What I’m looking for in this case:
Not a standard-length kdrama (i.e. not 16/32-20 episodes long, either a longer kdrama that isn’t too typical or a regular to long cdrama (since those tend to be longer anyway). Jdramas would be fine too regardless of length since they’re not usually as predictable but rarely fit the other aspects.
Good quality, older or underrated dramas or ones that aren’t typical super welcomed
Male lead does not love female lead from the very beginning but grows to love through a steady pace and interaction & becomes very sacrificial towards her (willing to give up whatever his other objectives are or place her above them) But! he is still an ambitious and/or successful person.
Male & female lead love each other in spite of some challenge or their families being on opposing sides
Male & female lead have a physical relationship (it’s either implied or clear they’re in an adult relationship if ur understanding what I mean lol)
I’d prefer marriage & etc but even in the case of a sad ending, as long as the other aspects are there I’d give it a try
Honestly I’d love to see a whole drama around a couple like Mijoo & Minwoo from Giant. That’s pretty much exactly what I’m looking for.
