Can any one recommend me a drama where the female lead is rich or comes from a rich family while the male is poor. They are plenty of dramas that have the opposite, I thought this might be more interesting  to watch. Also, k-dramas only. 

Thanks!

Bad guy (2010)

Padam Padam 

  • High Society
    • The FL comes from a rich family
    • The ML has worked his way up to become relatively successful through his own talents and hard work and also by subordinating himself to a chaebol heir, but his family is poor and that plays a very big role in shaping his personality and goals
  • My Only Love Song
    • The FL is a successful actress from modern times
    • The ML is a penniless conman from the past
  • Gu Family Book
    • The FL's father is the head of a martial arts school
    • The ML is basically an orphan and an outcast
  • Who Are You: School 2015
    • Of the two main male characters, one is poor
    • Of the two main female characters (orphans who are twins), one was adopted by a rich family
    • The FL is the sister who was not adopted, but she eventually takes her sister's place and ends up living with the rich mother
    • In the end, the first sister returns, the rich mother adopts the FL, and they all live together

That Fool  -   2009 cohabitation trope drama.   About a postman and a top celebrity.   https://mydramalist.com/371-that-fool   I haven't watched it, so i can't say whether good or bad, but have it on my PTW list.   

East of Eden  is another.   Very long complicated melodrama.     I liked it but you have to watch when you are ready for a big time investment.   It sucked me in for a week.

Kimi wa Petto 

Couple or trouble...although she has amnesia and think is poor

I don't remember well, but I think that most of noona's romance are of these kind: Witch's romance,  Dal Ja's Spring,  and others I can't recall now. Try seaching by these tag ;)

Secret Love Affair

Money Flower- well the ML isn't exactly poor but kinda depends on other people... kinda lol

I think for both cases of noona romance, the younger male were actually secret Chaebol heir  ut something made themdecide to live a very humble life rather than the life of luxury: Witch's romance park seojoon was actually taking up medicine under his father hospital then quit, while Dalja Spring's LeeMinki was actually a lawyer but wants to be a chef. 

1+ High Society & Yong Pal

Others that almost match up:

Prosecutor Princess - Rich FL & poor SML (her initial interest)

Heartstrings - I think FL was from a wealthier than average household. The description on MDL says "born into a prestigious family". Idr anything about the ML

My Little Princess (C-Drama) - Rich FL & poor/average ML with a rich SML

The Lover - in one of the couples the female is not rich but in a better financial situation than her jobless bf whom she takes care of

Ms. Perfect - has a rich SFL

And What Happens to My Family? has a side couple of a male character who's a doctor but comes from humble beginnings & a female character who's the daughter of the chairman/CEO of a hospital

Oops, you're right. My mistake. Sorry.
