I've watched Tori and Emi in Love for Beginners and I like their chemistry there so I started this.
However SLS is really strong in this one. I blame the writers / manga author for making Tamaki's character way more interesting. The whole time I'm not convinced Aruto did like Nao. There should be some scenes where he's jealous or shown his feelings. Oh well. At least I get to know Kaku Kento.
Wtf did I just watch. I randomly open the first episode in Viki and peeked at the ending since I'm curious on Yokohama Ryusei. Not sure if I'm going to continue. Viki really do pick weird and random JDrama shows to license.
I love this. Yamaken and Ai are cute together. Their relationship is very warm and I really hope one day some director/writer can cast them together for the second movie where they finally met after 10 years.
This was a big mess but so good. Such a guilty pleasure drama. Thank you for introducing me to Dori. Now on to watch all his other "interesting" dramas.
Lee Jun Ho and Lee Se Young is in talk now as the leads. I guess they ditched Park Hye Soo due to scandal and Kim Kyung Nam already has a 50 episode drama in schedule.
You can try Story of Minglan. Not sure if it fills your bill since the smart one here is the FL. Others maybe…
Are you asking for Joy of Life or the dramas I recommended? Joy of Life is not harem-tropey. The hero only have one women. Yanxi Palace as mentioned by comment before is harem heavy while Minglan is not. Minglan is also my current favorite CDramas. I'm still watching Joy of Life.

Kamiki is really a weird guy but I'm warming up to his otaku side. Gonna start watching his dramas after this.
