The most memorable male lead of 2022 for me is Choi Ung in Our Beloved Summer. On the surface he was easy-going and carefree but as the show progresses, a striking fear of being abandoned is being shown. Choi Woo-shik was perfect as this quiet, contemplative character.
Even so, I think honorary mentions of Kim Young-dae’s portrayal of Gong Tae-sung in Shooting Stars is in place. He has great facial expressions and comedic timing which gave this character so many layers.

I enjoyed both these guys in their respective shows as well. More Actors are getting better and better, it’s hard to choose!
