(Description has spoilers)
I want to find dramas with ML that have been emotionally destroyed by family, parents, siblings, grandparents or friends. Emotionally wrecked. Physically abused. But they fall in love and the female lead is their anchor, life line, savior, breathing machine ;). I want them to not just be douchebags but actually messed up because they were abused. I want them to desperately want their FL, like a bear hug that can’t let you breath. I want that to be a highlight, important part of his plot. Think nightmares, flashbacks, panic attacks.
Important: A Happy Ending.
Think Weilong in Go Ahead, Seven was his reason to be sane: the way he would hug her when his mom was present: when he had nightmares. Is like he really was living and breathing after feeling so much pain when she was with him and he literally said that. He survived living with his mom cause he would daydream that he was with her, imagining their marriage and even pick their child name. He said if you don’t hold me I will sink. He said you took me home when I was a child and I was yours since then.
Think Park Jin hoon in At a Distance Spring is Green when he starts dating Min Ha and when he relapsed or had nightmares or he was physical abused by his parents he will go in hiding for days hide in his room but when he finally resume to go to classes he sees his girl and runs YES runs towards her and hugs her soo tight and breaths deeply, when he said I normally don’t care if I would get run over a car but today I was almost hit by a car and I cared because I wanted to see you. She kept him sane and in a way alive.

Run On, his dad would hit him and controllled his Life. His girl was his comfort. He didn't care leaving anything behind to be with her because she made him love himself. That just a hug from her made him calm.
Smile Code, Ml had alexithymia—also known as “emotional blindness”— because a trauma. He had nightmares, panick attacks. And the female lead without knowing was his anchor. There’s a part when he is driving and he was speeding 65,70, 75 and she just grasp his wrist and told him to slow down and he breath in and calm himself down. She didn’t know how important she was for him. Problem is that because of his alexithymia he did hurt her ALOT.
New one I found but it wasn’t as noticeable how important she was towards him fixing his traumas because it was talked about almost at the end was Dear HongRang
Thank you.
