The Greenest Male Leads in K dramaland...
My top 5 male leads in Korean drama who I think is the epitome of the word "Green Flag".
P.S. Please list others if you got more....

1. Lovely Runner
Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
Sun Jae is not only just the greenest flag but the whole vast forest.
That whole rain scene, when Sun Jae first saw Sol running towards him was my most favorite scenes of 'falling at first sight'. The way he just stares at her while getting rained on and that ost... One of the perfect scenes I have ever come across of love on onscreen.
His unrequited love for Sol for 15 years without wavering was the nail in my heart and even though he saw her with someone else, his love didn't waver, didn't get mean towards her or chastise her for it. He just kept his steady soft gaze on her, protected her from the villain (multiple times) and just walked behind her until she was read to accept him into her heart!! *swoon*.
Who else can even come close to this... I want the happiest ending for Sun Jae. He is the bestest boi to ever grace in kdrama land.

2. When the Camellia Blooms
Korean Drama - 2019, 40 episodes
When I see Hwang Yong Shik, I look into the sky and yell "GOD, when is it my turn?"!!
My man, Yong shik was the greenest mostest bestest kindest badass Men to ever grace on a kdrama. I mean, till then we saw all the variety of jerks and idiots who thought being rude, mean and ignoring the female lead made them cool and the girl to fall for them. But then Yong Shik came along and changed the game upside down. He didn't care about his love's past life, whether she is a single mother, whether she is older than him or what society would say...
...all he did was being focused on being the best man with a giant heart, kindest eyes and adorable smile. How can Ms. Dong Baek not fall for him. I fell for him hard and fast and I am sure countless others did too.

3. Prison Playbook
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
Lee Joon Ho... the best friend that we all should need in our life and also the best boyfriend that we all must have in our life.
My favorite scene in this whole drama is when Joon Ho finds about Jee Hee's lawsuit against her from some customer and she just hides from him and continue to just pretend that everything is ok. When he confronts her with it, it was one of the greenest flag that was ever raised. How he doesn't get mad at her for not telling him, rather just sweetly ask her why she didn't and that it would be so much better if she would share her worries with him.
That scene... melted my heart. With just that single scene he climbed to my top list of greenest flag in drama land.

5. True Beauty
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
Who doesn't want to be loved when they are their worst and feeling ugliest.
In Suho, Jun Young found that man. He didn't care how she looked, how she talked or where she came from. My boi knew that the inside matters than the outside appearance. How can any one not fall for this human green frog!
