Green Flag Leads/Support Roles in Dramas and Movies
So many shows and movies are full of toxic relationships. It is refreshing to watch one that has nice, supportive male leads and supporting characters that are genuinely nice guys.

1. Love Scout
Korean Drama - 2025, 12 episodes
Yoo Eun Ho (Lee Jun Hyuk) - for so, so, many reasons, this character is a green flag. He places his daughter at the top of his priority list. And, he is a gentleman who can still be passionate and intimate.

2. Ikinari Kon
Japanese Drama - 2025, 12 episodes
Ando Hajime was determined, intuitive and supportive of Koshiba Mao and he definitely cherished her. Yes, the marriage she didn't remember happened, but his motives were well intended and his actions were respectful of her boundaries.
I am biased as Shirota Yu is one of may favorites. He needs more lead roles.

10. Top Form
Thai Drama - 2025, 11 episodes
- Jin - you cute fluffy bunny of a man. You know what you want and are not afraid to go for it. For a character so young, the part was well written and Smart's portrayal demonstrated such maturity and intensity. Strong, supportive, determined, kind to a fault, and with just a touch of naivety all rolled into a surprisingly deep character.
- Akin - Closed off with a cold exterior, but with a surprisingly caring and loving on the inside. I didn't agree with all the character choices, but, I didn't write the script.
