Looking for a romantic comedy TV show(preferably Japanese or Korean) that does not have a lot of drama.
Some of my favorite romantic shows are You Who Came From The Stars, Suki na Hito ga Iru Koto, and I am Not a Robot. They have great romance but the drama regarding business, family, ex-lovers, villains, etc. really annoys me. I just want it to focus on the (playful) relationship between the main couple, I end up forwarding all the other bits (in shows like Secret Garden, Personal Taste)
My favorite shows that have great comedy and no/little melodrama are Laughter in Waiki and Hotaru no Hikari. These are great comedies but, unfortunately, have less romance.
Can you please recommend a show that has BOTH, romance and comedy, but little to no melodrama?
Things I dislike:
- melodrama
- love triangles/ other love interests
- FC having no self-respect or being portrayed as helpless and stupid (like in Itazura na Kiss)
- unrequited love
Things I like:
- romance+comedy
- cohabitation
- playful banter
- bromance/ friendships (bromance between God and MC in Boku, Unmei no Hito Sesu is the BEST I've ever seen)
- strong female characters
- MC goes for FC first (or both at the same time)
- socially awkward/cold protagonists (example: Sano in Hana Kimi)
