9 romantic K-dramas where the male lead fell in love first—and fell the hardest
Han Beom-woo from 'Tastefully Yours' Above Han Beom-woo (Kang Ha-neul) has mastered the art of yearning in the romantic comedy K-drama 'Tastefully Yours'. (Photo: screencap from 'Tastefully Yours', Netflix) He may be all business and have questionable motives in the beginning, but it doesn't take long for Han Beom-woo (Kang Ha-neul) to fall for Mo Yeon-joo (Go Min-si) in Tastefully Yours . In keeping with the enemies-to-romance trope, their playful bickering soon gives way to something more. The stolen glances, the lingering looks and an unexpected kiss reveal that, despite his efforts to stay detached, their incessant teasing has blossomed into a full-blown romance. Don't miss: All the reasons why you need to watch the latest K-drama 'Tastefully Yours' Gu Won from 'King the Land' Above Gu Won (Lee Jun-ho) can't help falling in love with Cheon Sa-rang (Yoona). (Photo: JTBC) The first encounter between Gu Won (Lee Jun-ho), heir to the King Group, and Cheon Sa-rang (Yoona), the ever-smiling star employee of King Hotel, is anything but romantic. In fact, it barely qualifies as cordial. He has a deep aversion to fake smiles, while she's made a career out of perfecting hers. But in true romantic K-drama fashion, her warmth and sincerity gradually chip away at his frosty exterior. Sa-rang doesn't just get under his skin—she becomes his sole reason for smiling. Kang Tae-moo from 'Business Proposal' Above In the K-drama 'Business Proposal', a fake blind date leads to romance. (Photo: SBS) When Shin Ha-ri (Kim Se-jeong) agrees to pose as her friend on a blind date, her only goal is to scare off a suitor. What she doesn't expect is to find herself face-to-face with her company's CEO, Kang Tae-moo (Ahn Hyo-seop). Even more shocking? He proposes marriage. It's all part of a ploy to get his matchmaking grandfather off his back—but as their ruse unfolds, it's Tae-moo who falls first, and hardest, for the intriguing, unpredictable woman who crashes into his carefully ordered world in the romantic K-drama sleeper hit Business Proposal .

Though his love initially seemed unrequited, even met with disdain, his quiet devotion, steady presence and unwavering love ultimately soften Ae-sun's resolve and win her heart.

(Photo: MBC) Paik Sae-on (Yoo Yeon-seok) may appear cold and unfeeling—especially to his wife, Chae Soo-bin (Hong Hee-joo)—but viewers soon discover there's far more beneath his icy exterior. Not only did he orchestrate their arranged marriage to save her from an unfortunate fate, but he's also been in love with her since childhood. A touching flashback reveals that he fell first, and hard, carrying a silent, unwavering affection for years. His love may have been hidden behind a stoic mask, but it was always steadfast and deeply sincere.

(Photo: tvN) Jung Hyi-yun (Park Hyung-sik) has been quietly carrying a torch for Yoon Sae-beom (Han Hyo-joo) since high school. Failing to return his affections, Hyi-yun is content just to be in her life, even if it's as a friend. When she proposes an arranged marriage as a means to secure an apartment, he agrees without hesitation. It's only when their lives are upended by a zombie outbreak that Sae-beom begins to truly understand the depth of his feelings—and just how much he means to her, too. Han Sun-woo from 'Soundtrack #1' Above Yoon Sae-beom (Han Hyo-joo) makes his way out of the friend zone. (Photo: IMDb) Yoon Sae-beom (Han Hyo-joo) may see Jung Hyi-yun (Park Hyung-sik) as just a friend, but he's been in love with her since their high school days. Afraid of making things awkward and losing her altogether, he chooses to keep his feelings to himself. Later, audiences learn that although he fell first—and fell harder—she, too, had developed feelings beyond friendship. Missed opportunities and unspoken words kept them apart, making their slow-burning romantic K-drama all the more bittersweet. Lee Su-ho from 'True Beauty' Above Lee Su-ho (Cha Eun-woo) loved Im Ju-gyeong (Moon Ga-young) pre glow-up. (Photo: tvN) After being bullied relentlessly for her looks, Im Ju-gyeong (Moon Ga-young) reinvents herself with the help of makeup and becomes the top beauty at her new school. When she runs into school heartthrob Lee Su-ho (Cha Eun-woo) sans makeup, she's afraid he'll expose who she really is. What she doesn't expect is that he'd fall for the real her. But a quick flashback to their past shows how Su-ho was intrigued by and drawn to her way before her glow-up, connected by a shared love for manga and a deep understanding of loneliness.

Go Min Si's school bullying controversy explained: Is her new Netflix K-drama being axed?
Actor Go Min Si is currently facing backlash after an anonymous post accused her of being a bully back in middle school. The post, titled 'We are the victims of actor A's school violence,' popped up on South Korea's online community, claiming the actor not only extorted money from her classmates but also verbally abused them, and hounded the differently abled. The actor, who is currently starring in Netflix's Tastefully Yours, alongside Kang Ha Neul, responded fiercely to the allegations, slamming them as false and baseless. However, the author of the post claimed that even the teachers and fellow classmates are aware of those incidents. The post further demanded that the actor step away from the spotlight. This comes ahead of Go Min Si's next big project, Perfect Job. Also read: Tastefully Yours first impression: Weirdly addictive duo Go Min Si, Kang Ha Neul cook up quirky kitchen romance in Netflix's new-age Business Proposal This is not the first time a Korean celeb at the peak of their career has faced school bullying accusations. Along with actors such as Seo Ye Ji to Kim Hieora, multiple K-pop stars have been accused of bullying, the most recent being Go Min Si, whose global popularity was soaring with big Netflix hits. The post's author claimed they were a middle school classmate from Daejeon and, without mentioning the actor's stage name, identified her using her old name along with other clues like age and past shows. 'I don't want any apology or compensation,' the author wrote, adding that Go's aggressive behaviour was well known to teachers as well. 'What I want is for this actor to end her public activities permanently so no further victims are created,' the post read, as translated by The Korea Times. The post further added, 'There's no need for a belated, performative apology to avoid contract disputes. If the actor truly feels remorse, she should step away from the spotlight and live the rest of her life sincerely regretting her past actions.' Also read: Dear Hongrang star Lee Jae Wook reveals his 'jealous personality,' says Park Ji Hoon's Weak Hero made him envious: 'It could become poison' Go Min Si's agency, Mystic Story, released a statement claiming there was no truth in the post and dismissed it as a smear campaign against the actor. 'We ask that people refrain from spreading unverified rumours and speculative reports, as they can cause significant harm not only to the actor but also to her family,' the agency said. They further revealed they are seeking legal action on both civil and criminal grounds. 'We express our deep concern and regret that malicious posts based on false information are damaging the reputation of our agency's actor. We appointed a legal representative today and have begun reviewing and taking legal action, both civil and criminal.' Go Min Si debuted in 2017 with the SBS drama My Sassy Girl and has since become a household name with shows like Sweet Home, The Frog, The Witch and Smugglers. This is not the first time the actor has been embroiled in a controversy. Back in March 2021, photos showed her entering an adult entertainment venue and drinking when she was still underage. At the time, she dismissed the rumours as a simple youthful mistake and apologised. In light of the new controversy, Netflix reportedly informed the South Korean media outlet OSEN that Go Min Si is continuing with her upcoming project Perfect Job as planned, with no changes to her filming schedule.

10 K-drama tropes that never fail to win hearts
2. The makeover equals self-worth upgrade Frumpy becomes fabulous in one montage. This trope suggests that the path to success (and sometimes love) begins with a haircut and better foundation. Unfair? Yes. Effective TV? Also yes. Watch it here: True Beauty (2020), She Was Pretty (2015), My ID is Gangnam Beauty (2018). In all these shows, beauty becomes a plot device, and personal growth sometimes takes a backseat to BB cream. See more: 7 inspiring makeovers in K-dramas 3. Enemies to lovers (with bonus slapstick) They bicker. They glare. They share an elevator ride that ends in romantic tension and spilt coffee. This is one of those slow-burn K-drama tropes that thrive on delicious friction, sarcastic banter and unresolved sexual tension disguised as disdain. Watch it here: What's Wrong With Secretary Kim? (2018), My Lovely Sam Soon (2005), Business Proposal (2022), I Am Not a Robot (2017). We love it when insults turn into I love yous. Don't miss: K-drama love language: How characters say 'I love you' without ever saying it 4. The wrist grab (because communication is overrated) Why talk when you can yank someone by the wrist like a human yo-yo? This trope usually signals a pivotal moment of drama, a declaration of 'Don't go!' or just plain emotional constipation. Watch it here: Boys Over Flowers (2009), Playful Kiss (2010), The Heirs (2013) and Temptation of Wife (2008) all demonstrated this classic move. The wrist grab has practically earned its own genre. 5. Amnesia (plot twist in a coma) Fact: Amnesia may be included on this list of K-drama tropes, but it's a universal soap opera standby. Forget your past, your lover, your identity—just not your skincare routine. This soap-operatic gem resets relationships with the emotional finesse of a wrecking ball. Watch it here: Winter Sonata (2002), Save Me (2017), Stairway to Heaven (2003), Lie to Me (2011), Queen of Tears (2024) all displayed bouts of amnesia, proving that memory loss may be inconvenient, but it makes for an easy plot. 6. Only one bed Classic setup: two leads are forced to share a room and—gasp!—there's only one bed. Cue awkward glances, back-to-back sleeping arrangements and a blanket line down the middle like a DMZ of sexual tension. Watch it here: Because This Is My First Life (2017), Fated to Love You (2014), Oh My Venus (2015) and Full House (2004) demonstrate that one bed is more than enough for simmering sexual tension. 7. Rich guy, poor girl plot He's a cold chaebol with issues. She's scrappy and adorable and lives in a tiny rooftop room. The bank accounts are unbalanced, but the chemistry is perfectly calibrated. Watch it here: Secret Garden (2010), Boys Over Flowers (2009), Business Proposal (2022), It's Okay to Not Be Okay (2020), Queen of Tears (2024), The Heirs (2013) and My Fair Lady (2009) are only some of many K-dramas where wealth, entitlement and dramatic declarations collide. 8. Second lead syndrome He's kind. He's loyal. He's not the main lead, which means he's destined to cry in the rain while holding a ring he'll never get to use. Second leads are the patron saints of K-drama heartbreak. This is perhaps one of the most beloved of all K-drama tropes. Watch it here: Start-Up (2020), Reply 1988 (2015), Scarlet Heart Ryeo (2016) and Love Alarm (2019) all portray second leads who are too pure for this cruel K-drama world. See more: 7 memorable second leads that K-drama fans can't get enough of 9. Found families When friends, coworkers, neighbours or fellow inmates turn into your family, it's not just wholesome—it's therapeutic. This trope delivers laughs, tears and group meals that heal childhood wounds. Watch it here: Crash Landing on You (2019), Prison Playbook (2017), Racket Boys (2021), Hospital Playlist (2020) and Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo (2016) perfectly show circumstances when your squad is your real safety net. Also read: 11 heart-warming found families in K-dramas (THIS IS NOT PUBLISHED YET) 10. Terminal illness, beautifully lit No trope has broken more hearts (or tissue budgets). Usually involving one lead getting sick just as the relationship hits peak fluff, this trope is the ultimate emotional rug-pull. Watch it here: Uncontrollably Fond (2016), I'm Sorry, I Love You (2004), Just Between Lovers (2017), The Smile Has Left Your Eyes (2018). In these shows, the tears are inevitable, but at least they're cinematic.
