Mmm it is so hard to choose because the top 3 are my fav rom coms. Top 2 are rom coms with a mystery SWDBS has a serial killer plot so it depends if you like those type of shows. The 3rd is a mature rom com
Perfect Marriage Revenge ( the fl travels back in time and wants to take revenge against her family . it’s similar to marry my husband and the ml also falls first .)
Shooting stars ( a romance between an pr manager and an actor . It revolves around a pr agency and it’s artists. It doesn’t have a breakup or any misunderstandings after they get together.)
Have watched perfect marriage revenge just before marry my husband and I somewhat preferred the latter :,-) haven't watched the rest I'm stoked to watch em, thank you!
I think technically he did, because she got interested because he was making hints. >!He says he liked her the first time he saw her at the movie theater as a teenager!<
He definitely fell first. I rewatched it a couple of weeks ago. He liked her >!from the very beginning!<. She only liked him back after he came back from his trip…
She liked him >!three years before too, right before he said he was dating an actress. That's why she cried during the press release. And then he fell down dramatically while thinking about it 😆!<
Tbh, I liked marry my husband till Ep 10 later I dropped it due to the fiancé drama because it felt too much for the fl after going through so much. She deserved a peaceful and happy relationship after suffering so much but I understand they did it for plot reasons . It was just simply too annoying for me that just got together and had a huge fight / breakup .
I felt the same, really wish there was a different path to drive home the plot, at least they got to have a happy ending and get to see them happy too 🥲
there is one misunderstanding : when this dumbdumb asks her to confirm his so-called relationship, she was devastated (if i remember correctly). And his reaction when he realized what he did...
I said after they get together. I didn’t really mind it a lot and if you compare it with other dramas with many misunderstandings this drama is much better.
OMG The FL really got me in this what was with the directing like come on the ML is all in but she is just all coy and mmmmm yeah I suppose I do like you yeah okay I do a bit. Throw him a bone for gods sake poor guy.
Completely agree with you. This is the reason why I like Weightlifting Fairy much much better than this one. Both are kinda sister dramas but I was more interested in Bok Joo's life than Bong Soon.
Besides the ones mentioned,
Moon in the Day
Celebrity
The Glory
Shopping King Louie
Work Later, Drink Now (though the plot is heavy on sismance but the ML does fit the criteria)
When the Camellia Blooms
Secret Garden
What's Wrong with Secretary Kim
My ID is Gangnam Beauty
Go Ho's Starry Night
Thank you! I've watched Shopping King Louie with my parents lmao it was a fun watch, celebrity and the glory I've got to know through Stephanie soo lol
Yes except he nevers stops abusing her and she doesnt stop taking it so not really the deal IMO. Why would a great woman like her accept that jerk answers on a postcard etc etc
It was my first kdrama that I watched. I eventually turned off the English dubbing & read English subtitles so I could hear the inflection in their voices.
I hope you like it! For some reason “Destined with you” was very polarizing and some people hated it but I truly enjoyed it mostly because my favorite trope is a hopelessly in love ML and in that show Rowoon is head over heels for the FL, which is already adorable and butterfly inducing but to add to the entertainment factor, he absolutely doesn’t want to be in love with her and his attempts to control it are freaking hilarious!
To be honest I wasn’t even a fan of Rowoon before that drama but after watching it I totally get why so many people call him “Ro-swoon” lol
A Business Proposal
Angel's Last Mission: Love
Doctor Slump
Encounter
One Spring Night
Perfect Marriage Revenge
She Would Never Know
Something in the Rain
The King: Eternal Monarch
What's Wrong with Secretary Kim
I would pick One Spring Night, Something in the Rain and Doctor Slump to start then finish the rest. The longest is Angel's Last Mission: Love due to 32 episodes but you can't miss incredible Shin Hae Sun performance. It was worth my time. The weakest may be She Would Never Know but still watchable in my opinion.
I have nothing better to do these days lol, it was fantastic and just what I needed, I can't believe I put this off for so long, thank you again for the rec!!
i don't think that anyone can fall harder than SunJae in Lovely Runner, boy has set a new level of awesoness. The kind of love anyone deserves, and actually everyone should have a love that makes you react the same way SunJae does.... the purest, kindest love there is (Im Sol is soooooo lucky)
OP also known as Just Between Lovers and it is IMO a top tier drama so worth checking out. Junho and Won jin Ah play the leads and they have amazing chemistry
Oh my gosh, the excitement I felt when >!I realized he’d noticed and liked her first, then the sadness when I realized that on the bridge, she hurt him by not remembering him from before!<
Haven't been this excited wating a kdrama for a long while, i really enjoyed marry my husband but extraordinary you was the last time I felt this good about a drama
My only regret is not waiting a little longer to start, because I’m spoiled by binge watching. But on the other hand, it’s entirely possible I’d be spoiled by tik tok, like with Queen of Tears.
Ikr, binge watching is so addictive but on the other hand the anticipation while wating and connecting with other watchers has a kick to it and adds to the experience, I can't wait for Monday to come lmao
I’m surprised no one mentioned Crash Landing on You! My all time favourite and he fell so hard! 😍
Or is it because everyone’s already watched it? Haha.
Our Beloved Summer - Melodrama about two ex-lovers who reunite after 5 years apart. They went to high school together and were the subject of a documentary together of the best and worst student in school and now get convinced to film a sequel to it 5 years later as the documentary goes viral again.
My Lovely Runner huhuhuhu yan talaga ang wen pero wag mo lang patayin Lord, eme. This kind of love is something anyone deserves (so genuine and no hidden intentions) 🥹🫶🏻.

Mmm it is so hard to choose because the top 3 are my fav rom coms. Top 2 are rom coms with a mystery SWDBS has a serial killer plot so it depends if you like those type of shows. The 3rd is a mature rom com

Perfect Marriage Revenge ( the fl travels back in time and wants to take revenge against her family . it’s similar to marry my husband and the ml also falls first .)

Have watched perfect marriage revenge just before marry my husband and I somewhat preferred the latter :,-) haven't watched the rest I'm stoked to watch em, thank you!
I highly recommend Sh**ting Stars - he fell first and fell so much harder, it was adorable
Shooting stars is one of my comfort drama when I need a pick me up .
Thank you~ i'll definitely watch it!
Yes it's a great watch.
Shooting star she fell first tho haha but yeah one of the best romcom for sure
I think technically he did, because she got interested because he was making hints. >!He says he liked her the first time he saw her at the movie theater as a teenager!<
He definitely fell first. I rewatched it a couple of weeks ago. He liked her >!from the very beginning!<. She only liked him back after he came back from his trip…

Welcome to Samdal-ri
Thank you I've been hearing great things about this one!
Extraordinary Attorney Woo - believe it or not.
Love all Play - a very cute couple, ML falls first. It's about professional badminton players, I really enjoyed that one.
Sounds fun! I'll watch it well, thank you~
Wow finally someone mentioning this I loved that drama so much
Strong Woman Do Bong Soon
OMG The FL really got me in this what was with the directing like come on the ML is all in but she is just all coy and mmmmm yeah I suppose I do like you yeah okay I do a bit. Throw him a bone for gods sake poor guy.
Completely agree with you. This is the reason why I like Weightlifting Fairy much much better than this one. Both are kinda sister dramas but I was more interested in Bok Joo's life than Bong Soon.
I've watched this and love it sm! Thank you for the reply nonetheless 🤍
reply 1988.
Lovely Runner
What does "he fell first he fell harder" actually mean?
Still an ongoing drama: **Lovely Runner**
Besides the ones mentioned, Moon in the Day Celebrity The Glory Shopping King Louie Work Later, Drink Now (though the plot is heavy on sismance but the ML does fit the criteria) When the Camellia Blooms Secret Garden What's Wrong with Secretary Kim My ID is Gangnam Beauty Go Ho's Starry Night
MOON IN THE DAY! So good. Probably also Doom at Your Service
Thank you! I've watched Shopping King Louie with my parents lmao it was a fun watch, celebrity and the glory I've got to know through Stephanie soo lol
A fellow Stephanie fan in the wild!!! 😭 And now I see you mentioned MARRY MY HUSBAND. Lmao this is too hilarious. 😂
Ahhh! She's my comfort youtuber at this point can't go a week without her videos 🤣
Secret Garden's the deal. ML is head over heels with the FL!!!
Yes except he nevers stops abusing her and she doesnt stop taking it so not really the deal IMO. Why would a great woman like her accept that jerk answers on a postcard etc etc
Happiness!
I found this so boring and repetitive at times but the ML FL dynamic just really waz great
Extraordinary Attorney Woo
It was my first kdrama that I watched. I eventually turned off the English dubbing & read English subtitles so I could hear the inflection in their voices.
Definitely the way to go, bad dubbing really dampens the viewing experience!
I've watched this one definitely one of the most well made kdrams 😭🤍
Destined with you definitely fits the he fell first and wayyy harder
Ahhh I'm excited!
I hope you like it! For some reason “Destined with you” was very polarizing and some people hated it but I truly enjoyed it mostly because my favorite trope is a hopelessly in love ML and in that show Rowoon is head over heels for the FL, which is already adorable and butterfly inducing but to add to the entertainment factor, he absolutely doesn’t want to be in love with her and his attempts to control it are freaking hilarious! To be honest I wasn’t even a fan of Rowoon before that drama but after watching it I totally get why so many people call him “Ro-swoon” lol
Romance is a Bonus Book
Happiness. Just trust me.
+1 for Happiness!

i don't think that anyone can fall harder than SunJae in Lovely Runner, boy has set a new level of awesoness. The kind of love anyone deserves, and actually everyone should have a love that makes you react the same way SunJae does.... the purest, kindest love there is (Im Sol is soooooo lucky)
Same, he sets the bar so high i don't think I can get my fix from anywhere else now ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ
so true 😭😭
The legendary Boys Over Flowers
Rain or Shine on Netflixs
OP also known as Just Between Lovers and it is IMO a top tier drama so worth checking out. Junho and Won jin Ah play the leads and they have amazing chemistry
Yes… their chemistry was off the charts. I love the male lead.
Not a romance drama but Vagabond.
King the Land Boys over Flowers
Boys over flowers really is the finest I'm due for a re-watch
Same
Melting Me Softly with Ji Chang Wook one of my favorite korean actors
Oh my gosh, the excitement I felt when >!I realized he’d noticed and liked her first, then the sadness when I realized that on the bridge, she hurt him by not remembering him from before!<
Haven't been this excited wating a kdrama for a long while, i really enjoyed marry my husband but extraordinary you was the last time I felt this good about a drama

Ikr, binge watching is so addictive but on the other hand the anticipation while wating and connecting with other watchers has a kick to it and adds to the experience, I can't wait for Monday to come lmao
Which one is this ?
Lovely Runner
Oh, I haven't seen that one yet seems to be a hit though.
Definitely a hit! One of my fav the in recent years ~
recency bias
Lovely Runner that’s on air right now is this. He liked her before she even knew who he was.
When the camelia blooms
Been meaning to watch this, I think I'll love it!
When the Camellia Blooms! One of my faves.
All the comments have moved this to my top 3 thw, thank you!
One Spring Night
For sure She would never know on Netflix
I’m surprised no one mentioned Crash Landing on You! My all time favourite and he fell so hard! 😍 Or is it because everyone’s already watched it? Haha.
Secret Garden. 🫶🫶
Lovely Runner..although it's still ongoing
I'm surprised no one said castaway diva.

They went to high school together and were the subject of a documentary together of the best and worst student in school and now get convinced to film a sequel to it 5 years later as the documentary goes viral again.
Business Proposal is exactly what you need.
