First of all, thanks so far for all the recommendations from everyone!
it's gonna take me awhile to try out the recommendations everyone's listed which i haven't seen yet.

A few dramas that act like sex is a natural part of a relationship are:
Pride (Jdrama)
The World That They Live In (Kdrama)
Reply 1997 (Kdrama)
Iris (Kdrama)
Scent of a Woman (Kdrama)
I loved Pride, it's one of my favorites. it gives off a more mature atmosphere, don't you think? in IRIS i rather see the action than the romance aspect.
my alltime favorite would be They kissed again (Tdrama). i've watched a lot of dramas but have never come across something this romantic again. of course i know they're married but still some drama couples could learn from them and stop *****ing around all the time and just live happily like them. if anyone knows of something that's similar to TKA (in aspects of romance not necessarily comedy) PLEASE tell me!!
