5 K-Drama Male Leads With No Red Flags In Sight
If only you could bring them to reality.
One of the most heartbreaking lessons of adulthood that we have to learn from our own mistakes is that there are no Prince Charmings around us in real life. All people are flawed, some more or less than others, and all people are entitled to make their own mistakes.
However, if you want to nurture the idealistic side of your soul, here are 5 male leads from Korean dramas who are absolutely flawless.
Ri Jeong-hyeok (Crash Landing on You, 2019-2020)
Although not as emotional, Jeong-hyeok is still one of the most selfless, understanding and brave characters in the K-drama mart. He has a soft side and a love for music, he loves his family and remains loyal to his duty, but he never forgets the basic principles of humanity and that's what makes him so heroic.
The Whole Male Cast (Hospital Playlist, 2020)
If you are looking for a show where all the characters are surrounded by green flags, then Hospital Playlist is for you. Not only are they all doctors who fight hard for the lives and comfort of their patients, but they're also genuinely good people and good friends to each other, which is generally a rare occurrence. The best combination you can find.
Hong Du-sik (Hometown Cha Cha Cha, 2021)
This drama shows the dynamic of a hard-working woman from a big city who moves to a smaller town near the sea after some rough events in her life, and a man who ends up helping her mend her broken heart. The male lead is funny, sweet, and genuine, which makes up for his lack of a formal job and huge income.
Seo Joon-hee (Something in the Rain, 2018)
There are many taboos in Korean society when it comes to dating, but Seo Joon-hee wasn't afraid to break them all in order to win the fight for the woman he truly desires. This dedication to love, despite the age difference and social status, is a huge green flag in itself, but his overall sweet personality only adds to the description.
Jung Yi-hyun (Happiness, 2021)
It takes a lot not to lash out at someone close to you even in a very stressful situation, and Jung Yi-hyun proved to be able to do just that. He was caring and supportive of Yoon Sae-bom throughout the whole series, even when her decisions didn't seem to be the best or the most well-thought-out to him. He did his best to protect her, and that deserves a lot of respect.
