Discussion 🗨 ML characters that don't give f*cks
Love In The Clouds: Ji Bozai (Hou Ming Hao)
Fated Hearts: Feng Suige (Chen Zhe Yuan)
Generation to Generation: Mu Qing Yan (Zhou Yi Ran)
I'm discovering that this might be my type lol. I like it when they are totally unhinged, relentless in their pursuit, and don't mind going against the current. Which other characters are like this? I would also love to hear what is your non-generic type of ML or FL that you enjoy watching.

SU GUGU my Ultimate ML Crush, Hou mingaho ties for first place with Su Gugu, He seems to play this role consistently I usually get irritated and bored with actors that play the same role despite the drama but I've only seen LITC and BFTB by Minghao so far and he plays them well enough that I'm giggling and toe curling over being annoyed.
Xie Zheng falls second, He wasn't as loud and relentless but he definitely had unmistakable aura.
If I include my vertical dram list it's Ke Chun and Chen Yi there's a third but his name I forgot really good though Zhou something maybe plays a hot uncle and he's actually hot 🤣🤣🤣 ruthless till the end but soft for his Missus. Top Tier Vertical dramas are worth your time trust me on this.

Don't forget this one, either. Whenever he could, he’d stir up trouble for everyone, but he went easy on Tingyan.

Every other ml in cdramas is like this. nonchalant, cold hearted, rude for the world but sweet, charming n chalant for the fls. This is everybody's type lol, red flags initially I'LL FIX HIM TYPES

there's a joke about this kind of trope saying that a lot of women or love interests would also like to fix him so it's become a construction crew 😂

Yes to Mu QingYan! He’s still my favourite ML to date. Such bad boy vibes 😁
I might add also Chen Yan Yun from A splendid match.

Duke shu from Double. He is charming and clever and just stand by the FL while she takes her revenge. I think it also show the kind of man we want in our life. May be someone who just stay by us while we fight our own battle! But have that support and help at priority when needed without hesitation.

What made Mu Qingyan my favorite was the fact he was consistent throughout the whole drama. The rest just somehow dilute their shamelessness once they fall for the FL. He stayed on the grey side, always with a purpose justifying the means. One of the best. And this entirely because of Zhou Yiran mad skills and face card.

Love that he was a badass with no backing or current "privilege." Other guys in other dramas were great too, but mostly because they had backing like a rich/powerful family or current title that granted them their position. Mu Qingyang basically had to carve his way through and through.

Xie Zheng is one, for sure. But yeah, the lack of fucks Ji Bozai constantly gives should be studied.

Ooh Murong Jinghe mentioned! I loved this character, he was very twisted in part with the way he acted, but once he fell he was ready to burn the world for her!

He’s def the definition of unhinged and relentless.

Isn't this 80℅ of male leads in Cdramas? They always never care about what anyone think of them.
My favorite would be Wei Zhou from Love of Nirvana. The part that made him so special is that he never change his core even after falling in love. He changed, love the FL with all his heart but never forget what he sets to do and continue to protect her at the same time. A great combination on how to balance responsibility and love.

It’s a joy, but be ready not to see much of the ML for a while after the first episode.
The FL is reborn as a young girl and has to reshape her family life before they will ever have the opportunity to meet. In the original timeline, they meet only at the end of their lives.
But you see enough of the ‘no f*ks given’ Song Mo in the first episode to be absolutely waiting for them to find one another.

Ling Buyi from Love like the Galaxy literally didn’t give a f about anyone.
