I'm after dramas with some romance and the most important thing.. a solid story that isn't cringy and one that will keep me interested.

What are some popular recent romance dramas? Or just recommendations in general would be fine!

  • Quartet
  • 100-manen no Onna-tachi
  • Boku no Yabai Tsuma
  • Boku, Unmei no Hito desu
  • Date - Koi to wa Donna Mono Kashira
  • Ito-kun A to E (Didn't care for Kimura in Boku but shes great in this one)
  • Kenja no Ai
  • Mr. Nietzsche in the Convenience Store (Don't think the humor is for everyone but I found it hilarious)

I love J-Dramas but their romantic ones are pretty lack-luster to me... have yet to find a really good one.

Most of mine are movies 

✔️ From Me to you 

✔️ Say I Love You

✔️ Signal (2012) 

✔️ Black Devil and the White Prince (funny but great romance)

✔️ Kiss that Kills 

✔️ Evergreen Love 

✔️ Heroine Disqualified 

  • Hana yori dango – it’s a must see it’s the classical Cinderella story but one of the bests ever done (2 seasons and 1 movie)
  • Buzzer Beat – good romance drama about 2 people that meet and fall in love but first they have to find the perfect timing for them to be together
  • Love Shuffle – it’s a story involving 4 couples and how they learn what love is
  • Pride – a classic romance drama with a mature couple who grow and learn from each other and also heal each others wounds
  • Tatta Hitotsu no koi – a very good romance and it’s a Cinderella story but inverse (rich girl, poor boy)
  • Hotaru no Hikari – this has 2 seasons and a movie, and it’s a bout a couple that has to live together due to some circumstances and gradually fall in love
  • We married as a job - As mentioned before this one is compared to Because this is my first life. I liked both of them but I'll have to say I liked better how they managed the "contract relationship" at the final episodes here. 
  • Soratobu Kouhoushitsu - I like this one, because is also about 2 persons who had their dreams broken about their ideal jobs but with the help of each other discover a new passion in life. 
  • Kahogo no Kahoko - This one is pretty sweet and lighthearted, the OTP is very cute and it centers alot on family.
  • Boku unmei no hito desu - This one is also pretty lighthearted, the male lead is very sweet and kind and it's totally focused on romance.
