If you think Hollywood romances are no longer as original and moving as they were a decade ago, look no further than the bustling world of Korean melodramas, whose trademark fake dating trope is sure to make you blush and chew your nails in suspense!

The idea of a fake dating trope might sound a bit confusing to people who don't know much about K-dramas, but it's actually quite simple!

The thing is, Korean writers like to tease their audiences with "will they or won't they" storylines, and the idea of putting two very different people together and watching their mutual indifference or resentment turn into love quickly became a dominant plot device in K-dramas.

Obviously, fans don't like to see the same thing over and over again, so we decided to include only the best shows with the fake dating trope in this list. Each setting is unique, and the characters don't feel like copy and paste versions of each other.

If you love the idea of fake dating, rest assured that the 10 shows above will keep your viewing schedule fresh and endearing!
