5. My Liberation Notes (2022)

It's heavy, yes, but it'll have you believing in forgiveness and growth.

8. One Spring Night (2019)

Han Ji-min and Jung Hae-in do a mature romance with all its messy realities — breakups, past commitments, and fresh beginnings. It's a low-key, realistic portrayal of how difficult, and beautiful, it is to love again after life's disappointments.

9. It's Okay to Not Be Okay (2020)

11. Run On (2020–2021)

Romance between two very different people — a sheltered athlete and a fiercely independent translator — presents new conflicts and revelations. Im Si-wan and Shin Se-kyung portray a love based on equality, vulnerability, and personal development.
