VOTE: And the MDL award for best male lead actor goes to...
Choose a drama that aired between 2010-2021, in which the male lead (male lead only) in that drama, did a wonderful job acting. Please do not vote for male lead actors just because you find them attractive or even because the drama is popular. This voting list is about performance, not popularity or attractiveness. Note: A drama could be horrible, but it doesn't mean that the male lead actor didn't do an excellent job acting. Sometimes dramas suck because of the script, and not necessarily the actors.
You'll be able to vote for up to three dramas, only the top 30 dramas will be shown. Please understand that I am not in control of what other people vote for, so be respectful.
- Voting starts 10-16-2021
- Voting ends 11-16-2021
OPTIONAL: In the comment area, let us know which 3 dramas you've voted for and the reason why. Who was the male lead in the drama that you voted for?
My first vote/award goes to The Smile Has Left Your Eyes. Before watching this drama, I never heard of, watched or seen Seo In Guk in another drama. I was blown away by his performance in the drama. His acting was so top notch that he really made me believe that he was a sociopath. Click here to read my MDL review about this specific drama.
HOW TO VOTE: If the drama that you want to vote for is not listed in the top 30, you can vote for the drama by adding it to the blank spot that is directly under the 20 most voted dramas; "Is something missing on this list?" Type in the name of the drama, and it should appear.
