Need help with choosing my first Korean drama!

I've never watched a Korean drama before, but I'd like to and I need you help to fall in love with them! Only problem is, they are so many I wouldn't know where to start... So if you had to recommend the best of best, what would that be? Lately, I feel like watching either 1- Super funny comedy, even over-the-top (like Hana Kimi) as long as it's really funny and not just stupid...something to make me laugh real hard! or 2- Something very very romantic, with the couple struggling to be together...it can have some pretty serious and tragic stuff as long as the ending's good! Also, if possible, I'd love a school setting! Sooo....all you Korean drama lovers, I'm in you hands! Thanks in advance!!

49 Days perfectly fits your second criteria and it's a great drama :) Not a school setting though.

My first Korean Drama was "A Gentleman's Dignity", it might not make you laugh out loud like a crazy person, but it's pretty good, and it has all the romance... Go for it, it's awesome!

Princess hours (this my first kdrama and this drama awesome :D )

I agree with Playful Kiss!

so maybe you could try this one too as first Kdrama

You're Beautiful is what made me rediscover Asian Drama. As a mom, I was looking for something that I could watch with my kids aside from cartoons/anime without worrying about what they might see or hear and we tried this and voila it got us hooked.

The Princess' Man Coffee Prince (very funny) Shining Inheritance Innocent Man ( a must watch in my opinion)
