male side characters that ate (more than the ml)
work in progress
side characters always seems to shine. perhaps because we don't get enough of them?
no specific order but top ones are prob current obsessions
p.s. i used a people list rather than a drama list b/c this way, we can admire their faces!
p.p.s. male lead version here: https://mydramalist.com/list/10dlm5x1

from "i am nobody": wang ye, the seemingly lazy daoist master with a big heart, turns out to have an even bigger fortune, and looks amazing with a baseball cap!

1. funny, flirty but always loyal yue xuan in "in a class of her own"

in the mess of a drama called "xuan yuan sword: han cloud", bai yi stuck out to me with both an atrocious hairstyle and, most importantly, a tragic backstory + interesting personality.

gong shangjue's character was so much more engaging compared to the male lead's and the director of "my journey to you" sure knows his angles!

beitang moran from "oh! my emperor" should have got the girl instead because the ml was actually crap, unlike the caring and thoughtful moran!
