Unique Male Leads
Most of these are just really different/weird ML's, not the usual brooding ML or even the goofy ones. Just indescribably different.

1. Yes! Mr. Fashion
Chinese Drama - 2016, 28 episodes
The ML gave me serious bi/gay vibes. He was straight. Love this kind of ML's.

2. Falling Into You
Taiwanese Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
-
3. Wonderful Fate
Chinese Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
I might just have a thing for dramas where the ML tries to kill the FL before falling in love with her.

4. Mars
Taiwanese Drama - 2004, 13 episodes
Presented as a playboy, but not a playboy and not in the usual "no longer a playboy for the FL" type of stories. He was somehow the biggest womaniser who seemed to have no respect for woman, and yet the most respectful man, not just in comparison to this drama, but respectful in comparison to just about every drama I've watched.

5. I Am the Years You Are the Stars
Chinese Drama - 2021, 24 episodes
-
6. The Flame's Daughter
Chinese Drama - 2018, 52 episodes
The ML was annoyingly goofy but serious. The way he speaks and carries himself is like that of a typical bad guy, which he was at some point, before the events of the drama. But he was the typical good guy with characteristics of his former "evil" self.

7. Snowdrop
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
-
8. Jun Jiu Ling
Chinese Drama - 2021, 40 episodes
I feel like it is rare to have an ML like the ML in this drama for a historical drama.. He was everything that you'd find in a typical second lead mixed into one, in the best way possible.

9. The King's Affection
Korean Drama - 2021, 20 episodes
The ML seemed more girly than the FL and and loved the relationship dynamic between the two.
He was also definitely gay for the FL.

22. Story of Kunning Palace
Chinese Drama - 2023, 38 episodes
Ml and FL were perfect red flags for each other in both lifetimes. ML is unique in the sense that he is very grey. He doesn't try to be good. He was a tyrant in his past life and he has the potentially to be as 'evil' in his current life. He never becomes food, he just doesn't care to take over the kingdom anymore.

24. Lovely Runner
Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
