Thanks already saw most of them but I don't know yi san and I've never watched  the imperial doctress :) So thank you I'll give them a try !!

Chihayafuru - not really focused on romance more like life-sports-school but its really cute. FL is a really good player of card game karuta

My Girl (2005) - iirc FL is "people smart", she can do many things the con-artist kind of way

Dae Jang Geum - with the added bonus that she really existed and really was prodigiously talented.

Thank you!! Is there a kiss scene in chihayafuru or good chemistry? 

My girl (2005); the trailer seems a little childish or is that a wrong impression?

I forgot about that one :) I planned to watch it but hesitated because it's quite old maybe I'll give it a try this time :)

It's long and repetitive in the middle section, with what seem like endless cooking contests, but in an age when K-Dramas refuse to admit the possibility that a woman can be a genius at anything, while making almost every male lead a "genius" something, it is refreshing to watch a basically true-to-life story of a woman who succeeded by backing up her natural talent and intelligence with sheer hard work. This is so rare, I even started a thread about it

i still havent seen the last movie oh chihaya but its more focused on the game and friendship. there is a sort of love triangle, pining and some unrequired love but they are all into the card game a lot :D. the chemistry was really good for me (but im also a big fan of sports animes in general)

Now that i think of it, im not sure if My Girl really fits what you are looking for - it'S been a long time since i watched it haha. Its also kinda old drama so i guess many things and story tropes wont translate well into this decade. FL was crazy in a similar way like the FL in Marriage, Not Dating
