Drama Recommendations for INTP / Reserved & Introverted Female Leads

Feb 22, 2025 10:45 pm

Hi everyone :)

I’m searching for dramas/movies or books/manga with female leads who are quiet, introverted, awkward, or just a little emotionally distant, maybe even a bit weird or melancholic. I really enjoy characters who aren’t overly expressive but have depth and complexity. Bonus points if the drama explores their inner world, personal growth or romance.

Some examples of intps and intp like characters i like: chu wanning from the husky and his white cat shizun, bae doona's character in the silent sea, jung yumi's character in the school nurse files, eyleen from eyleen, mijeong from my liberation notes, maomao from the apothecary diaries, the fl from aloners and jian from my mister.

If you have any recommendations, I’d really appreciate it! Any genre is welcome. Thanks in advance!

i dont know whether this is according to your taste but watch The first Frost
they have a chilling chemistry and the female lead is reserved and quiet with a back story

Love Me, Love My Voice
Amidst a Snowstorm of Love (ish)
My Boss (very ish)
Sweet Combat
The Imperial Coroner

These would fit your conditions I think

Mind you, I dropped Sweet Combat and Imperial Coroner because of pacing (former) and relationship development (latter). My Boss has a ***interesting*** mains' relationship, so just warning you. The first 2 are very slice of life, slow, and sweet (and fluffy).

I totally get what you mean! There’s something really compelling about characters who are quiet or a bit distant but have so much depth beneath the surface. Their inner journeys can be just as powerful as external action. It’s always fascinating to see how they navigate relationships, personal growth, or even just their daily lives in their own unique way.
