Looking for a drama with a lead that has blown your mind

Male or female lead of any drama, but whose personality has blown your mind/had an impact on you/made you obsessed over them.

I would like to watch a drama with a character that has interesting personality traits or interesting background story, etc. A not previously seen kind of character.

Thank you so much in advance! Have a nice day :)

• Nirvana in Fire - Mei Changsu /Lin Shu just is beyond awesome in portrayal and characterization..
• Cruel City/Heartless City -  Doctor's Son/Paksa Adeul
• Kenja No ai - Mayuko in her very path to dig deep, dirty and mesmerizing revenge

Prince of Lan Ling: The second ML is quite a character, compared to the ML

I'm curious as to why there are so many k-drama recs on a c-drama forum. 

I can't think of a c-drama where I was totally blown away (granted, I've watched primarily contemporary rom-coms), but in Love is Sweet I really liked the FL, ML, and SML. I rarely ever have SML syndrome but he kind of did it for me. I just pretend that the last  6 episodes didn't really happen. 

I’ve fallen in love with a few MLs over the last couple years, and while their personalities aren’t crazily different than those in other dramas, something about the way the actors deliver the lines, the looks, and the emotions…  just ticks all my boxes. 

Youth - The ML in this drama is my favourite of all time. There’s something about him just just makes my mind go back to his scenes, ponder his character, and re-watch episodes. The actor (Simon Lian, who also played the SML in Lost Romance) is so good at facial expressions that are believable and not over-done. Although he’s a cliché ML that starts out as a cold bad boy he never really turns into that soft puppy ML like some do. He always has an edge, but even with the edge you can tell early on that he’s also inherently good. He stays true to his character from start to finish  (which can be rare in C-dramas), but also has exponential character growth. 

The Romance Of Tiger and Rose - the ML (Ding Yu Xi) is a recurring favourite of mine because of the depth he can give a ML. 

Moonlight - Also a Ding Yu Xi drama, the ML gave me all the feels while I laughed at his antics and hilarious jealousy. He was a fantastic mix of cold, warm, immature, and wise beyond his years. It makes for some interesting banter with him and the SML.

The Rational Life - the ML is meh. The FL is a whip-smart lawyer but also with enough flaws to make her believable. She’s a unique combination of cold intelligence while at work and cute hobbies and interactions while with family and friends. Aggressively confident but also quite vulnerable too.
