Please help me out of my drama slump with a good historical drama rec!

My watchlist (i forget to update this sometimes but i did my best in trying to remember most and update it before linking)

I have watched some great dramas lately (listed below) and now i am kind of in a slump. Currently watching: The princess' Gambit. Only just started and so far it's going okay i think. But in the meantime I am not feeling super excited like I was with these other dramas. I couldn't wait to finish my whole day to get to bed and start watching. I am hoping to get some recs from you all who have most likely been watching dramas must longer than I have.

Criteria:
- not a fan of fantasy (mostly due to how the effects are really overused and it's distracting, but if it's minimal then I am willing)

- not a child like female lead. i don't need her to be a warrior or a total baddie, but please no baby voice and not annoying

- absolute FACE CARDDDDD ML. i'm sorry for this, but i'm just a girl. please give me hotness.

- no time travel/gender swapping

- can they please fall in love and acknowledge it early on or at least halfway through the show. i am too impatient to wait until the last 2 episodes for them realize what's happening.

- skinship? not a must but i feel let down with only 1 or 2 minor kiss scenes :(

Dramas i LOVE:

  • pursuit of jade
  • blossoms of power
  • fated hearts
  • prisoner of beauty

Dramas i thought were okay:

  • love like the galaxy
  • legend of the female general
  • the double
  • blossom

Dramas i do not like:

  • love between fairy and devil
  • love in the clouds
  • story of pearl girl

Appreciate you all!
