Sharing a passion for Korean drama and culture
Cha Seung Won who acted in the ‘City Hall’ as a genius civil servant was nearly 40 years old.
Besides showing his comedy and soulful performance in the drama, he had also proven that he does not lose out in any young actors in his body shape or appearance. He has captured the hearts of many women. Recently he was known as the ‘Charming middle-aged flower man’.

Election Poster – No 5 contestant – Jo Gook
South Korea ‘Cocoa’ plastic surgery cooperated with an integrated advertising agency and organized a survey named ‘The most charming middle-aged man that touches your heart’. They conducted the survey with women age from 20 to 30 year old and had collected 351 responses. With his 188cm height, Cha Seung Won received a total of 27% votes and came in 1st in the top position.
What is the first condition women looked into when they vote for this survey? The first three conditions consist of gentle attitude, young at heart, social status and financial ability, followed by sense of fashion and statue-like face.
This shows that having good appearance isn’t the main condition for middle-aged men to be attractive.

First I have to ask God’s forgiveness, cause I’m madly falling in love with Cha Seung Won. When I found out that he is married my heart just bleed and split into two, just like cut with a knife. It was 4th of July when I finished the whole series of CH, at the same time my neighbors were also making too much noise with their firecrackers, had to close all the windows, so I could concentrate. I first notice CSW in Bodyguard, I watch a couple of series but did not hesitate to continue I got bored. This time, for some reason his acting in CH, kind of improved well beyond his limits, well done. You feel like you want to jump on him everytime he delivers his line. I watch CH everyday have plenty of days off to do so, It is worth watching I don’t mind buying the CD, once it’s out. Love Kim Sun Ah also, my favorite, best of all the best actress in Korea, so far. You woul not get tired of her beauty. her superb and flawless acting blends with inner beauty and sincerety. I really like her in My lovely Samsoon own a cd, of my own. To everybody in this whole world, please try watching this drama City Hall, you will not regreet, highly recommended, a must drama to watch. lots of lesson learned in reality, wish it willl be aired in the Phils., especially this drama is all about politics. I do sincerely congratulate the director and the scripwriter with geniusly written script and acted by two leading actors to a job well done. Saranghaeyo, Cha Seung Won!

Hi! I’m from Indonesia, City Hall is playing in our local channel. Honestly, I’ve never known you before. But after I watched City Hall, I ‘m looking for your other movies. You are an actor with strong character. I’m waiting for your new project. Love you

Yes he’s gorgeous!!! I don’t even mind his age, or the fact that he already has 2 kids. It just gives more charm to him! Same as Sandra, I’m from Indonesia too and have never heard about him before. But after seeing CITY HALL, I’m now paying attention to every single detail
Hope he gets well soon after the surgery!
XOXOXO

I have watched CH more than 10 x, and never get to bored to watch it again for the 20th time…so the title awarded of being the best drama in 2009 is most perfect for CH, putting CSW & KSA together would probably the perfect decision ever made, the chemistry between them are so right….their kissing scenes of episode 14 give are so sexy, give you an imagination of wishing that it would have you in that car instead of KSA. The hottest-most sexiest middle-aged asian man alive, CSW, certainly have captured the heart of women. I don’t consider the fact that he has a twenty year old son, CSW is so damn sexy & so hot, the haircut is made just for him. Hope his performance in Athena, would be as perfect as he played in CH. So madly truly in love with you Cha Seung Won…. <3

Mr. Cha is a hell of an actor so natural and charming he has a way with his smile and eyes, he delivers a great performance in every scene. He makes us love him as a Casanova does, that man is pure sex=appeal, I don’t know if he is aware of it. He ages as good wine and makes us dizzy just to watch him. Mr. Cha we admire your work, your smile and why not? even your six pack. You are that kind of man that makes water look good…. on you… Gracias

Yeah, I love CSW. He’s tall and handsome! I don’t know him before, but after I watch Athena Goddess of War, I fall in love with him immediately! Starting from that I search all his movies and drama. I love him in The Greatest Love and City Hall. I watch also My Teacher Mr Kim, but his face so different in that movie compared to now. He became more handsome. But my heart was broken when I know he’s married. huu… His son was same age as me,21. But i do still love him. Hehe.. I watch all his movies, dramas, CF and the new one, T-ara Cry Cry music video. Oh I love him so so so much. Yes, he’s the most charming middle-aged man. Indeed!
