Any shows where the female lead is a complete weirdo and the male lead falls for her. 

Bonus if there's another guy going after her.

In the end, the male and female lead get together.

  • The Master's Sun - she can see ghosts and has kind of lost her sense of embarrassment
  • Jealousy Incarnate - Gong Hyo Jin just seems to like playing characters that lack a bit of self awareness; similar to tMS, in this one her character is also not very good at respecting normal boundaries in relation to the ML (it ends up helping him in the end)
  • Sound of the Desert - she was partly raised by wolves
  • Hi! School - Love On - she's an angel-turned-human
  • W - she has to behave pretty strangely to deal with even stranger circumstances
  • The K2 - she grew up hidden from the world by her family and she has a form of social phobia + experiences panic attacks when exposed to flashing lights
  • Madame Antoine - she tells fortunes in her cafe and pretends to be visited by the spirit of Marie Antoinette 
  • Healer - she's a very loveable free spirit, most of her friends are ex-convicts (her dad is a criminal defence lawyer / coffee shop owner), and she experiences panic attacks when faced with certain violent situations
  • Flower Boy Next Door (I didn't finish this) - the FL is a shut-in

I haven't seen it, but from what I've heard about it, My Girlfriend is a Gumiho also probably fits. In some of these the ML also isn't just a completely normal, average guy, but for the most part they're not too weird. 

I would agree with My Girlfriend is a Gumiho and The Master's Sun

I would add to that:


The Greatest Love

Oh My Ghostess

Agree with Master's Sun and adding:

Switch Girl!! (if over-the-top Japanese humor/ manga-inspired humor is your cup of tea)

Lucky Romance - she's really superstitious

Heart to Heart - a shut-in similar to FBND

and maybe Last Cinderella (she's kind of a tomboy?), Come! Jang Bo Ri, & How to Date an Otaku Girl (movie)

and of course the Reply series- 1997 being the most fitting
