Here’s a list of Korean romantic comedies on Netflix that will keep you hooked — binge-worthy enough to keep you up all night. From must-watch new releases to hidden gems and legendary dramas, this list is packed with only the good stuff. For reference, I really don’t like overly dramatic or unrealistic plots — so everything I’m recommending here has a solid story, great chemistry, and won’t disappoint.
1. Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha (2021)
Starring Kim Seon-ho and Shin Min-a, this heartwarming romantic drama is set in a peaceful seaside village. It’s a sweet story of the charming but blunt Mr. Hong and a perfectionist dentist who ends up opening a clinic in the town. While the reason he ended up in Gongjin might feel a little silly, the overall plot is solid and the acting is top-notch.
2. The Build-Up Family (2024)
Starring Jung Chaeyeon, Hwang Inyeop, and Bae Hyunseong, this Korean-style high-teen drama tells the story of unrelated people living under the same roof and slowly becoming a real family. Full of warmth and some romantic sparks, it's a healing drama that sadly didn’t get the attention it deserved — definitely worth a watch on Netflix!
3. Strong Woman Do Bong Soon (2020)
Starring Park Hyung-sik and Park Bo-young, this is a romantic comedy with a touch of fantasy and thriller. The chemistry is adorable, the story engaging, and it’s easy to binge-watch.
4. Suspicious Partner (2017)
Starring Ji Chang-wook, Nam Ji-hyun, Choi Tae-joon, and Kwon Nara, this legal romance combines courtroom drama with thrilling twists. It's also known for that legendary kiss scene from Ji Chang-wook. If you're into law and love, this one’s a must-watch.
5. My Perfect Secretary (2025)
Starring Han Ji-min and Lee Jun-hyuk, this buzzworthy drama tells the story of a perfectionist boss and the secretary who turns his world upside down. Though it includes a few clichés, the two leads have such great chemistry that you'll love it regardless.
6. Our Beloved Summer (2021)
Starring Kim Da-mi and Choi Woo-shik, this drama was inspired by a real-life high school documentary about a top student and a bottom-ranked student. It’s a slow-burn romance full of emotional depth and beautifully portrayed character growth.
7. Doctors (2016)

8. Business Proposal (2022)
Starring Kim Se-jeong and Ahn Hyo-seop, this one’s a lighthearted office romance. It’s not deep or groundbreaking, but it’s full of fun tropes and sweet moments — perfect for a casual binge.
9. Welcome to Samdalri (2023)
Starring Ji Chang-wook and Shin Hye-sun, this healing drama is set in the beautiful town of Samdalri, Jeju. A city dweller returns to her roots, rediscovering peace and love. It’s one of those shows that wraps you in a cozy hug.
10. Call It Love (2024)
Starring Chae Soo-bin and Yoo Yeon-seok, this drama is based on a web novel. It’s a bit cheesy and cringey at times, but Yoo Yeon-seok’s performance somehow makes it work. Surprisingly enjoyable despite the over-the-top moments.

13. Something in the Rain (2018)
Starring Son Ye-jin and Jung Hae-in, this emotional romance drama has a more mature tone. It’s not your usual rom-com — it deals with societal pressures, relationships, and personal growth, making it a deeply touching watch.
Bonus: One Spring Night (2019)
If you liked Something in the Rain, you’ll probably love this one too. Also starring Jung Hae-in and Han Ji-min, it shares the same calm, emotional tone.
14. Lovestruck in the City (2020)
