Japanese Dramas, ML falls first

May 17, 2025 01:16 am

Hey guys, so out of all the dramas I've seen, I've seen the least of Japanese, so I wanna up the count here... The ones that I always find it seems that the FL is always the one that fall first and annoyingly chases the ML... lol.. orrr the drama in itself was kinda odd even if it was the ML doing the chasing first...

But what I'm looking for is a Japanese drama where it's actually the ML who falls first and does the chasing. It'd be even better if he was the jealous kind and is possessive, but not necessary of course. Anyways, lemme know what you've got!

Sidenote: One Japanese drama I did enjoy with this kind of trope was Coffee & Vanilla.
