L, an angel who’s endlessly fascinated with the human world, gets into trouble when she unthinkingly saves the life of Han Shi Yeong, a man who was meant to die.

In his Chinese film, "Scent," Park Shi Hoo plays Kang In Joon, a Korean interior designer...who finds love when he meets an innocent Chinese girl...it's directed by Jessy Tseng who directed award-winning art house film Big Blue Lake.

also starring Ham Eun Jung as the main female lead.

there are very similar vibes.
first: strong main couple
second: starring a crazy (delusional) sister
third: we have a loving family (mls family)
fourth: we have a crazy mother (sml's mother)
fivth: we have an older couple
sixth: we have three young couples
seventh: we have a young couple that brings two familys together that hate each other

switch the trope of "parents losing their chrildren" with "familys that are hardcore enemys and a neutral family in between"
this will give you a similar drama.

The three kingdoms of Dayan, Xiyan, and Nanyue fought for many years, and the Weibei army led by Murong Jing He, the prince of Dayan, who had excellent combat power, suffered heavy losses in the Western Yan army and returned to the court in triumph to receive a reward, was betrayed on the march route, was framed, caught off guard, and the entire army was annihilated. The court is treacherous and the dark tide is rising.

As the center of the whirlpool, Jing He never gave up on investigating the truth of the incident, finding out who is behind the scenes, and comforting the heroic souls of the fallen soldiers. The dead warrior Mei Lin became the only "dead chess" on Jing's chessboard and revenge. Although Mei Lin is a dead soldier, he has a tenacious will to survive, and in order to get out of the dark factory, she and Jing He launched a turbulent struggle.

Jing He made extreme use of the beginning to gradually recover his sincerity. Mei Lin went from ignorance at the beginning to the beginning of love. In the confrontation between the two "chess players and chess pieces", the sadomasochistic love is deep and they cannot love.
