I don’t watch primarily for romance - though it is still an important factor for me - but I guess the trope/scenario I like the best is when there’s a bickering friendship that bubbles over into something else, regardless of social station etc

Eg, in #Happiness, #KingtheLand, #MySassyGirl (Joseon)

Rom-com historical kdramas I recommend are

#RookieHistorianGooHaeRyung
#MySassyGirl (2017)
#100DaysMyPrince
#LoveintheMoonlight

For dramas like Secretary Kim I could recommend

#KingtheLand (if you’ve not seen it)
and
#Moonlight (cdrama with Esther Yu & Ding Yuxi)

but there are plenty more.

#HometownChaChaCha is a more subtle drama than Business Proposal - & it’s got me thinking that even fluffy romance dramas like #What’sWrongWithSecretaryKim have a traumatic underside that will be triggering for some people.

A historical rom-com that I only remember as fluffy is #MySassyGirl (2017)

MY SASSY GIRL returns in a restored 4K screening at NYAFF 2026. Cha Tae-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun anchor Kwak Jae-yong's genre-hopping romcom; but does it still hold up today? #NYAFF2026 #MySassyGirl @nyaff.bsky.social

I saw that this is playing at a theater nearby today with a new 4K restoration and I’ve always heard this movie is supposed to be great, so I think I’m going to go see it. Any fans of this? #MySassyGirl
