recently i was watching secrets of the shadow sect and judge from hell and i realized that i've never seen many productions that have a morally grey or dubious FL, so i wanted to ask for recommendations here.

ps: it can be from any country!

Get Karl! Oh Soo Jung she's a gold digger, no excuse for her. But she gets some character growth through the drama. Old drama though!

I Have a Lover she's a villain. She's greed and ambition personified. A lot of growth for her. 

So Wayree usually in dramas, the FL is misunderstood by the ML who starts treating her like shit before realizing he was mistaken, and then he starts being nice? That, but in reverse. She puts the guy through the ringer for a long time before she starts to come around. (Although this is an unpopular opinion, as some people feel like he deserved the treatment).

thank you so much!!!! 

Some of these might work for you:

Blood Free (FL has no idea whether she's good or evil. Opinions vary.)
The Witch's Diner (FL does naughty thing, then not so smart things.)
Hyena (You don't get more morally grey than this.)
Hotel del Luna (FL is not too concerned about doing penance for her many, many sins. But, damn, the eye candy in this thing!)
Doctor X (Fights the power by projecting a massive god complex of her own.)
 I Hear Your Voice (FL is incompetent, selfish, and altogether not very nice. Got so fed up with her that I dropped it.)
