  1. One of the major reasons I got hooked with Kdrama is how talented and effective their child actors are! They touch you straight into your heart, while they are just being cute, happy, naughty and especially when they are sad and crying. Even without lines to utter, they get the emotions perfectly.

    Your post is just overflowing with cuteness!!!! Kyopta!

  2. Please tell me who the cute little boy in Bad Thief, Good Thief, is. He portrayed the younger Dok Mul and he was so good at it that I cried buckets in the earlier episodes he was in. The nect child actor who acted the older character was Kim Kang Hoon of When Camellias Bloom. Thanks.
