If you’ve watched any number of historical K-Dramas, you must have encountered at least one beautiful archer who not only takes aim at his target, but also at our hearts. In modern K-Dramas too, archery as a sport has had fantastic representation, although we wish there were more. Not only do these archers look amazing doing what they do, they also look amazing, period.
So, here are five archers in K-Dramas whose visuals have us swooning left and right!

OMEGA X’s JaeHan made his outstanding acting debut with “A Shoulder To Cry On”, where he plays Lee DaYeol. Archery is the only thing he has ever known and loved, and needless to say, he is extremely skilled at the sport. It’s a nice bonus that he looks ethereal while filming too!
3. Jun JiHyun in “Kingdom: Ashin Of The North”

The brilliant Jun Ji Hyun plays the eponymous Ashin in “Kingdom: Ashin Of The North”. Archery has never looked as cool as Jun JiHyun makes it. Fueled by rage and vengeance, her arrows never miss, but our hearts definitely stop beating every time we see her.

Ha SeungRi plays Jang HaRi in “All Of Us Are Dead” and it is her exceptional acting and very real archery skill that gives the character her iconic status. Alone taking down the vicious zombies and keeping herself and her friends alive, Jang Hari is the very definition of “badass”. How she also manages to be effortlessly beautiful is beyond us.

Finally, this list wouldn’t be complete without one of the most beloved characters from “Sweet Home” – Park YuRi, notably played by Go YounJung. Now, it’s not news that her looks are out of this world, but her archery skills in “Sweet Home” made us want to adore her. Beauty with a bow, we say!
