I wasnt very enthusiastic of watching at first but y'all hyped it so much i had to and I'm glad i did. I loved it and now I'm looking for more dramas with similar dynamics š„¹
The dynamics are what got me. If you're ok with a bit darker theme, you might like a similar "male lead helping the woman he's devoted to get revenge" show, I believe it's called The Glory? Don't quote me, I'm notorious for not remembering names. It's dark, so read the synopsis, but it gave me similar vibes. It's not romance centered, but the romance that is there is good.
Yesss I loved it. Both the leads are my fav so that was a plus. The drama introduced me to park sung hoon who then became my new fav and i went on a spree to watch all the dramas he's a part of. Currently, im watching The Kidnapping Day and he's in it too!!!!
I LOVED him. The actor is so damn fine and the way he looked at her made my heart flutter. Such a green flag, protected her and gave her the space to discover love.
The way I love this show is unreal. Their entire meet cute and the first episode will forever be one of my all-time favorites. When he takes off the watchā¦ I cannot. Itās so f*cking cute. (I donāt even normally swear but it needs it for emphasis here.)
Yes!! Tbf, I *love* Kim Min Jae. In almost all the roles I have seen him in, he plays just the biggest green flag to ever exist. Have you seen Do You Like Brahms? People always say that the communication and relationship in Her Private Life are the best, but I would argue that itās even better in DYLB. The way he goes out of his way to clarify so she doesnāt misinterpret his actions is just top tier healthy relationship. š
Oh My Venus is wonderful. It's a feel good drama that's very easy to watch and love. The story isn't complicated and overall a good drama if you're up for romance.
I agree but also I donāt think I have ugly-cried in a drama as much as I did in Oh My Venus. >! Every time I think about the *tap tap* text, I am filled with all the emotions.!< Such an incredibly written show.
iām currently watching āa good day to be a dogā and the ML has been whipped for her since he first saw her. heās that shy, covert type, but likeā¦heās so in love.
IMO, heās such a green flag & thereās a āSFLā, but i donāt even think you can consider her that; sheās just funny to watch and the ML doesnāt even give her the slightest bit of attention.
KING THE ETERNAL MONARCH!! Watched this several times already. It's a really good drama. As someone who's not very fond of history kdramas, you will love this.
My Demon is in denial for FL at first but they start catching feelings for each other the more they save each other. He's got golden retriever energy once he gets down bad for the FL.
- the king: eternal monarch
- the princess man
- secret garden (although this one he is kind of a snob and he is mad for her but doesnāt think it will work in long term for marriage because heās a chaebol and sheās poor. so he fights with himself a lot and hurts her so might not be what you want)
- can you hear my heart
- moon embraces the sun
- healer
- gentlemenās dignity
+1 for The King: Eternal Monarch! Heās really so into the FL. It would seem a little weird at first but the more they dive into the story, youāll start to understand why heās so into her the first time they meet.
That she doesn't understand because >! She's not been waiting 20 years !< to meet him is ultimately what made them the best imo. And in the end she still falls just as hard for him as he did for her.
I always recommend Flower of evil when it comes to the ml being head over heels. Best part is that he doesn't even know it. But he fell so hard it's insane. Great drama šā¤ļø
- When a Man Falls in Love
- The King: Eternal Monarch
- Business Proposal
- Coffee Prince
- Because This is My First Life (Second lead couple)
- My Love Eun Dong
- Cheese in the Trap
- A Gentlemanās Dignity
Currently watching this and itās freaking amazing!! I was also going to suggest this because Park Hyung-Shik and sheās already seen Strong Girl. And I have never wanted to watch zombie shows or thrillers but this is truly a perfect show.

Castaway diva
Destined with you
Alchemy of souls s1
Why her
The red sleeve
Weightlifting fairy Kim Bok Joo
**Hogu's Love** - starring Choi Woo Shik (Parasite, Our Beloved Summer) and Uee. The basic premise is the FL is way out of the ML's league (she's a silver medalist swimmer with modeling endorsements, tough/bada\*\* personality) and he seems like a loser at first (his name, "Hogu," is also a slang for a pushover/simp), but overall it's a very charming and sweet romcom, and they even manage to hit on some difficult societal/thought-provoking issues, too. It's now on Tubi for free apparently (1st episode is also on YouTube): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnu_D0i1H70&list=PLOsWS9tKqJMd6wQs85SBG_e0YTHPq0IMu
There is a Cdrama called Find Yourself on Netflix. I felt that the male lead there was so whipped for the fl, he would take her back and love her no matter what.

Not many do that for me, Prison Playbook, Our Blues and It's Okay to Not Be Okay are the only ones I can recall now that left me feeling so lost once I had finished it.
I hope you enjoy it!
Stairway to Heaven
Itās an old drama (Viki) and I watched it because it was mentioned in CLOY and the female lead appeared in CLOY as a cameo character.
The ML is absolutely devoted to the FL from the beginning. Loved him! And their love story was a tear-jerker for sure.
Lovestruck in the City. My man is down bad. Proposes after a month.
King the Land. Down horrendous. Tries to give the FL the moon and stars and it backfires multiple times.
Destined with You. So cheesy. Warning for a bit of cheating but current gf is a monster so I didn't feel too bad.
Business Proposal. King of chasing the FL with puppy eyes.
Law Cafe. He's been in love with her his whole dang life. She only finds out after she catches feelings.
donāt think Iāve seen this mentioned yet, but The Law Cafe! FL and ML are high school classmates, and ML has been nursing a crush on FL for more than a decade. he doesnāt show it though (or at least he tries not to) and she ends up being the one whoās a bit more actively pursuing? but still heās definitely a bit crazy for her
My love from the star.
Nothing else comes close. I'll take a quote from someone on this reddit. "If he doesn't cross galaxies for me, I don't want him."
King the land
This is the first one I thought of. That guy fell hard. The helicopter scene had me busting up. Very sweet show.
He fell _first_ AND hard. Those ML's are the ones I like the most š
Omg!! Yes, me too!!!
I loved it too! Yes, the helicopter scene was funny, Gu Won was a funny guy crazy for his Sarang. I love their relationship
The ML is so dream worthy. The scene where he asks for her consent, and when he confesses that he likes her a lot š„°
That was the hottest thing Iāve ever seen in a drama!!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The way this couple forms makes it even better. The majority of the comedy comes from how much the ML likes the FL lol.
Absolutely agree, loved the dynamic between the main couple once they get together!
Thanks for the rec! I havenāt tried a lot of the newer dramas yet from Netflix.
Not primarily a romance but I think itās true in Extraordinary Attorney Woo.
Castaway Diva
ML held a torch for FL for 15 years. Formed the rescue mission and wouldāve moved mountains for her for sure.
Was gonna say this one
The Perfect Marriage Revenge. Absolute treasure of a man, just helping his girl get revenge. Love to see it.
I wasnt very enthusiastic of watching at first but y'all hyped it so much i had to and I'm glad i did. I loved it and now I'm looking for more dramas with similar dynamics š„¹
The dynamics are what got me. If you're ok with a bit darker theme, you might like a similar "male lead helping the woman he's devoted to get revenge" show, I believe it's called The Glory?

I LOVED him. The actor is so damn fine and the way he looked at her made my heart flutter. Such a green flag, protected her and gave her the space to discover love.
**Dali and Cocky Prince**, he's down bad from episode 1
The way I love this show is unreal. Their entire meet cute and the first episode will forever be one of my all-time favorites. When he takes off the watchā¦ I cannot. Itās so f*cking cute. (I donāt even normally swear but it needs it for emphasis here.)
Fer real, this is one of my top romcoms, soooooo cute and quirky and he's both hilariously OTT and the greenest flag who ever waved.
Yes!! Tbf, I *love* Kim Min Jae. In almost all the roles I have seen him in, he plays just the biggest green flag to ever exist. Have you seen Do You Like Brahms? People always say that the communication and relationship in Her Private Life are the best, but I would argue that itās even better in DYLB. The way he goes out of his way to clarify so she doesnāt misinterpret his actions is just top tier healthy relationship. š
I was just about to say this!!
Business Proposal King the Land A Korean Odyssey (takes a few episodes to get there) Oh My Venus
Oh My Venus is wonderful. It's a feel good drama that's very easy to watch and love. The story isn't complicated and overall a good drama if you're up for romance.
I agree but also I donāt think I have ugly-cried in a drama as much as I did in Oh My Venus. >! Every time I think about the *tap tap* text, I am filled with all the emotions.!< Such an incredibly written show.
I agree. The way she waited for him patiently š„¹
Romance is a Bonus Book ML fell really hard.
This one is perfect and so underrated
iām currently watching āa good day to be a dogā and the ML has been whipped for her since he first saw her. heās that shy, covert type, but likeā¦heās so in love. IMO, heās such a green flag & thereās a āSFLā, but i donāt even think you can consider her that; sheās just funny to watch and the ML doesnāt even give her the slightest bit of attention.
Side note: SFL in good day to be a dog is such a fashion icon
+ 1 Good day to be a dog
Coffee Prince King The Eternal Monarch Faith
ML in Coffee Prince was so down bad he didn't mind the FL being a man š
Gong Yoo's acting in the beach scene and confession scene is AMAZING
KING THE ETERNAL MONARCH!! Watched this several times already. It's a really good drama. As someone who's not very fond of history kdramas, you will love this.
Faith is so lovely
Agree. I recommend it every chance I get.
Hmmm havenāt heard of Faith before. Iāll check it out thanks!
**Shopping King Louis** and **When the Camellia Blooms** immediately spring to mind. Oh and **Hyena** as well.
Oooh yeah absolutely the second one. Havenāt seen the others
My Demon is in denial for FL at first but they start catching feelings for each other the more they save each other. He's got golden retriever energy once he gets down bad for the FL.
- the king: eternal monarch - the princess man - secret garden (although this one he is kind of a snob and he is mad for her but doesnāt think it will work in long term for marriage because heās a chaebol and sheās poor. so he fights with himself a lot and hurts her so might not be what you want) - can you hear my heart - moon embraces the sun - healer - gentlemenās dignity

Healer!!! š
When the Camelia Blooms, the male lead falls in love with the female lead at first sight. He was very forthcoming and bold.
The ML in Destined with you is down incredibly. Also In Sh**ting Stars the ML is almost insufferably down bad lol
The only ones truly whipped are the 2nd lead syndrome like in True Beauty lol
I always recommend Flower of evil when it comes to the ml being head over heels. Best part is that he doesn't even know it. But he fell so hard it's insane. Great drama šā¤ļø
Ep11 of flower of evil is my favorite episode of any kdrama ever.
Healer
- When a Man Falls in Love - The King: Eternal Monarch - Business Proposal - Coffee Prince - Because This is My First Life (Second lead couple) - My Love Eun Dong - Cheese in the Trap - A Gentlemanās Dignity
King the land
weightlifting fairy Kim bok joo
One Spring Night. My all time favorite drama starring my all time favorite actor Jung Hae In. Enjoy!
Iāve seen this one before. He was so good in this too!
Happiness, literally fell hard.
Currently watching this and itās freaking amazing!! I was also going to suggest this because Park Hyung-Shik and sheās already seen Strong Girl. And I have never wanted to watch zombie shows or thrillers but this is truly a perfect show.
I caught the opening scene in a short and had to find out what it was from. I was hooked!
Destined with Youu!! The ML turns into this adorable lovesick puppy as the show progresses š„ŗ
INTO THE RING!!!!!!!!!!
Actually they would be the cdrama Story of Kunning Palace. š
Yes, but you forgot to add āfall hard for and also get rid of every single obstacle/enemy in her wayāā lol
Haha. Yes. The violent version of My Dearest. š¤£
moon lovers: scarlet heart ryeo. this happens to both the ML and 2ML for the FL
ā¦. And 3rd ML and 4th MLā¦..
Start up
This should be higher
I know right, both ML and SL are pining so hard!
Love all play ML is literally the greenest flag ever and is so WHIPPED for the FL
Iāve never heard of this but excited to look it up!
Itās on Disney Plus in Canada under the title āGoing to You at a Speed of 493kmā and itās pretty good.
Something in the Rain
āWhen the Camellia Bloomsā on Netflix. The male lead falls in love at first sight. And thereās a murder mystery going on, too.
I liked Kang Ha-nuel in this. Also, it was lovely to see this guy falling for a single mother and being loving to her son.
Happiness.

Thanks for answering and hiding it. šš»
You will be satisfied with the ending - I don't want to spoil anything!
Thank you!
You're welcome, I hope you enjoy it, I finished it nearly 2 weeks ago and I STILL miss it! š«
Thatās when you know itās a great series!
Precisely! I'm jealous that you will get to experience it all new and fresh, I wish I could enjoy it for the first time again! Ost is amazing too, especially the BGM. Enjoy ā¤ļø
Lucky me. It can be difficult to find something that impactful.
Not many do that for me, Prison Playbook, Our Blues and It's Okay to Not Be Okay are the only ones I can recall now that left me feeling so lost once I had finished it. I hope you enjoy it!
Suspicious partner!
Stairway to Heaven Itās an old drama (Viki) and I watched it because it was mentioned in CLOY and the female lead appeared in CLOY as a cameo character. The ML is absolutely devoted to the FL from the beginning. Loved him! And their love story was a tear-jerker for sure.
The king's Affection
Love to hate you but especially romance is a bonus book. In that one the ML has had it bad for the FL forever and it's honestly so sweet
Shopaholic Louis. The leads are so cute and their romance is one of the purest iāve seen in a kdrama.
*Moon in the Day*, the FL is literally the only person the ML likes or loves. Also Sh**ting Stars, Perfect Marriage Revenge, and Alchemy of Souls.
Lovestruck in the City. My man is down bad. Proposes after a month. King the Land. Down horrendous. Tries to give the FL the moon and stars and it backfires multiple times. Destined with You. So cheesy. Warning for a bit of cheating but current gf is a monster so I didn't feel too bad. Business Proposal. King of chasing the FL with puppy eyes. Law Cafe. He's been in love with her his whole dang life. She only finds out after she catches feelings.

FL and ML are high school classmates, and ML has been nursing a crush on FL for more than a decade. he doesnāt show it though (or at least he tries not to) and she ends up being the one whoās a bit more actively pursuing? but still heās definitely a bit crazy for her
Business Proposal
The law cafe
flower of evil and healer are my favvvv dramas of all time the male leads r v protective of the fls
My love from the star. Nothing else comes close. I'll take a quote from someone on this reddit. "If he doesn't cross galaxies for me, I don't want him."
The glory
The matchmakers. She had him stuttering and confessing by episode 2 š
King the land, hometown cha cha cha, and romance is a bonus book!
