So I’m looking for a drama where the ML is popular, flirts with many girls, has no intention of getting emotionally attached and basically fits the common description of playboy.

Bonus points if the FL is strong and can’t stand his flirty attitude (initially at least).

Happy endings only pls.

  • Its okay Thats Love - totally fits your description. 
  • Autumn Concerto
  • Plus Nine Boys - the story doesnt start with him being the playboy, but we do flashback to it and the time the FL starts falling for his flirty ways and ends up crying because of him.  The ML confesses and the FL doesnt believe him and  she is being toyed again.

Nine: Nine Times Time Travel plus girl loved him for 5 years and chased him

My First First Love not exactly what you described but I think it has same vibe what you want. ML is very communicable, popular,  flirts, parties, has many friends is kind of light hearted (in good way, guy with good mood), though he kind of wants to be in relationship with cool/beautiful girl,  FL is his best friend and they have very healthy beautiful relationships, which is rare in dramas (mostly girl/boy friendship is kind of taboo. It usualy is jealousy reason or one sided crush). this drama has many not usual vibes, lightness, healthy relationships and positive

hateful but once again

capital scandal

What is Love (2012)

I didn't see the ML as a playboy, or flirtatious, in Nine Times Time Travel.  The FL lead loved him for many years and he seemed somewhat detached, but there was no indication that he was fooling around.

Totally agree, Nine ML never was a playboy. He did tease the FL a lot. But that is just the way he was with the FL.



Also try Q Series: Love of Sandstorm - this is a family centered drama. Sp the focus moves from 1 family member (dad->mother->older bro->Middle girl->maknae boy

The story with the playboy is about the middle child girl who is a college student and the guys opposite here who is the guy here was certifiable playboy. He even asks all his 'girlfriend' to keep their relationship a secret because its for his 'girlfriends' protection, cause his 'fan girls 'will end up hating the girl he is currently dating.  The girl is a martial arts centered, done-with-boys tomboy who people speculate as a lesbian in love with her bestfriend. They dont like each other. He calls her tomboy, and she think he's  a douche who pits ridiculous amount of make up.
