Very Romantic Dramas

klugpuff

[this might be a repeated topic, so, feel free to let me know and i'll delete it, i'm still have a hard time navigating through the forum]

so, i'm on a very basic quest - i'm looking for very romantic romance dramas, that is, the ones with tons of cute moments or very passionate ones, so, no real checklist here - it can be either a very innocent one or a very intense relationship. my only request is to be a romance-focused drama and to have shameless fanservice - it can be silly or unrealistic, i don't really mind, to be honest. oh, and i'm looking for happy endings and not too much drama or anything that would make me sad in the meanwhile. it might sound a bit too shallow - i hope not - but that's it. 

care to help me with that?

For passionate romance you should try MARS if you don't mind old dramas. Its a very deep, pretty dark, drama that deals with rape and mental illness. The main couple have AMAZING chemistry, its on FIRE! Actually they are my favorite drama couple so far. Their love is deep and full of passion. It's about two broken people with dark pasts that come to find love and comfort in each other ~ The actors dated each other IRL too as well during that time, so chemistry is no joke

Well there are probably a lot. The first thing that comes to mind is Strong Woman Do Bong Soon. They're a super lovey-dovey couple. However, it is a bit of a wacky show that's a mishmash of genres, so there are some crime/thriller aspects as well.

A couple possible others:

Love O2O - I feel like it's a bit fanservice-y. Very minimal drama (most of the drama is between the secondary couple). But it looks like you already dropped it ...

Last Cinderella - This one has a bed scene that's on the sexy side (by Asian drama standards, don't get too excited). I guess there's some drama, but it's not the really angsty sort that would make you cry. Mostly, it has a comedic tone. Not super cute or super intense, but it does have it's fair share of romance drama clichés without being completely substance-less. 

My Unicorn Girl - This is definitely the fluffy and cute type. Personally, I thought this one was pretty boring, because they reused the same plot points a lot, but because of that there are a lot of accidental kisses, and of course, some intentional ones as well. Also minimal conflict between the leads. They bicker a lot, but things are usually resolved quickly.

Her Private Life - This one is felt rather fanservice-y to me at points. Definitely cute and lighthearted. Not much angst (despite the typical tragic backstory stuff).

If we're talking about most romantic in terms of story, I'd probably choose different ones, but that's kinda subjective and they'd probably be more serious rather than fun.

Here are some recs which fit your requirements, that is, all of them are romance-focused, with tons of cute moments... I don't put "passionate or intense romance b/c you don't want too dramatic ones. And most of the time, that type of romance have a lot of drama... Does that make sense?  :)

  • Professional Single  (fluffy one with amazing chemistry between the MLs. School and arts, the ML is deep in love with the FL, so there is passion in the way he loves her but not really in their romance: it's much cuter rather than intense... It's one of my 2020 favorites though.. 
  • Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo (A famous one, between two athletes, very very cute and fluffy. A secure value, I adored it... In my top 15
  • Strong Woman Do Bong Soon (Same as WFKBJ, cute romance; however, the plot is more mature and "darker." It's not sad and it has a happy ending so. The romance is so adorable...
  • Go Go Squid  (My big crush of 2020, if you're looking for a  light, very cute but still addictive  drama, this is the one for you)
  • Bromance (2015)  (A cross-dressing so funny! I really loved it. I remembered the ML was really passionate in the way he loved her,so it's quite intense but still funny and cute.
  • Coffee & Vanilla    (An intense romance, like a "mature one" but it's still cute for me. I really really like this story)
  • Meteor Garden   (The best remake of Hana Yori Dango, the ML is Wow, cute and fluffy!)

If you don't mind watching BL (Boy's Love), I'll suggest some which are really easy to begin with. What do I mean by that? If you're not used to "Gay relationship", these below are very light, cute and fluffy. There aren't "too much passion", you can go easily and blindly. So to summarize, don't be afraid by BL if you've never seen it before those are really great and the best to begin with! 

  • 2gether  ( I looooove them, I think I rewatched it at least 4 times already... Such a cute story!)
  • Mr Heart (Same as earlier...)
  • Love by Chance  (Pete &  Ae are my 2020 favorite couple... I don't even know how I missed it since it was aired in 2018...)

All of them fit your requirements so... it's up to you :)

Thanks so much for the recommendations! I feel like I wrote the laziest request yesterday and I'm really thankful for all the answers <3 For now, I think I'll probably go with "Her Private Life" or "Professional Single", but thanks for all the recs <3

PS: I watched Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo and it's very cute indeed <3
