Female lead who follows their childhood male friend to another city only to be disappointed by him.
Female lead learns, grows and works on improving herself into a confident individual for her own sake.
Male lead falls in love female lead while helping her.
Recommended by sealight
the main female protagonists are very similar both are a bit quirky and very silly while frightening to people around them sometimes. Also i think it's funny how seriously the situations which could be fairly simple are taken.

Both are about women who are dumped by their superstar boyfriends. Skip Beat! is more about revenge against ex-boyfriend, whereas Lovesick is more about getting over ex-boyfriend (kinda).
