I can think of more orphaned or physically abused kids than neglected kids. But two do come to mind.
7. Love Like the Galaxy - FL Shaosheng, abandoned by her parents as a baby, displeases her paternal female relatives by being a girl (they were hoping to pressure her parents into giving up her twin brother). Their displeasure is so great that they purposely spoil her and withhold education from her. Their intention is not to beat her to death, but to leave her illnesses untreated and her needs unmet.
8. King the Land - ML Goo Won was raised in a loveless, cold, chaebol family after his mother disappeared. His issues with facial expressions stem from the emotional neglect he suffered.
Hmm, I think Love Like the Galaxy is a little bit too much for my request. If I understand correctly, she was abandoned not neglected by parents. What I meant is not available parents like in King the Land (yes, his mother disappeared but his father didn't abandon him, just wasn't presented in the son's life passing his upbringing to the staff
she was abandoned not neglected by parentsAhn Sarang:
Ah, so you're interested in emotional neglect. The meaning I understand for neglect is when a caregiver punts on basic needs, not only emotional but also stuff like healthy food, supervision, medical care, and adequate clothing. Shaosheng's parents were given to understand that her two female relatives were going to raise her, and provide for all those needs. So, yes, she was abandoned by her parents, and that abandonment marks her relationship with them, but the drama emphasizes that her abrasive, rebellious, independent, vindictive personality was incited by the two women who neglected her from infancy to the age of 15. They purposely and systematically withheld not only affection, but also behavioral guidance, deprived her of basic education, gave her poor quality clothing, sent her to the country where food was lacking, and left her without care when she was seriously ill.

Ah, no, I mean if a caregiver punts on basic needs fits too, but in this FL's case her caregivers were relatives and not parents.
Okay, let's count yours as I implied but didn't specify it in my request that a kid should be neglected by parents and not other family members

Right on. I see a similarity between parents handing over their role to relatives and a father passing on parenting duties to his staff. But you're correct, your original prompt doesn't mention parents.
4. Utamaro and His Five Women - Featured is Okiyo, played by Ai Hashimoto. While she's a supporting character, the sequences with her are haunting and beautiful, and for me she's the female lead because my memories of her are impossible to erase. I really love this film, so I hope it's okay for me to share it here.
8. Nevertheless, (see her left wrist)
The one ML drew on her looks like this...
