Top 10 Best Romantic Comedy Korean Dramas
The romantic comedy genre is one of the most popular genres among Korean dramas!
With their charming oppas, adorable female leads, and uptight chaebol heirs, Korean dramas are perfect for anyone who enjoys romance with a humorous backdrop.

My Love from the Star
Everything in this drama perfectly fits! The storyline is well-written and carried out. Details of acting in each scene touch the hearts of viewers.
And of course, all the cast in this drama is perfect in their roles! Main characters Kim So Hyun and Jeon Ji Hyun have great chemistry and outstanding acting skills that match well with each other. They have added little details to their interactions in the acting that make every moment look so real and draw us into the drama.
Best K-drama ever for me! They really should continue to do other seasons of this drama with the same cast team, like Twilight, before the US ABC does it. I am sure they will have a season 2 and so on if they are successful with the remake of this drama in the USA.

Boys Before Flowers
This is one of the first K-dramas I watched. It's a classic, and I enjoyed watching it, but I feel it might be a bit overrated compared to "My Love from the Star," "Coffee Prince," "Pinocchio," or "Secret Garden."
For me, the pace was a bit too slow, and I think the story would have been better if it had been condensed into fewer episodes. However, this teen drama is a guilty pleasure. The actors are gorgeous, and the acting is not half bad, although I was a bit disappointed with the leading lady and the second male lead.
In conclusion, this drama is sappy and predictable, but deep down, you kind of love it for exactly that reason.
This is DEFINITELY the BEST drama I've ever watched. Seriously, there's not a single boring plot point. Even the first episode will make you want to watch more and more episodes until you can't stop.
The combination of the four handsome male leads will drive you crazy, and the funny character portrayed by the female lead will entertain you from the first episode to the last. Highly recommended!

Playful Kiss
It's a story that never fails to hit you. You can watch this drama a billion times and still love it. It shows that love goes beyond even your own expectations. It depicts the characters' progression of love and the gradual, complete acceptance of one another.
At times, you become angry at their coldness or stupidity, but again, it shows you that when you're in love, you can become a fool. I love this story. I laughed a lot, cried, and at times even punched a pillow. The actors did an amazing job in this adaptation as well.
I felt like I was seeing the manga characters come to life. And Kim Hyun Joong is absolutely handsome and dreamy. Perfect cast, portrayal, and story. Definitely recommend this!
-
Pinocchio
One of the best dramas that I've watched. There's not a single boring episode or dull scene. I can't sleep thinking about what will happen at the end of the drama.
The chemistry between the two mains is very palpable. You would sink your teeth into this drama after getting past the first episode, which is great because it's not boring like other dramas. The plot is not cliché, and the casting is perfect.
Pinocchio is not just another Korean drama. The story is very well-written. Not a single episode is boring, and it has some very good characters.
The actors have played their roles perfectly. If you are looking for some sappy romance, then this might not be the one for you. But if you appreciate a drama with a good storyline, then this is definitely the one you shouldn't miss. Lee Jong Suk and Park Shin Hye have done a great job.
-
The Heirs
I'm a huge fan of romantic comedies, I guess because they depict what we want to experience in real life. Heirs, for now, is my best drama or movie, Hollywood movies included. All the characters did a great job.
I especially admired Kim Woo Bin's great acting, but best of all was the real chemistry between Min Ho and Park Shin Hye. I've watched both of them in other dramas. They were good but not real. Heirs is the most real-life portrayal of love I've watched.
My Love from the Stars is also very good, but the chemistry between the actors isn't as real as in Heirs, for me. I think Lee Min Ho has the potential to be one of the greatest actors of our time. I look forward to watching him in Gangnam. Can't remember the full title.
Thank you (one of the many Korean words I've learned from watching dramas).
-
Secret Garden
One of the most romantic dramas with beautiful action sequences, I've watched this one three times. You should watch this. Some scenes really make us cry, especially when the hero treats the heroine at her worst.
But this is a highlight of this drama. The opening is amazing. The heroine is almost one of the most famous actresses in Korean drama as well as movies. It's funny and interesting.
If you look at any website, television, or international ratings for the best Korean dramas like the top ten and top twenty, there may be some changes and mismatches. But in all ratings, you can definitely find three dramas always placed or listed as best on all websites, televisions, and other sources. One is Full House, which has one of the highest ratings ever in Korean drama. The second one is Coffee Prince, and the third one is Secret Garden. Then, for sure, it must attract all kinds of people. Please watch it and recommend people to watch it.

You're Beautiful
This is one of my Top 5 dramas of all time! The soundtrack is so beautiful that I added some songs to my playlist. Park Shin Hye is amazing as a religious girl pretending to be a rocker dude. And Jang Keun Suk is so beautiful. He makes eyeliner look good too. You'll get major Second Lead Syndrome, and even Third Lead Syndrome, if that's a thing. I was JKS all the way!
If you've ever seen a drama where a girl pretends to be a guy, you know the secret will eventually come out. What happens after each person discovers the truth only leads to further complications in poor Go Mi Nam's life (Park Shin Hye). This is a must-see for all ages, unless you're younger than three.
-
The Master's Sun
This show! Recently watched it. I loved it! Paranormal romance. A girl sees ghosts after an accident years ago. But when she touches the guy, ghosts vanish. That's the reason the girl clings to the guy and the story develops from there.
So Ji-sub, he is so macho and cute at the same time. He gives me the feels.
And Gong Hyo-jin. Oh, she is one of the best female leads I have watched. She has amazing chemistry with every male lead she works with. They are so cute together. I would have loved them to be a couple in real life. They are so adorable together.
Overall, an amazing and unique script. Different from other popular K-dramas you have been watching.

I Can Hear Your Voice
The first few episodes weren't that special for me, but when it reached episodes 8 and 9, the story became gripping and so thrilling that you can't stop. As the show progresses, you can see how all the characters develop so much, even minor characters like the judge or Attorney Shin. This is definitely a drama with a lot of depth.
I think the main theme is not your typical love or romance that we expect from K-dramas. Rather, it teaches us the value of truth, the importance of empathy, and what it means to be human. It makes you think about life and relationships between people from a different, positive perspective.
The best part is that the messages are not forced upon the viewers but are introduced gradually and subtly. I wouldn't say this is the most exciting drama I've seen (you can't beat Healer when it comes to action, suspense, and romance!), but this is a drama that has values that go beyond just entertaining the viewers, and I think that makes it much more precious.
-
Coffee Prince
If you ask me, I will give second place to this drama. My first choice is going to be "Full House." I am not sure why people have given this drama sixth place. For the heroine's acting and the hero's looks alone, this drama must be watched.
Gong Yoo is my favorite actor, and he always does his work superbly, especially in this drama. Almost all Korean dramas portray the hero's role as very rich and unimaginable, but this character was nice, enjoyable, and relatable.
Even more, this drama left some important and beautiful messages beyond love. The heroine is a really great actor and has received a lot of awards as well. If anyone misses this drama, you're definitely going to miss a good Korean drama. I am sure.

Descendants of the Sun
This drama is awesome! All the cast - male, female, main, secondary lead, storyline, locations, etc. - is excellent. You will wriggle when you watch the main lead's love line, which means their chemistry is so good that the audience will feel butterflies in their stomach. Also, the secondary lead's love line will make you fall for the characters.
I've watched a lot of dramas. So far, this is the only drama where both the main and secondary lead characters have almost the same level of lovey-dovey love line. The scriptwriters have definitely done a great job on the dialogues and everything! As well as the directors, D.O.P., cameramen, and all the crew for producing such good artwork for the audience. This drama is definitely worth watching, and you surely won't be bored or regret watching it.

Strong Woman Do Bong Soon
The chemistry between them was AMAZING! It was my first time watching a K-drama, and I already loved it! It was funny, cute, and romantic. When I saw the way they looked at each other, I've NEVER seen that in any other TV show I've watched. And I've seen a lot!
The things that made it amazing weren't Bong Soon's superpowers, but Min Hyuk and Bong Soon's chemistry. And of course, it was overall HILARIOUS! When Min Hyuk would get all cute with Bong Soon, I was literally screaming at how cute he is, especially during the ending when he saw.
Reasons to watch Strong Woman Do Bong Soon:
1. It's REALLY funny.
2. The chemistry between Min Hyuk and Bong Soon will make you CRY.
3. A girl taking the lead.
4. Drama and love triangle.
5. Thriller, filled with mysteries.
That's all I need to say... You're probably already watching it, aren't you?

Healer
This is one of the best dramas I've ever watched. Hats off to the person who came up with the plot and the whole crew for making this drama so wonderful. Ji Chang-wook's acting skills were so on point, including Park Min Young's unbelievable character. She was a bubbly girl regardless of the problems she had to go through in her life.
At first, I got very confused because everyone's life was related to one another. But as I went on watching the remaining episodes, the puzzles slowly started to be in their right places. The whole drama was fantastic.
But the one thing that really got me into watching this drama was the OST. The soundtracks of this drama are up to the mark, and the best one is the theme song that's played at the beginning. My heart still skips a beat when I listen to that song. So, altogether, this drama gets a big thumbs up and it's highly recommended.

Goong (Princess Hours)
This drama introduced me to the very beautiful and talented actress Yoon Eun Hye, my most favorite K-drama actress. So, this drama is very special to me. There were times when I felt the plot was dragging, but aside from that, you are going to love this drama.
This is especially true because of the cute, bubbly, and very endearing personality of the princess, played by Yoon Eun Hye, who is the heart and soul of this drama. Watch it for her, and I am sure you will fall in love with her.
This drama depicts an era where the monarchy exists alongside modern society.
This drama may start out a little weird at first, but don't stop there. It gets better every single second. I loved the chemistry between the female and male leads. The plot is really interesting, mixed in with a little historical twist. Sometimes you really do feel like jumping right off the couch into the screen and strangling Yul's mom. She's just the perfect evil character. The female lead is really adorable and quirky. Her actions are tremendously hilarious. Sometimes she depicts the character so well that, when she does something embarrassing, you'll feel embarrassed yourself.
Lee Shin may be a little cold at first, but inside he's a really sweet guy. Yul is full of calm, warmth, and friendliness - the polar opposite of Lee Shin, who is the male version of Shin Chae Kyung. Well, they do say that opposites attract, no?
This drama is one that tells a tale of love, monarchy, politics, dreams, friendship, vengeance, and a whole lot of surprises.
-
Heartstrings
At first, I felt that this drama was just going to be slow and dull. But gradually, as the story progressed, it became more than a delight to watch such a lovely drama. This is more so because Lee Shin is the perfect boyfriend out there: he is supportive, intuitive, considerate, sacrificing, caring, a sweetheart, handsome, affectionate - the list goes on.
This drama gives you the perfect cutesy moments between the lovebirds. It makes you cry. It makes you laugh. And the music is soulful. Some songs go straight to your heart. It's pure and innocent.
All in all, a beautiful drama to watch.
(PS: Jung Yonghwa and Park Shinhye are so cute together, and this drama also made me a Yonghwa fan. He is a really talented singer and guitarist.)

Dream High
Dream High is definitely up there on my list of my top three favorite K-Dramas. It has at least one aspect anybody can relate to. There's falling into unrequited love, being self-conscious about your body, jealousy, being so dedicated to something that you risk your health to accomplish it, and so much more.
The second season disappointed me, but it was because I had such high hopes for it due to the first season. However, if it were a standalone series, I would have liked it a lot more. Dream High made me cry along with the characters, made my heart melt at adorable romances, made me laugh, and put me through a whirlwind of emotions like no other drama.
The characters are all amazing singers, dancers, and actors. I may sound like such a nerd because of this review, but please, watch this amazing show so you can understand why I desire for it to be put into the top ten list so much.

Emergency Couple
Totally loving it! It's kind of miserable in some scenes, but it's hilarious too! It's about a divorced couple who meet again after six years and work together at the same hospital. Jin Hyuk finds himself falling for Ji Hyo again, but Ji Hyo starts developing feelings for their chief. Instead of being childish like he was when he was younger, Jin Hyuk handles things more maturely, and they begin to understand each other.
Not only that, they also start to figure out the reason for their divorce and try to fix it. Ji Hyo then slowly discovers that Jin Hyuk is starting to understand her, and she begins to understand him. It has a great and realistic ending too! And don't forget, this drama inspired me to become a doctor!

Fated to Love You
I really like this Korean drama. When I started watching the first episode, I really got hooked on it. I even sleep very late just to watch it. I have been watching it for 2 straight days.
The actors really portrayed their roles very well. I really love Jang Hyuk and Jang Nara. The story is really tear-jerking. I never cried this much when watching dramas. It's like a rollercoaster ride. I was sobbing at certain parts of the drama, then laughing. The feeling is very overwhelming.
To the point that, after finishing the episode, I Googled the actors. I wish they will have another comedy-romance drama together. I love Lee Gun because he is so funny, but he loves Mi Young very much. More movies and dramas for both of you!

Marriage, Not Dating
Marriage, Not Dating was one of the funniest K-dramas I've ever watched. The best thing was that it never forgot it was a comedy. It had serious notes and drama, but it was always well-blended, and never far behind was the humor.
Not to mention, you have to watch it for the splendid Han Groo, who does an excellent job playing a 'noona'. I was immensely surprised to find out she was only 22. This drama was a cute, heartwarming, soul-wrenching, and hysterical look at love, and you shouldn't miss it.
It's awesome! It made me cry, laugh, and be angry all at the same time. I also think that the lead actors are very attractive. It's nice to watch a series that has attractive actors, in my opinion.
Nevertheless, it has a great story plot, and I would recommend it to you people!

To the Beautiful You
This was the first Korean drama that I've ever watched, and I'm so glad I did. Choi Minho did such an incredible job in this one, along with Sulli. The story is never dull or boring. Each episode is exciting in its own way. Just the plot on its own excites and never disappoints.
Lee Hyun Woo was the comic relief, and a really good one at that. His innocence and liveliness really add to the whole fun plot. The drama gives you all the butterflies. It's so funny how things play out for Sulli (Goo Jae Hee). I'm not sure if I spelled it right. Oh, and Exo has a guest performance. Now what else do you need to convince you to watch it? MUST WATCH.
This drama is my favorite drama of all those I have watched. I loved the fact that the girl attended a boys' school and already showed how strong she is. Both the male lead and the second male lead are very handsome and very admirable. I love the second male lead the most because he is the funniest and most adorable person in this drama. This drama shows jealousy very evidently between the girl's childhood friend and the male lead, making this story even more exhilarating to watch. This is truly a great drama that deserves to be in the top ten.

It's Okay, That's Love
I am completely mesmerized by this show. One of the most underrated shows, I believe. I totally fell in love with Jo In-sung and Gong Hyo Jin after watching the show.
The suspense, drama, and emotions in this one are spot on. I can't decide who was the best as everyone seems to have done an amazing job. And what do I even say about the OST? It's so good and perfectly matches the situations that they get stuck in your head. Breaking the cliches, this drama will surely be difficult to top for me. Highly recommended.
This drama should definitely be in the top 10! I mean, Playful Kiss is number three? Come on! It's a serious and enlightening drama with wit mixed in. At times it can be light, but it really tugs at your heartstrings. I cried watching this drama.
This is probably the best chemistry between two actors that I've seen in a long time. The supporting characters balance out the seriousness with their comedic dialogue. Overall, it's just a damn good drama. The fact it's not on the top 10 list is very disappointing. #smh

Rooftop Prince
A love that transcends hundreds and hundreds of years in time. And a king at that. Too cliché? Then how about this: this king is witty, amusing, and smart and finds out that the people he's met so far in the contemporary period are reincarnations of the people related to him within his time.
This hint is a step toward the death of an unknown loved one within his time - perhaps the trigger to everything and the reason why he can meet his lover only in a different time period. Heart-wrenching/cleansing. Bittersweet.
This should not be here. It should be at least in the top 5. This drama is such a yes-yes drama. It's so great, funny, and I just can't get enough of it.
The four main actors were so great. They even made me laugh so hard that I noticed tears coming from my eyes. They are so handsome, and the story plot is great, but I hate how the ending went. I thought they could be together, but they did not end up together. No worries, though. The ending is still great. It made me cry, by the way.

Hi! School - Love On
I watched this whole drama in three days, and I cried so much. It's crazy how I could get such strong feelings after only three days.
It's one of those bright and happy dramas that ends really well, with everyone being happy, even the bad guys. I really liked all the characters, and I shipped all the couples. The students' friendship and love were just so wonderful. It always made me smile.
I had been watching The Heirs before, and that's a very good drama too, but it didn't end well for everyone, and the whole drama was very dark and sad.
This was just the type of drama I needed.
Why is this not in the top 10? This is one of the best dramas I have ever seen. Even though there is a major age difference between the lead roles, they did seem to act and feel like they were 18-year-olds. Mostly in the beginning, it shows how different everyone is from each other. Bullies, nerds, dumb people, loners, etc. But toward the middle of the show, it begins to evolve into everyone showing compassion and love for each other, even though they may just be friends. In the end, I like how everyone was able to become friends despite their differences.

My Girlfriend Is a Nine-Tailed Fox
THIS is one of the best dramas ever. So seamless and very funny, with absolutely brilliant actors as the two main characters. They're not just pretty faces staring at each other languidly and dripping in cheese so that we forget that there is no plotline! I'm looking at you, Heirs!
Ah, what the hell happened to Korean dramas? Before, such dramas came by the dozen, and now, the last drama that I can remember watching that was actually great was Healer, and it came out in 2014!
Sad face.
This is the best drama I ever watched. The comedy made me laugh very much. The girl is a gumiho, a nine-tailed fox, who wants to become a real human. She meets a boy who wants to become an action actor. After he helps her become a human, she helps him with her powerful fox bead to fulfill his dream. I love this drama very much.

Kill Me, Heal Me
It's one of the best K-dramas that I've watched. It has all the ingredients, from romance and comedy to happiness, sadness, anger, and forgiveness. Plus, it carries a social message about child abuse and its impact on children's future lives, all due to their parents' selfish matters. The plot is engaging, not boring, and flows naturally.
And, of course, it features one of the best chemistries I've seen among leads in K-dramas. Two thumbs up for Ji Sung (Cha Do Hyun/Shin Se Gi, and his other 5 personalities, including the "cute" Ahn Yoo Na) and Hwang Jung Eum (Oh Ri Jin). They are awesome and very compatible with each other, starting from their Secret Love days. The other cast members also played their parts well. Daebak!
-
Flower Boys Next Door
The plot was very different from the dramas I usually watch. Enrique is really the most adorable thing on the planet. I kind of felt bad for the second lead, like I always do in almost every drama, but I fully support the canon because they are very cute together.
I was slightly annoyed by Park Shin Hye's character when she kept pushing Enrique away. The second pairing was also great, as they seemed to be made for each other. Loved it!
This show is so good and funny. It never got boring and was very, very funny. The main male character was so funny. I loved his personality.
It ended really well, not leaving you wondering what happened to the other characters in the show.
-
A Gentleman's Dignity
A Gentleman's Dignity is an amazing drama. I just finished it recently, and whoever the writer is, it is amazingly written. It has everything - heartbreaks, love, and comedy - all packed together.
After I finished one episode, I couldn't stop myself from watching the next. It's literally the best of all the dramas I've watched. The chemistry between each character is breathtaking.
And since the story revolves around the lives of four couples facing completely different relationship problems, it never becomes boring. It is a MUST-watch.
I like this drama because it's not just the story of one couple but of four couples, which makes it very interesting to watch. The different couples are somewhat connected. The chemistry of each couple is superb. This is one of the dramas that will keep you wanting to watch more and more.
