Fake it till make it

dramas (Korean, Thailand, Chinese, Philipine) I have watched with marriage/dating of convenience tropes:

contract/pretend dating/marriages: usually an agreement entered by both leads for anything but love
arranged/forced/accidental marriages: usually happening against the intention or without knowledge of both or either one of the leads
substitute bride: a very special subtrope of arranged marriage - in which the marriage is intended but a wrong bride is introduced instead
marriage romance: in particular ones we're shown the leads are already married to each other for anything but love - the romance develops only in their marriage life

by extension, it also includes:

forced living arrangement or cohabitation when leads are forced to live together with romance as end point
