Romance Done The Way I Like It - Drama Edition

Romance dramas done the way I like it. How do I like it? Hot & passionate! Not all the dramas on this list will meet this criterion, but the dynamic of the relationship & chemistry between the leads are on point in a way that I feel it should, which is natural and mature. No awkward, cringeworthy interactions. I hate childish, slapstick humour type romances where sexual tension is only alluded to through dialogue, but you neither see nor feel any chemistry between the leads. Cunning Single Lady & Korean Fated To Love You would be good examples of this, which is why they're NOT on this list.

    One of the most passionate couples, bar none!

    The buildup of sexual tension, culminating into one of the most passionate scenes ever, is exquisite!

    Their love, and physical interactions, can be summarized into two words: healing passion!

  • Aishiteiru to Ittekure

    The sweet sentimentalism of love was so well done here! I will forever hold a grudge against the writer for messing up the ending, but the first 8 episodes are amazing!

  • The Princess' Man

    5. The Princess' Man

    Korean Drama - 2011, 24 episodes

    Fight for your man, girl! This drama worked for me because you had a heroine who was defiant & NOT afraid to go up against her powerful parents for the right to live her life as she pleased, at a time when such behaviour was practically unheard of. Yup, my type of woman.

  • It's Okay, That's Love

    6. It's Okay, That's Love

    Finally, a Korean drama with grown folks, for grown folks, by grown folks! I loved the dynamic of this relationship, the spontaneity of touch & how natural their physical interactions were.

  • Nine: Nine Times Time Travel

    Korean Drama - 2013, 20 episodes

    I can't stand Jo Yoon Hee, seriously, but the time - travel/fantasy elements and the affable Lee Jin Wook saved it for me. To be fair, the romantic element was not as bad as it could've been. Jo Yoon Hee would kinda sorta kiss Lee Jin Wook back ... on occasion. I still wished they had cast a more passionate FL, but oh well...!

  • Coffee Prince

    8. Coffee Prince

    Korean Drama - 2007, 17 episodes

    7.0

    One of my gateway dramas into K-dramaland, and I certainly wasn't disappointed when it came to the romance. When you pair two master kissers like Gong Yoo and Yoon Eun Hye ... sparks gone fly and they did! Story itself was a bit meh and a lot draggy in certain parts, but it's tolerable with the FF button!

  • Boss & Me

    9. Boss & Me

    Chinese Drama - 2014, 34 episodes

    Cuteness overload, and one of the most dapper MLs ever!

  • Pride

    No passion in Japan if it wasn't for Kimura Takuya! This man can kiss so well ... to the point of devouring your head. That sounds weird, but trust me it isn't. You'll want to live vicariously through the FL!!!

  • Orange Days

    11. Orange Days

    Japanese Drama - 2004, 11 episodes

    9.0

    Nice, supportive romance between a nice, lovable guy and a vulnerable, but feisty pretty girl. They made such a perfect match! In general, this drama was pure nostalgia for those carefree days when you had time to spend with friends & the only worry you had was making it through finals.
