First time posting here and new to dramas, I hope you guys can help me!
I recently finished watching Hi, My Sweetheart, The Fool, and Celeb to Binbo Taro. Some spoilers down below if you havent seen these!
In Hi, My Sweetheart (even though its really cheesey and cliche) you can really feel the love Chen Bao Chu has for Xue Hai. She was in love with him for a total of 7 years; dated him for 3, looked for him for 3 more and then almost killed herself to save him. When she crawled out of her hospital bed towards Xue Hai's room in episode 13, I felt really touched. You can tell nobody can match her love.
In The Fool, the romance between the 2 leads was very small. You can tell she doesnt feel for him at all and he only admires her because she's a celebrity. After spending almost every day together over 5 months, their chemistry grows better and better. Even you start to see how much the male lead is occupying her mind everyday and vice versa. She was ready to sacrifice her fortune and well-being to be with him, I really liked that.
However, in Celeb to Binbo, most of the episodes barely had any screen time for the 2 leads. It was mostly about the neighborhood and the well-being of its inhabitants. All of a sudden romance sparks between the two because they spent one episode together? It's not very believable and feels very shallow. During the last episode when the male lead "died", i felt absolutely nothing because they did such a poor job developing the chemistry between the two characters.
TLDR;Looking for a drama where the romance between the 2 leads are real and fleshed out. There should be good reason why one loves the other, not a "love a first sight" sort of thing.
