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), Queen of the Office (2013) and My Fair Lady (2016).Oh
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 22, 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.
