The most memorable sleeve-rolling I remember seeing recently was actually in Crash Course in Romance. When Chi-yeol rolls up the sleeve of Jae-woo it was so sweet. Such a great moment when it felt like he was becoming a part of their family (if only the drama had known where its strengths were). So, not swoony in the traditional sense, but I think a great example nonetheless.

LOL the first thing that popped into my head was in BEEF where Amy tries to tie her husband’s tie and he’s not having it, because he was creeped out that Amy mastrabated with a gun haha
It might not fit the prompt but it was certainly a ‘treasured’ item…

Honestly nothing’s popping in my head
I guess I don’t pay attention to this stuff. Doesn’t really make my heart swoon like confessions or hand holding.

This doesn’t hit the prompt but in The Interest Of Love, every time we got to see angsty Yoo Yeon-seok role up his selves and play some sport to get all his pent up frustrations out, was a sight I tell ya. Saving those sweet sweet screenshots. I mean have you seen the guy’s arm muscles??? (Those scenes are tied with Lee Jae-wook’s epic entrances in Alchemy of Souls imo).

And there were moments where he gave his coat to the FL but I can’t exactly remember if sleeves were rolled up. But does that count for half a point at least?

And there is Jeon Do-yeon’s perfect pronunciation of ANYWAY in Crash Course In Romance that still to this day makes my heart flutter. Yes I have weird tastes. And I’m thinking in CCIR Jung Kyoung-ho’s character would be the one getting the sweater or extra clothing since he was so overworked and underweight.

Oh wait I remember in the camp scene, Nam Haeng-seon tried to do some soothing exercises with Choi Chi-yeol. I’m pretty sure she rolled his sleeves up.
NOPE rewatched the scene all she did was hold his hands and armpits, he rolled his sleeves up slightly if that counts? And what about the iconic belt scene? C’mon? You’ve gotta give me something here…

I’m really blanking on the prompt

I might be a minority, but I never find it swoony. If I wear oversized clothes rolling up sleeves or pulling it back to the forearm would be a natural thing to do, so I can use my hands. If i do leave my sleeves go beyond my hands, its probably because its cold and I want to keep my hands inside the sleeve. May be I dont want other rolling up my sleeves Or putting my seatbelt.
On the other hand, men rolling up their own sleeves is hot as hell.

The first and only one that came in my mind was the Japanese movie Strobe Edge neither Korean, neither a drama... 😅

I’m sorryyyyy, but 2PM’s sleeve rolling dance just popped up in my head when I read the title. Then turns out it’s a completely different topic lol. Sadly I don’t find a girl having her sleeves rolled by a guy swoony.

To spread the love, here’s the hot sleeve rolling dance https://youtu.be/-6aVQrzja9U (sorry my mind is just full of Taecyeon and Junho lately)

Crash Course in Romance has this moment in almost every episode, especially when Chi-yeol was teaching.

And there's Dr. Jang Gye-wol in Hospital Playlist.

Do we ever have swoony sleeve rolling moments in sagueks? A saguek I can guess to have that is Bossam: Steal The Fate.

The Secret Life of My Secretary (Episode 23): The swooniness is not the sleeve-rolling but the hand-washing. https://youtu.be/qowUmnx0z6c

I don't remember ever having seen this in a drama, or maybe I did and it didn't leave any impression on me. Is it supposed to be romantic? I only got a patronizing feel from the description.

Sleeve rolling? Sorry, not a drama. Just watch “Make it” video.

Yes. Almost everything revolves around 2PM 🫢

I think I'll never win this game because my memory is major trash. 😂😂😂

My only thought: Kang Tae Oh in EAW. Then, I saw the actual treasure hunt and I am drawing a blank. I am in agreement with the other commentators. I haven't even registered this drama detail before.

Ooh ooh - so I don’t have a thing for sleeve-rolling at all (for either gender), nor do I find it swoony when MLs do things for FLs that they are perfectly capable of doing themselves, BUT this is actually something that happens in a scene I really like in She Was Pretty:

Sung Joon tells Hye Jin his feelings for her, after inviting her to his place for a cup of coffee. She has been avoiding him all day, and because she doesn’t know what to do and is just trying to extract herself from the situation (not because she doesn’t have feelings for him as well, mind), she spills hot coffee all over herself. Sung Joon insists that she change out of her wet, stained clothes, and lends her something of his. It happens to be a top that says ‘Courage’ on it.🤣

He has to check that she’s OK because she’s not coming out of his bathroom (where she’s hiding from reality for as long as possible). When she does come out, they stand in the corridor of his place where he rather sweetly rolls the sleeves for her whilst telling her that it’s OK if she doesn’t reciprocate his feelings. I think I like this scene because his words, attitude, behaviour and actions all reflect a certain gentleness. It feels very softly softly, but without any prevarication.

The only one that I recall is not a k-drama, but a j-dorama instead. A 10-episode hidden gem of a series called 'Animals' starring the new It-Boy in town, Honda Kyouya.

It's an adorable scene where Umi (fl) & Kazao (ml) are washing (and drying) their dishes respectively, and since japanese loungewear mostly consists of extremely oversized sweatshirts... he steps in to roll up her falling sleeves, as she struggles (and fails to do so) because of her sudsy hands. While having a really tender conversation about life aspirations and what they find admirable in each other.....
Kazao, seeing her struggle, promptly steps further into her personal space, while trying to push up the sleeves of her other hand, the proximity of which does make Umi blush, and hyperaware, and she insists on doing it herself. Aww! <3

ep 6, around the 13th min mark! :D

Since EVERYONE talked about EVERYTHING except the boy sleeve-rolling the girl, I also want to talk about something else which I remembered!
In Yumi's Cells season 2, when Yumi goes to Bobby's house and borrows his pajamas and he only gives her the top and... It's so hilarious and I don't know how many times I watched it.😂

Okay, I know that what I'm going to nominate is a Cdrama and I plead guilty.
Would you consider the fun of the drama and the aesthetic of the scene as attenuating circumstances ?
My Lethal Man, ep 3, at 20min. In the elevator, with backlighting highlighting his pretty jaw, he asks her to roll his sleeve to take his blood. And then he uses his tie.

Now I have correctly read the prompt... I have a scene taken from my happy pill : Devilish Joy: Episode .
There is even a dramabean's caption to illustrate it :

Choi Jin Hyuk falling in love and smiling for almost 1h, what's not to love ? For all beanies annoyed by Song Ha Yoon in Oh! Youngsim, here she's the cute clueless FL.
Just stop at the kiss on the staircase for a happy short romantic movie : they meet, they fall in love and have an (almost) perfect day.
