Characters in K-Dramas you wish you could be

1. Do Min Joo - 'My Love From Another Star'

Do Min Joo truly was from another star as he used his magical powers to control space and time. Although Do Min Joo's heightened physical abilities make him stronger than any other human on Earth, he still can't overcome the power of love! He is a character we can relate to because even when we try to hide it, love takes over us and we can't help but stop time and stand still with that person forever.

2. Ji Eun Tak - 'Goblin'

Many may wonder, "Why Ji Eun Tak?" She's poor, has a horrible family and virtually no real friends. However, fans want to be her not only because of her cheerful demeanor but for her unique life and attitude! Seeing ghosts, avoiding the Grim Reaper and eventually becoming the Goblin's bride to the handsome Gong Yoo, what more could you want for an adventure? Honestly, they had me at Gong Yoo.

3. Joo Joong Wong - 'The Master's Sun'

Who wouldn't want to be a rich CEO? Although Joo Joong Wong can be a bit of a self-absorbed jerk, fans appreciated his compassionate growth towards the end. He is someone we would want to become because he is a perfect example of changing for the better.

4. Eun Ha Won - 'Cinderella and The Four Knights'

Eun Ha Won is a hard-working, determined, independent woman - a quality people strive to have nowadays. She doesn't take crap from anyone and doesn't let her status determine the way she should be treated. However, her rich, brave personality isn't the only thing we envy, we can't understand how she remained so calm around the 4 handsome male leads. With four handsome, wealthy guys by our side, what could possibly go wrong? Ladies, take your pick while we are living in the dream world!

5. Yoo Shi Jin - 'Descendants of The Sun'

Mysteriously cool, powerful and elite, Yoo Shi Jin is no ordinary man. For the guys who aren't into too much romance or flower boys, Yoo Shi Jin is the manly-man, go to guy worth imitating. He is everything a guy wants to be - reliable, handsome and making the impossible possible! Plus, he wins over Song Hye Gyo's heart in the end (alongside all of Korea), and who doesn't want that?

6. Shim Cheong - 'The Legend of The Blue Sea'

Imagine being a mermaid full of mystery and magical powers! Although going to the jjimjilbang may not be an option ever again, imagine being able to erase people's memories. Who ate the last piece of cake? No one will remember now! >:) Shim Cheong's carefree attitude and hilarious behavior made her the life of the party with a natural attraction, the perfect role model in our book!

7. Chae Dae Woong - 'My Girlfriend is a Gumhio'

Chae Dae Woong is one lucky man. Although a bit scary in the beginning, not only is it cool to have a girlfriend with mythical powers, but it is also amazing how she gives him supernatural abilities. Everyone loved the innocent and cute dynamic between Chae Dae Woong and Mi Ho, so it is no surprise that male viewers envied his role. A gorgeous girlfriend and super powers are a cliche for all men.

8. Go Eun Chan - 'Coffee Prince'

Go Eun Chan is the hardworking, bread-winner of the family but we all envy her for a few good reasons. No, not only because she has Gong Yoo in her life, but because she is admirable in a genuine way. She looks after her family and friends well, she can eat food like no tomorrow (which is a dream) and she has the most quirkiest romance in the end. Matching couple earrings? Sign me up!

9. Vick - 'Iris'

Want to be badass and devilishly good looking like Vick, aka T.O.P? Well, it won't happen overnight but fans were in love with T.O.P's role in 'Iris' due to his hot-blooded nature. Something about his intense character is impressive and who hasn't imagined what the life of an assassin is like at least once? If being a spy is too old school for you, step it up a notch and become as daring as Vick.

10. Lee Yeon Jae - 'Scent Of A Woman'

Lee Yeon Jae may have suffered from cancer but her 'never-give-up' attitude is what makes us want to be like her. She was quick to remove the negativity in her life and live for herself, which isn't easy for many people to accomplish these days. Her legitimate YOLO lifestyle in the drama is very inspirational and the drama's moral message really stimulates viewers to live their lives like Lee Yeon Jae - healthy or not. By doing so, she even falls happily in love, which is the ultimate life goal in the end.
