Love at first kick

We all know the story: the overbearing Male Lead falls for the innocent down-to-earth Female Lead. But what's this? She's not interested? She's had enough?

She's...fighting back?!

This is a list of romances that follow the very niche formula of: FL meets ML. ML is a jerk to and/or provokes FL. FL absolutely destroys ML. ML falls in love with FL. FL is unimpressed.

True love.

Props to Ji Sung for making me relate enough to the ML that I don't hate him, but still thoroughly enjoy watching him get arm-locked by the FL over and over again.
4. Kill Me, Heal Me

Korean Drama - 2015, 20 episodes

9.0

This one doesn't technically fit, but there is a scene where the FL takes the ML down, and he later says 'No one's every treated me like that <3' so I'm counting it anyway.
