Hi, I am looking for a modern romance c drama to watch. Some things I would like in it or not like in it are....

  • Male lead is not rich nor the most handsome/popular guy
  • I think I would not want it to be a high school drama. 
  • Not too many cringe moments 
  • I kind of don't want the couple to be established early or middle of the drama because I tend to get bored when it happens.
  • In Time With You
  • We Married as a Job
  • Hogu's Love
My Mowgli Boy (2019)
  • FL is rich and is self-employed influencer
  • FL doesn't really have other males that pursue her, if I remember correctly (obviously other than her influencer status, but its not like there is a directly competing male)
  • There is some confusion with real feelings or just CP status they make up for the influencer so they don't get really established until the middle/later
Customer First (2020)
  • ML is a boss but he's kinda broke and no other girls pursue him
  • More comedy; couple seem to like each other mid-way through but only get official towards the end

that's all I can think of so far

Hiya~

Here are some of my recs according to your specifications: 

Begin Again - ML isn't rich even though he's a doctor. He's kind of popular (only because the female nurses have nothing better to do LOL) but he isn't arrogant. He's really nice and humble.  In this drama's case, it's the opposite. The FL is the rich one who pursues the ML. Hahahaha! She's quite aggressive.
Mysterious Love - ML isn't rich but he isn't poor either. There isn't much cringe moments. It's a good balance or romance, action, and some steam. The leads met  and went through a lot together, but they were "separated" for a long time until they met again. 

When a Snail Falls in Love - This is is more Crime/Action-Thriller with a good balance of Romance. Definitely not high school. The leads are cute, not cringey at all. They're both smart and they both understand each other and work well together. 

Hope to have helped. ヽ(*⌒∇⌒*)ノ
