We have to begin with Lee Hye-ri’s most iconic performance which stays in our hearts even today! Sung Deok-sun was more than just a character, she was a person we could all relate to in so many ways that it is hard to count them all down. This has to be especially true for those born before the 2000s who have lived in a world that is different from today. This character is the perfect mix of understanding, comedy, and adventure while carrying an aura of freedom that we have all fallen for.
