The most puppy dog energy of ML's

This  ML character is genre-defining, truly the blueprint of the golden retriever trope. 

Golden retriever to a T. The ML is super bouncy and charming, a little more mischievous than the average golden retriever character. 

His emotions are written ALL over his face the entire series, so adorable and touchy-feely, high key obsessed with FL. Golden Retriever 

ML is more like a wounded golden retriever, adorable

Overtly golden retriever, literally melts when she is being cute, checks every box on the list.

Choi Hyun Wook's character is the 2nd ML is so charming and low key obsessed with the 2nd FL lead. Checks every box on the golden retriever list.

Definitely a little quieter than the average golden retriever character but absolutely obsessed with the FL, emotions all over his face, very protective, and so adorable

Our first german shepherd entry. He is soo touch her and you die energy and is just so obsessed with her. 

Big golden retriever energy, just the way he looks at her is so adorable

The pinnacle of golden retriever energy. I don't think there is a single second of this series he doesn't have his emotions written all over his face. Those big puppy dog eyes just hurt my heart they're so cute. What I would do to have a Gwan Sik in my life. I LOVE HIM
