A Man Who Loves One Woman Fiercely After Overcoming Trauma

Character development in the first male lead like this usually gives the highest pay-off in a romance drama. The setting/genre determines the flavour/nature of the love story but the basis is usually the same: an adult who grew up in a lonely/abandoned/problematic childhood and can finally heal his pain upon finding true love. After overcoming a person's internal struggle, usually the story moves on to the couple trying to overcome the hurdles to their relationship from outside forces like parental objection, second/past love interests and multiple misunderstandings.
