Idk if this was already mentioned but Je Ha from The K2 ohhhhhh man

he's had a tough life and he's an absolute badass but he gets surprisingly nurturing and tender with the FL, it makes him soften up a bit with the people around him.

Ohhhhh that description is just what I'm looking for, he's tough but gets surprisingly tender with FL. 

Thanks I'm gonna check it out! :D

*These dramas have in common that the male leads are not the CEO arrogant type that inherit rich family; but they just work to earn their money; while dealing with life’s experience that made them arrogant, conceited or a loner. 

omg Le coup de foudre is exactly what you need to see its so good and fits all your criteria.  I just  finished  watching that drama and im in love ^^ seriously i can't describe in words how happy and content i felt towards  the end especiallybecause it was a true love story of the author of the novel definitely recommend 100 %

ML in Love & Destiny fits what you're looking for to perfection!

He is the God of War so he has to be all tough and fierce on the outside, however, beneath that tough exterior he's so sweet & gentle to the FL once he decides that he loves her. He quite literally will move heaven & earth for her. I can't get enough of him & them. They are an amazing couple!

It's a long drama with 60 eps, 45 min each. If that sounds too daunting of a commitment, I'd advice that you watch eps 1 - 24, then eps 40 - 60. Eps 25 - 39 can be skipped (or fast forwarded through) without missing any important details. These middle eps are mainly focused on secondary characters that aren't really interesting in their own right & other matters that don't drive the main story/plot forward so it's not necessary to watch them if you don't want to commit the time. 

Someone advised me to do this & I wish I had listened to them.
