Non-Flowerboy Main Lead in Romantic Movie/Drama

Jul 10, 2018 06:32 am

Pls suggest a romance movie - Chinese, Japanese (with strong chemistry) with a MALE lead who's not flowerboy, but more of oozes a hardcore-businessman-intellectual vibe. Like more of ahjusshi than oppa.

I'm exploring the beauty of Asian cinema pls help me out.

Def of flowerboy -- Lee Min-ho, Park Kyung-sik, Lee Jongsuk, Park Seojoon, etc.

Businessman-intellectual -- Ken Watanabe, Park Shin-yang, Lei Jiayin, Hwang Jung-min

Looking forward to watch everything u recommend! Thank u for helping me!

So Chinese and Japanese but not korean? Ok, let me look...

Actor Huang Xiao Ming

-Cruel romance: Crime boss

-My sunshine (movie): Lawyer

Actor Jerry Yan (debatable but in these dramas he's definitely not flower)

-Down with love: lawyer

-Loving never forgetting: Businessman.

Actor Hawick Lau (Not my favorite but...)

-Sealed with a kiss (he looks really old in this one, plus glasses! haha): businessman.

Still consider them as quite handsome, but that of the oozing with super mature manly man gorgeousness ura and sensuality

KimuTaku - BG: Bodyguard, A Life
Jin Dong - Surgeons, The disguiser
Masaharu Fukuyama - Galileo, Love Song

Well, OP asked for romance movies/shows. BG: Personal Bodyguard is not a romance, neither is Internal Affairs or Mr. Wu. Andy Lau had some romance movies when he was younger, but... He was definitely pretty back then, so not sure if you want to watch it.

Liu Ye's All Quiet in Peking is also not a romance, but his newest drama Old Boy has some romance (focusing on main leads meeting and getting to know each other, rather than dating), but main theme is slice of life, family and friendship. Very recommended.

Maybe try Love me if you Dare?
