Like she thinks he's incredibly poor but actually he's a billionaire or she thinks he's an unemployed nobody yet he is her boss, or similar. 

A journey to meet love - fl thinks ml is  a good for nothing guy/thug but he's actually undercover police

healer - fl thinks ml is a weak naive guy but he's actually really strong and smart

shopping king louie - fl thinks ml is poor and homeless but he's actually a millionaire

  • Cheongdamdong Alice

These are only partial matches I think, I think you're looking for sort of funny cinderella story where the FL takes pity on the ML first with a charade ensuing.


Shopping King Louie    (rich guy with amnesia, rescued by a poor girl that thinks he is homeless)

Terius Behind Me    (he is a spy, but she thinks he's a jobless guy that becomes a nanny for her kids)

The King: Eternal Monarch    (she is a detective, arrests him thinking he is some crazy person or homeless)

Dong Yi    (she thinks he's just a police officer, but he's the king and she is a slave in the palace)

100 Days My Prince    (another amnesia story, this time the guy is the crown prince who doesn't know who he is, forced into a marriage with a strange woman...)


I'd like some recommendations on this kinda drama as well, I thought I had watched a lot of these, but clearly I have not!

 kwoon:
Like she thinks he's incredibly poor but actually he's a billionaire or she thinks he's an unemployed nobody yet he is her boss, or similar. 

Most of these are not as extreme as those examples.

The FL is friendly with the ML without knowing that he's actually the crown prince, emperor or true heir to the throne:

FL initially doesn't get along with the ML and doesn't take him seriously, but isn't aware that he's either rich or famous, and he later becomes her boss:

Noona romance where the FL sees the ML as a kid / younger brother despite his success as a DJ / musician / dancer: 

FL thinks the ML's power / influence is much lower than it actually is:

  • Crash Landing on You - FL thinks the ML is a regular army captain with no connections or power when he's actually the son of the top military official in the DPRK with powerful connections.
  • Mr. Sunshine - FL thinks the ML is a regular Korean rebel and later also a low-level local staff member employed at the US embassy in Korea, when he's actually an officer in the US army and has the highest diplomatic rank (Consul - similar to an ambassador) at the US consulate.

The ML is a highly skilled fighter, but goes undercover and pretends to be weaker than he actually is:

  • +1 Healer - Skilled man for hire / fighter
  • City Hunter - Skilled fighter trained from childhood to pursue revenge

1. Tomorrow with You - ML is a time traveler but obviously FL thinks he's lying... she thinks he's some random real estate guy but then she finds out he's a CEO and funds a big NGO(yes, they have zero communication in the beginning ?)

For how long do you want the FL not to know ML's real identity? 

maybe:

  • Office Girls
  • Love Returns
  • Revolutionary Love
  • Feast of the Gods
  • Still Loving You
  • Me Too, Flower!
