▸ crying men
inspired by Sherry's 'Gap moe: Crying men' list !!!
for the gap moe of (usually) strong, competent male leads who doesn't restrain from revealing their vulnerable emotions. (maybe it isn't *just* crying but male leads having emotional breakdowns count too) - must be accompanied with hurt/comfort feelings.
I should have started this earlier because I don't remember 100% of the male leads I've seen who may apply to this anymore.

Siwa crying to beg Palai to sympathise for him and the damage she has brought to his family. And crying over his dad in general.
Amazing! Having a male lead who begs the fem lead for something which isn't about their romance was a great bonus. :)
