I used to watch kdrama/cdrama and want to start it again. I've been watching some recently but there's a lot of drops I've been doing so hopefully somebody could recommend me some based on my list (what I can remember anyway)

What I loved way back when:
Meteor garden, Devil Beside You, Hana Kimi, Corner with love, Down with Love, Love 020, Accidentally in love

Recently tried and dropped:

• When I fly towards you - Found it a bit boring. Couldn't really see the romance between them. ML too nonchalant/cold for me to root for.
• Amidst a snowstorm of love - I liked them together, ML's character gave me butterflies but the plot was boring to me so I couldn't finish it
• Love between fairy and devil - I don't like the FL. Found her too childish like and weak
• Everyone loves me - Dragged out the whole FL chasing ML by the time they switch I lost interest because no. I don't mind red flags but ML's rudeness with no early payoff put me off rooting for him so his chasing arc felt suffocating.
• Lighter and Princess - I wanted to like this because the ML and FL seem good together but the plot just isn't doing it for me
• Hidden Love - Forgot why I didn't like this but I don't think I got past ep 2
• A love so beautiful - ML too nonchalant/cold for me. Not into when FL chase ML 90% of their story. 2nd ML should've been the end game
• You are my Glory - can't tell why just couldn't get past ep 2
• Put your head on my should - I remember liking this way back when but upon rewatch I don't anymore felt like their story dragged out now. I love ML's character here though.

Liked:

• Love game in Eastern fantasy - I love ML and FL's scenes together. FL has her play cute moments but wasn't too much to bother and I like her overall personality. Plot is also good to me. Ending could be better though
• Blossom - ML and FL before marriage was so good to watch love the scenes between them. After marriage though the story felt all over and dragged so by the end I couldn't give a damn about the ending plot but I was still rooting for ML and FL because I love them together. The scene of ML sliding down to hug FL. AH!

Paused:

• Pursuit of Jade - I love ML and FL early on but the more I watch feel like nothing is moving forward and it's the same issue over and over... I'm actually more interested to know more about the restaurant owner and the white haired guy now
• My Journey to you - Interested in the story and the characters feel good to watch especially the 2nd couple. ML and FL are fine together but FL's character I don't understand why she's 90% of the time doing 🥺 so it's a bit off putting that she looks confused all the time and ML's sister is so annoying I skip all her scenes. Her character presentation feels so out of place with the vibe of the show.

Currently watching:

• Blossoms in Adversity - Slowburn romance but they have enough scenes together that it's fine and I'm actually interested with the FL's family arc they're doing so I don't mind waiting for their romance journey.

TLDR:

I don't mind who fell first as long as the chasing isn't just carried by the FL...the ML should chase too and do it more. Open to toxic or wholesome. ML or FL being introverted/quiet/nonchalant/cold is fine as long as they're not TOO much. Being too cutesy/childish/immature is fine as well as long it's not the central personality. Happy ending only please. Preferably something that isn't too emotionally heavy angst plot so I don't mind if ML or FL is just coming on top easily.
