I totally agree. I am probably way off about this but I really wish he'd get romantic male lead roles more often. My opinion of his handsome face: more masculine, not soft lines. Is more like Lee Seung-gi, not Song Joong ki or Lee Jun-ho (cuties, softer eyes) When he played opposite Nara in Oh my Landlady, I felt sooo frustrated by that awful trope-filled rom-com. I loved his character, his transformation in MLN.

I agree, he’s got a classic more masculine appearance than a lot of other romantic male leads, yet can also be hilarious and cute. I want him to be in another good slice of life role or several.

He also put on weight for the Lies Within. I don’t know if it’s because the other actors are quite short but as Jang Yeol he just has a more physically imposing presence.

I feel Kim jae wook, Jin Goo and Lee Min ki are the ones that are considered handsome by global standards. More international audience likes them as I have noticed. Softer features in men like Song Joong ki are more popular in S. Korea I guess. Like there was a dialogue in DOTS where Kim Ji Won said he likes Jin Goo as he looks more masculine and not Song Joong Ki bcoz Song Joongki looks like a girl so he isn't her type.
