It is far from unusual these days to see an idol starring in a drama!  Idols keep trying to break free from their label as just good-looking eye candy by working extremely hard both on stage and on screen, expanding their horizons and showing off their versatile skills.  

Of course, the sides they show are vastly different depending on whether they are being an idol or an acting-dol.  Most idols appear immensely charismatic and fashionable whether they're on stage or doing other promotions as a singer, usually going for bold looks such as a brightly colored hairstyles or even showing tattoos.  On the other hand, acting-dols appear chic and clean-cut, showing a more mature and classy vibe.

It is different for every idol that strives to simultaneously be an acting-dol--and there are so many these days.  Check out these five idol/acting-dols and decide for yourself whether you love their idol or acting-dol side a bit better.  It's a tough choice because you love their whole being, of course!  But let's see what choice you make when it comes down to it.
