Romance is one of the most popular genres on TV, and South Korea is no exception.

This country produces a huge variety of romantic shows, from wholesome to heartbreaking (though most of these combine both vibes, just alternate between them and put us through the rollercoaster of emotions).

So here's your dose of the most romantic K-Dramas released in the last ten years.

The K-Drama industry had two significant milestones relating to international expansion: one happened in the 2000s, and the other — during the pandemic with the release of Squid Game.

The romance shows, even the most creative ones, are still filled with tropes, but the way they are executed in these feels fresh and so fitting that we can excuse that.

This list has dramas that have characters from any demographic dealing with any kind of problem that a romance protagonist can ever face, so you'd definitely find something for yourself. Just get a tub of ice cream and some snacks ready in advance, because K-Dramas like cliffhangers and sudden twists so much that you won't be able to stop watching until the story reaches a conclusion.

And the characters are so lovable! You just have to see through their story and then go to sleep relieved.

Here are all 17 K-dramas mentioned here: When the Camellia Blooms (2019), Descendants of the Sun (2016), Strong Girl Bong-soon (2017), Crash Landing on You (2019), Business Proposal (2022), Youth of May (2021), What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim (2018), Twenty-Five Twenty-One (2022), The Flower of Evil (2020), Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha (2021), Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (2016), Semantic Error (2022), Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo (2016), My Love From the Star (2014), It's Okay to Not Be Okay (2020), True Beauty (2020), Start-Up (2020).
