if I had a dollar for every time the ML and the FL in a kdrama had unknowingly met each other in the past (children/teens/past lives) I'd have an uncountable number of dollars

the frenemies-to-lovers trope in dramas like doctor slump and hometown cha cha cha is for the girlies who grew up too fast and very quickly learned how to behave in polite society but secretly yearn for relationships where they're allowed to live out their childhood fantasies and engage in what society deems "immature acts" without judgement and also reciprocation of those same childish behaviours so that they feel accepted and part of a group even when they're not trying their very best to fulfill their role in aforementioned polite society

Healthy Relationship kdrama recommendations!
1. Hometown Cha Cha Cha
Has a great plot line and wraps everything up in such a satisfying way! The main couple has so much chemistry, whether it be bickering or romance and it portrays the most realistic healthy relationship I've seen in a kdrama!
10/10 enemies to friends to lovers with a balanced attraction to each other and great chemistry
2. King the Land
The main couple is the power couple of healthy relationships and circumvent all the traditional tropes in a way that makes you launch your fist in the air with delight! I could not stop squealing at how cute they were! The chemistry was so good and it's the fluffiest kdrama I've ever seen with pretty much no conflict, making it the best drama to just cuddle up to.
10/10 ultimate comfort drama where the guy is whipped and the girl reciprocates perfectly with great chemistry
3. Touch Your Heart
She is the ultimate sunshine character and is so sweet that you'll fall for her (I was ready to protect her with my life) so imagine how deep the male lead falls for her. It's so adorable with both of them navigating a relationship for essentially the first time and they're really cute! The most trust I've ever seen in a kdrama relationship, it's amazing! There is one hard episode but it only happens because of external factors.
10/10 sunshine/grumpy who softens up and loves her adorably, with a trusting healthy relationship and great chemistry
4. Love to Hate You
Short, sweet and to the point, perfect for binge watching over a weekend since it's 10 episodes. Main couple has a realistic healthy relationship and great communication between them. No skippable parts and you can see how they both grow on each other in a really sweet way.
10/10 bingeworthy drama where the guy falls first and the girl is a feminist icon with a healthy relationship and good chemistry
5. Run On
Slice of life type kdrama that focuses on two couples. The main couple starts out awkwardly but grows to have more chemistry, they're pretty lowkey and subtle about their relationship. Second couple is peak sunshine/grumpy pairing with the guy being the sunshine one. It follows everyone through their lives so you can see the characters grow and change over the course of the drama and the romance is simply a part of the bigger picture. Main couple has a really realistic healthy relationship.
10/10 in general as a kdrama since the characters really grow on you
9/10 in terms of romance since it's not the main point of the drama but does portray a really healthy relationship with pretty good chemistry
---------Other Dramas that are good but don't fall under the umbrella of Healthy Relationship---------
6. Because This Is My First Life
Follows three couples so the relationships range. Not necessarily healthy relationships (they get there in the end) but realistic and probably something relatable for everyone across the three couples. The character growth is satisfying to see by the end and the plot is good.
8/10 in terms of romance since it's spread across three couples so but overall it's pretty cute with pretty good chemistry with all three
7. Business Proposal
Cute kdrama with more comedy than romance points. Main couple is cute with the guy whipped but the girl resists too much for me to really love them as a couple. Second couple is super cute though and I really liked their chemistry!
7/10 in terms of romance for what felt like an unbalanced relationship with the main couple but a good relationship with the second couple
(I'll continue to update this list as I watch more)
