ML constantly seeks out FL's company/touch
These are dramas where the male lead is the clingy/possessive type, but specifically is always seeking to see and spend time with the female lead.
Those marked with * are ones where the male lead also often initiates physical contact/skinship (more *** for more steaminess).
