I just finished the Cheese in the Trap webtoon. While the I liked the drama adaptation, it does not really do the webtoon justice and now I am sucked into a black hole and on the hunt for something similar to satisfy my craving. So, something like:
- Male lead seems really nice but has a hidden dark/scheming/manipulative side. Kind of like the opposite of those tsundere/jerk-with-a-heart-of-gold leads.
- Female lead is very aware of this side of the ML, maybe even the only one aware since he is good at hiding it
- This dark side is a flaw that gets him into trouble (so it is not portrayed as romantic or badass). Something that makes the female lead or even the drama audience uncomfortable
- Well-written, multifaced characters and female lead plays active role in drama
Given the topic, I am okay with any kind of ending and any country is fine. I know this request is pretty specific so it does not have to be exact but the well-written characters is a must otherwise the entire story will fall flat.
Thank you!
