Shows with a Rich Female Lead and Poor/Average Male Lead
I haven't watched most of these yet (as of August 2023). This is a list I put together of shows that people have suggested fit this category. (I still contend there needs to be more dramas with women leads who having big offices, with long desks, and nice suits... and the guy is just an average or below average dude, who still manages to sweep her off her feet.
I've watched A LOT of dramas where the coupling is "rich man" + "average/poor woman." Where are all the dramas where the main leads are a rich woman--like chaebol rich, preferably powerful, not just upper middle class--with an average guy??! There's CLOY, but his family is still rich/influential and he's a captain or something. There's Angel's Last Mission, but he's not really average--he's an angel. I mean average average. Truly just an average guy.
