  • Flower of Evil

    1. Flower of Evil

    Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

    8.0

    Traumatized to the point of barely functioning was an interesting approach to the usual badass ML. Him being a malewife and essentially a househusband gives him bonus points 

  • Goukon ni Ittara Onna ga Inakatta Hanashi

    2. Goukon ni Ittara Onna ga Inakatta Hanashi

    Japanese Drama - 2022, 10 episodes

    Especially TML, he's sooooo puppy coded. An unbothered king, giving a grand total of -100 hells about anyone's opinions living his best life and thriving. 

  • The School Nurse Files

    3. The School Nurse Files

    Korean Drama - 2020, 6 episodes

    6.5

    Softspoken, supportive and so incredibly babygirl. Everything from his mannerisms to his looks were so unusual (and babygirl coded, like OMH). He also cares so much about his students and fully trusts and supports FL

  • Ripe Town

    4. Ripe Town

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    8.5

    Specifically SML. He's quite unlike any ML I've seen in a historical cdrama before. Not only is he disabled but he's also an effortless badass. Like bro has tattoos yet maintains his elegance

  • Kuragehime

    5. Kuragehime

    Japanese Drama - 2018, 10 episodes

    8.0

    Femboy crossdresser, how much more unique can one get? He's so supportive and kind of the people around him but doesn't let himself be walked over. He doesn't fit in most places so he finds a place where he does and cherishes it. Also bro's fashion sense is on another level

  • Summer Strike

    6. Summer Strike

    Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes

    6.0

    Softspoken, gentle and shy. They really don't make them like this enough (︶︹︺) His vibes were so relaxing and he's so baby 

  • Oh My General

    7. Oh My General

    Chinese Drama - 2017, 60 episodes

    7.5

    Spoiled brat princess. He starts off iffy but comes around and becomes a very doting husband who appreciates and supports his badass wife

  • Ore no Kawaii wa Mousugu Shohikigen!?

    8. Ore no Kawaii wa Mousugu Shohikigen!?

    Japanese Drama - 2022, 9 episodes

    8.5

    One of the–if not the–most narcissitic ML ever but in the cutest way possible. He's such a drama queen but also such a sweetheart 

  • My Lady General

    9. My Lady General

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 23 episodes

    7.0

    Homme fatale ML who's a flirt, a seductor and a cutie? This really was peak characterization. Another drama queen who knows he's the prettiest boy and isn't afraid to use that to his advantage

  • Run On

    10. Run On

    Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

    9.0

    Yet another softspoken and shy ML. I really loved his character. Despite being quite reserved he was still very resolute and strong-willed

  • Bad Guys

    11. Bad Guys

    Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes

    9.5

    Specifically TML (Yak). Such a refreshing take on the typical badass gangster. He was so funny and kind and warm. He's so supportive of those around him too

  • The Legend of Zhuohua

    12. The Legend of Zhuohua

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes

    9.5

    This one actually has TWO

    • ML. A realistic approach to the aloof general MLs. He's an older guy and very traumatized and that is what contributes to his aloofness. He's also wise and smart and drinks so much respect-women-juice, AUGH
    • SML. A boytoy who would do ANYTHING for his evil gf to achieve her goals. Like, cmon. He's also an amazing friend and drinks so much respect-women juice, man's an addict
  • Fox in Fuso

    13. Fox in Fuso

    Chinese Movie - 2020

    3.5

    Genuinely bro was just there. He didn't want to take part in anything, he was just unfortunately dragged into all the shenanigans. Such an unbothered king and ALSO babygirl? Imma need more asap

  • Hiyama Kentaro no Ninshin

    14. Hiyama Kentaro no Ninshin

    Short king supremacy! 

  • Destined

    17. Destined

  • Palace Shadows: Between Two Princes

    18. Palace Shadows: Between Two Princes

  • Ye Cheng Fu

    19. Ye Cheng Fu

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 16 episodes

    6.0

    Super puppy and flirty but also scheming. An interesting duality tbh. He's also kinda mommy coded (and he's also a dancer which slay)

  • Shufu Maison

    20. Shufu Maison

    Japanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes

    7.5

    Lots of variety of rr and househusbands~ I especially loved ML from the 2nd and 4th couple. One was adorable devoted, such a caretaker and the 4th one was more fiesty but such a great father and hubby 100/10

  • Mentalese Express

    21. Mentalese Express

    Taiwanese Movie - 2023

    9.0

    Extremely shy, kinda insecure and so incredibly adorable. He's not your usual assertive ML, in fact, he can't even make eye-contact and it was hecking adorable. 10/10
