How amazing is this kid?

Nam Da-Reum has been popping up in dramas for a while now, since he was seven years old, actually – usually playing the “young” versions of male leads in flashbacks.  I’ve been watching Come & Hug Me, and he’s the young male lead.  And perfect.  He was the young version of Lee Bang Won in Six Flying Dragons.  The young version of our prosecutor in While You Were Sleeping.  The young version of our celebrity DJ in Radio Romance.  His acting profile is long already, and he’s only sixteen.

I love this guy.  He’s got the sweetest face.  And he’s intense as all get out, too.  The boy can pull off an impressive emotional range.  I can’t wait until he’s old enough to play lead male roles – you know, the grown up versions.  But then again… can we just slow down time a bit so we can keep those innocent eyes a little longer?  Oh, the conflict!

P.S.  If you’re not watching Come & Hug Me, you should be.  It’s great.
