So I haven't watched a K-drama since It's Okay to Not Be Okay finished airing. Nevertheless, was the first K-Drama I tried in a long time but I didn't like it because of the open relationship thing going on. I recently saw a clip of Imitation that caught my interest, so I'm planning to watch that. 

I used to be so up to date with K-Dramas but now I don't know what aired and what's popular. MDL ratings aren't that reliable for recommendation either so...

Please recommend me some recent Romance-based K-dramas or K-webdramas! Note: I don't like it when they get together so fast (prefer they end up together at the very end or in the last few eps).

Some examples of what I like: 

  • My Love From Another Star
  • Extraordinary You
  • Dear My Name
  • Hotel Del Luna
  • Moonlovers
  • It's Okay to Not Be Okay

Tropes I like:

  • ML chases/falls first
  • ML has a secret crush on the FL from the start
  • Jealousy/possessiveness
  • Crash Landing on you (kinda new)
  • Youth of May
  • My Roommate is a Gumiho
  • Doom at your Service
  • She Would Never Know

Old: Goblin, Healer

  • My Roommate is a Gumiho
  • Doom at your Service
  • She Would Never Know

Old: Goblin, Healer

Thanks for the recs! Do the dramas have any of the tropes I like? It's easier to complete a drama when I have a motivation to watch for a trope :P

I'm not OP, but She Would Never Know and Youth of May have the ML chase the FL. I can't say whether both couples get together fast or not because I didn't finish the dramas. 

Regarding Healer, I honestly can't remember all the details and whether it has the exact tropes you like, but I feel that you would most likely enjoy the romance, so I recommend giving it a try. 

As for the others, I can't comment on them since I didn't watch or finish them.

Hey!! sorry, ummm:

She Would Never Know- ML secret crush, chases her, Jealous (this might suit you best xD)

Youth of May- Secret Crush, chases Her, slight jealousy

My Room-mate is a Gumiho- ML  jealous, I think they fall in love at the same time.

Crash Landing on You- Same time, jealous.

Doom at your service- Tbh I didn't finish it. It's a Rom com? XD

Healer- I think ML has a secret crush, not sure if he chases her (Although you didn't want older dramas, this is my fav. one here)

Goblin- Jealousy (Again, it's an older one... but so many people love it... personally took me a long time to watch it)

I think I'll try She Would Never Know and Youth of May, I dropped the rest of the dramas ^^'

  • Prison Playbook (not a romance based drama tho)
  • Fight For My Way
  • Something In The Rain
  • My First First Love (s1&2)
  • Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo

Blue Birthday  is good  but still airing. Has cool twists and surprising for a web drama.  ML + FL  had crushes on each other.
