My Mister Mermaid had one of the cutest and sweet ML I've seen, but the award for the most charming ML for me goes to Descendants of the Sun. Definitely not a puppy-like lead, but oh goodness, so unbelievably smooth!
Cunning single lady... the male lead is very cute and sweet to the female lead ... although they are divorced lol, it's a long story & I won't give anything away. But yeah their interactions is what makes the show worth while and very cute.
I see you don't watch a lot of J dramas, but a few with charming, nice guy heroes (though, nothing really puppy cute about them because I don't like those kind of MLs):
Orange Days
Buzzer Beat
Aishiteru to Ikketure
K drama:
The Princess' Man
It's Okay, That's Love
Golden Bride (long, family drama with 60+ eps, but worth it, imo)
This is straying a bit further away from the light, fluffy dramas you were originally looking for, but you might like Thirty But Seventeen and Love That Makes You Cry. Both are not exactly light, but the MLs are soft, sweet and puppy-like in their own quiet way. I also can't believe I didn't mention Kimi Wa Petto in my first post. Maybe because it's also more quiet than light, but the whole premise of the drama revolves around the ML's puppy-like-ness.
