Explicación
Same template as gustar — indirect object + verb agreeing with the grammatical subject: me encanta esta canción, le interesan los datos, nos molesta el ruido, te queda bien esa camisa.
Doler points at body parts (me duelen los pies), faltar at what's missing (faltan dos sillas), quedar at fit/remainder (me quedan veinte pesos).
Parecer ('to seem') and quedar ('to fit/suit', 'to have left') round out the family and often take a second clause or adjective: me parece bien, ¿qué te parece la idea? Like gustar, they almost always appear in the third person singular or plural, agreeing with the thing, not the person.
