@KatelynnBrooks, regarding the wrong ship thing, that's pretty much impossible in R97. Literally everyone ships the one ship in this one, it's only the others that are really famous for SLS heartbreak lmao, so definitely don't let that ward you off. (And honestly, while I think the whole franchise is absolutely genius and is so beyond just romance, R97 has like my favourite drama couple ever, so). And yes to Family Dramas! I think they're really what you're looking for because while it may technically be a slower burn than regular 16-20 episoders, they don't really feel like it at all because you see the relationship actually, like, get somewhere beyond "I love you," then fade to black. You just need the right ones -- basically w/o makjang elements.
Lol so true, there are moments in R97 that makes you think your ship will catch fire and go down like the Titanic, BUT in the end is the couple everyone ships that is the OTP :D
