Wrong, a simple google search proves you wrong

Unrequited love, or one-sided love, is a romantic affection that is not reciprocated by the person you are in love with. This means they may not be aware of your feelings, or they may consciously reject them, even knowing you have strong affections. It's a painful experience that can lead to feelings of sadness, longing, and even shame.
Here's a more detailed look:
Key aspects of unrequited love:

One-sided: The affection is only felt by one person, not both.

Painful: It can be a difficult emotional experience, leading to distress and difficulty moving on.
Common: Many people experience unrequited love at some point in their lives.
Can be overcome: While painful, unrequited love can be worked through and overcome with time, self-reflection, and support.

You just described every ML in every Kdrama in last 5+ years.

You can go to a forum where manga and dorama (what ever it is) and make this point.

here though, the ML's are always pure virgin simps.
while the FL's have shagged other men and finally end up with the pure virgin cute prince.
It's almost every kdrama with same pure virgin ML and a FL who shagged other men.

hence it's a fair topic to discuss in this forum exclusive to dramas, especially Kdramas and Cdramas.

We have seen hundreds of Kdrama ML's who are cute, charming and absolutely adoring the FL.
What we have seen a single Kdrama FL who is cute, sexy and absolutely adoring the ML.

May be Kdrama writers need to start writing those kinds of FL's as well.

He is a bigger simp and doormat than what you probably imagined.

The FL treats him as if he has a dozen STD's and ML in turn is ready to polish her boots with his tongue,

No.

"unrequited love" means exactly being in love all the time, those words are pretty explicit in what they mean.

On other hand, falling in love with an ex again is different. You fell out of love and back into love,

"unrequited love" is staying in love.
FL in this one is an Ahole for putting her ex fiance through shit.

some dramas?
Show me 5 kdramas in last few years where the ML loved FL but dated other women?

unrequited feelings = loved the whole time.
And that's exactly how the FL is in the drama.

have you watched Samdal ri?
In that Fl even tells ML that she loved him all the time even when she was dating other men. But the drama shows other men as the problem when it was the Fl who always loved the ML being the problem.

It becomes tricky to project a character to be in love one person and be in relationship with another.
Kdramas do this all the time with FL, problem with this is that the FL's in these scenarios come across as Aholes. To cover the fact that FL's are Aholes, the dramas make their boyfriends as cheaters, which does not make sense since the Fl never was 100% into these men. You need a lot of nuance to write such characters and Kdrama fail spectacularly making the FL look like, as I said top grade Aholes

the nuance is, if the FL had loved ML all the time, she was a horrible person to lead another man all the way to the altar,

funny thing is, the ML's in Kdramas have no nuance.
They are pure virgins waiting on FL who they loved for a long long time.

but she was in love with ML the whole time.
That's what unrequited love means.

That in effect means she was always shafting her fiance because she was holding a candle to another man.

Imagine if this was ML doing to some other woman, where he was shagging this woman while being in love with FL.
the ML would be horrible person.

Nothing improved in ep2 as well.
the ML is as pathetic as ever.

This is going to be another drop for me.
Can't really watch these pathetic ML with no shame or spine pining after women who care more about their 'second aunts third daughter-in-law's fifth cousin' than him.

What unrequited?
She dated other men and even had a fiance.
If she had unrequited feelings for ML and then had another man as fiance, it pretty much is the FL who is the problem in that relationship.
It basically means she screwed her fiance right from the start. Him cheating on the FL needs a whole new perspective since she never fully committed to her fiance.

This is one of the problems in Kdramas.
FL is shown as dating other men while being in love with ML all the while.
Then FL's boyfriend cheats and we are supposed to feel sorry for her even though she had been in love with ML while being with other men....
example: Samdal ri

On other hand, the ML as far as we know is the one who is keeping himself pure without looking at any other women.
There is no complications with Kdrama ML's.
Their body and mind is always very pure for the ML.

Not love triangle but the usual Kdrama FL with multiple men angle,

I suspect romance is going to kill this drama.

ML is looking very pathetic at this point.
FL rejected him and dated another guy. Instead of moving on and dating few girls, this guy for some weird reason stays put.
Even now the absolute patheticness of ML to act so whipped for a girl who does not give a flyinfF about him is yuck.

You would think at this point this clown would have some self respect to wait for the FL to make a move on him but this is just too pathetic to watch.

if the genders were reversed we would be telling the FL to have self respect and make the ML crawl to win her over,

I have no idea why people still call what happens in Kdramas as love triangle!

Love triangle implies, sometimes Fl has 2 men in her life and sometimes ML has 2 women in his life
BUT
in kdramas it;s always the FL with multiple men around her.

Kdramas have only one thing, a harem for the FL.

After watching countless western superhero TV shows and movies and be disappointed, I have come to appreciate even more how special this Kdrama is.

The whole character arks of everyone involved and their journey is what makes this superhero drama so incredible.

Every ML in every Kdrama with romance is basically there as fan service to female audience.

The message basically is, no matter how many boyfriends you have had, you will always end up with a pure virgin handsome prince charming.

Kdrama ML has been a doormat with zero self respect for 5+ years now.

The only thing happening is ML's getting more and more pathetic with every new Kdrama.

Let's just say it, the ML has a million dollar smile.

Ep1, drama establishes ML has been in love with FL for a long time.
Ep1 also establishes FL being in relationship with another guy.
Ep1 also establishes ML having a front row seat of FL being in relationship with another dude.

What is this 'make shit up out of nowhere' you are talking about?

These pure virgin Kdrama ML's who have been with FL since they were toddlers are killing Kdramas.

Another Kdrama where the ML has been in love with FL forever
and the FL who dated other men.

Welcome to another round of another shitShow from Kdrama industry, where the ML is always a pure virgin.
