Most men on earth don't belong to the toxic category. but they are definitely men, where the desire for opposite sex is a constant and consistent thing from the moment they hit puberty to the moment to die.
There are no ifs and buts in that.
Whatever they are showing in Kdrama romance genre, they are definitely not men. Men don't behave that way, think that way or interact that way with girls. Some men do & they are all gay.

May be consistency where both ML and FL dated, not just the ML who is repeatedly shown as a virgin in most kdramas
May be variety, where you get different kinds of ML and FL, instead of a pure virgin ML in most Kdramas.
Worst thing about Kdrama romances in last 4-5 years is that I see ML and there is nothing 'man' about the ML. If you want to make a character that complete opposite of a man, then you get Kdrama romance ML's.
Guys, do me a favor and let me know when our yet another pure virgin ML loses his precious virginity. The boy is nearly 35 and never polished his pecker. That is the only interesting thing about this crapfest,
if you want to laugh until your stomach hurts this is it for you.... story and the powers are just there lol...don't…
Agree about Choi Dae Hoon, by middle it felt like he was the ML.
I was interested in his family life, how his wife and daughter treated him & the eventual arc where he gains their respect. He was a loser in the eyes of his family, who was aware of where he stood & I was rooting for him the whole drama.
There was something off about how FL was portrayed. No, there is no issue with the actress but the way FL was built. She felt out of place the whole drama. ML for some strange reason did not have the screen presence. He was on screen but was not present.
It was hard to buy the whole, 'the Korean govt is very stupid for not realizing people with superpowers were running around Korea for years'
The whole drama was carried on backs on the 2 male friends of the FL. Both of them were wonderfully characterized. They were hilarious, genuine, emotional and basically heart & soul of the drama.
You’re judging him like he’s supposed to think logically, but he’s literally a teenager who just watched…
That is never the emotion you show when you are saving your friends.
the drama was so good, a top-notch drama. but then the kdrama obsession to turn every ML into one who would go over the top for the FL kills some dramas. That might work in romance genre but romance should have been a sub-genre in this drama.
That particular scene where the ML is running laughing in elation, just few hours after his moms death feels very out of place.
You’re judging him like he’s supposed to think logically, but he’s literally a teenager who just watched…
I am not comparing this drama to train to busan. I am stating why Train to Busan left such a memorable impression is how the ML nails the role of a desperate father in that movie.
This one has a teenage boy. This is not an adult man who has found love outside of his mother, i'e, a sister, a wife or a daughter. For every teenage boy, his mother is his greatest love. There are no if's and buts.
There literally is no universe, no scenario, no apocalypse where a teenage boy would be running off jumping in joy just a few days after his mothers death.
There is this obsession in Kdrama where they want to make ML simping for the FL. The simping may make sense in romance genre but here it just felt very out of place.
You look at a boy who just lost his mother, jumping and running in joy to his death, cause he got a kiss from a girl is beyond stupid story telling.
The 35 year old pure virgin ML is now hooked on to FL & seems to have gotten first erection of his life.
With ML in Kdramas being pure pure pure virgins with zero knowledge about the birds and the bees, it makes sense to always make the FL who has experience in these matters and guide the pure pure pure ML in matters of birds and bees.
You’re judging him like he’s supposed to think logically, but he’s literally a teenager who just watched…
Rest of the episodes did not take place weeks, months or years after ML's death. They happened hours and days after his mother's death.
If what was showed in drama happened, let's say a few months after his moms death, it would make sense.
That's not what happened though.
ML can be in pain over his moms death & deal with it logically. By dealing with the zombies seriously. Think of Train of Busan, why it is one of the best in it's genre is the way ML transforms through the journey. At the end him doing what he did for his kid makes perfect logical and biological sense. THAT's what a father would do 100/100 times.
Similarly, a young man losing his mother 100/100 times is not remotely thinking of girls a day after the death or jump in joy over a kiss.
And yes, the FL was madly in love with other guy. She pretty much says no with her actions and words.

In fact, I would say the ML is very ancient virgin in that drama as well.
Thank you for your cooperation on this matter.

That is the only interesting thing about this crapfest,
can you name the last Kdrama where the FL is a virgin and the ML was not?
Almost every Kdrama now a days has a pure virgin ML and a FL who shagged other men.
It's pathetic really. Imagine making dramas after dramas where the ML is always a pure virgin who never ever even had a crush on another woman,

For some of the character and continuity faults, the ML and 2ML carried the show.
There is a place to be sweet and simp for the FL.
but this was...yuck.
i can assure you, no one in the world would be running in joy after a kiss from a girl, just after their mothers death.
THAT is the last reaction anyone would have.

Ep1 pretty much delivers whats promised.
He is not like the FL who we are shown to have been with other men when it comes to love and sex.
Are we watching the same Kdrama romances dramas?
The only one having sex is the FL.
ML is pure pure virgin who only interacts with old women.

There are no love triangles in Kdrama romances.
there is only HAREM for FL in Kdramas.
