ML had a dead ex girlfriend?

Any drama where ML had a girlfriend he really loved but she died. and now he is having a hard time to emotionally invest onto anyone. but FL likes him?

Also : i am not asking for anything like kluen chiwit or secret, where fl is the reason for ml's girlfriend's death

Faith sort of (ML's fiancée died and he has a hard time letting himself fall in love with the FL, but both of them kind of recognize their feelings around the same time, I'd say.)

 Akimore:

I think Rich Man had this situation, but I don't really remember.

Rich man was about his mom, I think. I mean, the original version was about his mom, and that is the one that I watched. So I am just making assumptions rn

• A Piece of Your Mind - ML's first love dies. 
• Itaewon Class - ML's first love remains at arm's length / never works out. 

Honourable mentions:

• Alchemy of Souls - The ML and FL fall in love, they both die (more or less), and then they both come back to life. The FL loses her memories, has a different face / body, and is hidden away from the world, so the ML believes the FL is dead. When they meet again, the FL falls in love with the ML first, while he remains hung up on his past feelings... for her.
• The King's Affection - The ML and FL fall for each other when they are kids. Then the ML's father kills the FL's brother (forcing her to take her brother's place as crown prince) and also kills her friend. When the ML and FL meet again years later, the ML searches for the FL (his first love), not realizing that the FL (now the crown prince) is the palace maid he's looking for. The FL recognizes the ML as her first love almost immediately, but resists any lingering feelings for him at first because of her position, some misunderstandings and the bad blood between her and the ML's father.
• Witch's Romance - IIRC, the ML is the first to catch feelings for the FL and does more pursuing than the FL, but there's a point where his lingering feelings for his deceased girlfriend get in the way of him moving forward with the FL.
• Because This Is My First Life - IIRC, the ML got his ex-girlfriend pregnant when he was young (a university student?) and his overbearing parents rejected her. She either had an abortion or a miscarriage and they broke up. It messed with the ML enough that he didn't date after that, and became obsessed with owning a home / having financial stability.
• Back From the Brink - The SFL (mostly) killed the ML (and did kill many elves who were the ML's friends / who he felt responsible for protecting) on the day the ML and FL were supposed to get married. It traumatized the ML, which made it difficult for him to accept his feelings for the FL later on.
