So, what Im looking for is something with a male protagonist/lead who is secretive about his past, or kind of cool-y withdrawn because of some tragic past, like Eun Dae Goo from You're All Surrounded, or Choi Moo Gak from The Girl Who See's Scents.   Some romance would be preferred, but isnt necessary, but if there is romance, I would like for it not to be a love triangle.   Any theme/setting is fine, really.

Thanks for any help with this.

Hi Robert

Unfortunately most that come to my mind do have a love triangle, at least at the beginning. But they are not particularly important and none are serious or continue to the end. In other words the main couple becomes obvious very early on.

Melo's with Romance
Secret
Innocent Man
Sorry, I love you
Crazy for You

Action + Romance
Healer

Rom Com's (with a bit of Makjang as is typical of any Korean drama)
Secret Garden
Heart to Heart
City Hall
The Greatest Love
The Master's Sun

Hopefully you will enjoy some of those.

@Luna, yes, that's ok if its not a serious love triangle, and thank you for the list, I will add them to my PTW and get on them as soon as I am done with what I am watching now (Bitter Blood, Jdrama)
Bara no nai Hanaya
I Remember You
Pinocchio came to mind though it has a bit of love triangle.
