My Favorite Actresses
Tired of parochial tastes that list primarily American actresses with prejudice for a concept of beauty and ignoring the great film and television from the Orient for very long years? There is no better TV drama than S. Korea's. Their actresses are supremely talented and with a strong claim as the most beautiful in the world. This list is in no particular preference order.
