Ready, PH Airens? Let the countdown begin!

#1 Brilliant Legacy (2009)

After making his official debut as an actor in 2006 through The Infamous Chil Sisters, Lee Seung Gi returned to the small screen with the 2009 television series Brilliant Legacy as Sunwoo Hwan. His portrayal of the character earned him an Excellence Award for an Actor in a Special Planning Drama at that year’s SBS Drama Awards. His chemistry with Han Hyo Joo also led them to take home the Best Couple Award in the same award ceremony.

With a total of 28 episodes, Brilliant Legacy will take you to a whirlwind of emotions as it touches on love, family, and oneself. If you are up for a drama with a tinge of romance and comedy, give this SBS drama a try because it did not become one of the top-rated Korean drama that year without a reason, right?

#2 My Girlfriend Is A Nine-Tailed Fox

Probably one of the best romantic-comedy television series in South Korea (writer’s opinion), My Girlfriend Is A Nine-Tailed Fox introduced us to Lee Seung Gi’s Cha Dae Woong, an aspiring actor. Dae Woong was cute, funny, and sweet — a portrayal that gave Lee Seung Gi another Excellene Award for an Actor in a Drama Special at the SBS Drama Awards in 2010. His team up with Shin Min Ah, who played the adorable gumiho, was also that year’s Best Couple Awardee.

If you are not up for a bit of makjang in Brillian Legacy, the laughs and kilig this drama will give you is your next bet for a feel-good watch. Gotta warn you though: prepare a box of tissue as you reach the latter episodes.

Another plus points for this drama for its sweet original soundtrack including Lee Seung Gi’s “Losing My Mind” which won a Bonsang and the Best OST Song at MelOn Music Awards.

#3 The King 2 Hearts

The King 2 Hearts is one of the best Lee Seung Gi drama and his character as Prince Lee Jae Ha will always be a favorite among all the characters he got to play in his 15 years in the industry. The MBC television series, which aired in 2012, put together a brilliant set of actors — Lee Seung Gi, Ha Ji Won, Jo Jung Suk, Yoon Je Moon, and Lee Yoon Ji — together and brought to life a story that was intriguing, captivating, and tear-jerking.

If you are up for a unique storyline that brings you to an alternate reality where South Korea is under a constitutional monarchy and a joint military collaboration between the two Koreas exist, it’s time to ready yourself for an all-nighter because once you started it, you can’t stop it. It won the Silver Bird Prize for an Outstanding Korean Drama at the 7th Seoul International Awards and earned its cast members various awards and nominations from different award-giving bodies.

#4 Gu Family Book

Before Vagabond happened, Lee Seung Gi and Suzy worked together in the 2013 MBC drama Gu Family Book. The drama aired from April 8 to June 25, 2013, closing its run with its highest viewership rating at 19.5 percent based on AGB Nielsen’s data.

His portrayal of the half-human, half-gumiho Choi Kang Chi earned him the Top Excellence Award for an Actor in a Mini Series at the MBC Drama Awards. He also took home a Popularity Award and a Best Couple Award with Suzy in the same award ceremony.

If you want a drama with a bit of historical flare, partnered with action and fantasy and sweetened by romance, check out Gu Family Book and fall in love with Choi Kang Chi.

#5 You’re All Surrounded

Before starting his mandatory military service, Lee Seung Gi played Eun Dae Gu/Kim Ji Yong in You’re All Surrounded. It has a total of 20 episodes which aired from May 7 to July 17, 2014. Through this drama, Lee Seung Gi boasted outstanding chemistry with his co-stars especially with Cha Seung Won who played Seo Pan Seok.

Although Lee Seung Gi did not bring home awards for his role in the television series, You’re All Surrounded is a good watch for those who are into crime and investigative stories. Plus, you will love the relationship of the Violent Crimes team.

#6 A Korean Odyssey

Fresh from his military discharge, Lee Seung Gi immediately went back to work and joined the cast of A Korean Odyssey which reunited him with the Hong Sisters who wrote My Girlfriend Is A Nine-Tailed Fox and with Cha Seung Won whom he has worked with in You’re All Surrounded.

A Korean Odyssey presented a modern spin-off of Journey to the West, a Chinese classic novel (FYI, Lee Seung Gi was part of the variety show New Journey to the West which also took inspiration from the story). The television series is a fun-watch thanks to the sweet banters of Lee Seung Gi and Cha Seung Won.

#7 Vagabond

If you love the chemistry of Lee Seung Gi and Suzy, lucky you! The two reunited, after five years, through Vagabond which premiered on September 20. It’s only on its fourth episode, so you can catch up on the happenings.

While Gu Family Book gave us fantasy, romance, and drama, Vagabond is more action-packed with the right amount of thrill and romance. If you are into spy stories, Vagabond says hi!
