I'm looking for dramas where the main character is introduced as being weak, but it's later revealed in the show that they actually possess a unique skill/power that most other characters don't know about. Can I get some recommendations, pls?




Possibly...

  • The Atypical Family (ML's daughter is considered a disappointment to the family because they believe she has no powers but she actually does)
  • Colourful Bone (ML is a mistreated slave without free will who has supernatural abilities and a secret identity
  • Love and Redemption (FL is a very naïve girl with an incredibly powerful dual secret identity)
  • Ever Night (FL is sort of overlooked by everybody but has a very powerful secret identity and is literally prophesied to end the world)
  • Butterflied Lover (FL seems like a weak girl but has supernatural abilities)
  • Men Zhu (ML is introduced as a nobody who becomes the FL's servant but he's actually a prince who has the secret of how to save her people)
  • Kanakana (FL is a young child who can secretly read minds)

Thank you. You always there answereing my recommendation reqestes.

  • Love Between Fairy and Devil: FL is a flower spirit with only weak magic but it's later revealed that she is the reincarnation of someone incredibly powerful 
  • Knight Flower: FL is a simple widow by day, vigilante by night
  • Healer: similar to Knight Flower, ML has a hidden vigilante identity but spends his days as a twinkish reporter
  • My Lady General: weak and sickly ML uses his weak status to get into the FL's household but he's actually a schemy lil snake haha and has a network of spies at his disposal iirc
  • Extremely Perilous Love & The Only Girl You Haven't Seen: in both the ML is pretending to be physically weak to trick his enemies - Romance of Tiger and Rose kinda fits this too
  • Lost You Forever: FL has a hidden power locked away in her blood, plus one of the SMLs hides his identity as a powerful and wealthy fox demon
