What worries me is that since i have started watching these dramas my taste in guys has changed, i find some korean guys extremely handsome and romantic. I am persian myself and my friends cant understand it when i say i find korean guys good looking. Kim bum, kim hyun joong and jang geun suk are a few examples of the korean guys that i find attractive

So i want to know, are there actually korean guys out there that are naturally good looking like those celebrities? and when they fall in love with a girl are they so romantic like in the dramas?

Yes, Koreans are very polite and respectful, but just like everywhere else in the world not everything is going to be that perfect. There are a lot of nice Koreans guys, but you can't go by what you see in dramas.



Btw, I love Kim Bum and Kim Hyun joong.

It's just like American soaps and dramas (and everywhere else in the world too). They hire good-looking actors to be on the show. I've met some very handsome Korean men and average-looking ones too. I would not say any one of them was as romantic as a guy on a drama, but some were romantic enough, and genuine, not superficial.

You know it's just TV right? Celebrities are generally better looking than the average folk. Just the same way not all Americans look like Brad Pitt. I've been to Korea several times and I've only seen one guy I would say is cute like the K drama actors.



K dramas are like a fantasy world. Real men in Korea don't behave that way (with exceptions of course) and they don't for sure look like that. It's true what one answerer said. Korean men in general aren't expressive...not like most Western men for instance.



A lot of foreigners that are taken with K dramas and K pop fall in love with Korea and express a desire to relocate. You'll only be disappointed to know that real life doesn't meet your expectations from reel life. Not to say Korea isn't great. It is. I for one don't go around New Jersey and expecting to see "The Hills" playing out before me.

There are some but not a lot and not as 'perfect' as the boys from the dramas.



I know what you mean lol, after watching dramas you kind of go away with this idea that you want to find a guy like that and you won't settle for anything else.

But these things are characters and scripted after all.



Like idk if you watched Secret Garden and the famous 'romantic foam kiss' it was a scene that stole everybody's heart.

Later they asked Hyun Bin (the main actor) what he tought about his famous scene and he said that he is unable to do that to someone in real life.



So there you go...one thing is fiction and the other is harsh reality. lol

hmm....i'm a guy so i could be waiting to help with this...i think of it somewhat relies upon on the guy and not each korean guy is romantic and candy. I watch plenty korean dramas so i understand what you advise. in factor of actuality that drama would possibly no longer portray certainty...whether i desire it may. i'm a asian guy (taiwanese, no longer korean) and that i in my view desire to be romantic and candy (so because it somewhat is i watch dramas haha)...the it won't be able to be pronounced for each guy or woman nonetheless....

in any race, country, city, home ,..... there are different people, some of them are more good looking,some of them are more polite, some of them are handsom and some not,......not all the american are nicolas cage, not all the persian are golshifteh and bahram radan, and also not all the korean are lee min ho and kim bum, people are different from each other and this is the fantastic magic of the nature. yes we like k.dramas because their culture is close to us, and in general i think most korean people are really polite and kind. hope this helped. movafagh bashi!!!

Not all Corean men are good looking like those that are in dramas. Those guys, after all, have had plastic surgery. I'm lucky enough to have found a all-natural sexy Corean; who is 6'3 to boot. And with the romantic part? He's the only Corean I've ever dated, and he's not really romantic.... lols.



Oh and most Corean men and women tend to marry their own. Meaning Coreans mainly marry Coreans; they don't interracial date too much.





And c'mon... you haven't watching Oh! My Lady or Athena?? Choi Siwon is in there, and he's way sexier than those 3 guys you named!! -_-;

im not agree with persianp , im persian too but i dont think that most of the persian dont like asian guys! thats really false , ....the most important thing is personality, not nationality or religion. many asian guys are more good looking than ....., most of the persian guys are really more attractive than others. so there is no difference between asian,european and american and ......, no all of the ppl from a country are angel or...,ppl are different....................................................bye bye***

NO!!! in reality, corean men are EXACTLY OPPOSITE of corean dramas. real corean culture is opposite of corean drama. for example, not expressing love to a woman who you love is one of the corean cultures which are the opposite of corean drama. I find it funny that corean dramas depict men in exactly opposite way from our real culture. corean drama is NOT romantic, It's just feminish and childish. I can't stand feminish men in corean romantic dramas. real corean men are cool, manly and our unique sense of humor. corean men aren't romantic like italian men but we have our own cool way of loving a woman.
