Relatively Weak Male MC with a Relatively Strong Female Lead

Robert

So, Im looking for something with a weak male mc, and a strong female mc.  It doesn't necessarily need to be physical strength, it could be that the woman is in a higher position than the male in a company, or the female could be their senior in school, or even simply just the woman being of a higher social status.  But basically shows where the Male MC is weaker than the Female Lead.  I hope this gives you an idea of what kind of stuff Im looking for,    I am currently watching Ugly Alert, so, no need to suggest that one

Strong Woman Do Bong Soon (physically strong female lead)

Witch's Court (really smart and sassy female lead)

Bring It On, Ghost (physically strong female lead)

Reply 1988 (confident female lead, shy male lead <-- depends on who you view as the male lead though)

I haven't watched this myself yet, but this was recommended by Dramabeans in this forced cohabitation article (a trope I love):  

That Fool (aka Accidental Couple):  Accidental Couple (also known as That Fool), in which a movie star hires a regular guy to pose as her husband in order to avoid a scandal with her actual boyfriend. The hero clearly recognizes that it’s a business deal and his “wife” is out of his league, yet he still demands respect when she tries to dismiss him the way she’s used to doing with everyone. His quiet dignity is swoonworthy (props to Hwang Jung-min for an excellent performance), and as viewers we fall in love with his decency along with the heroine, as she slowly begins to realize what a treasure she has by her side, and decides to fight for him.

Innocent man- the girl os of higher status

Tatta hitotsu no koi- again she is rich and he is poor

A love so beautiful- secondary couple - the girl is strong and brave where the guy is shy.. i personally loved that girl.. she was very supportive to her friends

Strong woman- physically strong female 

High society- the girl is rich 

Gokusen - the girl is teacher the guy is student- but if u r looking for romance, there is no romance in it

Across the Ocean to See You - female lead is male lead's superior in their company

Date - female lead is technically much more accomplished than male lead(?)

The Innocent Man -  Yep, the girl is rich and the male does things for money. It's been a while since I've watched it but the girl here is strong and clever

YONG PAL - Similar to the Innocent man, both the male leads have a background in surgeries/ medicines .. The girl here is also rich and Smart, 'bad ass woman'.. Adorably sweet to the Male Lead but scary af when facing her enemies.
