sunshine ML

i’m kinda tired of watching dramas where the male leads are cold or nonchalant, so i wanted to ask for recommendations where the dynamic is sunshine ML x grumpy FL or sunshine ML x sunshine FL. i'm open to recommendations from any country and any genre (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶) .ᐟ.ᐟ

sunshine ML x grumpy/depressed FL

• Falling for You 
• Flower Boy Next Door 
• From Me to You 

sunshine ML x sunshine FL

• The Princess Is a Rabbit Fairy (maybe?)

thanks for the recommendations, i’ve already saved them all!

I see you have Happiness on your Plan to Watch, and you like a range of dramas in terms of how dark and how romantic. Happiness has an underplayed but very present love line, and it's about an epidemic that reveals flaws in society. It's a love story where the ML supports and fights alongside the FL, as he waits for her to develop feelings for him. He's the opposite of hard to get.

How do you feel about older woman romances? It's a thing for the younger man in those to be a total green flag. 

i really like older woman romance, so i’ll explore that tag later!

Happiness

Absolutely! Couldn't agree more.

• Strong Girl Bong Soon (Same Actor as Happiness btw)
• Cheat On Me, if You Can (A very interesting pair)
• Seoul Busters (Not a Romance but they are all Sunshines)

And 3 movies : The Villainess (imo), Reign of Assassins (Historical Sunshine ML if you will), My Love Story!! (Ultimate Sunshine ML, might hurt your eyes!)

thank yoou!! 🫶🏻 i've actually seen the anime that the last one was based on, i had no idea it had a live-action

You're welcome! ( ˙꒳˙ ) Honestly, Suzuki Ryohei's performance is legendary—he captured Takeo's energy perfectly! I’m so glad you’ve got a 'new' version of a favorite to enjoy. Happy watching! 🌞✨
