Oppa's Got a Crush: 7 K-Drama Signs That He's Totally Into You

Annyeong Haseyo Chingu-deul

Since its discovery by endearing fans around the world, K-dramas have been giving ultimate relationship goals with Oppas whose flags are greener than grass. Like, where have you been all my life?

With the perfect portrayal of dashing and romantic wealthy male leads who would move heaven and travel across time to win over their love interests, it's always giving “God when?”.

Have you found yourself a chaebol Oppa and you’re wondering if he has fallen for your charms yet? If yes, then this article is just for you. If no, well, you've still got time.

After careful study and research of multiple k-dramas, here are some ways to know if your Chaebol Oppa is in love with you:

Gives you extravagant gifts and surprises.

If there's anything rich Oppas know, it's how to knock you off your feet with the most expensive gifts you would need to sell your left kidney to get yourself.

From getting you a dress worth thousands of dollars, designer bags, shoes and even clearing half the mall for you, Oppa speaks the love language of gifts, and thank God I'm a polyglot.


Planning romantic dates

Going on dates and creating memories is very important in every relationship, and he’ll always give you a tip of what to expect. It could be a private firework display on a cruise ship after a long day of work or a quiet dinner at the most prestigious and trendy restaurant, fully booked of course. He might not have asked you out yet, but he definitely wants to impress you with fairy-tale-like dates to make you fall for him.


Always wants to feed you

This might sound weird, but we all want our partners to look good and well-fed right? So, if he always looks for every excuse to feed you, then he has been shot by Cupid. Sometimes, he’ll go all out to cook for you, so if you pull up to his crib unannounced, your breakfast, lunch, and dinner are already covered, and I’m talking multiple-course meals Chef Gordon Style.

If it’s during a company dinner, he ensures you have more than enough to eat than your co-workers and will sometimes surprise you with coffee or your favourite soda from time to time.

If you looking healthy and well-fed is his plan, then hear the “I love you” bells ringing.


Acts as your personal chauffeur

When a chaebol Oppa is in love with you, he is always over considerate and protective of you and will find any and every reason to drive you around especially to work where he's probably your boss. He would gladly leave his mansion in the rich people's estate for your lower middle-class rooftop apartment every morning. Sometimes, he kicks it up a notch by moving close to you so it’s easier.

He always wants to know where you are and accompany you everywhere in a sweet, low-level creepy way.


He gives sudden gentle displays of affection

Sudden, gentle displays of affection are a sign that he is head over heels for you. He may grab your hand unconsciously, pat your head gently, fix your scarf, brush your hair off your face, or give you his umbrella in the rain and a warm hug during a difficult day. He is totally the United Nations' green flag ambassador.


Being vulnerable around you

Showing your sensitive side is a very vulnerable and difficult thing to do especially because you’re not sure of how the other party will react, so as humans, we reveal this part of ourselves to people we really trust and feel safe with. So, if it’s easy for him to show his childlike, emotional, and sensitive side to you, then it’s a sign that he really trusts and feels safe with you. Talking about our past trauma and hurts is not easy, but with you, it’s a love therapy he’ll never miss for the world.


Always shows off to impress you

This might sound cocky, but it’s actually downright adorable. If he always wants to show off around you and impress you then it’s a sign he got cupid-ed. From showing off his musical skills (playing an instrument), his athleticism, and even his fashion sense. The goal is to get your attention, and if you are thinking of him as you read this, then he already got it.

Know that according to K-dramas, all these actions are viewed as very romantic and not really realistic so don’t be too disappointed if you don’t get the over-the-top date of your dreams. Real relationships should be based on communication, trust, and mutual respect. Don’t go for any toxic dude all in the name of “I love bad boys”.

I wish you well in your journey to finding true love 😘 Chingus.
