My favourite thing in K-drama is that there is a trope almost as universal as “girl takes off her glasses and ponytail and is revealed to be hot”. The k-drama male romantic lead equivalent is: THE FOREHEAD REVEAL and I chuckle every time it happens. Some examples:
Oh look it’s just regular guy Gang Tae (Kim Soo Hyun) he’s such a good nurse and brother WOAH WAIT NOW HE HAS HIS FOREHEAD ON SHOW *swoon*
Here is Captain Ri, North Korean Army captain and village dreamboat. You think that’s good? JUST YOU WAIT UNTIL HIS MAKEOVER MONTAGE CAPTAIN RI HAS FOREHEAD FOR DAYS
Here we have sweet teen Dal-Po (Lee Jeung Suk) with his tremendous wig, an intermediary “got a job” haircut then WHAM, GIRD YOUR LOINS, THE FOREHEAD IS OUT
These are just ones I can think of off the top of my head, might make a catalogue of forehead reveals as I come across them from now on
WAIT I have forgotten sweet dorky Nam Do San (Nam Joo-Hyuk) with all his super smart developer hair but then TEASING US with his forehead when he needs to convince us that he DOES BUSINESS
Oh here we go, vapid but sweet Deok Hwa (Yook Sung-Jae) has just been revealed to have been possessed by ALMIGHTY GOD. And how do we know? IT’S BECAUSE HE HAS GOT HIS FOREHEAD OUT. God knows that makes everyone quiver
It’s a DOUBLE FOREHEAD NIGHT! Not exactly a dramatic “he’s actually hot!” reveal because if the grim reaper (Lee Dong Wook) actually looks like this then I would die every day but WOAH HE WAS THE SHIT KING OF GORYEO IN HIS PAST LIFE? KINGS GET THEIR FOREHEADS OUT
I’ve been itching for him to have a forehead reveal just to get everyone horny on main, you’re welcome 
Lol my husband was telling me the other day I should start a blog reviewing K-dramas but I said I wouldn’t because that would take the fun out of them and yet here I am, compiling foreheads. I am sure this is exactly what he had in mind
The goblin with “features like a dinosaur”(???) shows FULL FOREHEAD when dolled up for his wedding! Who wouldn’t pull a sword out of his chest with that much forehead on show? *swoon*
Uh oh it’s awkward and prickly lawyer Kwon Jung-rok (yes, yes, we’ve had Lee Dong-wook already, but can you blame me?) but WAIT what’s THIS? He’s got his forehead out for his first official appearance as the famous actress’ boyfriend? DREAMBOAT
Fun fact: Lee Dong-wook and I share a birthday so clearly only *INCREDIBLY* hot people get birthed on 6th November, that’s just science.
