Dramas that feature a ML who is hopelessly, unreasonably devoted to the FL
I'm looking for Asian dramas that feature a ML who is hopelessly, unreasonably devoted to the FL.
For further clarity, I'm looking for a dynamic similar to that of Biryeom and Moora in "The Bride of Habaek". For those who haven't watched the show, these are the traits that mainly drew me to their relationship :
Moora is the sfl in the drama who is love with the ml, and Biryeom is the sml who has been in love with Moora for years. Since Moora is the sfl, the drama doesn't shy away from revealing the unpleasant parts of her personality, She can be mean, arrogant, expresses jealousy even when unwarranted, etc. I really enjoyed the fact that even a character that can be classified as a mean girl was so devotedly pursued by someone who is canonically rich, attractive, and desirable
At one point, Biryeom admits to have manufactured problems between the ml and his ex-gf, because Moora requested him too. He even offers to seduce the FL, to distract her from the ml, to quench Moora's jealousy. He repeatedly reiterates that he's only on Moora's side and no one else's, even when being on Moora's side means helping an ML that he doesn't necessarily like. This is the most important aspect of the dynamic that I'm looking for. Biryeom repeatedly helps Moora in pursuing in the ML, and in tormenting the FL, neither of which are advantageous to him. Despite being prone to jealousy and recklessness, his desire to see her happy is greater than his selfishness.
I’m especially looking for shows where the male lead actively helps the female lead in her pursuits, even if those pursuits involve jealousy or emotional complexity.
I would prefer the ML and the FL with this dynamic to end up together, but at the very least, would like the love to no longer be unrequited at the end
Here is a complete list of the dramas I've watched so far (ranked from most to least favorite):
Flower of evil : To say that I adored this drama would be an understatement. I love how wholeheartedly, obliviously in the love the ML was, and how morally strong and consistent the FL was.
No gain no love : Again one of my favorites. I almost instantly fell in love with the FL (I love selfish fl ig lol), and loved the sweet and mature relationship between her and the ML
Oh my Venus : I loved the maturity of the ML and FL's relationships, and how they were genuinely such good people who can't stop themselves from helping people in need. They were such a cute, unproblematic couple, and I have to say I prefer that over the typical relationship drama.
Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha : I enjoyed the spiky banter between the leads so so much, and appreciated the realistic progression of their relationship
