K dramas with male leads that are not Richy Mc handsom face

I made this list because I found it incredibly frustrating and a bit depressing that in k dramas so many male love interests were rich and or unbelievably mean to the girl their supposed to fall in love with. So I cobbled together a few tittles that don't make me want to jump off a building. Anyway please let me know if I missed some or if one has aired after I made this list though I doubt anyone will ever read this. If you are reading this I hope it was helpful and that you have a good day.

  • That Fool

    1. That Fool

    Korean Drama - 2009, 16 episodes

    8.5

    That fool while at times being over the top cheesy is a fun romance story that is exactly the reverse of most romance shows today ( rich and powerful woman falls for dimwitted fool of a man ) its great.

  • History of the Salaryman

    2. History of the Salaryman

    Korean Drama - 2012, 22 episodes

    9.0

    Technically the main characters end up very wealthy but only after a crazy silly story with ups and downs. The two main leads even spend time on the streets.

  • Beautiful Gong Shim

    3. Beautiful Gong Shim

    Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes

    This show is funny as hell, my only complaint is that the female lead is made out to be "plane / unattractive but is played by a beautiful actress much like "She Was Pretty". while the male lead is technically the heir to a large sum he doesn't even know that for the majority of the show and dose not act arrogant or petty after.

  • Ms. Temper & Nam Jung Gi

    4. Ms. Temper & Nam Jung Gi

    Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes

    9.5

    A great comedy that shows the life of relatively normal people though most are better off than the average Joe. The romance while not in the center stage for most of the show is great and fits the comedic tone of the story very well.

  • When the Camellia Blooms

    5. When the Camellia Blooms

    Korean Drama - 2019, 40 episodes

    10

    WARNING VERY SAD! This strange show somehow combines a cop drama with a heartwarming neighborhood romance that makes me want to cry.

  • Mystic Pop-Up Bar

    6. Mystic Pop-Up Bar

    Korean Drama - 2020, 12 episodes

    9.5

    Again the romances are under played for most of the show favoring comedic hijinks in a magic filled universe but by the end they find center stage and add weight to the story.

  • Bring It On, Ghost

    7. Bring It On, Ghost

    Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes

    10

    Bring it on ghost is in another comical and magic filled world neither of the main characters are rich or assholes and one of them is dead.

  • Sweden Laundry

    8. Sweden Laundry

    Korean Drama - 2014, 16 episodes

    9.0

    Sweden laundry is another slightly magical comedy, strange how these keep popping up. Anyway It's short and sweet though the end remains inconclusive it's still defiantly worth your time.

  • Advertising Genius Lee Tae Baek

    9. Advertising Genius Lee Tae Baek

    Korean Drama - 2013, 16 episodes

    5.5

    Supper cheesy and doesn't have the best writing  but it hits all my points so give it a try at least.
