xinmsn checks out the list of staples in Korean dramas that keep viewers coming back for more

Rock-hard abs

You know what they say – if you’ve got it, flaunt it.

Most celebrities work hard at keeping their bodies in tip-top shape and aren’t afraid to show it. Super Junior’s Choi Siwon, well known for his ‘chocolate abs’, has flaunted his rock-hard abs on more than one occasion. In the drama stills from his latest drama, The King of Dramas, the hunky singer-actor has set many a fan’s heart aflutter with his shirtless state.

Other men with notable six-packs include Song Seung Hun (My Princess), Lee Ki Woo (Flower Boy Ramyun Shop) and Gong Yoo (Big).

While shirtless men rarely add much to the overall plot and storyline, they seem to have become a regular occurrence on Korean dramas. Then again, who’s complaining?
