Wang Yi Bo
Chinês
Lan Zhan from The Untamed
AND of course the first spot for me would go to Lan Zhan, how could it not? His love for Wei Ying is practically legendary!
Xie Yun from Legend of Fei
I just love Xie Yun!!!!! The things that he was willing to do for Zhou Fei and the things that she did for him.

Jeremy Jones Xu
Chinês
Wei Guang from Legend of the Phoenix
I love Wei Guang!!! From the start, Ye Ning Zhi and Wei Guang had a mutual love and never stopped loving each other. Even though, due to circumstances, he cannot formally marry or be with Ye Ning Zhi after she became a consort. He was always a gentleman and never crossed the line, they never did anything indecent due to their statuses but that never stopped their yearning for each other, and it only made their love and mutual trust in each other stronger.

Chris Wu
Taiwanês
Hua Tuo Ye from Autumn's Concerto
I remember watching Autumn's Concerto in middle school and Tuo Ye's character stuck with me the most. The things that he did for Mu Cheng and his face during the bridge scene still sticks with me. I think his character theme song was the first one that I felt like was written for his character.

Ray Ma
Chinês
Wang Yuan Fang from Young Sherlock
This Prince changed so much after meeting Di Ren Jie and crew especially his feelings for Meng Yao. Knowing that she was in love with Ren Jie, he still loves her.
Ying Kong Shi from Ice Fantasy
I basically watched Ice Fantasy for Ma Tian Yu, sorry. But Ying Kong Shi was totally and completely dedicated to fulfilling his older brother's wish to be free.
-
Lee Joon Gi
Sul-coreano
Jang Tae San from Two Weeks
I really liked Tae San's character development from the beginning to the end. He is pretty misunderstood, he started out as as how he called it living as a nobody just getting by. After he found out the daughter's (the one he never knew about) life was depending on him, he did whatever he could to try to save himself and everyone that he cares about.
I also find it pretty funny and this is when I discovered that Lee Joon Gi was good at martial arts was when I saw him doing a kick at his enemy as Jang Tae San. The kick was beautiful and he goes and messes up the landing because his character isn't a martial artist. HAHA.

Deng Lun
Chinês
Xu Feng from Ashes of Love
Xu Feng AHHHH!!! Xu Feng!!!! from beginning to end, no matter what all he did was love Jin Mi!!!
Li Yun Kai from Because of Meeting You
I just love Li Yun Kai, you can feel that Guo Guo and Li Yun Kai are like two halves that missed each other in childhood. When he met Guo Guo again, after thinking that she was a single mother, he eventually accepted it and stuck by her side no matter what. Even at the disapproval of his family, quit his job and still stuck with her through thick and thin. When he found out that Guo Guo was Yi Bei, his face man.
-
Yeo Jin Goo
Sul-coreano
Ku Chan Sung from Hotel del Luna
I just love Ku Chan Sung. From the beginning when he realized that he loves Man Wol, he already knew that they would one day have to separate in order for her to finally be able to move on but he still stayed by her side anyway. They both had chances to stay with each other in this lifetime but they knew that it was best for her to finally move on and they would meet again.
-
Ji Chang Wook
Sul-coreano
Kim Jae Ha from The K2
I don't know why but I've always liked Jae Ha. His character is someone that was dishonorable discharged from the army, lost his lover, and finally kind of found his love again through Anna.
-
Ok Taec Yeon
Sul-coreano
Cha Gun Woo from Who Are You
I really like Cha Gun Woo. At first, he doesn't like his team leader and thinks there is something weird with her. But as he found out that there really is something weird and when she shows proof that she can see ghosts after telling him about his father, he completely believe, trust and loves her even when he found out that she is still in love with her boyfriend. He said that he would wait for her to grieve, for when she is ready to start a new relationship.
-
Wang Zhuo Cheng
Chinês
Jiang Cheng from The Untamed
Jiang Cheng never hated Wei Ying like everyone thinks. He wanted to hate him, he put a front to hating him but after hearing about his golden core, it was like all these years became pointless. Like what happened in Ashes of Love when Xu Feng found out about the Heart-testing Stone. Xu Feng put his effort into hating Jin Mi, even doing and saying things to hurt her, all to find out that two drops of blood undid all the effort. When I was watching the scene where Jiang Cheng confronted Wei Ying about his core, I felt like this scene from Ashes of Love is a good summary.
I think Jiang Cheng was more disappointed and betrayed than anything. His brother who has been with him thick and thin said that he would be with him forever to help rebuild Jiang Sect left him to help Wen Qing. And, their fight looks like it was a show for others to see, he brought his sister to sneak out and see him,
He definitely still cares about Wei Ying because he found Chen Qing and kept it all those years. I mean like he went to the temple to save Wei Ying cuz he didn't know where Jin Ling was. I think that he kept Chen Qing somewhere close to him or even kept on him always and cleaned it often. Because I mean 13 years of leaving it somewhere, even in a box is still not going to be clean.

He Hong Shan
Chinês
Ye Ning Zhi from Legend of the Phoenix
I love Ye Ning Zhi!! With her, it was more obvious she fell in love at first sight and her heart never wavered at all.
I just feel sad for them because they obviously love each other but just so close and yet so far before they can formally be a couple and in order to save the man she loves the most, she had to sacrifice the promise of spending the rest of their lives together. All this time, they had to keep a certain distance from each other even though they love each other.

Chen Yu Qi
Chinês
Liu Ying from Ashes of Love
I love how Liu Ying is brave, straight forward, and sticks to her principles. She never does anything against her conscience and always says exactly what she wants or thinks. She is confident, true to herself, only loves one person and never backs down. She doesn't show prejudice against anyone due to their background, only what they do.
I always loved her line where she was like, "Liu Ying is used to being a demon" when Sui He was like I was wondering which fairy this one is, she's also got a fun sense of humor because she started trolling Xu Feng to piss off Sui He. HAHAHAHA
I love how Bai Lu said that she is the noblest and most elegant woman in the six realms.

Chae Soo Bin
Sul-coreano
Jo Ha Yeon from Moonlight Drawn by Clouds
I love Jo Ha Yeon as the second main lead. She isn't like all the typical female leads that uses whatever methods and even underhanded methods to stay with the male lead. She likes the Crown Prince for who he is completely and fairly wants to be with him. She became the Crown Princess Candidate by fair means and her own effort. Even when she knew that he loves and misses Ran On, she stayed by his side taking care of him and trying to protect him. When she found out that Ran On was back, she didn't go like "he is mine, you leave" attitude which I admire. After everything was over, she backed out gracefully even though it would mean she had to be alone for the rest of her life, she didn't mind.
I am really glad the emperor made a exception for her to find someone she loves.

IU
Sul-coreano
Jang Man Wol from Hotel del Luna
Her character is just so BADASS!!! She is soooo coool and she does it while looking fancy.
-
Tavia Yeung
Honconguês
Tsui Siu Lai from The Mysteries of Love
Tsui Siu Lai is a badass police officer with a strong sense of justice and good at what she does. But she also has a sensitive side.
-
Zoey Meng
Chinês
Wen Qing from The Untamed
I love her even though some people feel like she took some screen time from Lan Zhan and Wei Ying in the drama but I feel like if they had to give more time to someone, I am glad it was to her and Shijie. This way, we really get to see the feelings that both big sisters have for their brothers which for me, I couldn't tell as much in the novel because Wen Qing and Shijie appeared around the time the Yunmeng Jiang Sect massacre.
She was born into the Wen Family even though it is a branch family. She cannot do anything about it. Everyone hated her family name but she stuck to her principles and helped people as a doctor. All she wanted to do was take care of her family and her brother. In the live action, you can see how much Wen Ning means to her. And what she did in the end for Wei Ying.
"Thank You and I'm Sorry".
Bonus Fanmade Track: Burning Love - Remember Wen Qing

Son Ye Jin
Sul-coreano
Yeo Wol from The Pirates
I love how she is a badass pirate captain that sticks to her beliefs. She puts her crew and nature first. Her action scenes are really cool and awesome especially when she was jumping from the post and swinging down. I like the fact that she has her own style of fighting that suits her. When she is fighting her enemy, she can block some of the attacks but not all of them which makes it very realistic.

Oomasa Aya
Japonês
Sunako Nakahara from Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge
I have always loved Sunako because she is soo fun!!! She has a trauma from being called ugly by the one she liked in middle school so she kind of shut off from the world but she speaks up for herself and the ones she cares about when she needs to. She is a confident girl and I love the different takes of her that they did in the anime and in the live action. I love the fact that Sunako's love for chocolate is enough to send her to the dark side. HAHAHA
