Soldiers/Ex-Military
This is for the more believable portrayals of badass men in uniform, or at least they have the soldiers at their back to make them seem more believable, lol.

Worked his butt off to portray this character believably--and it shows. For me, it was the best part of the drama.

Mostly it was when he was with his men that really made me believe his character as a soldier.

Ah Big Boss. I never thought Song Joong Ki would be able to pull this off, but he did. I'm happy to eat my words.

I don't remember specifically if the male lead character was ex-military, but he certainly had the vibe.

A badass general. I loved how they portrayed him with his men in episode one. You could tell they had such reverence and love for him.
