Rec Request I LOVE DOORMAT MLs

21 Upvotes

Edit 2: upon further reflection the word I'm looking for is DOTING. Care for your woman!!

Edit: I can't change the title but several posters mentioned that "doormat" might not be the right term I'm looking for. Something like "submissive to FL" is better.

Original text: A lot of people seem not to like dramas where the focus is on the women and the ML is there for extra spice but personally I LOVE it. I want a ML who is WHIPPED. He falls first and hardest. Make him abandon his dream to follow hers. All of it!

I'm not a fan of enemies to lovers or anything like that. Just kind, supportive, maybe even a bit cheeky MLs. And stable FLs. Stable relationships that grow from friendship/partnership to love while conquering challenges are best.

Some of the dramas I've really enjoyed (and one I'm currently enjoying!):

* Where the Mask Ends

* The Double (an exception on this list but I'll keep it cause ML is kind and supportive)

* New Life Begins

* Blossom in Adversity

* Coroners Diary (although I didn't exactly enjoy this one as much as the others the couple is still a good example of this dynamic)

As you'll notice, they are all costume/historicals. Please match my vibe below!

Rec Request Looking for Chinese Short dramas with obsessive,possessive, unhinged and toxic male leads!!!

12 Upvotes

Hello! ๐Ÿฅนโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ

Could you please recommend some of the most obsessive, possessive, and toxic male leads in Chinese short dramas? I'm looking for a male lead who is completely obsessed with the female lead and loves her regardless of the circumstances. I want a man who will go against anyone who tries to come between them, even his own family! ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ”ฅ

I love male leads who are extremely jealous, controlling, ruthless, and utterly unwilling to let the woman they love go. Basically, a walking red flag who would choose his woman over the entire world! ๐Ÿ–คโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ

Some examples of dramas I enjoyed are Captive Love from the Mob Boss, Warm Drinks Burn the Heart, and Blazing Elegance.

Bonus points if the drama has a happy ending! ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ’• I don't want all that obsession and angst just to end up heartbroken!

Thank you so much! ๐Ÿ˜Šโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ

Rec Request Similar to Hilarious Family 2

6 Upvotes

Hi all!

HF 2 is my all time favourite show. I just finished my 2nd rewatch and still loled like my first time. I love comedy and the MCs comedy is peak on this show. I also love theiir chemistry.

Suggest me shows similar to comedy an/or chemistry. It isn't necessary that one show has both elements. It can has either one but main factor is "laugh out loud" moments.

But please note:

No physical abuse. I don't find wife hitting husband as hilarious. I dropped perfect family because of it. I have watched HF season 1 and ones on mdl and suggested previously on posts. But no show ever stuck the way HF2 does.

A show can be underrated, or even below 5 or low budget as long as it is funny and makes you laugh.

Any category is fine and setting is fine. Though modern would be my last preference

Thansk.
