}} Oh Ji-ho (born April 14, 1976) is a South Korean actor. He is best known for the television dramas ''Couple or Trouble'' (2006), ''The Slave Hunters'' (2010) and ''Queen of the Office'' (2013). ==Career== Oh Ji-ho was born and raised in Mokpo, South Jeolla Province.〔 He dropped out of his e-Business Management course at Anyang Industrial Technical School and at the age of 17, moved to Seoul on his own to pursue a career in acting.〔 He first found work as a commercial model, then made his acting debut in 1998 with a minor role in the film ''Kka (Naked Being)''. Despite starring in a few movies (notably the erotic two-hander ''La Belle'' in 2000), Oh would become better known for his work in television. He soon earned heartthrob status among fans for his handsome face and well-defined muscles, but critics initially dismissed him as just another model-turned-actor with attractive looks but little talent. In 2004, Oh established his acting credentials in ''A Second Proposal'', about a divorcee getting another chance at love; he won Best Supporting Actor at the KBS Drama Awards. He next starred in ''Couple or Trouble'' (2006), a Hong Sisters-penned romantic comedy series inspired by ''Overboard'' about a handyman who gets his petty revenge on an amnesiac heiress by lying to her that she's his live-in girlfriend so that she'll help take care of his three nephews. ''Couple or Trouble'' received high ratings and praise for its stars' acting, and Oh took home two popularity prizes at the MBC Drama Awards. This was followed by more leading roles in ''Autumn Shower'' (2005) as a man who falls for the best friend of his comatose wife, ''Get Karl! Oh Soo-jung'' (2007) as a pro-golfer who wants to get back at the ex-girlfriend who dumped him when he was overweight and unsuccessful, and ''Single Dad in Love'' (2008) as a mixed martial arts fighter whose young son has been diagnosed with a brain tumor; but these series drew lackluster ratings. In 2009, he played a smart yet socially inept underperformer whose wife will do anything to help him climb the corporate ladder in ''Queen of Housewives''; despite being outshined by his other costars, Oh proved his willingness to look foolish in the service of comedy (similar to his turn in the 2005 series ''Super Rookie''). Oh then reunited with ''Single Dad in Love'' television director Kwak Jung-hwan in his most high-profile, critically acclaimed series yet: historical period drama ''The Slave Hunters'' (2010). Using his physicality to great effect, Oh portrayed a Joseon military general who becomes a runaway slave and his performance garnered him an Excellence Award at the 2010 KBS Drama Awards. In 2011, Oh was cast in a supporting role in ''Sector 7'', a 3D action film about a creature lurking on an oil rig, then appeared in the Korea-China-Japan co-production ''Strangers 6'' and medical drama ''The 3rd Hospital'' (both in 2012). He also played ousted guard Baek Dong-soo in ''The Grand Heist'', a Joseon-set comedy heist film about the theft of ice blocks from the royal storage. Oh next starred in ''Queen of the Office'' (2013), a workplace dramedy adapted from Japanese television drama ''Haken no Hinkaku'' that addresses the plight of temps, followed by paranormal police procedural ''Cheo Yong'' (2014) as the titular ghost-seeing detective, and period drama ''Maids'' (2015) where he played a mysterious slave on an undercover assignment. He then played a obstetrician/gynecologist with impotence problems in the adult romantic comedy film ''Love Clinic'' (2015). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oh Ji-ho」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
