Rom-Com for The Soul
Rom-Com is my go to genre whenever I need something warm for my soul. It's very rare to find perfect story line as the plot is always on repeat and recycle by every drama out there. But still, there are a few that still make me laugh, smile and flutter. Here are my favorites among the cliche.

1. A Outra Oh Hae Young
Korean Drama - 2016, 18 episodes
My favorite rom-com of all time! Where do I start... I love how realistic the characters are, their struggle, their damaged and dysfunctional past, and all the imperfections. It give more rooms for growth and healing. Also the conflicts are relatable with real life. Love the main characters (Eric and Seo Hyun Jin) as well as supporting roles. The chemistry is great. The storyline is awesome with no loose ends. The comedy is sooo hilarious. THE KISS.. OMG THE KISS. I think the kiss alone is worth the watch.

2. O Que Houve Com a Secretária Kim?
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
Typical k-drama leads characters. Young, rich, handsome chaebol meets with strong, capable female lead, but very sweet chemistry. Minor conflicts with lots of manhwa-esque comedy.

Coming of age romance. Sweet young love that budding from friendship with a touch of comedy here and there. Bitter sweet slice of life in 1988 timeline.
