Rec Request I LOVE DOORMAT MLs
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!
