    My first meet of Hong-sik Uhm Ah-In Yoo was in Burning (Netflix). I searched other works of his. I saw Secret Affair & Chicago Typewriter. He performed those works stellar as well. It is unfortunate many of his works are not licensed in the states. I would so love to see those. I get a great deal of pleasure watching him portray the characters, which he does so well.

  22. Lily Tan's avatar Lily Tan says:

    I am a huge fan of Yoo Ah In. I watched your almost all (90%) of your movies and drama. I wept buckets watching movies like Punch, The Throne, Tough as Iron. You are certainly an amazing actor.

    My favourite drama is Secret Love Affair. I watched this drama at least 6 times and each time, the emotions are so raw, so intense especially when I listened to the music scores and the dialogues. During my first viewing, I ended up using half a box of tissue papers. This is a classic drama and so deserving of the awards and critical appraisal. Thank you Ah In. I highly anticipate your 2020 new movies. Thank you and god bless ! Lily …fan from Singapore
