I'm looking for a drama/series with romance (not cheesy  or comedy). Preferably slow burn but it doesn't need to be. Something to bawl my eyes out to or more on the darker side. I hope it is understandable what I mean haha 

Try watching Somebody

The Interest of Love

Serious but lighter romance dramas  (With cry level)

  • Something in the rain
  • One Spring night
  • Love Now
  • Scent of a Woman (2011_Korea)
  • My Sunshine
  • Find Me in Your Memory
  • Just Between Lovers 
  • Come and Hug me  
  • Shining Inheritance 
  • Its Okay Not To be Okay

Serious Melodrama romance:

  • Autumn in My Heart - star crossed lovers story
  • Winter Sonata - separated lovers
  • Memories of Bali - ambigous and red flag relationships
  • The Red Sleeve - starts lights but about life, owns path, survival and choices in a society/era that is unforgiving and set in its ways

  • First Love: Hatsukoi - story of first love and living on
  • That Winter the Wind Blows - a love that freezes and spouts the coldness of winter

  • I'm sorry I love you
  • Just between lovers
  • Come and hug me
  • Chocolate
  • When the love blooms
  • Byakuyakou
  • Love that makes you cry
  • Taiyou no kisetsu

I don't know how partial you are to older movies, but I highly recommend these:

And if you haven't watched it already, I highly recommend Park Chan-wook's Decision to Leave. Anyway, I felt like my soul had left my body when I finished these movies, so you might like them too.

I like this trope too  

Just between Lovers
