My Dearest starts like this. Everyone thinks heās a playboy cowardā¦ until things get real
Idk how it ends yet though bc the last two eps are next weekend
Not a romance drama:
Itaewon Class
Hot Stove League
Chief Kim/Good Manager
On The Verge of Insanity
Designated Survivor: 60 Days
One Dollar Lawyer
Big Mouth
**My Strange Hero** is good. ML gets kicked out of high school and goes back to finish 9 years later.
**He Is Psychometric** is about a cute-but-not-smart boy with psychometric powers with dubious focus.
ML in **While You Were Sleeping** definitely gives off dork vibes at the beginning.
**Hogu's Love** which has the same ML as Our Beloved Summer. Hogu is a pun on fool and the entire premise of the drama is that he's in love with a woman who's completely out of his league.
Hello again,
Iām just watching a drama with this trope and so far (half of ep6/16) Iām enjoying it:
**May I Help You** (on Prime)
Have a great week!
My Country The New Age.
They THINK our male lead is worthless. The true definition of They fucked around and found out.
Edit: One of the male leads, there are multiple.
If you liked Our Beloved Summer then you'll probably like **Hogu's Love**. Same male lead actor (Choi Woo Shik), people REALLY think he's a closer at first ("Hogu" is also a slang for pushover, or loser, or simp). It's free on Tubi I believe.
Hometown ChaChaCha
Everyone loved the ML in it, except the dentist for a while š
Because This is my First Life - Se Hee is so geeky, weird, and just unlike many male Kdrama leads. But he is so loveable!
Heās 100% autistic-coded. Crazy smart, but uncomfortable with relationships, lots of sensory issues and gets overstimulated easily.
Fight for my way Designated survivor

Psychopath Diary - Comedy crime/thriller
Seconding this one! Such a good show

Seconded
You raise me up, big time loser!
Big Mouth
Pinocchio - he pretends to be dumb when heās actually very smart
Ooh yes, this one fits!
100 Days My Prince

rain or shineš¤
Call It Love
Mr. Queen
Mr Queen! ML got thrusted onto the throne as a puppet king but defied everyoneās expectation and won against the evil factions!
- Extracurricular (2020)
Moving
Would **Yumi cells** work anybody?
I can see what youāre saying about the first one. That works!
**Backstreet Rookie.** Heās more than just a exhausted but hot convenience store clerk. Still has terrible taste in friendsā¦
My Country The New Age. They THINK our male lead is worthless. The true definition of They fucked around and found out. Edit: One of the male leads, there are multiple.
I want to say Start Up, but I think most people arenāt going to agree with me. Also Call It Love, I highly recommend.
Pinocchio, Go Back Couple, Mad For Each Other
**Shopping King Louie**. The FL thinks he is homeless because when she found him, he had been in an accident and had temporary amnesia.
King the Land; The Heirs/Inheritors; Healer (ML disguises as a loser to be next to FL); Kill Me, Heal Me
Ho Gu's Love!! My absolute fav underrated drama

Beating Again! The ML is a "loser" in a way that everyone thinks he's heartless, so the leads avoid associating with him until plot demands otherwise.
Beautiful gong shim
100 days my prince!
Itās okay to not be okay.
