"F&B Rates the Stars: Reviewing Uhm Tae Woong"
Born on April 5, 1974, Uhm Tae Woong has emerged as one of the most popular and charming of South Korean actors. He doesn’t stand out as a “superstar” or “idol” as much as the consummate craftsman and artist. Not to say he’s not gorgeous on screen, or that he doesn’t have crowds of adoring fans. Yet the “Uhm Force” as he is nicknamed, is a quiet, happy, heart-warming presence in the K-Drama scene, who brings a steady acting hand, and an ability to slip deep into character, whether hero, romantic lead or villain. In real life, he seems quiet, comfortable, friendly and sports a warm smile. He’s also quietly masculine and down-to-earth, a contrast to many more fashionable superstars. And yes, he is an superstar and idol in his own right. Read more and see the F&B rating...
