Rewatchable Romance

Best emperor I've ever seen put to screen, best FL's family, too. Fluffy and yet dark. Many, many shades of gray. Most realistic show I've seen--while still being watchable. Main couple is adorable, but it does behoove one to keep in mind that the FL is only fifteen. Beware the completely unnecessary breakup of the two in the last few EP's, it's hair-tearingly stupid.

The cinematography of this show is breathtaking; the chemistry of the main leads to die for. The story too, is better than most all shows past and present. Truly the best revenge plot I've ever watched. It even has a happy ending!

Complex, but cute. Deals with some real problems while still being entertainingly unrealistic. A Cinderella story.  Only con: her excessive maidenly shyness. I mean, come on, you're married to him.

Cute and totally unrealistic. Fluffier than an unsheared alpaca. Makes me grin like a loon and melt inside. Favorite character: Manager Nam; bless his scheming heart.

More mature than most. FL is gorgeous, and allowed to be strong and intelligent. Beware the ending if you like the ML's 2nd in command, however. Stop at EP 33 for happy ending.

A more mature romance with great chemistry between the main leads. Does have a totally unnecessary misunderstanding/breakup arc that made me want to pitch it into the sea, but I still have a soft spot for this one.
