After making a huge splash as the pretty faced scholar in Sungkyunkwan Scandal, Song Joong Ki made sure to leave his mark in pretty much any and every area possible – especially on the small screen, making his nomination for the 20’s Choice Drama award a no-brainer.
While he ended up departing hit variety show Running Man before it hit the height of its popularity, his stint as a regular cast member endeared him to the mainstream, and the young actor was scooping up commercial deals and scripts, left and right.
Though his foray into romantic comedies didn’t turn out so great, critics argued that Song Joong Ki’s performance in the film Love and Cash was the best part of the Han Ye Seul-driven romcom.
And no one could deny his acting skills once the mega-hit historical drama, A Tree With Deep Roots rolled around. As the young King Sejong, Song Joong Ki was unfortunately only in the first few episodes, but his acting struck a chord with so many, that even with Han Seok Gyu’s award-winning performance, few forgot Song Joong Ki was the one to bring King Sejong to life.
