K-Drama “Bad Boys” With Good Heart ft. Lee Je Hoon, Lee Min Ho and more Kpopnews

These K-Drama characters are bad guys, but they’re still good guys inside.

The main male character of K-drama has become more diverse in recent years, attracting more viewers. Many of the characters have the bad boy image but are actually nice, which keeps viewers from hating them. Let’s take a look at who they are.

Wang Tao Zi (Lee Je Hoon) – “Taxi Driver”

The second season of “Taxi Driver” aired this year. One of the funniest parts of Taxi Driver is the character of Wang Tao Zi, played by Lee Je Hoon. Specifically, Wang Tao Zi is the fake identity of the main male character created by Kim Do Gi for his plan to expose Lim Bok Ja’s (Shim So Young) wrongdoings.

In order for her plan to go smoothly, Wang Tao Zi kept flirting with Lim Bok Ja, which made her heart pound. But when she fell in love with him, he revealed his true identity and broke the villain’s heart.

Wang Tao Zi exploited one of a woman’s weaknesses, namely emotions, so that she could easily exploit information about her.

While he’s a “red flag” for women, for viewers the male lead is a man of integrity. He tries with all his heart to help the weak, to seek the truth and to bring evil to light.

Heo Joon Jae (Lee Min Ho) – “Legend of the Blue Sea”

Heo Joon Jae, played by Lee Min Ho in the 2016 drama Legend of the Blue Sea, opposite Jun Ji Hyun, caused quite a stir. Heo Joon Jae is a professional scammer. He takes on different identities to fool people and make banks.

But what’s unique is that Heo Joon Jae’s “victims” are usually moody, wealthy people. Sometimes the male protagonist’s approach to his “victims” not only helps him get rich, but also teaches the villains a valuable lesson.

Although Heo Joon Jae is liberal and somewhat carefree, he gradually reveals his positive sides when he meets the mermaid Shim Chung (Jun Ji Hyun).

He is always ready to help and protect her. Later, as their love grew, Heo Joon Jae decided to quit his job as a scammer and return to the honest life. Many viewers praised “Bad Boy” Heo Joon Jae for really fitting in with their ideal boyfriend type.

Park Jae Eon (Song Kang) – Still

In 2021, the “talented boy & beautiful girl” combination Song Kang – Han So Hee in the series “Nevertheless” delighted theater fans. Although “Nevertheless” caused a lot of controversy, it caught the attention of many netizens when it aired.

Song Kang played the role of Park Jae Eon, a handsome college student. With his bright appearance, Park Jae Eon attracts the attention of many girls. This guy often flirts with the girls he is interested in. He even spends the night with them. However, upon meeting the heroine Yu Na Bi (Han So Hee), Park Jae Eon still shows some kindness.

When he sees that she is in trouble, he doesn’t hesitate to help her. It’s even him who helps her in tricky situations. In the end, Jae Eon decides to accompany Na Bi instead of chasing after women like before when he realizes that he really needs Na Bi.

Despite being a womanizer, Jae Eon is always polite and friendly, especially towards the girl he likes.
