Super Healthy Relationships
One thing I've noticed the more I dive into K-dramas, C-Dramas, and J-Dramas is how many unhealthy relationships there are, even among the main couples - especially when it comes to ML's. The number of extremely cold, or manipulative, or uncommunicative, or possessive ML's has really caught me by surprise. I know that domineering CEO is a trope of the genre (why, though?), but it's something I personally find more of a hindrance than a help to my enjoyment. So if there's anyone else out there like me who just wants to watch a show where the main couples treat each other with love, respect, trust, and unambiguous support, here's a list. Most (but not all) of these recommendations are lighthearted dramas that are also light on the drama. I have NOT put them in any particular order.
