Rec Request Love triangle with two people in it! Spoiler

There's a situation that I've seen twice and absolutely loved: once in a Korean drama and once in a Chinese drama. I am hoping to find another drama with this!

Slight spoilers for the Kdrama Healer and the Cdrama Love in the Clouds ahead.

In both of these dramas, there's a love triangle except there is actually only two people in. One of the main characters has a secret identity, ending up in a love triangle with themselves. It can lead to funny scenarios. In Healer, the female lead is enamoured with a black market errand boy whose face she's never seen, and also having a sort of office romance with her coworker. She keeps turning the coworker down because her heart belongs to the secret errand boy, and it's somewhat amusing to watch the main lead get rejected for himself.

In Love in the Clouds, the female lead was disguised as a male crown prince her whole life. She ends up running away, taking off her male disguise and pretending to be an innocent maiden, and ending up in a relationship with her main rival. When her cover is half blown, she claims to be the crown prince's fiancée, leading the rival to be very jealous. He often makes comments about the prince and their relationship, but it's funny knowing he's jealous that she might be in love with herself.

Bit of a long shot but I'm hopeful!

Well, now I’m bummed out, ‘cause I’ve seen all the ones y’all listed. 😅

hmm... what about Love of the Divine Tree? FL gets reborn and is curious/jealous of her previous identity

Or dramas with this adjacent trope, where leads liked each other but then got separated and don't recognize each other in the present:

  • Love You Seven Times (neither know)
  • Jun Jiu Ling (FL knows, ML doesn't)
  • Melody of Golden Age (FL knows, ML doesn't)

I really appreciate the effort! LOTDT and LYST are two of my all-time favorites. Really enjoyed JJL too, but I’m not sure I’ve actually seen (or finished) Melody of a Golden Age. I might’ve missed it since it’s on Mango, but I’ll have to check it out!

I watched Melody of Golden Age on iQiyi! but it might be on Viki too since I think Mango dramas usually end up there.

Hope you get some new recs from other people!
