Looking for dramas with romance or story that draws you right in the screen

Tadara

Hey so for the last time I've been hit by a drama slump and I can't seem to find anything I can get myself to watch! Please help me out! My watched list on here is not even close to being updated so I'll just write it on here what I'm looking for. Also, I've been browsing through the other recommendation feeds, but most of them are already pretty old, so I'm looking for an updated version.

-Any country is fine

-I'm a sucker for romance mixed with a good story line; Park Ji Eun Drama are a good example (e.g. You who came from the stars) but I want more hugging, kissing or couple scenes

-Please avoid love triangles as they usually just mean that the FL is indecisive until the very end or just can't seem to draw a line

-I like myself a somewhat superior male lead (richer, stronger, older), the FL should at least know how to say what she wants, but I also love a badass FL

- I can take any drama, cry scenes, misunderstandings, etc as long as it's not just one sentence that is needed to say that hinders the story to develop

-Drama genre is also open, anything from family, revenge, slice of life as long as the main couple is the center of it

Here's some dramas that I really enjoyed and are all-time favorites of mine:

Korea: Healer, W, Descendants of the sun and the above mentioned Park Ji Eun (those are iconic for a reason)

China: Eternal Love (not the Peach blossom), Lucky's first love; Enlighten me my love was also great

Thai: Hua Jai Sila, The Sand Princess, prob also Kom Faek

Japan: Pretty Proofreader, Coffee and Vanilla (also the only JDramas I've watched fully, can't really get into them)

I'm really looking forward to your recommendations, please I am desperate ^^

Also I'd love to help you out if you need to as well or just wanna have a good rant on Dramas :) I love to hear from you and stay healthy!

Try:

  • Beauty Inside (fantasy romcom) - ML is a director and heir to a big airline company and FL is a popular actress definitely not a doormat. No love triangle whatsoever
  • Something about 1% - ML is a director and is the possible heir of a hotel chain company, FL id an ordinary grade school teacher that has grit and principled. everytime the ML is being his ultra alpha-a**hole self, she brings him back to reality where she cant be bossed around. There is a love triangle but its an non entity and delusions of the SFL
  • What happaned to secretary Kim - he is the CEO/president of a big company, she id her secretary. She has always been in his beck and call until she decides to quit where our story starts. And the once perfect secretary cant be made to change her mind to stay , she wil live her life the ways she wants it, and it is stomping on all his well planned control and life. Therr is SML, but again an none entity, just a bit pf plot device 
  • Nueng Nai Suang (period 1940's thai drama) - he is rich heir/noble (?), FL is the adopted/fostered child of her wealthy aunt. They were childhood enemies and thry begin again their bickering as he gets back from his study abroad. Hr and everyone else thinks she should be in awe of him, she just remembers all the bullying, and just want to nothing to do with him. Again a none entity SFL. 
  • Love O2O - ML is the 'god' of the university -- smart, clean cut, heartthrob-- while FL is quite popular herself for being pretty and smart. No conflicts and misunderstanding jist light fluffy high school romsnce
  • Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Dokomademo (medical romance jdrama) - ML is the gruff and talented devil doctor, FL is the rookie nurse who has harbored the biggest crush on him since she was in highschool. Shemay giggle and cringe and be mortified everytime hr screams her mistakes, but little but little vy little she shows and awes him with her competence. at theNo love triangle
  • Tale of Nokdu (historical romance) - ML grews up as a poor island boy (secret birth thing) who goes to the ciyy to find out why assassins are put to get them, FL is an orphan fallen from grace noble girl with spunk and attitude and smarts, now training in the gisaeng house. Cross dressing, investigations and hijinx insues. There is a SML, but the FL was pretty crystal clear that she doesnt like him, he is just obsessed with FL.
