Favourite male characters
This is not a list of my favourite romance dramas (although my top 3 are on this list), but a list of the male characters that I fell in love with the most! So, I really mean the character - the actor doesn't have to be my favourite or the one I think is the hottest, and the romance doesn't have to be the best ever, but the character made me all starry-eyed and in love. I think it's really a tie between the top 3!

4. On the Way to the Airport
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
My #1 favourite romance drama of all time.

![Unkind Women]()
5. Unkind Women
Korean Drama - 2015, 24 episodes
Doesn't everybody want a man like Lee Munhak? Old enough to know what he wants and go for it. Smart and educated, but easygoing and occasionally goofy. Warm, kind, caring and respectful. He may not be the sexiest person on the planet, but he would look at you like *you* are! My #4 favourite romance of all time, although it is a small part of the drama.

6. Winter Begonia
Chinese Drama - 2020, 49 episodes
Cheng Fengtai is everything: smart, kind, caring, funny, strong, respectful, handsome, sexy, gorgeous, hot and irresistible! It may not have been my favourite drama (but really good in many ways) but this beautiful man made me swoon in almost every episode with his warm smile.

![Go Ahead]()
7. Go Ahead
Chinese Drama - 2020, 46 episodes
The kind single dad Li Haichao is one of the sweetest I ever saw. I want to eat his noodle dishes and make his family grow! *lol*

![The Legend of Shen Li]()
8. The Legend of Shen Li
Chinese Drama - 2024, 39 episodes
It's been too long since I updated this list. I'm doing it for Divine Lord Xingzhi. He is aloof, calm and elegant - but also warm, kind, mischievous... lonely, bored, passionate, protective, smart, powerful and a great cook! Oh, and he's a good kisser and has amazing chemistry with Shen Li! What's not to like? I'm not saying I'm overwhelmingly in love, but I definitely like this character a lot and he deserves a spot on this list.

Same as the above... quite literally! :p (ETA ten years later: no, it's not literally the same. His handsomness, yes, but it's a completely different character and the dramas are not related!)
