I recently watch the ongoing series named one ordinary day (played by 김수현)
I surprised that the main role is asthmatic

So i wondered, is there any korean drama with asthmatic male lead?

I haven't found any Kdramas with ML with asthma, but there are a bunch of Cdramas with ML or second ML, also thai. I know of a Korean movie with a second lead with asthma tho.

IIRC, Mimicus has an ML with asthma.

 FirsaFirkan:

I want to know

Time To Hunt (2020)  -  I think the asthma was pretty well portrayed, but, warning, it's definitely rated R.

Totally a good watch if you like action thrillers tho.

Here are a few  Cdramas with male leads with asthma:

Well intended love: s1 eps 2 &5, s2 eps 10,12, & 14

Embrace Love: eps 10, 11, & 17

Hello. Joann: eps 4,8,21, & 28

Back to 1989: eps 2, 3, 6, & 18

 FirsaFirkan:

I want to know

I forgot 2 of my favorites.

Truth - cdrama made sometime in the last 5 yrs. kinda police drama. I really enjoyed it.  Eps 16, 17, 28, also eps 15, 18, 22, 24

Your honor - this one is turkish (or Israeli, idk), and prob rated MA, but I really LOVED it. Eps 1,2,3, 4, & 7

 FirsaFirkan:

What about thai?

I'll include some Filipino and Indonesian too :)

War of Y (2022) - ep 7.  49 min in (I think it's on YT, you can tell its explicit bc i actually wrote the time😂) Thai, BL, rated MA

The Legendary outlaws - ep 1, 2, 4, & 6 (on YT account Mono29) Thai. I absolutely loved it, but there are no actual eng subs. Still pretty great if you love action/thriller

City of Stars (2020) - ep 1 (the first 3 eps are on YT) Thai, BL, rated MA, he's in like every ep, but he's not one of the 2 ML.

Rerun - ep 1,2,3, & 4 (YT account one31) Thai, not great subs if I remember correctly, not sure he's exactly a ML tho

Cinta Selegit Dodol (movie, also on YT) - Indonesia, I feel like the asthma is pretty well portrayed, but I could only find auto translate for Eng subs

deni murid bang jampang (movie, again YT) - Indonesian, Karate kid knock off. Pulled the whole "willpower cures asthma", also only auto translate for subs I think

Oh, Mando (2020) - ep 1 3/3, 3 1/3 (on YT) Filipino, BL, rated MA

Boys' Lockdown (2020) - ep 4 & 5 (web series on YT) Filipino, BL, can't remember if it was explicit or not.

Bonus: Dead Friend Forever (2024?) - basically just 2 small mentions of asthma, and the whole thing is either explicit sexually or in other ways. but it's a pretty good horror/supernatural, if you're into that. It's also BL

How about western movie or tv show?

How about western movie or tv show?


Teen Wolf S1 ep 1, S5 ep 3?, 5? - rated TV-14 bc of gore and sex scenes. You can find the exact episodes by searching for Whump Lists for it on Tumblr

The Guilty (2021) - rated R for language

I mentioned "Your Honor" (which is Turkish or Israeli) earlier, but there is also an American remake of that. I havent watched it, but I'm sure it's either tv14 or MA.

Criminal Justice (2008) - on BBC, British, again, haven't watched it, but the Korean remake had a good bit of well portrayed asthma scenes, so I expect this one does too. MA?

Kamen Rider Dragon Knight (2008) - ep 12, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19. Super cheesy, but the asthma was pretty well portrayed.

Silo (2021) - Maybe pg-13 for language. American thriller.

30 Days of Night - movie, on YT in parts. Pt. 1, 6, 7 of 11

Bir Ask Hikayesi - Turkish, second male lead, maybe MA? Ep 1, 2, 6,  kinda in ep 20

Çukur (2011) - Turkish, (On YT I think) I haven't watched it, but here's a playlist that has some of the whump scenes from the character you might need a VPN to view them all tho😅

 Can't Stop Loving You - Turkish? (On YT @CantStopLovingYou I think) I haven't watched it bc it's so long, but I heard there are multiple asthma scenes. The best one is in ep 67. 

Caer en Tentacion (2017) - Mexican, probably MA. I haven't gotten too far, but I know of ep 8?9?, 16, 92, & 96

Retreat - movie, Mexican, but there's Eng dub. Horror.

Shelter (2014) - movie, Spoiler: he's doesn't make it all the way through

Unknown Soldier (2004) - movie, maybe R, I can't find it anywhere, but, if you can, good for you!


Bonus:

Mi Marido Tiene Familia (2018) - Mexican, prob MA? I haven't watched it, but I know one of the antagonists has asthma

Outsiders (2001) - Australian (on YT) it's just a side character, but the asthma is portrayed well and the show is a cute, fun watch. 

Not sure anyone's gonna see this, but a Korean remake of "Your Honor" (Israeli "kvodo") is currently airing; and it is really good. The asthma is pretty well portrayed, and I have some high hopes for this.

The Korean title is 유어 아너
