To no one’s surprise, we have another South Korean actress on the list. We can’t help it since the world is finally getting to know these talented young women, thanks to Netflix and other streaming platforms. Kim Yong-ji started her artistic career in 2015. She starred in the romance K-drama Mr. Sunshine in 2018.

Don’t get us wrong. Jo Bo-ah definitely knocked out her role as the main female lead in Tale of the Nine-Tailed. But Kim Yong-ji’s role as Lee Rang‘s loyal accomplice, Ki Yu-ri, deserves some love too.

She was exceptional, and her back-and-forth with every actor was great. Yong-ji may have somewhat unconventional features according to Korean beauty standards, but that works in her favor as she is stunning nonetheless.
