281. Anego

5/10 rr. its quite rr, but not that much ,its more of an rr drama. the drama is more about fl's struggle in the workforce rather than the romance itself
-
282. Poison Berry in My Brain

5/10 rr counter. GREAT DRAMA ON SELF REALIZATION. mostly noona focused but the drama is actually great and quite the wake up call on delusions
-
283. Last Cinderella
Japanese Drama - 2013, 11 episodes
-
284. Sapuri
Japanese Drama - 2006, 11 episodes
7/10 rr, drama itself is quite good. FL is vert assertive. helps ml through and supports him. ml is hard working as well. only issue is ml is 19 but its working as intern at fl's workplace. only if ml was like 21-22 i wouldn't have had the ick. more of a noona drama ofc
-
285. Kenja no Ai
Japanese Drama - 2016, 4 episodes
5/10 rr. horrendously great drama. acting is top tier, easily a 10/10 drama for me. do not watch if you are triggered. its not a romance drama because the ML was completely groomed by FL. this should be more of an awareness show. FL is ML's mom's friend and initially she started a relationship with ML to get revenge from ML's mom but slowly the love became true i guess.
