Dramas with Romance as a Sub-Plot
These are dramas where romance is an add-on to another developed, and separate plot, such as mystery, time-travelling, survival, etc.
I think that dramas where romance is the MAIN genre fall short of character development, or having OTHER things happening besides a will-they-won't-they being drawn out for episodes.

slight romance (that can feel a little rushed depending on who you ask, but I think was done fine for the mount of episodes they had).
