Are there any shows where the FL is a total simp for the ML? One where she gives failboy vibes
Ooooh, this is a good ask!! Failgirls are unfortunately not too common in the media I watch, but simps? 100%! I love girl simps! I'll include both if I can find

Down-tremendously Simp FLs:
β¦ Love Crossed - Queen of simping. I mean, ML is the idol that she's fascinated with, so... it's intense (giving girlfail vibes) [Fairly RR] β¦ The Blossoming Love - The honorary second queen of simping!!! She should be given an award for her obsession efforts [RR] β¦ Pursuit of JadeΒ - Very close... there's never a moment this girl is NOT simping. She goes full-on "I'll make the money, you be pretty at home" mode [Fairly RR] (until ep 22 anyway, I dropped) β¦ Fu Ma Mei Tian Du Xiang He Li - She's basically a reversed hen-pecked husband (no, I will not be reversing that term...), so both smitten asf and also a simp [Very RR] β¦ A Talented Girl Grows UpΒ - Takes a bit to start the simp engine, but once she does? OOOFFFF (giving some girlfail vibes, mostly in regards to how she tries to woo ML) [Very RR] β¦ Forever Love - Relentlessly simpy [Very RR] β¦ The Eternal Love Season 3 - Does it count if he has amnesia and she's pursuing him? She was giving tremendous simp [Fairly RR] β¦ Colorful Love - Very smitten, rather simpy (giving some girlfail vibes). [RR + hetgnc] β¦ In the 1990sΒ - Another simp. [Very RR] β¦ The School Nurse Files - Simping but for a cause? Idk, she was unusual about the simping, but I feel like it was still intense enough to mention (giving some girlfail vibes) [Somewhat RR] β¦ Princess Jellyfish - Another queen of simping (giving quiet some girlfail vibes, just not the peak kind). [Somewhat RR (mostly hetgnc)] β¦ Learning to Love - Trying to hide (and sometimes suceeding in doing so) her simping (giving some girlfail vibes) [Slightly RR] β¦ An Ancient Love Song - Simping? Yearning? She does it all. [Fairly RR] β¦ A Dream like the True Love - More subtle simping, but I kept getting the feeling this FL was down-bad and reading the novel confirmed it, so she's added. [Fairly RR] β¦ Secret of Three KingdomsΒ - Prominent simping later on, but in a subtle, empress-y way. [Somewhat RR] + Maybe... β¦ Head over Heels - I only watched 1 episode of this 'cause it's not my scene, but she was a serious simp in it. [Idk... Possibly Slight RR] β¦ Idol IΒ - On my PTW list so I can't speak certainly, but I mean, FL is a hobbiest fangirl, so I'm imagining the simping to be pretty severe.
Organized vaguely from most simpy.
There might be some leaning more into smitten than simping. Depends on how severe you want the down-badism to be. I thought all of these kinda had a pathetic flair to them when it comes to how downbad the FL is (though only a few are as severe of simps as men are allowed to be). As for girlfail vibes... I admittedly struggled a bit, mostly because the framing most dramas take to pathetic FLs is to make them so quirky and clumsy and uwu, and I don't think that's really RR, nor what you meant... Some, like I said, are more pathetic about their simping, so I included those that gave me loser-core vibes. The truest and best girlfail I've seen is the FL in Mad Doctor, but she's not a simp π
Anyway, hope you find something to your liking!
