  1. I have always admired Lee Byung Hun’s acting on Korean movies and television series as well as in his Hollywood films and Mr. Sunshine is not an exemption. However, in fairness I was amazed by Yoo Yeon Seok’s role as Gu Dong Mae. He ought to be given a hefty pay per episode too. He was the character in the story which moved and touched me a lot of times. I cried so much and my heart broke on how he ended compared to the rest who had a tragic ending too. He did an ace and superb performance! I would watch this series again and again, just because of Gu Dong Mae. <3
