Jerk Male Leads
I know it's probably unhealthy but I have an obsession with horrible male leads

1. Easy Fortune Happy Life
Taiwanese Drama - 2009, 17 episodes
Again with the not like hella toxic just a jerk. He started off with the wrong intentions and tried to continue his realtionship knowing it started with lies. But when they were together although it was an act he was a lil sweet, a lil playful banter which I always eat up frs. I wouldn't say that he did any acts that are jail worthy though,

6. Meteor Garden
Taiwanese Drama - 2001, 19 episodes
Technically the most toxic in this version. He had the worst actions in this version, like jail time deeds, but I feel like the way he acted kind of blindsides it. Not excusing it but in this version he was such a simp but he was like really pushy like now that I'm thinking about it why's he SA her multiple times

7. Good Morning Call
Japanese Drama - 2016, 17 episodes
Nah he was just a horrible bf. I haven't watched season 2 don't plan on it cuz I don't want to say goodbye, but I don't need to watch it to know he sucks. Deep down he's a good person (I would hope) he just doesn't have the right choice of judgement when it comes to his priorities. He has jerk tendancies ( Has anyone watched Tempation Island and it was like he litteraly got hella pressed and cheated on her because she said he has "Bitch Tendandices")

8. Itazura na Kiss
Japanese Drama - 1996, 9 episodes
Honestly Naoki wasn't even that bad in this version. I think it's because it's so short so there wasn't lots of chances for him to show is tretorous side ( I try to use big words but idk how to soell fr)

9. Mischievous Kiss: Love in Tokyo
Japanese Drama - 2013, 16 episodes
This man was just evil. Devils reincarnate I tell you. Althought the first season isn't rated that high this show is like one of my all time favorites so don't get it confused. It's just that in the first season there really is not one single thing to like about him. But dw the second season does make up for it, but again he was just evil. Like he has no empathy, no sympathy for anyone but I love it. This kind of goes for all the versions but I think he was the most toxic in this one.

11. My Forever Sunshine
Thai Drama - 2020, 19 episodes
Yea this man was.. You know I tried to understand him because In the beginning of the show he really was a great guy. It's kind of unrealistic how his charcters did like multiple 180 or is it 360 idk I such with angles, but yea his charcter changes drastically thoughtout the show. Hinetly at his worst he was just a lil like, I'd describe it as a Trump supporter. That was his mentality like no matter how much facts you tell them it just doesnt go through their dense heads. I still think that deep down or like in the beginning of the show he kind of was really sweet but maybe he was actually narcassitic the whole time and just started showing is as the show went on. I honestly don't know how they even got together but I still enjoyed it.

12. Secret
Korean Drama - 2013, 16 episodes
Now you was crazy and I wish you were more entertaining then you actually were. He was something else but honestly compared to that other male lead, he was the hose to a fire.

16. Devil Beside You
Taiwanese Drama - 2005, 20 episodes
See I was confused because apparently they were like together the whole show. Like I didn't even realize they had actually gotten together I just thought they were step-siblings who kiss on the dl. The male lead was hella pushy and like a lil crazy but he was in love.

17. Shining Inheritance
Korean Drama - 2009, 28 episodes
He was hm... I think he would be a good BF like we didn't see much of that. He definetly changed so I'd say he's just a bad person but in a healthy realtionship.

18. A Girl & Three Sweethearts
Japanese Drama - 2016, 10 episodes
One of my favorite, just straight up jerks. I wouldn't even say he's like a crazy red flag he's just a jerk. He's just not that great of a person overall but at least he knows it and own up to it. I loved his nonchalnt charcter and if I'm being realistic I think that there is no way he would end up with a girl like her. But maybe opposites do attract even in real life, who knows? I just think of his charcter so often like the actor did his big one and there were so many memorable scenes.

19. Embrace in the Dark Night
Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes
This ones like a dark romance I'd say so yes it's jail worthy acts, but on a dark romance scale I don't even think he was thattt bad.

20. Falling High School Girl and Irresponsible Teacher
Japanese Drama - 2023, 9 episodes
See I don't know what I expect when I started this show. I hate age gap shows and this was also student-teacher so I hate that as well. I just liked the cover and thought that although it won't change my mind maybe it can still be enjoyable. I still don't understand the male lead so I'm just going to say he's crazy and needs to be in a ward.
