I always like to know these sorts of things ahead of time, but I don't really want to go searching through the spoilers to find it. I figured probably some people are like me and would just want a very simple no-other-spoilers answer to this question.
I can't believe I watched the whole thing. If you asked me what's good about it, I really couldn't tell you, but somehow I watched it anyway. I guess that's its own merit.
If you let me know what specifically you like and don't like, I can narrow down the list. You can also check out…
All of them have happy endings, and none of them leave you wondering why they would even like each other in the first place. A few of them have some jerk behavior, but none of them have that cliche jerk expressionless male lead whose only redeeming quality is that he has money and power and a pretty face.
I will warn you with Bromance that the first episode has a scene with a fortune teller during which they speak very quickly, but it's worth pausing the subtitles to make sure you don't miss it, since that sets up the plot.
Can someone recommend similar C-dramas where the female lead is not a complete air head and doesnt have the annoying…
If you let me know what specifically you like and don't like, I can narrow down the list. You can also check out my profile to see how I rate things. As a Chinese speaker, pretty much all of the dramas on my list are Chinese.

Spoiler for episode 2 below. No spoilers for the rest of the series.
What. Why did they get married? There was literally no reason to get married. He could have just given her money. That would have solved everyone's problems. This makes literally no sense. Logic fail.
So fckıng tired of watchıng getting dead drunk scenes or else story neither characters progress... They had…
Everyone drinks a lot in Korea - it's similar to Russia and Eastern Europe in how much they drink.
Drinking in China is highly gendered. There is a folk belief that drunk people can't lie and always spill their secrets, so they won't do business with a partner without first getting drunk with them. However, women rarely drink. Most of the women I knew in China didn't drink at all, or occasionally had a single drink.
Drinking is considered bad for the body, so men show their manliness by drinking - it's like taking a punch without flinching. The more they can drink without getting drunk, they more manly they seem. For women, not being able to drink shows how gentle and fragile they are. Getting drunk easily or being unable to drink is seen as feminine. It's also considered dangerous for women to drink in public, since someone might hurt them while they're drunk.
Drinking is also a matter of "face" (this word doesn't translate well into English, but it basically means pride or honor). If you offer someone a drink and they refuse it, you will be embarrassed or "lose face". That's why you see the scenes of male leads drinking on the female lead's behalf. He is resolving the awkward situation by accepting the drink so that no one is embarrassed, and protecting the female lead by preventing her from drinking.
