at #15, with Lee Jung Eun at #30.

So, yay!

The rest of the Top 5 actors on the Drama Actor Brand Reputation Rankings are also well-deserving, with Go Youn Jung (Resident Playbook) in the #3 spot, while Park Eun Bin (Hyper Knife) hit #4, and Lee Jun Young, who is currently starring in Pump Up the Healthy Love, was at #5.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Top 30, while likely featuring many of your favorite actors, also includes people equally as deserving (it’s a pity not everyone can be at #1, eh?).

The full Top 30 Korean drama actors in May’s Drama Actor Brand Reputation Rankings, and the K-dramas they are currently starring in looks like this:

  1. Son Suk Ku
  2. Kim Hye Ja
  3. Go Youn Jung
  4. Park Eun Bin
  5. Lee Jun Young
  6. Park Ji Hoon (Weak Hero)
  7. Jung Joon Won (Resident Playbook)
  8. Shin Shi Ah  (Resident Playbook)
  9. Roh Jeong Eui (Crushology 101)
  10. Kang You Seok (Resident Playbook/When Life Gives You Tangerines)
  11. Moon Ga Young (My Dearest Nemesis)
  12. Lee Joo Bin (The Divorce Insurance)
  13. Kim Ji Yeon (aka Bona) (The Haunted Palace)
  14. Ryeoun (Weak Hero: Class 2)
  15. Han Ji Min (Heavenly Ever After)
  16. Choi Hyun Wook (My Dearest Nemesis/Weak Hero)
  17. Gong Seung Yeon (Karma)
  18. Lee Da Hee (The Divorce Insurance)
  19. Shin Min Ah (Karma)
  20. Han Ye Ji (Resident Playbook)
  21. Uhm Ji Won (For Eagle Brothers)
  22. Jung Eun Ji (Pump Up the Healthy Love)
  23. Park Young Gyu (Villains Everywhere)
  24. Kim Yo Han (New Recruit 3)
  25. Lee Dong Wook (The Divorce Insurance)
  26. Park Hae Soo (Karma)
  27. Lee Je Hoon (The Art of Negotiation)
  28. Bae Na Ra (Weak Hero: Class 2)
  29. Kim Dong Jun (New Recruit 3)
  30. Lee Jung Eun (Heavenly Ever After)

As you will see, actors in the dramas Heavenly Ever After, Resident Playbook, Weak Hero and The Divorce Insurance did particularly well on the list.
