One prior relationship could be okay - ideally I would love a lady who's explicitly slept around a lot and enjoyed herself doing it (I know it's a tall order for a cdrama), but in general I do just want to get away from the omnipresent trope of the FL who's innocent/naive about love, even if she's older or mature in other ways.
Unfortunatley I can't think of any dramas that I could confidently say are probably what you're ideally looking / hoping for. But I've listed a bunch of romance dramas that might fit the broader scope of a FL who isn't completely naive and innocent when it comes to love.

Like, an FL who's already dated around, sexually experienced, had relationships, etc., isn't ashamed of it and the show treats it as fine and cool.
- +1 Love to Hate You - The FL has dated many, many men and slept with a lot of them. The dynamic is a bit odd though. They frame it as her mostly using her skills to punish men who were cheaters or abusive. The drama tries hard to be cool about her history. Sometimes it succeeds and sometimes it doesn't.
- Search: WWW - The FL sleeps with the ML the day they meet (the vibes were right). He wanted to start a relationship and she wanted to move on and leave it as a one-night stand. iirc it's implied that she has experience dating and I think her ex might have been a recurring character (but I don't remember the details).
- Jealousy Incarnate - At one point in the story, the FL openly dates the ML and the SML simultaneously because she is torn between them.

Would especially love CDramas with this!
- Zhang Gong Zhu Zai Shang - The FL keeps a harem of handsome bodyguards, it's implied that she's experienced, and she is very confident in terms of flirting and taking the lead in romance and beyond.
In these noona romances, the FL dates / is married / gets back with her ex while the ML is in love with her and there is a strong implication that the FL is getting with the wrong guy(s) and not having a good time of it while "Mr. Right" is hiding in plain sight right under her nose:
The FL had a relationship with another man and got preganant by him but she is forced, in one sense or another, to marry the ML, who she ends up falling for:
The FL only has one confirmed crappy prior relationship:
