In my opinion, this K-drama star does have it all. He has a mature look which is great for sex appeal, and as you have just watched from some of his fans best loved moments, he puts his all into every scene, let alone say he appears to be a great kisser. You can see it in the way Yoo plays Hae Sung in the film. His performance feels more like an act of excavation than an embellishment, which makes him simply a great star and household name.
