5 Wholesome K-Dramas To Make Anyone Believe In Romance Again
This is a non-toxic zone.
If you had a dime for every time the passion in TV dramas was traded for pure toxicity, you'd probably have enough to invest in producing your own. Sadly, this is not the case, but fear not, there is still something you can watch while you save up for your own perfect love story.
Here are 5 K-dramas with perfectly respectful and sweet characters who know how to communicate and act like adults.
Her Private Life (2019)
First of all, the leading female of the show, Sung Deok-mi portrayed by Park Min-young, is truly precious and needs to be protected at all costs. Second of all, the relationship between two leads may be the most mature and healthy out of all K-dramas out there. If you are on the lookout for a rom-com with likable characters, this one perfectly fits the bill.
Love To Hate You (2023)
This drama is a great example of how characters can dislike each other at first without actually being toxic. They have their backgrounds established and the reason for their harshness explained, so the viewer doesn't feel like it's coming out of nowhere and is too aggressive. The chemistry that builds throughout the episodes is just the icing on the cake.
Do You Like Brahms? (2020)
Soft and sweet, Do You Like Brahms? explores the story of young love between two music students. It shows how much the art of music can teach us about the world around us, as well as our own feelings. This show is perfect for anyone who doesn't mind a slower pace and has a passion for classical composers.
When the Camellia Blooms (2019)
Although both the male and female leads are very nice people with great communication skills, the drama itself has much more to offer. This is not just a story that focuses on emotions, but also a mysterious journey to find out the identity of a notorious killer. Basically, you get the best of both worlds!
Dali and the Cocky Prince (2021)
Similar to Do You Like Brahms?, this drama also focuses heavily on art, but on the visual form. Although the male lead, Jin Moo-hak, starts out as a diamond in the rough, cocky and clueless, there is no malice or disrespect in his decisions. If anything, he acts as a supportive partner who grows to understand Dali along the way.
