Kim Shin (Gong Yoo) (Goblin)

Lee Dae Gil (Chuno)

Kim Baek Du (Like Flowers In Sand)
Nam Se Hee (Because This Is My First Life)

My favourite heroes are often the quiet and brooding type, even better if they are shown to be good at their job:

Yoon Hyungchul (All about Eve), Seo Junghoo (Healer), Yi Hwan (Our blooming youth): They trust their heroine’s judgement and abilities, give them space when needed, but are always present in the most swoony way.

Hwang Simok (Stranger), Goo Seungho (Life): So it’s Cho Seungwoo 😄 Both appear "gray" but are truly kind at heart.

Moon Seoha (See you in my 19th life) and Kim Yeonggoon (Watcher): Both had a tough childhood but grew up to be very kind, gentle and sensitive men.

No Jiwook (Suspicious partner) and Park Junmo (The worst of evil): because it’s Ji Changwook? 🤔 😅

And the last one is Kim Dogi (Taxi driver).

Waay too many but some of my favourites:

Baek Seung-soo - Stove League

Lee Young-joon - Whats wrong with Secretary Kim.

Hwang Si-mok - Forrest of Secrets

Kim Sung-ryong - Chief Kim

Kang Oh-soo & Oh Seung-ha - The Devil (Lucifer)

Kim Sa-bu - Dr Romantic.

Hwang Yong-sik - When the Camelia Blooms

Haha the prompt said "plural," so... Seo Jung-hoo (Ji Chang-wook, Healer), Park In-seong (Chae Jong-hyeop, Unlock My Boss), Ji-hwan (Uhm Tae-gu, My Sweet Mobster), Jung-woo (Rowoon, The Matchmakers), Kim Baek-du (Jang Dong-yeon, Like Flowers in Sand), Nam-young (Yoo Seung-ho, Moonshine), Lee-hwan (Park Hyung-sik, Our Blooming Youth), and Sun-jae (Byeon Woo-seok, Lovely Runner)... just to name a few 😅 (*I already had a list for this Lol*)

There are many I love, but a few stand out a bit more:
Song Ha-young (Through the darkness)
Jung Ji-woon (The King's Affection)
Jung Yi-hyun (Happiness)
Jang Uk (Alchemy of Souls)
Yoon Hee Jae (Hyena)
...and that may only be the tip of the iceberg! 😉

I have a lot!

Jang Uk - Alchemy of Souls.
He is my everything fr.

Ryu Sung Joon - Blind.
His kindness and goodness despite the environment he grew up in were inspiring. The man was dedicated to justice even while questioning everything he had ever known about himself and his life.

Jung Yi Hyun - Happiness.
Capable, Handsome, gentle, lovelorn, what more can I say?

Honorable mentions:
Sim Jung Woo - The Matchmakers, and Jin Yi Soo - Flex X Cop.
Both had the best character developments ever.

I remember answering in plural for Favourite Heroine and I also remember my answer only being limited to Korean dramas. That’s not going to be the case here for Favourite Hero:
My one and only choice for this prompt goes to my Favourite Hero/Male Lead character of all time, regardless of drama geography (Chinese dramas vs. Korean dramas vs. Taiwan dramas), and it is for the character of Wei Ying/Wei Wu Xian.
Much like his name “Wei Ying” (“Ying” [嬰], meaning “child”) and his Courtesy Name— a coming-of-age name bestowed on someone once they reach a certain age—“Wei Wu Xian” (“Wu Xian” [無羨], meaning “no envy”), his character truly does have a childlike sense and ever beautiful smiling face—as his adopted older sister so endearingly and lovingly points out— but isn’t quite dumb to the complexities and injustices of the world; in his own personal life, he truly has all that he wants and does not envy the life of another but this attitude of his is also ironically the thing (of many things) that garners the envy of many around him, even his own adopted brother. Despite the circumstances of life (being an orphan, not officially belonging to a clan, and not displaying the interests that society deems as “appropriate”), his kindness shines through and he always stands up for what he truly believes is right regardless of what others think and say, and he will stick with it to the death (literally). His love for those around him knows no bounds—even those set by society— yet, he is sometimes cruel to those around him in his ignorance of their love for him.

He is a Hero who truly deserves the love of the entire world and anything short of that is beyond an insult.

This question made me realize that most of my favorite male heroes in dramaland are not from K-dramas, and those that are definitely tend to fall into the morally messy category. However, if I'm going just with shows from Korea, some favorites include:

Hwang Shi Mok in both seasons of Stranger
Chief Kim in Chief Kim
Lee Dong Shik and Han Joo Won in Beyond Evil
Ha Woo Jin in Liar Game
Jeon Bong Jun (Nokdu) in The Nokdu Flower

If I expand this to other Asian dramas, I'd also add Ning Yuan Zhou in A Journey to Love, Pu Yi Yong in Oh No, Here Comes Trouble!, Wei Wu Xian in The Untamed, and Fan Xian in Joy of Life.

Park Hae-young (Lee Je-hoon) in Signal

Hwang Yong-sik (Kang Ha-neul) in When the Camellia Blooms

Hwang Si-mok (Cho Seung-woo) in Stranger

Crown Prince Lee Chang (Ju Ji-Hoon) in Kingdom

Lee Ik-jun (Hospital Playlist)
Hwang Yong-shik (When the Camelia Blooms)
Baek Hyun-woo (Queen of Tears)

With my favorite heros I only remember the character, no matter how much I love or don't love the actor, or even the drama. That's why many many of the male leads of my favorite dramas don't end up in my list.
They are men who I wish we had around a lot more of, because they make the world a better place.

Goo Dong Baek (Hwang Jung Min) in Accidental Couple.

Park Moo Yul (Lee Dong Wook) in Wild Romance.

Choi Young (Lee Min Ho) in Faith.

Park Sun Woo (Lee Jin Wook, and by extension Park Hyung Shik) in Nine.

Park Ri Hwan (Lee Dong Wook) in Bubblegum.

Lee Hwa Shin (Jo Jung Suk) in Jealousy Incarcerate.

Choi Ban Do (Son Ho Joon) in Go Back Couple.

Park Do Kyung (Eric) in Another Oh Hae Young.

Seo Poong (Lee Jun Ho) in Wok of Love.

Jo Jin Gap (Kim Dong Wook) in Special Labour inspector Jo.

Baek Seung Soo (Nam Goong Min) in Stove League

Ryu Sung Joon (Ok Taecyeon) in Blind.

Kim Sae Ha (Seo Kang Joon) in Grid.

Gu Won (Lee Jun Ho) in King the Land.

Jung Koon Hee (Lee Joon Young) in Please Don't Date Him.

Okay, these two are romantic heroes and very much the stuff of our (or my) fantasies. Because for me, a "favourite" doesn't have to be a very layered character. He just has to treat his lady right and I have to like his "gaze".

1. Lee Dong wook as Seol Gong chan in My Girl - If you can look at me with that look of admiration while you know you are getting conned by me, you are my hero! It's that simple! 😂

2. Lee Min ki as Nam Se hee in Because This is My First Life - When did I begin falling for him? (Please don't think of me as "미친년/
michinnyeon / crazy bitch", as Soo ji thought of Ji ho after fake marriage revelation after reading this 😂). When his prospective wife asks him, "Have you recycled this week?", and he is left wide-eyed, open mouthed with the realisation (adoration) that he has got a "unique wife". While a girl who is as crazy about recycling as you, may not sound very unique/ adorable to most romantics, to our dork, she does! That's his language of admiration, which is bound in pragmatism. And I like that about this drama and about our hero. They like simple things like that about each other - just ordinary, everyday things. Because that's real life (as I see it).

PS: You get the theme here. If you can love my flaws, and see even my boring little habits as "lovely", you are my hero! 😍

Mr. Gu (My Liberation Notes)
Eugene Choi (Mr. Sunshine)
Jung Yi-hyun (Happiness)
Ha-seon (The Crowned Clown)
Park Hoon (Doctor Stranger, literally carried the whole show)
Do Min-joon (My Love From The Star)
Baek Hyun-woo (Queen of Tears)
Han Sang-hwan (Save Me)

Yay for plural! My top 10 (in no particular order)
1. Lim Eun Seob - When the Weather is Fine (Seo Kang Joon)
2. Enrique - (Flower Boy Next Door) Yoon Shi Yoon
3. Jang Geu Rae - Misaeng (Im Shi Wan)
4. Jang Uk - Alchemy of Seouls (Lee Jae Wook)
5. Nam Shin III - Are You Human, Too? (Seo Kang Joon)
6. So Mun - Uncanny Counter first season (Jo Byeong Gyu)
7. Gong Woo Jin - Still 17 (Yang Se Jong)
8. Seok Dong Chul - Save Me (Woo Do Hwan)
9. Song Ha Young - Through the Darkness (Kim Nam Gil)
10. Sunwoo Joon - Dodosolsollalasol (Lee Jae Wook)

Lee Jun Ki in *Flower of evil* and *Two weeks*
Gong Yoo in *The silent sea*
Choi Jin Hyuk in *Zombie detective*
Seo Kang Jun in *Are you human too*
Kim Jung Hyun in *Mr Queen*
Kim Wu Bin in *Black knight*
Wang Xing Yue in *The double* (cdrama)

I love a hero to go on a journey with. Out of isolation into community, out of trauma into healing, out of ruin into success, out of apprenticeship into mastery, out of paranoia into trust. Sometimes all of these at once! Some fav examples are Jeong-hyeok from Crash Landing on You, Hae-young from Signal, Im from Live Up to Your Name, Uk from Alchemy of Souls, Ung from Our Beloved Summer, Ha-young from Through the Darkness, Hwan from Our Blooming Youth, Moon from The Uncanny Counter, and Jeong-u from Doctor Slump.

I also love an absolute emerald green flag. Heros who are such stunningly good people they are just a joy to watch. Examples are Ji-yul from Once Upon a Small Town, In-seong from Unlock My Boss, Won from King the Land, Baek-du from Like Flowers in Sand, and Sun-jae from Lovely Runner.

Honorable mention goes to heros that are highly competent and devil-may-care - a type I’ve always loved. Many heros exhibit this style at certain times during a story, but there are also some for whom it defines their character, like Yeon from Tale of the Nine-tailed and Hyun from Hello Monster/I Remember You.

I take this prompt as favorite male characters who show some kind of heroicity or have to go through a hard situation in their lives (so I leave out some of my favorite male leads because maybe their lives were mainly simple and peaceful, and I leave out villains and antiheroes... Sorry, Bidam. You still are my favorite male character).

So...:

_ Heo Im (Kim Nam Gil) from Live up to your name.
_ Dong Shik (Yoon Shi Yoon) from Psychopath Diary.
_ Hae Young (Lee Je Hoon) and Jae Han (Jo Jin Woong) from Signal.
_ Heo Yoon (Yoon Shi Yoon) from Mirror of the witch.
_ Shi Yeol (Kang Hoon) from Secret Romantic Guesthouse.
_ Woo Hyeol (Taecyeon) from Heartbeat.
_ Jang Geurae (Si Wan) from Misaeng.
_ Holo (Yoon Hyun Min) from My Holo Love.
_ Louis (Seo In Guk) from Shopping King Louis.
_ Jin Woo (Hyun Bin) from Memories of Alhambra.
_ Fan Xian (Zhang Ruo Yun) from Joy of Life.
_ He Yun (Bai Jing Ting) from Reset.
_ All the main male characters in A Journey to Love.
_ Zi Qiu (Zhang Xincheng) from Go Ahead.
_ Zhang Wan Sen (Qu Chuxiao) from Shining for one thing.
_ Li Zi Wei (Greg Hsu) from Someday or One Day.

Unlike real life I tend to prefer complex, imperfect heroes in my dramas, anti-heroes even.

Vincenzo Casanova - Vincenzo
Kim Hae Il - The Fiery Priest
Gu Yanzhen - Arsenal Military Academy
Kim Seong Ryong - Chief Kim
Baek Hae Sung - Flower of Evil
Haru Tennouji - Trillion Game
Goo Dong Mae - Mr. Sunshine
Li Xun - Lighter and Princess

But for a more traditional definition of hero I like the ones who quietly, selflessly and without fanfare love and support the heroine without expecting anything in return.

Wang Yoo - Empress Ki
Lee Jeong Hyeon - My Dearest
Yoo Ji Hyeok - Marry My Husband
Kim Jin-Hyeok - Encounter

My favorite K-drama hero is Kim Boong-do (Ji Hyun-woo) in Queen In-hyun's Man, who is a combination of both my types.

I have two types: the genius, emotionless tsundere (Lee Eun-hyuk (Lee Do-hyun) in Sweet Home, Akiyama Shinichi (Matsuda Shota) in Liar Game), and the bright, flirty, knows-what-to-say-at-all-times (Enrique Geum (Yoon Shi-yoon) in Flower Boys Next Door, Kim Tae-sung (Song Geon-hee) in Lovely Runner).

Oh my word. One name flashes in my mind:
Yoo Tae-han in Dark Hole (played by Lee Joon-hyuk)
He is a former cop who lost his job due to corruption, now living a rough life. And then walks into a world falling apart teeming with zombies, he still acts like a cop saving the lives of strangers who he has no obligation to and who can't repay him. He puts his life on the line without hesitation although you can see he is also afraid. Yoo Tae-han.
I watched Dark Hole after my father passed away and it comforted me so much to know that there are heroes like him in the world. Not to mention Yoo Tae-han is hot as heck.

The rest of the list:
Kim Hae-il in Fiery Priest (Kim Nam-gil)
Park Gwang-ho in Tunnel (Choi Jin-hyuk)
Do Kan-woo in Voice 2 (Lee Jin-uk)
Kim Bon in My Secret, Terrius (So Ji-sub)
No Whi-oh in Mad for Each Other (Jung Woo)

If you're broken heart, have lost faith in humanity, if you need a hero, these dramas may help.

Thanks for the option of plural cause I can't seem to pick one. My heroes don't even come from the romantic genres as much.

Lee Ik-jun, Kim Jun-wan, Yang Seok-kyung: Hospital Playlist.
Cha Jin-woo: Tell Me That You Love Me.
Lee In : Captivating the King.
King Cheoljung : Mr. Queen
Cho Seung-woo : Life, Forest of Secrets
Han Dong-jin, Yoon Joon : Call It Love
Choi Ban-do : Go Back Couple
Ju Young-do : You Are My Spring
Seo Do-guk : Perfect Marriage Revenge
Gu Ja-kyung : My Liberation Notes
Kang Chang-wook : Recipe for Farewell

And, if I am to pick a villain hero/antihero,
Park Min-hwan : Marry My Husband

Lee Sung-Min in Misaeng
Ji Chang-Wook in Healer
Hyun Bin in Crash Landing
Gong Yoo in Coffee Prince
Ji Sung in Kill Me Heal Me

For some reason (gee, I wonder what that could be? 🔥🔥🔥🫠), I'm finding it harder to separate the male actor from the role than I did with the female actors. With no small effort, I think I managed to filter out the "oppa factor."

Oh Sang-Sik (Lee Sung-Min) in Misaeng
Kim Sabu (Han Suk-Kyu) in Dr. Romantic
Lee Jae-Han (Cho Jin-Woong) in Signal
Hwang Yong-Sik (Kang Ha-Neul) in When the Camellia Blooms
Two Jang Hyuk characters: Doo Chil-Seong in Greasy Melo and Dae-Gil in Chuno

**HONORABLE MENTION**
Kim Bong-Seok (Lee Jung-Ha) in Moving
Kim Moo-Young (Choi Jin-Hyuk), the eponymous Zombie Detective

This one is easier since MLs that didn't pissed me off or disappointed me at some point are very rare. And let's not even talk about SLs...

Anyway, my favorite boys are:

-Kim Baek Du (Like Flowers in Sand): do I even need to explain? He's the ray of sunshine everyone deserves in their lives.
-Enrique (Flower Boy Next Door): he's probably the only noisy person on fictional earth I'll ever like. But he's intentions were so pure and he helped Dok Mi so much. And when this aired I was a little Dok Mi so it felt like he was helping me, so I love him alright.
-Baek Yi Jin (25-21): he was so painfully relatable.
-Chang Hee (My Liberating Notes): we all love the cool sibling.
-Uri ahjussi (My Ahjussi).
-Jang Geu Rae (Misaeng): inspirational boy.
-Louie (Shopping Wang Louie): probably one of the first MLs that wasn't trash, like AT ALL. He was so pure and open, and treated Bok Sil so well it was almost a cultural reset for me (tbh 2016 was a reset). He proved that you can write a spoiled chaebol without the crappy personality.
-Tabong (The Best Hit): he was so extra. I had too much fun with him.
-Kang Cheol 1.0 (W): loved how he would always match Yeon Joo's chaotic energy and then take it one step further. Dude was WILD. 😂 But also caring and loyal and good (MBC was really on fire on 2016).
-Kang Cheol (SL in Ho Gu's Love): best SL ever. Iconic king.
-Kim Dong Wook in everything (You Are My Spring, Find Me in Your Memory, My Perfect Stranger, The Guest): he is the walking forest kdramaland needs to water more often.
No touchi couple (Mr Queen): just hilarious. 😂 And the development of their characters and relationship was beautiful.

Honorable mentions:
-Choi Hang Yeol (Coffee Prince): for saying the most iconic line in kdrama history and breaking all social conventions.
-Cocky Prince (Dali and the CP): the prince and his crazy suits saved that show.
-Joon Hyun (WF Kim Bok Joo): I can't mention the cultural reset of 2016 and all MBC's gems of the year without mentioning this show.
-MLs of Happiness and Flower of Evil: because you can have a partner that kick ass and still be a man. I love how supportive these two always were of the FLs.

I thought I was going to be edgy by naming Cho Seung-woo in Stranger, but every other person mentioned that, so I'll go with his character in God's Gift: 14 Days. Also, in kind of the same vein, Kim Sung-oh in Unlock the Boss. And Lee Sung-min in Memory. In a lighter vein, Lee Beom-soo in History of a Salaryman. And I hesitate to call this one a hero, but Song Joong-ki in Nice Guy. And almost forgot, Yang Dong-geun in Ruler of Your Own World.

I share many of the heroes already listed, but here are a few especially close to my heart:

Hyun-su from Sweet Home, Hwal from Bulgasal, UK from Alchemy of Souls, Van from Island, and Sung-yeol from Scholar Who Walks the Night, all struggling so hard to hold onto their humanity (a favourite theme of mine);

For overcoming trauma or unfortunate circumstances, Do Hyun-soo from Flower of Evil, Shin Se-gi from Heal Me, Kill Me, Crown Prince Lee Chang from Kingdom, Hwan Ki from My Shy Boss, Min-Kyu from I Am Not a Robot, Lee In from Captivating the King, and Ji-hwan from My Sweet Mobster;

For resolute, enduring love through time, Yeon from Tale of the Nine Tailed, Yeon-jun from A Time Called You, and Sun-jae from Lovely Runner.

For being unwaveringly pure of heart, Kim Baek-du from Flower in the Sand, Hogu from Hogu's Love, Shi-kyung from King 2 Hearts, Nok-du from Tale of Nokdu, and Heo Jun from Mirror of the Witch.

I guess it’s just me who loved Park Taejoon from Love all, play. The neglected sibling to his parents’ golden girl, the friend when everyone else was giving Taeyang the cold shoulder and the team mate who fought for the right for players to heal over being forced to play injured. He was the best boyfriend and was so heartbroken when they broke up due to pressure from his family he endured high levels of physical pain from an injury without realising it.
Love all, play also had a runner up in the sunbae Seungyoon who had stayed by Soohyang’s side as a friend when she got pregnant and married an idiot who then used her child to manipulate her when they got divorced. He played the long game and when he finally confessed told her he was prepared to be the second lead in her life until her child grew up and could no longer be weaponised.

My top favorite drama heroes are:

Ri Jung Hyuk (Hyun Bin in CLOY)
Kim Baek Du (Jang Dong Yoon in LFIS)
Lee Jang Hyun (Namkoong Min in My Dearest)
Kim Myung Joon (Yoon Kye Sang in The Kidnapping Day)
Jang Uk (Lee Jae Wook in AOS)
Fan Xian (Zhang Ruo Yun in Joy of Life)
Ning Yuan Zhou (Liu Yu Ning in A Journey to Love)

Reply 1988 - Taek
My Secret Terrius - Kim Bon
Happiness - Jung Yi Hyun
Master's Sun - Joo Joong Won
Kingdom - Crown Prince Yi Chang

A few left-of-center ones:
Myul Mang (Seo In Guk) in Doom at your service. Because I think he was a great character who deserved a better drama/plot. It would be fun to see ( the character) Doom play Batman, or the Bruce Willis character in Moonlighting ( detective by day! Doom by night!)
Lee Young-joon (Park Seo-joon) in What's wrong with Secretary Kim. This is left of center because I hate the 'keeping secrets for your own good' trope. But this fiction made it work, and even seem romantic. He had spent so much time trying to help her succeed in her goals, without expecting anything back (except he assumed she would always be there, and got a shock)
Nam Kang-ho (Teo Yoo) in Love to hate You. This one is because he just has some fantastic lines. And an unwavering devotion to, and belief in, the FL (who is literally kick-ass)
And last but not least, my forever fictional crush,
Diver Dan (David Wenham) in Seachange. Not Asian in any way, but I was just talking about it on a different thread and it has to be mentioned. Highly recommended

Cha Dong-joo (Kim Jae-won) Can You Hear My Heart

The first one to come to my mind is Healer's Seo Jung-Hoo/JCW. So I guess that's it.

So many!

Bagsa adeul (Shi-Hyun) in Heartless City> He was a gangster with style!

Choi Dae-Hyun in Backstreet Rookie> He just wanted to live a simple life and loved his job.

Seo Jung-Hoo in Healer> He was the best courier man!

Moon Ha-Won in A Piece of Your Mind> I loved his journey to discover that his safe place was in fact his mother.

Song Ha-yeong in Through the Darkness> I just wanted to give him a hug.

Another vote for Hwang Si-mok.

Ryan Gold: Her Private Life
Yoo Ji Ho: One Spring Night
Moon Gang Tae: IOTNBO
Nam Kang Ho: Love to Hate You
Seo Poong: Wok of Love
Both MLs: Navillera
Cha Eun Ho: Romance is a Bonus Book
And my latest, Chae Seung Hyo: Love Next Door

Chen Mai Dong: Will Love in Spring
Xu Zi Quan: Fake it Till You Make It

Like I discovered my favourite type while listing my fave FLs, I think I have one for the men too... Those who support and uplift women, no matter how problematic or idiosyncratic they may seem to everyone else... It's what I look for in people in general, and I guess it reflects in my drama viewing too!

I have three! Five if we count Taiwanese dramas.

Han Yu-hyeon from Hello Me. Just so delightful and wholesome. He's caring. He is very decisive and, once he realizes he likes the FL, he doesn't waver or hold back. He's also hilarious.

Ko Nan-do from My Holo Love: my poor baby is convinced that he's unlovable, so much that he thinks everyone will prefer a hologram over him. But then throughout the drama he shows so much character growth and learns that it is his right to be loved. I also think it's just how Yoon Hyun-min plays him, plus this major thing that I have for cold MLs who warm up over time.

Jung Ki-ho from Castaway Diva: oh man, this boy sets the bar SO high. Silently watching and caring for the FL from afar is putting it mildly. He started an island cleaning club in college just to look for her! He joined the Korean navy! He BOUGHT HER A HOUSE. And the way he's played by CJH, where he comes across so grumpy until we finally see his beautiful smile and it's just glorious.

Taiwanese dramas:
- Ren Guang-xi from Autumn's Concerto. He's complex and imperfect, and shows so much character growth. He's not my favorite ML as in "I would date this man in a heartbeat," he's my favorite in terms of how he's written and developed.

- Zhou Zhen from Love Around. He is so sweet to the FL, and does a lot of things to help her without her knowing. He puts herself before himself all of the time.

This is list is making me realize how much I love MLs who silently love and care for the FL from afar, lol.

It is interesting that no one has mentioned Park Saeroi from Itaewon Class. Itaewon Class was iconic for its business power fantasy story both as a manhwa and a drama. I wonder if it is because it was a story aimed at men and the romance part was more of an afterthought.

I'd like to split this in two short lists:
Heros I like to watch
Healer (Seo Jung Hoo)
He's tall, dark, handsome and eternally traumatised, er, brooding.
What's wrong with Secretary Kim (Lee Young Yoon)
Also tall, dark, handsome and eternally traumatised (I'm sensing a pattern here), with the need to carry the weight of the world on his very broad shoulders. And, of course, "AURA!!!".
Flowers of Evil (Baek Hee Seong) You know why.
Ki the Empress (Emperor Ta Hwan) Boy goes insane like he's going on a holiday. Then he comes back. It's difficult to be paranoid when the whole world really is out to get you.
The Red Sleeve (King Yi San): I'm surprised noone mentioned Junho in this role yet, I empathize with him a lot. This one gave me all the feels.

Heros I'd actually would love in RL
Marry my Husband (Yoo Ji Hyuk): Always supportive, never suffocating, always on her side, never toxic. So good.

Still and always:

Mr Sunshine [Lee Byung hun]

My Ajussi [Lee Sun kyun]

It has to be Kim Shin, played by Gong Yoo, from GOBLIN, THE GREAT AND LONELY GOD.

@missvictrix I second, third, fourth, and fifth Gang-doo!

There are so many of them, here's my list for now in no particular order:

Best husbands:🏅
Do Hyun Soo - Flower of Evil
Lee Ik-joon - Hospital Playlist
Nam Se-hee - Because this is my first life

Irresistible Men😍
Ri Jeong Hyeok - Crash landing on you
Ryu Sun-jae - Lovely Runner
Kim Shin and Wang Yeo - Goblin
Baek Hyun Woo - Queen of Tears
Li Zi Wei - Someday or One Day

And my oppa (Ahn Bo-hyun♥️) in:
Goo Woong - Yumi Cells
Moon Seo-ha - See you in my 19th life
Captain Do Bae-man - Military Prosecutor Doberman
Jin I-soo - Flex x Cop

My ajusshi

I tried to use the same categories I used for the heroines, but the reality is that I do not approach heros the same way as heroines.

Heros I'm most fond of : Seo Jung Hoo (Ji Chang Wook) in Healer. He got me into Kdrama, 'nuff said. Dark Jang Uk (Lee Jae Wook) in Alchemy of souls Light and shadow is the reluctant heros per excellence. He was ok and fun when innocent and in formation. In the part 2 the burden of power gave him a seducing sollemnity.

Hero I relate to : Baek Hee Sung (Lee Joon Gi) in Flower of evil. I'm surprised but that how I feel when looking at my watched dramalist. He feels an outsider, and doesn't understand how other react.

Heros that amuse me : Yoo Jin Oh (Go Kyung Pyo) in Chicago Typewriter and Joo Joong Won (So Ji Sub) in Master's Sun. Their dialogues are golden.

Heros that I admire the most : Kim Min Joon (Woo Do Hwan) in Mad dog and Yang Jung Do (Seo In Guk) in 38 Task Force for their ability to react in the microsecond and find a way to make the situation work for them. I would like to study them to learn how to have a fraction of this ability. Jung Yi Hyun (Park Hyung Sik) in Happiness because he is the incarnation of cool in stressful circumconstances.

Heros that I want to be : Lee Joon Ho (Jung Kyung Ho) in Prison Playbook is a friend you can rely on. Seo Ji Hwan (Uhm Tae Goo) in My sweet mobster is a good manager. Moon Ha Won (Jung Hae In) in A piece of you mind, because I just want the atmosphere of this drama.

Heros (or antiheros) that fascinate me : Seo Do Young (Kim Young Kwang) in Evillive and Kang Yo Han (Ji Sung) in the Devil Judge.

Hero who I lust for : Park Kwang Ho (Choi Jin Hyuk) in Tunnel for his voice. Well his others dramas also have his voice, but in Tunnel it derailled me from the plot.
