Before he went to the military, Lee Jong Suk played the role of Cha Eun Ho in the romantic series "Romance Is A Bonus Book." He's a proficient writer and the youngest chief editor in the publishing company he works at. He spent most of his life being secretly in love with his best friend Kang Dan Ih (Lee Na Young). 

But in his comeback, legal-thriller drama "Big Mouth," Lee Jong Suk proves his versatility who can get into character in a snap.

Kim Seon Ho is none other than the guy who gave us serious "second lead syndrome" for his role as Han Ji Pyeong in the drama "Start-Up." In his character, is a cold, seemingly heartless man for being brutally honest any time of the day. In the end, the people around him understood that his straightforwardness means well. 

But let's admit, he's hotter when he was frank and forthright!

Im Siwan

Idol-turned-actor Im Siwan became an exemplar of "green flag" men with his character as Ki Seon Gyeom in "Run On" (2020). He is a former track and field athlete who, despite being a bit awkward, is caring and sincere to people around him. We really can't blame Oh Mi Joo (Shin Se Kyung) for falling in love with him.

In 2022, he made a complete transformation for his new character as a former accountant turned National Tax Service's head, who is handsome but sharp-tongued.

Kim Soo Hyun played the role of Moon Gang Tae in 2020 hit drama "It's Okay to Not Be Okay." With this romance-mystery drama, he immersed in the character who's kind and caring, especially to his autistic older brother.

In 2021, he starred with Cha Seung Won in the crime thriller "One Ordinary Day." He played as a normal university student whose life turned upside down overnight after he wakes up being the suspect of a murder case.

Idol-actor Cha Eun Woo swept us off our feet with his role as Lee Su Ho in the romantic-comedy-drama "True Beauty." He is the quintessential cold and handsome guy who we can't help but fall in love with. And his inhospitable image doesn't make him a "good boy" at all!

But in 2022, Cha Eun Woo is confirmed to portray the role of a priest in the imminent myster drama "Island"!

In his 2022 drama "The Sound of Magic" with Ji Chang Wook, Hwang In Yeop starred as the four-eyed student who's at the top of his class. A typical "good boy," he befriends a classmate and they explore magic at an abandoned amusement park together.

But this "good boy" image of him doesn't top his previous "bad boy" characters like Han Seo Jun ("True Beauty") and Goo Ja Sung ("18 Again")!
