#2023 Roundup. Day 2 –
Male Lead you will never forget.

K-drama 2023: this has been a great year for Male leads. I could easily pick the main characters in Twinkling Watermelon, or Namgoong Min in My Dearest. I loved all of them.
But I’m going with Sun Woo Hyeol (Taecyeon) in Heartbeat, because of his charms and purest heart.

C- dramas 2023: it’s a tie. Zhi Yao (Li Xian) in Meet Yourself and Xu Zi Quan (Elvis Han) in Fake it till you make it.

K-drama pre-2023 watched in 2023: Dong Sik (Yoon Shi Yoon) in Psychopath Diary.

C-drama pre 2023 watched in 2023: He Zi Qiu (Zhang Xincheng) in Go Ahead.

Taiwanese drama pre-2023 watched in 2023: Li Zi Wei / Wang Quan Sheng (Greg Hsu) in Someday or One Day.

      Those two characters, Woo Hyeol and Dong Sik, are among my favorite main male leads ever, so this was a good moment to mention them 😊

      But as I said, 2023 has been a year with plenty of good male characters imo. I liked a lot Shi Yeol (Kang Hoon) from Secret Romantic Guesthouse and Soo Hyuk (Yoon Hyun Min) from Bora Deborah.

    Can I get a cross-cultural drama collaboration with both Greg Hsu and Yoon Shi Yoon? Please, drama gods?

      When I first heard he’s doing a Korean drama I just lost my mind. Hope he does well i.e. the drama does him justice and he gets lots of good offers.

      Wow. I always said I wanted YSY and Kim Nam Gil as brothers in a drama, but now reading you I think YSY and Greg Hsu in the same drama would be a dream too. Dramagods, writernims, PDnims, please make it possible.

    I’m not sure about “never” but for now, I’m not over Elvis as Xu Zi Quan.
