I mean, you expect these things from your family and friends but it's a whole other feeling when fictional characters help you out regardless of the language barrier.

It's the K-drama leads giving us that soup for the soul feeling or the warmth that we wish to have in our lives.

So let's go through all the precious life lessons that our K-drama leads have taught us so far!

Park Sae-Ro-Yi- Itaewon Class

Never give up! No matter how many difficult situations life throws at you. Just keep going and things will get better. Park Sae-Ro-Yi is the epitome of resilience. The death of his father, going to prison even though he never did anything wrong, and having to do hard labor after coming out is everything that he had to endure. But Park Sae-Ro-Yi's perseverance is something that we can gain strength from.

Ko Moon-Young - It's Okay To Not Be Okay

First of all the show's name itself gives you so much comfort when it says 'It's Okay To Not Be Okay'. While that is the main moral of the show, Ko Moon Young tells us that just like happiness, sadness, or any other emotion, anger should be communicated as well. It's okay to be angry but it's more important to communicate that anger to your loved one instead of suppressing it inside you.

Hong Du-Sik - Hometown Cha Cha Cha

Hong Du Sik aka Chief Hong taught us that you never know what someone is going through silently so be kind to everyone. Allow yourself to grieve and give yourself all the time you need to do it.

Kim Bok-Joo - Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo

Kim Bok-Joo dominated the world of weightlifting which was considered to be a sport for men. Never let anyone stop you from reaching your goals or tell you what you can and cannot do! Also, not to forget that Kim Bok-Joo was also just a mere teenager who was tackling her love life. She felt like she needed to look more feminine or had to lose weight to get a boyfriend but the truth is the one who truly loves will accept you for all that you are and more!

Naa Hee-Do - Twenty Five Twenty One

Sometimes two people who are deeply in love can also have completely different perspectives of what they want from life. As two adults, it's okay to part ways maturely if you're no longer serving the purpose in each other's lives that you once used to. Not every breakup has to be bitter and it's absolutely normal to miss someone you once loved even if you were the one who broke up!

Lee Ik-Joon - Hospital Playlist

Ik-Joon is one of the most endearing K-drama leads you'll ever come across. He teaches you to find happiness in the little things, keeping your sense of humor alive always, and making people smile. But most importantly the fact that true love can take a long long time but it'll definitely be worth the wait! Finding the perfect time and the perfect moment is key!

Sung Deok-Mi - Her Private Life

You can have the best of both worlds if you have the perfect work-life balance! Sung Deok-Mi was a smart, intelligent art curator who was passionate about her job but that doesn't mean she had to ever stop herself from being a die-hard K-Pop fan in her personal life. Allotting time for your hobbies is an essential part of life.

Kook Yeon-Su - Our Beloved Summer

Kook Yeon-Su had the tendency to push people away who loved her because she did not want to burden them with her problems. But it's later that she realizes we shouldn't take our loved ones for granted. Not everyone is lucky to have someone who loves them with all their heart so always value the ones who do and keep them close.

Chan Young and Joo Hee - Thirty Nine

Fulfill that bucket list, leave that toxic job and give the best you can for your parents while you have the time and energy. Chan Young and Joo Hee mirror what our lives could be at thirty-nine. It's all about keeping your circle small and seizing the day together!

Yoon Seri - Crash Landing On You

Her life lesson is a bit more light-hearted than the others but nevertheless a pivotal one. Take time out for skincare! No matter how busy you get or where you're stuck, there's no reason good enough to skip your skincare routine. K-drama leads are a big example of having no guilt in pampering yourself!
