Both smart and successful leads with some intimacy

I don't know if they can be compared with Vincenzo's leads relationship but they surely cast Smart and Successful leads in their own fields! The dramas also provide some intimacy and are mainly focus on romance! 

• Love is Sweet (2020) 
• You Are My Hero (2021) 
• Descendants of the Sun (2016) 
• Intense Love (2020) 
• V-Focus (2016) 

• Dr. Romantic 2 (2020)  (Slight and slow-burn romance)

Hyena, Storm Eye, 

 useruser:

thank you for the recommendation  :)  hyena you are recommending is the 2006 one or 2020 one  

I think he/she means 2020, which I haven't seen but don't think it's 2006, this drama has very interesting story line / romance and unusual subject, taboo subject, good drama but couldn't say fits what you wrote :)

 NiSkywalker:

I dropped Vincenzo because I had high expectations and I think ML in fact isn't as smart-badass as the drama suggests, I couldn't see it with facts, anyway what was beginning in Vincenzo I think it's like Cruel City I mean ML is kind of gangster badass smart ambicious guy, but Cruel City is my top favorite, really great drama! romance isn't main theme but it was GREAT with more intimacy than in 99% dramas! also both are strong, smart, I would say successful (girl is cop, guy is gangster)

Both smart and successful leads with  intimacy:

Search: WWW 

Nine: Nine Times Time Travel 

Something in the Rain 

The World That They Live In 

Go Go Squid 2: Dt. Appledog's Time not so intimacy but both very successful, sweet and good chemistry, ML looks at her that way ... omg ))) and he loved her 10 years, was her fan, become successful because of her, to be equal to her (older woman)

i added cruel city to my watchlist looooong time ago but i wasn’t sure if i like it or not so i never start watching but i guess i will give it a try if ML is a badass which is my favorite ML type lol thank you :) 

 useruser:

Lawless lawyer is something for you then. you have a great male lead, a very strong female lead

Kill It  badass contract killer ML and strong beautiful detective FL ^^

The Rise of Phoenixes  Chinese historical 

The Innocent Man 

badass, very charismatic SML/anti hero who is equally main lead:

My Country: The New Age (historical, amazing bromance) also there is another SML (practically 2 mains are guys and that one is real SML - played by Jang Hyuk very badass great character)

Warrior Baek Dong Soo also historical and bromance, though not as great production value, it's old, but anti hero is so charismatic totally shadows protogonist Ji chang wook

Lucifer star of the show is  smart anti hero with  masterpiece revenge

A Man's Story  smart villain/antihero, everyone in this drama fights against him but he never looses and wins the girl from ML

Giant I just finished it, so charismatic anti hero/almost villain and his romance... one of best romance I've seen in dramas, I skipped everything and watched only his story line

Liar Game amazing acting by SML/villain unforgetable character, though it's not romance
