6 Park Jae-Won - Lovestruck in the City

Park Jae-Won, played by Ji Chang-Wook, in this 2020 unconventional romantic-comedy drama, is probably one of the most lovable characters of the show. Lovestruck in the City follows the story of Park Jae-Won and Lee Eun-O, who meet and fall in love while on a vacation. Things escalate when they fall out of touch after a crazy romantic coincidental getaway. Park Jae-Won’s character is that of a hopeless romantic who just wants to fall in love and dedicate all of himself to his significant other. However, things do not go too well for him when he experiences a weird and unconventional heartbreak. His kindness, child like pettiness, and continuing love for just one girl makes him the biggest breathing green flag in the show.

4 Ri Jeong-Hyuk - Crash Landing On You

Crash Landing On You was probably the first K-Drama that many international audiences saw. This show immediately attracted a lot of people because of its storyline of a North and South Korean love story. Besides the amazing acting of Son Ye-Jin as Yoon Se-Ri, Hyun Bin stole the show as Ri Jeong-Hyuk. Ri Jeong-Hyuk, a North Korean soldier, is an extremely strong man with his soft side hidden. Viewers slowly get to see his loving and caring side as the soldier in him washes away. He turns into a soft ball of adorableness with his strong side still intact. His protectiveness over Se-Ri made butterflies explode in the hearts of the viewers.

3 Kim Seon-U - Thirty-Nine

Kim Seon-U, played by Yeon Woo-Jin, from Thirty-Nine is the most reliable character from any show. Thirty-Nine is a story of three female friends who are all thirty-nine years old. Kim Seon-U comes as the perfect balance in the chaotic and extremely busy life of Cha Mi-Jo (Son Ye-Jin). His understanding nature shines through the whole show through subtle actions. He never forces Mi-Jo to tell her inner wars or the problems she is facing, but is always the first person to comfort her. He also fully understands the importance of Mi-Jo’s friends in her life. He gives her space whenever she needs it to hang out with her friends or collect her thoughts. Moreover, he never lets anyone look down on the successful life that Mi-Jo has built for herself. This also helps Mi-Jo get a handle on her reigns through the ruckus and allows her to have someone to fall back to whenever she needs it as a grown woman.

2 Lee Su-Ho - True Beauty

Everybody’s soft boy crush Cha Eun-Woo plays the spectacular, smart, and desired schoolboy Lee Su-Ho in True Beauty. True Beauty takes a very peculiar and comedic approach towards majorly sensitive topics in the South Korean youth. This drama could not have been the success it was without Lee Su-Ho as the male lead who is nothing but an absolute gem.

Lee Su-Ho is someone who always judges people by their personalities and not by their looks. Though some sort of arrogance can be expected from the most popular kid in school, he is friendly and kind to his peers. His affection for Im Ju-Kyung (Mun Ka-Young) never stops even after he figures out that she uses makeup to hide her real face. His selflessness and care for Ju-Kyung always comes before his comfort making all viewers want a Su-Ho in their lives.

1 Lee Jun-Ho - Extraordinary Attorney Woo

If walking, talking, breathing green flag had a face, it would definitely be Lee Jun-Ho (Kang Tae-Oh), from Extraordinary Attorney Woo. Lee Jun-Ho, the heartthrob of Hanbada law firm, is nothing but a complete cutie pie. His character is the most recent and the most well-deserved addition to the most desired and humble male leads in the history of cinema. Lee Jun-Ho falls in love with his autistic colleague and star of the show, Woo Young-Woo (Park Eun-Bin). Through Young-Woo’s lovely and eccentric behaviors and hilarious obsession with all types of whales, Jun-Ho is always by her side. Perhaps the most heartwarming aspect of his character is that there is no pity reflected from his side. He genuinely loves Young-Woo for who she is and would not even bat an eye towards other, more attractive women. His status as the ultimate green flag was instantly solidified in the pilot episode when he helps Young-Woo navigate her way through the revolving doors.
