this is about to get really oddly specific but i'm just in a mood so please excuse that for a second lmao
so like, i'm really in the mood to see a romance that has a scene where something tragic happens to the girl and the guy is there. like i started watching master devil do not kiss me and in the first episode the girl's mom dies and her house burns down within the span of a day, and the rich family whose dad receives one of her mom's organs takes her in, and i got so excited because that premise really sounds like my kinda shit but then she got over it within the same episode? like she didn't mourn and it didn't visibly effect her afterwards at all? and homeboy over there didn't give two shits either. and now i'm just feeling unsatisfied at how that played out and want to see it done well.
like it's been a hot minute since i've seen the drama but i remember in easy fortune happy life there's a scene where the female lead's house burns down and male lead has to physically hold her back from running into the flames and then holds her while she cries, which was nice and heart fluttering and all but all i remember afterwards is that he was like a total dick to her for most of the rest of the drama. so it started out heading in the right direction but then took a wrong turn and nose-dived off a cliff.
something more similar to how in shining inheritance all that bad stuff happens; her dad dies, she goes bankrupt and loses everything, and her brother goes missing, and when the male lead realizes he played apart in everything going wrong he gains a conscience and starts to change and care for her. that got my heart fluttering.
another similar thing is like in you're all surrounded after all of the friends learn that the male lead witnessed his mom's murder as a kid they start to take care of him, but reversed.
i have basically been on the search for a drama comprised of the university portion of autumn's concerto since i first watched the drama
i see the male lead go through a tragedy and get taken care of by the female lead so often in dramas, i'm craving it the other way around. does that make sense? i have rambled too much.
please help with some recommendations ♥ kdramas, jdramas, cdramas, twdramas, and thai dramas are all good ♥
