Ah, fine men of kdramas, how can we look past them?
In a previous video, we have talked about awful male leads that left such a bad impression,
they fell short to the much better second leads.
However, there are still Kdramas out there where our main guy is nice to the point we’re
swept off our feet, and today’s video is a kudos to them.
Without further ado, here are 5 Kdrama male leads that totally treat their girls right:
Hong Du Sik - Hometown Cha Cha Cha: The handy Hong Du Sik might not have the most
luxurious lifestyle or a trendy wardrobe, but when it comes to how to treat a girl properl-y,
he’s definitely the man.
Without the need for tacky grand gestures nor flowery words, our dear chief Hong cares
and expresses his feelings for others in much more subtle ways.
He pays attention to small details, regardless of whether you’re a stranger or a close
friend.
And just look at Hye Jin’s smitten reaction when Du Sik carefully wraps paper around her
ice cream stick so that it does not stain her hands, isn’t she basically all of us?
Adding to that is the night at the drinking game where he gently holds her cheeks, their
many shared hugs, and many, many other gestures - which all scream ‘gentle king’.
While Du Sik is kind of grumpy at first sight, he really grows on the viewer and on Hye Jin
too.
The moment the couple entered a relationship, it is just tooth-rotting to watch them, in
a good way.
Their interactions are also super hilarious, and tiny mishaps they face really make our
day.
Remember that time when our male lead misunderstood when his girlfriend ask for
couple yoga?
Or their all-night phone-calls or a romantic night-out at the beach to exchange words of
love?
Whatever they do, Du Sik treats Hye Jin the way she likes and enjoys every moment they
have with each other, and as the audience, we just can’t stop feeling at awe at their
relationship.
And while both did go through difficulties, they managed to overcome it all, coming out
of the storm hand in hand.
Du Sik is really the best boyfriend material and his relationship with Hye Jin is the cutest
one ever.
Lee Ik Jun - Hospital Playlist It’s not an everyday scene: a Darth Vader
hand in hand with a child, walking into a hospital all coolly.
And the man in the costume is also not someone you can come across daily - it’s Lee Ik
Jun, who happens to be both a skillful surgeon and a loving boyfriend in Hospital Playlist.
Among the talented doctors and their own respective stories and journeys at the Yulje Medical
Center, Ik Jun rises to be an unique character, whose love story draws attention from the
audience because of his corny yet touching romance with his long-time friend slash coworker
Chae Song Hwa.
One thing to notice in the early stage of their relationship is Ik Jun’s attitude
towards his love interest.
He might be the comedic king with his friend groups both on and off-work, and yet, there’s
plenty of room for seriousness when it comes to Song Hwa.
This speaks volume during the bottling spinning game where he is always hesitant to tell how
he actually feels towards Song Hwa for fear it would damage their friendship.
However, when it’s time to come clean, he allows her both time and space to make sense
of her own emotions and does not force any deadlines on her - the prime definition of
a healthy relationship.
Ik Jun’s treatment towards Song Hwa is also super gentle and understanding: he is willing
to give her space, make her smile, buy coffee for her on a difficult day, the list goes
on.
And while it does take almost an entire season to see their love story blossom, viewers just
exhaled in relief knowing that they eventually found their way.
The classic confession in the rain just breathes more love into the air and the couple gets
their relationship sealed with a kiss.
A doctor, a father, and now a lover, Lee Ik Jun is a precious man treating his girl right
and getting the love he deserves.
Hwang Yong Sik - When the camellia blooms Hwang Yong Sik will undoubtedly restore your
faith in K-drama men, because the way he treats the female lead Dong Baek after falling for
her at first sight is just top-notch.
While a police officer in Dong Baek’s town, Yong Sik is anything but brainy.
And yet, he is a loveable goofball with a fiery spirit that eventually wins him the
girl.
Per the words of the guy himself, Yong Sik radiates the energy of a cute and fluffy golden
retriever.
He’s always tailing after his crush and peppers her with gentle conversation like
a dork.
And no worries, Yong Sik is super sensitive to Dong Baek’s feelings and never does anything
overboard.
This is why when he learns that Dong Baek didn’t want a relationship, he immediately
dials back to be a friend, keeping his feelings inside and prioritizing his love’s decision.
This is such a healthy and decent move, and compared to all the pushy guys that keep on
honing girls to love them, our male lead is just a whole angel.
Much expectedly, as the series progresses, we can only fall harder for the guy, as Yong
Sik defends Dong Baek from the judgemental neighborhood, acts like a parental figure
towards her son, and strives to catch the lurking serial killer that targets his love.
He’s just so genuine and pure that even a crumb of that sincerity would be nice in
reality.
And eventually, Yong Sik’s efforts paid off.
Dong Baek gradually opens up to him and welcomes him into her life.
The development in their relationship also comes hand in hand with Dong Baek confronting
her own problems and loving herself.
It is truly a beautiful sight to witness, as they both grow to be better out of love.
Really, the guy is a gem in the Kdrama world - and we need more guys like him.
Ryan Gold - Her Private Life It’s easy to relate to the female lead of
‘Her Private Life’, seeing that she fawns over handsome oppas just as we do!
Still, Deok Mi gets a bit unrelatable later on, because her man Ryan Gold is just straight
out of our dreams.
Deok Mi and Ryan Gold’s relationship might have started off on a rocky step, but it is
later revealed that he’s the best boyfriend (and boss) there is!
First of all, he’s super understanding.
As Deok Mi is a diehard Kpop fan who invests a lot of her time in fangirling, she spends
fortunes on her idols and even her home is filled with goods and pictures.
However, instead of being put off by such a habit, Ryan accepts Deok Mi as she is.
He doesn’t try to change her even a little bit, and supports her because he knows stan
life makes Deok Mi happy.
Then, he’s also open-minded: he mistook Deok Mi for being a lesbian after meeting
her and her bestie in a hotel, and without a single beat, went out of his way to help
the couple have the best time.
The lengths he went for Deok Mi went on and beyond: he always knew to apologize instead
of holding onto his pride.
When Deok Mi gets an opportunity to work in New York, he was supportive as he knows it
will be good for her career.
And, if you are sick of over-jealous boyfriends in Kdrama, Ryan Gold is the way to go.
He never once doubted his girlfriend for being friendly with her male childhood friend, even
though said friend held a torch for her.
He’s funny, charming, sweet, and also super sexy.
He’s the right mix of supporting, understanding, and topping it all off with Kim Jae Wook’s
handsome looks, we had to admit, Ryan Gold is the ideal boyfriend material right there.
Finally, we are reaching the end of the list, and our final pick for the dreamiest Kdrama
boyfriend is none other than Nam Se Hee of ‘Because this is my first life’.
In the series, we get to see the awkward romance that blossoms between Se Hee and the female
lead Yoon Ji Ho, who are forced to share a house and enter a marriage, just in the span
of four episodes.
As someone who’s often passive and even borders on robotic, the attention Se Hee gives
Ji Ho often seems minute yet thoughtful.
It starts with the proposal of marriage in order to benefit both without any emotional
attachment.
Having a mortgage hanging over his head, this might be Se Hee’s only way out, and yet
he chose not to burden Ji Ho when she decided to leave.
There always seems to be a visible boundary between the two to ensure a safe space, which
is often neglected regarding Ji Ho’s unfortunate experience with her former co-worker.
Another reason that puts Se Hee on the list is that he always listens.
He listens to her after the night of her assault and he listens to her pre-wedding breakdown,
and never once tries to take advantage of her, minding to keep his composure and distance.
When it’s time for the two to fall in love, Se Hee has his own ways of affection.
Damaged by his past, Se Hee sees himself as unlovable.
Yet, as Ji Ho gets closer, he warms up to her and gradually opens up.
He asks to be close to her himself, taking his own steps to ensure a relationship.
Se Hee is just downright endearing, we cannot help but give a tiny awww as he moves about.
Yep, the man is certified husband material.
And that’s the list!
But of course, we cannot cover all the good Kdrama guys out there.
