I would love recommendations for cdramas where the FL or ML (especially FL and bonus points if both!) are very passionate about their work or academic studies. Lots of scenes where they're working and/or reading, and papers, maybe files and books piling up in the room. Bonus points if they persist through hard work. Happy endings only please and thank you!

Hi. 

https://mydramalist.com/696659-two-people-s-little-forest A Romance of the Little Forest came to my mind. ML and FL are both scientists.

In the drama Broker  FL is a scientist and science is a main topic. First half of the drama is good but the rest not so good, so you can try and decide if you like it.

thank you so much martar! I really appreciate your suggestions

You might want to post this request in the Recommendations area of the forum. Stress that you are only interested in Chinese dramas, if that is the case.
