Day 1 ¬– Male lead you will never forget
Ri Jeong Hyeok in Crash Landing on You
He is not only kind and caring to the woman he falls in love with, but he also cares for his subordinates who truly respect and like him. That is one of the main reasons why I like him this much. Even though he doesn’t talk much about his feelings, he shows his concern for other through action. And he is still a badass captain in the Army.

Im Eun-Seob in When the Weather Is Fine
He is also someone who doesn’t talk about his feelings, but nevertheless shows them to the people around him. I loved how he eventually opened up more to the people who cared so much about him, but always stayed true to himself. At the end, he was still an introvert, however he was able to accept the good things that happened to him.

Han Ji-Pyeong in Start-Up
Well, technically he is not the first lead, but he stole the show for me. I like that he is smart, hardworking and doesn’t let himself be dragged down by his difficult past. And I love his no-nonsense personality (If I think about it, this is something that reminds me of my boyfriend. So, I guess it’s no wonder I root especially for Han Ji-Pyeong’s happiness.)
