1.Need a recommendation where a FL or a ML is depressed or bitter after a failure but later they become stronger and succeed in something. +/- romance...

2.a recommendation where there's a strong competition between two characters (may be they're two obvious leaders in a group), where a hard-working, diligent and passionate main character loses to their competitor (+/- and is jealous of their success or irritated or just sad). Can be vice-versa as well where the main character loses to a more diligent one


Preferably an asian drama but I can also consider films and any other countries (but where all problems are solved without drug-taking please)

With similar plot where FLs failed in romance but successfully build a business, and meets a better men:

As Beautiful as You

Best Choice Ever

Upcoming drama Blossom

MLs study like crazy and became the top scorer to make his love interest notice him:

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War

We Best Love: No. 1 For You (BL)
