yes i know there are mixed genre cdramas, but op didn't seem interested which is why i suggested sticking to kdramas. it seems like a cultural difference for them (hence why they said cdramas are cringe and kdramas aren't). i don't really have kdrama recs because i'm not a big kdrama fan.

not necessarily kdrama "romcoms" but kdramas in general often interweave romance with other genres like thriller, fantasy, action, etc. i prefer c-romcoms over k-romcoms, but it seemed like op didn't care for it much. most of the cdramas you listed are fluff, melos, or historical which are acquired tastes.
examples of romance in mixed genre kdramas (not recommending, just listing): healer, flower of evil, w: two worlds apart, chicago typewriter, heartbeat, mystic pop up bar, vincenzo (a little), the k2, my name, mr queen, etc.
generally, a lot of c-romance seems to be more specifically romance and less mixed, besides historical. obviously this doesn't apply to every cdrama just generally. it's pretty obvious that op didn't care for c-fluff and prob won't like c-historical either though. they seem to prefer k-content.
i really love this show sm. it's hilarious and the couples are so cute. i wish people gave this show a chance for itself instead of going into it expecting or comparing it to s1
ep 4 was just wow. i have so many questions I'm confused.
i know you made this comment a year ago, but this is based on the kdrama perseverance goo hae ra where her childhood friend basically dies and then his long lost twin takes his place lol. i know, it's a wild concept. it's not fantasy, it's just not the greatest type of story.
sang zhi is actually SUCH a good gf which is so refreshing because i've seen a lot of fmls that aren't very good gfs at all. but sang zhi is legitimately a kind, caring, understanding, fun, dorky, and ofc gorgeous gf. i love how she's not a typical bubbly loud cdrama fml who's always optimistic. it's quite nice to see a fml that's a bit more layered and less tropey.
seen people recommend this after 'when i fly towards you' but i thought the first episode was bad. i didn't care…
if you feel bored already and skipping then i'd just drop it. it won't be as fast as wifty since the eps are longer and it's not set in school (which i've noticed is just easier to watch in general). there isn't much of a story. the popularity stems from how natural and healthy their relationship and acting is. the age gap is only evident when they're younger cuz it's a 5 year gap. he doesn't like her until she's an adult dw. but yeah rosy talks in a cutesy voice, it's pretty typical for cdrama actresses. sounds like it's just not for you tbh
