Three Things That Boyfriends Can Learn From Watching K-Dramas

There are a few advantages to asking a boyfriend to watch k-dramas with you. First, he might discover some dramas he enjoys watching. But even more importantly, he may learn what makes k-drama men so attractive to women.

Here are a few characteristics of k-drama first and second leads that boyfriends might just see and want to emulate.

1. The best k-drama boyfriends are considerate. Women do fall for men that look out for them. He doesn't have to rescue you from a speeding truck or stop your car from heading off a cliff as Kim Soo Hyun did for Jun Ji Hyun in "You Who Came From The Stars." But it is nice when boyfriends notice things about you. He could offer you his coat when you are cold, as Kim Woo Bin did for Park Shin Hye in "The Heirs." Or he could hear your stomach grumble and grill you some meat as Lee Pil Mo did for Song Ji Hyo in a recent episode of "Emergency Couple."

2. The best k-drama boyfriend finds ways to show that he thinks about you. Presents don't need to be that magical necklace, which almost every k-drama lead seems to buy for his girl. A present can be as inexpensive as the stuffed animal set Seo In Guk bought for Gong Hyo Jin in "The Master's Sun." Or it could be practical like the milk cartons with cute stickie notes Kim Ji Hoon left outside Park Shin Hye's apartment door in "Flower Boys Next Door." It really is the thought that counts. And he doesn't have to read minds like Lee Jong Suk did in "I Hear Your Voice" to know what you like. He just has to listen.

3. The ideal k-drama boyfriend is sure and proud of his feelings for his girl. He won't necessarily have to use a sword as Sung Joon did to defend Suzy in "Gu Family Book" or sacrifice his life as Kim Bum did for Moon Geun Young in "Goddess of Fire: Jeonji." But he should at least stand up to his parents for you as Lee Min Ho did in "The Heirs" or defy his aunt's expectations as So Ji Sub did for Gong Hyo Jin in "The Master's Sun."

So basically the ideal boyfriend should be considerate, think about you often and be so sure of his feelings that he would stand up for you, even if others don't approve. Not all that unrealistic but k-drama male leads have it down to an art form.
