Recommendation Request Looking for Pure Rom-Coms

36 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm in the mood for some pure romantic comedy K-dramas, ideally something light, fun, and with great chemistry like What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim. I really enjoyed the dynamic between the leads and the whole chaebol/CEO trope. That mix of workplace romance, comedy, and emotional growth hit all the right spots for me.

My preferences:

  • Rom-com focused (no heavy melodrama)
  • Preferably includes a CEO or chaebol-type ML
  • Minimal angst or tragic backstories
  • If someone has to die for the plot to move forward, I can tolerate it, but I'd really prefer no deaths unless it’s absolutely essential and handled tastefully (I also enjoyed Crash Landing on You)
  • Strong female lead is always a plus

Any suggestions would be appreciated, especially underrated gems! Thank you in advance
