1. It's Okay to Not Be Okay

[2?] Would High School King of Savvy work? The ML is a high schooler who at his older brother's request impersonates him, pretending to be a professional in an office environment. The show gets a lot of good laughs out of the ML behaving like the high school kid he is, and the adults in the office performing mental gymnastics to normalize his behavior. This is one of those old school noona romances where the ML is definitively too young, grrr. But it's a truly endearing and quirky drama. The FL is uniquely naive and good-hearted. I don't know if you can truly say the younger brother protects his older brother? It might be a case of his older brother manipulating him? But the effect of the impersonation is to protect the older brother, IIRC.

Does it have to be two brothers or can it be an older brother - younger sister dynamic?

Younger sister is fine. It sounds interesting.

Oh good! 

3. Peaceful Property - between Peach and Pang Pang, I would definitely say she is the more protective sibling

4.Castaway Diva

I check this one on google and it says otherwise. Could you give example how the younger brother protecting the older brother?

4.  Crash Course in Romance -  FL is an older sister to a younger brother whom she takes care of.  

 autumn iris:

Doesn't usually wish for any romance in crime drama, it's better without romance, but maybe:

3. When a Snail Fall in Love (has no romance in the genre, but there's romance)

Let's say I wish the lead actors get married in real life for real, because they're so cute together. Then later I watched them in Joy of Life and think eh why don't they just date for real? But maybe Wang Kai prefer Jiang Xin's type.

Ngl, the reason I think they didn't date is because Wang Zi Wen was probably still with her son's father at that time. Wang Zi Wen had her son maybe a year or two (?) before they started filming WASFIL and OTJ.

24 hours, so


10 titles with a black smith character

Or at least some significant scenes at the forge

Preferably historical titles but modern ones are also fine

Wow, I just know about this son thing. I'm happy for her. I think Chinese actors are really good at hiding their personal life.

I know right! I was so shocked when I found out

3. Flower of evil ml

4. My dearest- fl gilchae did it for couple of episodes before she was kidnapped

6. Thanks for reminding me of the Shaw Brothers film: Crippled Avengers - Lo Meng plays a blacksmith and is one of the band of four disabled heroes. I don't remember scenes of traditional blacksmithing, but he utilizes his skills in astounding ways!

7. The ML's dad is a blacksmith in Douluo Continent

8. Also, I'm pretty sure I remember a forging scene for the umbrella weapons made of sharp, curved blades in the art film Shadow?
