I’m looking for dramas that have romance, with quiet, introverted, guarded, emotionally distant or burnt out female leads. Preferably Cdramas, Jdramas, or Kdramas. I usually prefer Kdramas, but I would especially love recommendations for Chinese and Japanese dramas since I have already seen many Korean ones. It doesn't have to be a modern drama.
- Wei Yi Fan (The First Frost) - she's really closed-off, restrained, guarded
- Yeom Mi-jeong (My Liberation Notes) - introverted, exhausted, detached
- Mok Hae-won (When the Weather is Fine) - reserved, emotionally wounded (a lot of these female leads are wounded, so I'll avoid repeating this word)
- Oh I-young (Resident Playbook) - low energy and detached/careless about work
- Yu Mi-rae (Our Unwritten Seoul) - introverted, quiet, burn-out
- Nam Ha-neul (Doctor Slump) - burnt-out, depressed
- Lee Eun-joo (Eun Joo’s Room) - burnt-out, introverted
- Kanzaki Misa (Marry My Husband – Japan) - she's guarded and hardened because of her traumas
- Shim Woo-joo (Call It Love) - cold, melancholic
- Ha Moon-soo (Just Between Lovers / Rain or Shine) - guarded, quiet
- Kim Mu-bee (Melo Movie) - reserved
- Yoon Song-ah (She Would Never Know) - reserved
- Yoon Ji-ho (Because This Is My First Life) - quiet, introverted, lonely
- Min Seon-ah (Our Blues) - depressed
- Love Next Door - burn-out female lead; I didn't love the drama, but she fits the post.
- Our Beloved Summer - Introverted
- Welcome to Samdal-ri - this one might fit, but I didn't finish
Edit: I've just realized I didn't add an image for 16 and 17.
