I want a drama about a guy who gets better through his meeting the FL. And I'm not talking about the Reformed Bad Boy type. I'm talking about the boring type. The guy who either is aimless and lost in life(1), OR is so focused on a single boring goal that he has a stick in his behind and has to schedule every breath he takes(2). 

Examples: 

(1) Revolutionary Love; Dal Ja's Spring

(2)You who came from the Stars,  Eternal Love, Jekyll and I.

Basically before he met the girl he was (1) a 'loser' who was lost in life or (2) a by-the-rule personality with no passion in life who was gonna die from boredom induced heart attack. Then she helps him recapture the essence of life.

I don't care about nationality.

Dinner Mate

Another Miss Oh

Thank you for your suggestions.

Another Miss Oh

I saw Another Miss Oh and didn't even think about it as a boring ML because Eric Mun is my BAE! Haha but you're right, the ML's life is pretty boring in the beginning. 

Dinner Mate seems interesting! I added it to my watchlist. thanks!

I Cannot Hug You 

Buried City to Shut All Lights  - Historical drama


Thank you for the recommendations! From the description it seems that I Cannot Hug You is a role reversal (she's the one who's lost in life?). LOL I cannot really imagine a story about a boring vampire, so I'm intrigued. 

Never heard of the other drama, I'll check it out too. thanks!

I would say that both of them are the ones lost in life aha, the FL helps the ML and the ML helps the FL aha. But I would say it is more the ML who goes out of his comfort zone aha. Both dramas are

 Great! I hope you enjoy them :)

Here are 1 K, 1 J and 1 C that seem to fit, more or less

Thank you so much. The synopsis seems to indicate a Bad Boy type, so he wouldn't be boring enough maybe? But I also know that J-dramas can do wonders with these types of characters so I'll try it. Thanks!

Two of these dramas are on my watchlist, now I have one more incentive to get to it haha. 

Le coup de foudre is a discovery to me. The reviews are glowing, so I'll start with this one I think. Thank you!!

Thank you for your recommendations, and even pointing out which type the character belongs to. I'm really intrigued with Extraordinary You, I really like this type of story. All your suggestions have been added to watchlist

 Thanks!

No problem :) These are some of my fave dramas so I would love to hear what you think of them if you get a chance to watch them! PS. Long Vacation is an older drama so give it at least till the 2nd episode for it to pick up (I almost dropped it half way through the 1st episode but I swear it gets better!)

Ok! It might be a while before I can watch them but once I do I'll let you know.  I tend to like early 2000s dramas though Long Vacation would be the oldest drama I've watched, I'll keep it in mind.
