Hi, I'm interested in finding romantic series/movies in which the female is very leary of men and relationships due to a prior bad relationship or other reason. Thanks in advance.

  • Love to Hate You- FL kind of anti-men. She is quick to see the bad in them. She wants to always have the upper hand and never loses to a man. She plays them before thy can play her type.
  • Call It Love- FL lowkey has daddy issues .Her dad's betrayal affected her views on relationships and by extension men. 
  • When the Camellia Blooms- FL is a single mom and wants to move on with her life even if people judge her for that fact. 
  • Was It Love?- FL still carries the hurt of her last relationship over a decade later
  • A Dream of Splendor- A historical. All the women encounter scum men 

Oh, wonderful! Thanks so much for list. I will definitely look into them.

in addition:

  • Mars [Taiwan / Japan] - FL has traumatic experience
  • Mad For Each Other - FL had an abuser ex
  • it's Okay That is Love - FL has issues with intimacy with men due to her parents affair
  • Be Melodramatic - bad history from past boyfriend
  • Doctors - FL had bad history with father
  • Cheese in a Trap - FL has bad instinct with regards to certain people, esp the ML
  • Love of Sandstorm - (Family drama) Tomboyish Yishan is very critical and skeptical of Haoyang
  • Unrequited Love - FL is innately introverted plus the special relationship she had with ML was stolen without both of thenm knowing
  • Cinderella's Sister - FL is innately very distrusting of people
  • Meloholic - she has a ciscumatance that makes her detached herself from people and be guarded from guys
  • Live [Korea] - FL had a traumatic experience, though this one is not primarily a romantic series

Oh, wow! New ones I've never heard of. Thanks so much!
