Okay, so, I'm going through a phase of my J-drama watch and I have been looking for some good romance dramas or movies.

Things I'm looking for: (Bonus if the drama has more than one of these)

  1. 1 - I really like school or young adult stories (but I am also open to really good stories surrounding adults as well)
  2. 2 - Angst (sometimes you need a good cry, right?) or, at the very least, some melodrama/dramatic elements
  3. 3- Tangible romance (I'm okay with the standard lip-to-lip kissing, but there's been a few dramas I've watched which were spectacular)

Some I really enjoyed in the past in this sort of genre:
