Jealous and possessive ML

A list of dramas with a ML who is definitely jealous and possessive. Meaning that he shows in recurring episodes a jealous temperament (it's not just one or two scenes). I also give a nit of detail as to the degree of jealousy/possessiveness but I don't spoil. Hope you find what you're looking for!

In thai lakorns culture, almost all jealous ML rape the FL. So if you see Dangerous for a thai ML, you'll know what that means, unless specified otherwise,

    8.0

    Reasonable, Insecure. This guy feels deep jealousy and possessivity and tends to be (pretty unsucessfully) Controlling (having her watched by his staff). But for reasons I don't wanna spoil, I feel that he might be one of the most reasonable lakorn ML, all things considered.

    Thai Drama - 2008, 31 episodes

    Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes

    7.5

    Korean Drama - 2016, 24 episodes

    8.0

    LOL this ML has every type of jealousy, except the reasonable type! He's such a mess. But I think he's mostly desperate. Jealousy makes him drink, dance (!) and cry like a baby (I even think I saw some snot).

    Now this guy is everything on the list except for reasonable.

  • Coffee & Vanilla

    41. Coffee & Vanilla

    Japanese Drama - 2019, 10 episodes

    4.0

    Ugh.. I don't recommend this drama btw. He's not so much jealous as he is Controlling.

  • Mia Archeep

    42. Mia Archeep

    Thai Drama - 2020, 19 episodes

    8.0

    Super jealous from the get go. I guess he has trust issues, He's violent to the 2nd ML and super controlling towards the FL (I'll smash your phone so other guys can't call you),

  • Mia Taeng

    43. Mia Taeng

    Thai Drama - 2011, 14 episodes

  • Ngao Jai

    44. Ngao Jai

    Thai Drama - 2015, 15 episodes

    I started this drama a long time ago and still have'nt finished it. The ML is very jealous because he's mistaken about the FL. He is also quite controlling, always wants to know where she is and with whom. I like both leads, but I still wouldn't recommend it.

  • Protect the Boss

    45. Protect the Boss

    Korean Drama - 2011, 18 episodes

    He's SO jealous, haha and so childish/cute about it! Not very controlling though.

  • Sealed with a Kiss

    46. Sealed with a Kiss

    Chinese Drama - 2011, 28 episodes

    I didn't finish this and I don't recommend. Although if you're into jerks, very controlling and manipulative MLs, you might like it. I have a problem with the main actor because he always plays these kind of dominneering characters but in my eyes he lacks the charisma to completely pull it off.

  • Falling for Innocence

    47. Falling for Innocence

    Korean Drama - 2015, 16 episodes

    The ML is mostly cute in his jealousy. He has a bit of a controlling tendency too since he abuses his position as her boss a few times.

  • Lady & Liar

    48. Lady & Liar

    Chinese Drama - 2015, 46 episodes

    Same ML as in Sealed With a Kiss. This drama is much more palatable though. The ML here is very protective and cunning, manipulative. He is not a jealous person persay, but he recognizes the 2nd ML as a menace. For that reason he can be dangerous to people except the FL.

  • U-Prince:  The Handsome Cowboy

    49. U-Prince: The Handsome Cowboy

    Thai Drama - 2016, 8 episodes

    5.0

    An unfaithful jerk of a ML who also is controlling and jealous like a bull.

  • Ngao Hua Jai

    50. Ngao Hua Jai

    Thai Drama - 2010, 16 episodes

    Because he thinks she's a flirt, he's extremely jealous, desperately so at times.

  • Plerng Phrang Thian

    51. Plerng Phrang Thian

    Thai Drama - 2019, 12 episodes

    8.0

    Depending on who you think the ML is actually. Because one love interest is not jealous at all, he's very nice and gentle. The other though, is a jealous, possessive jerk. He's also the king of manipulation.

  • Roy Leh Sanae Rai

    52. Roy Leh Sanae Rai

    Thai Drama - 2015, 14 episodes

    8.0

    He has no right to be jealous really, yet he is, because he gets insecure about their relationship. He is also very controlling, he even kidnaps her from a misunderstanding about her relationship with her male friend.

  • Roy Leh Sanae Rai

    53. Roy Leh Sanae Rai

    Thai Drama - 2002, 18 episodes

  • Roy Lae Sanae Luang

    Thai Drama - 2017, 30 episodes

  • Sanaeha Sunya Kaen

    56. Sanaeha Sunya Kaen

    Thai Drama - 2014, 15 episodes

    Ahh usual lakorn ML. His jealousy flares up when he catches second ML acting humanely towards FL, then he'll grab her and say something mean. Usual slap/kiss stuff.

  • Kon La Kop Fah

    57. Kon La Kop Fah

    Thai Drama - 2016, 13 episodes

    9.0

    This one is SO jealous! And I liked how his jealousy was written, to really show that it's actually a character flaw and not something healthy in a marriage. He actually asks for professional help to deal with his impulsivity. Yet there are so many ML who are way worst than him, on this list.

    59. Ra Raerng Fai

    Thai Drama - 2017, 14 episodes

    8.5

    Jealousy or possessiveness are not really defining traits of this ML to be honest. There's the potential for a love triangle though, and to be honest, I just wanted to put Ken on that list.

  • Nabi, My Stepdarling

    60. Nabi, My Stepdarling

    Thai Drama - 2021, 22 episodes

    4.5

    I do NOT recommend that drama. It's extremely draggy and frustrating, and the plot holes are the size of an Ozone layer tear. That said, the ML is the very definition of protective, possessive, and jealous. He also suffers from jumping-to-conclusion-itis and a moderate case of obsession even though it's played off as him being protective.

  • Nakark Kaew

    61. Nakark Kaew

    Thai Drama - 2018, 23 episodes

    8.0

    This is a very jealous ML but also quite reasonable, since his girlfriend was not the most forthcoming person ever. He's extremely jealous of any man she looks at, and quick to violence towards potential rivals, but never towards the FL.

  • Nothing But You

    62. Nothing But You

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 24 episodes

    7.0

    He's cute, insecure and overbearing. Possessive and Very manipulative too, but not really controlling. The FL is not very smart, so he runs circles around her, trying to keep other men away from her, and she doesn't know it. One of my favorite displays of jealousy.

  • Mia Tuean

    63. Mia Tuean

    Thai Drama - 2014, 31 episodes

    This guy is a beast. He's extremely dangerous, especially to the FL. I pity the poor actress who had to be tossed and pushed every episode! Extremely possessive, controlling, jealous, violent, desperate.

  • My Fated Boy

    64. My Fated Boy
