So, what Im looking for are shows with some romance that involve either one or both the male and female leads referring to the other by (honorifics) [if thats the word Im looking for,  stuff like Oppa, Noona, Ahjussi, Sunbae, Senpai, anything is fine.  I would prefer the show to be from the male leads "perspective" but thats not very important.  It's fine if the leads start out as....less than desirable...people, as long as they make some progress into becoming decent folk.    The only real requirement for this one is that one or both leads refer to each other by some honorific.


I know, I make a lot of requests, Im sorry, when I see something in a show that I like, sometimes I just think "oh, I want to see something like that"  and I head straight here

There are plenty of these dramas out there. Here are a few:

Goblin: the female lead calls the male lead Ahjussi (I'm at episode 6)

Boss and me (C-drama), the female lead calls the ML "boss". 

Cheese in the trap FL to ML: Sunbae

Jealousy incarnate: it strikes me that the FL calls both ML by their job titles (CEO for one and Reporter for the other)


What strikes me though is that it's often the FL calling the ML by an honorific but very rarely is it reciprocated. Maybe in noona romances...

Suspicious Partner - male lead is the female lead's supervisor whilst she is on probation and later becomes her employer

Healer - slightly more complicated as the male lead has two identities and goes undercover at the female lead's workplace and to keep up the act addresses her as "sunbae", and it's the main example to spring to mind if it's the male lead addressing the female lead with an honorific

Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo - male lead is a prince and later, king so is addressed by appropriate titles
