Drama Boyfriends
Yesterday, I made a deal with the devil dangermousie (along with several others). If I agreed to watch Something Happened in Bali she would watch any drama of my choosing. I hemmed and hawed and eventually jumped in despite the staggering number of dramas I already want to watch and my instinctive nature to stay away from dramas that I know are going to stab me in the gut. But it was too good an opportunity to ignore, because now I can make her watch Vineyard Man which, for all its flaws, I adore a ridiculous amount. The story is hackneyed and the production values are non-existant, but that just makes me love it MORE. I don't think I've ever inhaled a drama like I did Vineyard Man. The love story between Taek Gi and Ji Hyun is simply delightful. It makes my heart go all doki-doki.
ANYWAY, dangermousie has stayed away from it because the male lead is less than a super model. This is very true, but Oh Man Suk was able to infuse Taek Gi with so much country charm by the end of the series you want to marry him. He's pretty much my ultimate drama boyfriend. But that begged the question - who would everyone else choose? I know darkeyedwolf is partial to Taek Gi herself and sailorgaia would choose Oh Dal Gun from Bad Family in a heartbeat, but what about the rest of the flist (that watches dramas, of course)?
To ease my curiosity (and waste some time) I decided to put together the Drama Boyfriends Playoffs (in honor of the upcoming NFL playoffs - GO COLTS!). I'm not sure how I'm going to split everyone up (Jdrama conference? I dunno), but I know I want to use some kind of seeded selection so I need votes!
Comment with your TOP 12 drama boyfriends ranked from favorite to not-quite-as-favorite in the comments. Hopefully that will give me enough overlap to have something to go on.
My Example:
1. Taek Gi (The Vineyard Man)
2. Taro (Utahime)
3. Han Kyul (Coffee Prince)
4. Mars (ToGetHer)
5. Woo Wan (Capital Scandal)
6. Hyun Soo (Smile, You)
7. Halu (Pride)
8. Eiji (Bara no nai Hanaya)
9. Dal Gun (Bad Family)
10. Gil Dong (Hong Gil Dong)
11. Buchou (Hotaru no Hikari)
12. Hwal (Triple)
