Hello, chingus and da jia hao! :)

Sometimes I'm fed up with slow burns and want to feel love vibes from the very first episode, so I'm looking for more dramas where male lead (first male lead, no second! ;) ) loves female lead from the beginning, because they have a past together or there is some strong connection from the past. I don't want drama to spend couple of episodes on flashbacks (like "Lighter and Princess" or "My Sunshine"). I want the story to develop from the first episodes, where there is already a strong feeling or friendship. Examples:

Love Scenery - male lead is a strong fan of female lead and there is no place for another woman in his heart from the beginning.

Moonlight - main leads are online friends and they like each other very much, even though they don't know their true identity.

Go Ahead - the story starts from the childhood, but there is a strong connection from the very beginning and it only develops stronger with each episode.

Cutie Pie - BL, boys know each other and are engaged from the very beginning.

Jun Jiu Ling - male lead has been in love with female lead for the long time, they were close friends, but she changed her face and ID, so he can;t recognise her.

The Legends - male fall in love with the female lead in the first episodes, then there is a timeskip, a huge changes, but he still loves her and waits for her to appear.

You Are My Glory - yes, of course :)

Love is Sweet - main leads know each other from the childhood, they had been close, but the female lead thought he was bullying her, when he had a strong feeling for her and the feelings are there, when they meet years later.

Who Rules the Worlds - there is a friendship/strong connection between main leads from the first episode. There is no flashbacks and it's not needed.

Love in Time - male lead has been in love with the female lead, but was afraid of rejection, so he never confessed. There were a strong friendship between them in the past.

Mysterious Love - main leads share the painful past, but they loved each other and they crave to be together from the beginning.

  • Fanletter, Please- There are flash backs but this is only 4 episode. The Flashbacks had to do more with past trauma revelation.
  • Love Is Science?- Childhood friends
  • Our Beloved Summer- Exes to lovers. build up of new relationship but there are flashbacks through their documentary style format too. It is interweaved in the story and not the way Lighter and princess went about it
  • Soundtrack #1- Best friends to lover. ML had a crush for years.
  • When the Camellia Blooms- ML was trying to court from the beginning
  • When the Weather Is Fine- ML liked her since highschool but they were not close

Thank you  for your recommendations! :) I don't watch k-dramas anymore, because after seeing  over a 100 of them, they tend to be predictable and I often get bored around ep 6 :( I tried many times with different genres and it just doesn't work anymore (k-drama slump for years). I even gave up on Alchemy of Souls :(  I'll keep these titles around, maybe for later ?

Shanai Marriage Honey - Leads marry in the first episode as strangers and then live together. They both fall in love soon and their love is about more, than only few kisses. :)

Meeting You - Leads are childhood friends. ML recognizes FL first and loves her from the 1st episode. But it is maybe slow burning. :)

My Little Happiness - (on your hold list). Drama with nice ML and 2nd couple is also good.

Kono Otoko wa Jinsei Saidai no Ayamachidesu - A bit different kind of love, nonetheless ML loves FL from the 1st episode. ?

Thank you! I'll check these dramas and also thank you for reminding me about My Little Happiness - I remember I wasn't in the right mood to finish this one. Probably I'll enjoy it much more at the moment :)

Thank you, I've seen most of them already :) They were fun :)

Koi Desu: Yankee-kun to Hakujou Garu (2021) - ML is enamored with FL since first meeting, they do meet in the first episode but they quickly form a friendship, very fluffy and a bit cheesy but its sweet

I've watched couple of episodes and the dropped it, because I'm having hard time watching j-dramas with their production quality and the way actors play. Just not my cup of tea :(

You can check out my list! ML Has A Secret Crush On FL

Thank you very much! I will definitely try some of these ❤️

My Precious Bad Luck - You can try this. Here, both the leads loved each other from the beginning but broke up for some reason and met again. It's not heavy drama, very light-hearted. 

Description on MDL is a bit different.
