Of cours their are a few exceptions but usually and the ones I tried watching recently, are quite one dimensional and honestly speaking, bland. They're nice and that's it. The Male leads from Start up and Brahams for example. It's no wurprise that in the Start up the 2nd ML is more popular. For me they're not very entertaining or thrilling to watch, which is why I prefer and miss traumatised ML, Jerks who turn soft for their girl or ML who are a mix of the two. No one is perfect 24/7 or constantly happ and I say that as a positive, warm and mostly bright girl. But maybe that's exactly why I don't like them, it's seeing myself and I watch Kdrama for spicy drama and not some snooze concerts. The recent Melodramas really took the drama about of K-drama. Miss shows like Innocent Men or Secret.

Thank you, I'll definitely check it out, all the answers were quite convincing.

Usually not really fond of warm MLs, since they're just nice (sometimes bland) and not very complex but the description does make him sound interesting and unpredictable. Imma check it out and hope it will end the ML dryness I'm going through. Thank you.

Sadly a lot are bland, they barley develop and are warm from the beginning to the end. Idk I'm more into cold or flawer ML who change and become sweet. It feels more real than being nice 24/7 and never getting angry :/

the thing is i'm not very very fond of warm, uninteresting ML :(

I see your point but I think they could've still shown him as 'cold'for the first few eps then in let's say ep 5, show him smiling at her. That would've delivered the original feeling. 24 eps is a lot of time, had they reduced some scenes it would've been less fast paced.

I've been shipping Yiyung/Gaeul in Ximen/Xiaoyou in every damn version too bad they're following the manga in this version. So no Kavin/Kaning .

I can't do this.

It's not about being a little sweeter, part of the original ML's charm was slowly seeing the cold asshole turn soft for his girl and realising he has to change. If that's taken away the story falls flat.

Well characters like him are sadly dying out, for me they were more interesting and charming to explore in fiction (not real life) compared to the sunny ML's nowadays, since we actually saw them change and develop.

Is the ML interesting and less affectionate/warm?

Probably have issues but I miss ML like this. He was a D. but a charming D.

Hm yeah but he still could've been 'colder' for the first few eps, then slowly develop a softer side as he was supposed to. 24 eps are a lot and more than the c drama had (albeit with less time) but that's just my opinion.

him being soft from the beginning makes this kinda boring but maybe it's just me havign issues LMAO

Imma be honest the ML is too affectionate for me. He was supposed to be a D and that was his charm when he suddenly became all soft for her and realised he needs to change. I prefer the original.

Sighs let's face it there won't be a 2nd Season andthe writer really did us dirty by expecting it to be renewed and ending it like that

I know, I watched both :)

The screenwriter isn't into romance

Then i'm hyped, hope it will be translated.

oh yes, j-drama too it's what i like about them. slow and beautiful unlike american or most bl thai dramas

Urgh that's exatly what I meant like why do ppl care about them doing the deed. I never look at a straight couple and think ahhh can't wait for them to do it. It's also the reason I prefer Kdrama bc it takes 14 ep for them to hold hands lol

Hm true but Japanese anime companies do love fanservice which I find weird either go for or don't. Idk why fans buy this that's half-assing and if there's a female character, love interest she gets either shitted on by fans bc how dare she comes btw otp or even turned into a relative for the fanservice sake . It's just ... I honestly wonder why most het girls are so into gay couples or ships. Is it really bc most love to see hot Boys kiss? Having some is fine, since it's all about equality but basing your whole personality on that is .... scary or it being fanservice. You'd think they'd relate to female characters more or project onto them since they get the hot guy and at least treat BL the same way (by the same standards) they treat het drama. Sry, I've just done a lot of thinking.
