Remind me of High School Debut starring Mizubata Junpei. ML is popular guy & many girls like him in his high school. FL is the opposite of ML but slowly progressing they fell in love with each other before they realized it. FL make a promise not to fall in love with ML but she was hiding her feeling for him. Cute & lovely high school love story.

Both are a highschool love story where the girls is kind of timid and the boys are the popular guy in school. and the boy likes the girls secretly.

They both have a fluffy, school, youth romance type of genre, with both female leads being quite shy and obsessive (stalker-ish…? but not extreme) over their crushes. The male leads both find out a secret about the female lead, which initially forms their first interactions and establishes a deeper connection. The male leads are very popular in school and eventually showcase their true self to the female lead over time. Both are also very cute, lighthearted, and fairly easily watchable!

ML is an actor but not too popular anymore & broke so he rent a room in FL house.
FL is a nerdy geeky/otaku girl who like to imagine & day dreaming about romance with her favorite manga/comic book character. Remind me of Rainie Yang & Jiro Wang drama....& still 1 of my favorite drama....If you like this genre this is a must watch romance comedy drama....

Nerdy geeky girl transforms herself to make herself prettier & attractive before she met her long time crush & settle her feelings for him.

Korean drama about a nerdy geeky girl try transforms herself to make herself prettier & attractive before she met her long time crush & settle her feelings for him.

Japanese drama about a nerdy geeky girl transforms herself to make herself prettier & attractive before she met her long time crush & settle her feelings for him. Remake of Korean drama She was pretty.

Fifteen-year-old Sei Saotome is the type of person who tends to fail at the most crucial times. After nearly becoming a high school drop-out, she enrolls into a school that is overambitious for her. There she meets the bold and popular Taiyou Udagawa; and the dreamy and stars obsessed, Mizuki Ootaka. After being asked by Mizuki to join the two guys in the Astronomy Club, it turns out high school life isn't as bad as she had expected.

Well-meaning but socially awkward, Kuronuma Sawako is nicknamed "Sadako" by her high school classmates because of her similar hair style with the main character from the horror movie "Ring." She doesn't have friends and goes about her day in quiet. She admires a fellow classmate, Kazehaya Shota, because of his easy-going and friendly nature, but unknown to her, Kazehaya has also been paying attention to her.

A bit similar story. The ML protect the FL from bullying & slowly they start to become friends. After some time passed they realized that they love each other. If you are a shojo manga fans you should try to watch it. It was not too bad as some people said. Some scene is cute & make your heart skipped.
