Romance
List of dramas where the romance was satisfying
-
1. Love is Sweet
Chinese Drama - 2020, 36 episodes
They are funny, bickering, smart, and playfully childish. The chemistry between these two is amazing.
ML falls in love first and he is really nice and caring. FL is a tad stupid when it comes to love. Both are inexperienced even though they are mature adults.
-
2. It's Okay, That's Love
Korean Drama - 2014, 16 episodes
ML falls in love first. FL has issues when it comes to relationships. There is a lot of boundary-pushing and boundary-setting from both sides, which I found really nice to watch. They don't take bullshit from each other and they talk.
-
3. E Nebună, Dar E-a Mea
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
This is a bit hard to put labels on. FL aggressively chases ML, they are working through issues together or in parallel, there is eventually a lot of caring for each other, the kissing scenes are great.
-
4. Do You Like Brahms?
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
Disclaimer: romance is the only pleasant thing in this drama. These guys are the cutest together. Two introverts becoming friends, comforting each other amidst the constant shitstorms, learning how to open up and lean on each other. They talk things through rather quickly and openly.
-
5. Someday or One Day
Taiwanese Drama - 2019, 13 episodes
All the feels. This is a time-traveling mind-bending love story.
Labels: friends first (or not?), ML falls in love first (is he?), age-gaps (TT is complicated), tissues required.

6. Prințul Cafelei
Korean Drama - 2007, 17 episodes
ML falling in love without realizing.

Older woman (but unexperienced and awkward), younger man (dashing and quite confident), great chemistry, character development.

Secret identity, ML falls in love first, protection, teamwork.
-
9. Viața Ei Privată

Secret identity, pretend relationship, great chemistry and kisses. Acceptance of weird parts of another person as a huge bonus.
-
10. Greutățile Vieții

First they become really good friends, then ML falls in love and pervades FL to give it a try. Funny, playful, caring.

They are slowly growing fonder of each other and it's nice to watch.
-
12. We Are Young

Very close childhood friends who grew together and now are working together. Their chemistry is so natural it feels like they are not acting. There is almost no drama between them, a lot of mutual support, no stupid love triangles.
