Drama with kind and mature ML

sarrymast

I'm looking for dramas with male leads that are kind, considerate and not socially awkward. They also should be rather mature and not naive or hot headed. Additionally, the show should  have romance and a happy ending. Some shows that go in the right direction are:

  • Encounter
  • One Spring Night
  • Descendants of the Sun
  • Familiar Wife
  • Marry Me, or Not?
  • Something in the Rain
  • My Mister (although not really romance)

It would be a plus if the show isn't too old since I'm rather picky about graphics ^^" 

Thanks in advance!

Thanks! I've seen Crash Landing on You, Fight for My Way and Gangnam Beauty. They are definitely the kind I'm looking for, I'll have a look at Live and Itaewon Class. Argon doesn't have a romance tag,  does it have a romantic subplot?

Maybe Faith or I Need Romance 3. But neither has particularly great production, and Faith has some super cheesy special effects.

I will check them out, thanks! Though I usually stay clear of historical fantasy because more often than not the CGI effects make me cringe lol

Unfortunately I dropped Search:WWW, I liked the ML, the FL on the other hand... not so much^^" Thanks though!

Dating in the Kitchen!  I loved that show!!  My two cents worth - I agree about the ML in Strongest Deliveryman, but I didn't like the FL and I felt the writing was, at times, weak.  I didn't care for Search WWW, Fight for My Way or Itaewon Class.  Lost Romance is next on my list to watch!

Thanks! I will note down Dating in the Kitchen. Regarding SD, I have to agree, the story was rather weak, though I liked the characters. I didn't mind the FL too much actually.

Most times I can tolerate an irritating FL  (the exception being overly dumb or naive ones), while an irritating ML is more often than not a deal breaker. Unfortunately for me, cold and emotionally crippled MLs seem to be the gold standard for most productions nowadays and I just don't like them. :/

It seems like they are having a lot of the ML's be somewhere on the autism spectrum - no eye contact, no ability to read social cues, exceptionally smart, some OCD behaviors, etc.  I'm the opposite of you, I'm more willing to put up with ML's foibles, but I don't like bitchy/witchy/mean (and to your point overly dumb and naive) FLs.
