So basically I'm looking for a drama where the guy is cold towards everyone besides the unpopular girl, which he falls in love with ,protects her behind the scenes , teases her, always comes to her rescue, etc.. These are the dramas i've loved so much :My secret romance , Noble my love , True beauty , My ID Is Gangnam beauty . If you watch anime the best example would be Kaichou wa maid sama .

I've checked the recomended tab for every single one but i haven't found anything i like ,so i figured to ask because i know there will be others with the same preference as mine .

Thank you so much ! ♥

Nevertheless (takes place in college but otherwise it fits the bill)

With a few exceptions (that I've noted below), similar to the examples you referenced, the FL in these dramas aren't necessarily "unpopular" but they aren't a super popular "it" girl and in some cases they are targeted by bullies, and the MLs are either cold towards everyone or they are very focused on one goal (e.g., business / saving up enough money for something) and completely disinterested in other people until they meet the FL:

School 2017 - Korean drama.
Go Ho's Starry Night - Korean drama.
A Business Proposal - Korean drama.
Something About 1 Percent - Korean drama.
Healer - Korean drama.
Because This Is My First Life - Korean drama.
The Beauty Inside - Korean drama. The FL is a popular actress, but she has a personal issue and "bad-girl" personality / reputation that frequently cause scandals that make her a target for criticism from the media / public.
Just Between Lovers - Korean drama. This one deals with some heavy topics, including death, trauma / PTSD, survivor's guilt, and poverty.
Adult Trainee - Korean drama. Episodes 3 - 5 only.
Who Are You: School 2015 - Korean drama. The ML and SML each mostly fit what you're looking for in different ways.
Her Private Life - Korean drama. The ML is mostly cold towards everyone, but he has at least one long-time acquaintance that he is somewhat friendly with.
Attention, Love! - Taiwanese drama.
Accidentally in Love - Chinese drama. The ML isn't exactly "cold towards everyone" (and he has at least one good friend), but he is an idol and starts out with a somewhat aloof personality. There is a subplot (which I recommend skipping) that deals with a secondary female character threatening to commit suicide if the ML doesn't indulge her.
My Unicorn Girl - Chinese drama.
Go Ahead - Chinese drama. The ML isn't exactly "cold towards everyone" (and is warm towards the FL's friends and family), but his personality is generally reserved plus the FL is the centre of his universe, and everyone else comes second.
Better Days - Chinese movie. This one fits your criteria exactly but is quite heavy. It deals with suicide, intense bullying, sexual assault and murder / manslaughter.
