The hottest K-drama at the moment is definitely The Red Sleeve as its viewership rating consistently took first place in its time slot, surpassing even Song Hye Kyo’s Now, We Are Breaking Up.

Not only boasting his handsome visuals, Lee Junho also steals the viewers’ hearts with his brilliant acting.
2. Ahn Hyo Seop (Lovers of the Red Sky)
Besides “Sageuk fairy” Kim Yoo Jung, Lovers of the Red Sky is also a “visual feast” thanks to the male lead Ha Ram (Ahn Hyo Seop).

3. Taecyeon (Secret Royal Inspector & Joy)
