Yoo Seung Ho has been in show business since he was young, charming audiences as a child actor in both movies and films. You might recognize him as the young counterpart to some of your fave historical drama protagonists before he got his own supporting role in Queen Seondeok. Post-military service, he made his transition to an in-demand leading man. To celebrate his birthday this month, here’s a list of our fave Yoo Seung Ho K-dramas through the years.
K-Dramas Starring Yoo Seung Ho

3. Arang And The Magistrate (2012)
Arang And The Magistrate is one of our fave fantasy historical dramas ever. In it, Kim Eun Ho (Lee Jun Ki) is a nobleman with a unique gift: He can interact with spirits. Arang (Shin Min Ah) is a ghost with no recollection of how she died. When Eun Ho becomes the magistrate of her town, she asks for his help. Seung Ho didn’t play the lead here, but he was a certified scene-stealer in his role as the Jade Emperor. With his long, luscious hair and mysterious smile, we couldn’t help falling in love!

4. Imaginary Cat (2015)
If Joseon Magician was Seung Ho’s comeback film after military service, this was his first drama. It’s Seung Ho with a cat! What’s not to love? This short slow-burn web drama revolves around Hyun Jonghyun, an aspiring webtoon writer who currently works as a part-timer. He lives with his lovely cat, Bok Gil (voiced by Han Ye Ri), and tells her all his hopes and worries. This drama is perfect for animal lovers. You can tell Seung Ho genuinely loves cats whenever he looks into Bok Gil’s eyes!

When the shadow organization finally makes their move, they put a fake (Kim Myung Soo, aka L of Infinite) on the throne, and Yi Sun must find a way to take back what’s his and save his people.

8. Memorist (2020)
We love seeing Seung Ho in crime dramas, and this one had us on the edge of our seats! This time around, he plays Dong Baek, a detective determined to catch criminals no matter what, no matter how. He has the power to read people’s memories when he touches them. On the trail of a notorious serial killer, he partners up with Han Sun Mi (Lee Se Young), a superintendent who holds the distinction of being the youngest person ever to hold the position. The closer they get to solving the crimes, the more confusing the identity of the killer becomes.
