Oppas on Horses: Who Did it Better, Song Joong Ki or Lee Min Ho?
K-dramas wouldn't be complete without the dashing, swoon-worthy scenes of the male protagonists. You know, moments that you'll surely want to play on repeat - like Song Joong Ki from "Vincenzo" and Lee Min Ho from "The King: Eternal Monarch" riding a white horse, as if they are straight out of a fairy tale.
These two prominent Korean actors pulled the same stunt in their respective dramas, sweeping us off our feet. And in case you missed their prince-like moments, allow us to show you!
Song Joong Ki as Vincenzo Cassano Exudes Overflowing Charisma
In "Vincenzo" Episode 8, viewers were definitely smitten by the actor when he showed up riding on his white horse.
Song Joong Ki plays the character of Vincenzo Cassano, a mafia lawyer. His job entails saving his clients and punish the evil. But since he and lawyer Hong Cha Young (Jeon Yeo Bin) are working together, his fate also turned upside down, and his real purpose of returning to Korea has since been altered.

For their latest mission, they planned to earn the attention of the young president of Shinkwang's Bank, Hwang Min Seong (Kim Sung Cheol). The Jipuragi Law Firm squad aimed to prevent the president from signing the investment contract with the Babel Group.
The team began their plan by following Hwang Min Seong in the horse riding arena where he frequents.
The next thing that we knew, our spell-binding hero was riding on a white horse, showing off his visuals and oozing charisma. For real, though, the slo-mo effect plus the OST "Adrenaline" as the background music during his entrance instantaneously had us mesmerized.
"Vincenzo" Episode 8 amassed praises from viewers and the internet community because of this.
While this was not about saving a princess in distress, Vincenzo cooperated with the Jipuragi team and followed the command of Hong Cha Young to obstruct the contract signing and eventually restore his mother's honor.

Who wouldn't forget Lee Min Ho's iconic scenes while riding his horse Maximus in "The King: Eternal Monarch"? With his perfect figure and King-worthy ensembles, the 33-year-old actor immediately captivated the audiences.
He played the character of Lee Gon in the fantasy-romance drama. Lee Min Ho served the viewers with countless moments riding his horse, whether it was for war or rescuing his queen. And indeed, nobody else but him was the perfect knight in shining armor for Kim Go Eun, who played the role of a detective Jung Tae Eul.
Both the actors, since they perfectly immersed themselves in the character and scene atmosphere, were able to prove their dedication and passion at work. They succeeded in making their respective prince-like scenes worth-watching.
