For Kochi-based writer-researcher Tess Joss, the ideal man would be a hero from the Korean dramas. Recently, after coming across the social media account of an Indian woman married to a South Korean man, she realised that this could be her reality as well.  “I always knew what kind of man I wanted in my life, but there was no representation of such men in our films and drama series. With K-dramas, I finally saw them on celluloid,” shares Joss. Describing those qualities, she says that the men in these shows are extremely understanding, sensitive and do not refrain from showing their emotions and affection. “However, one thing that I dislike in real life, but enjoy watching in these series, is that jealousy plays a major role in a lot of their love stories. If I think of it objectively, it can get toxic, but like everything else, it is portrayed in a very cute manner.”
