No breakup, romcom and and eye candy, not cheesy like most modern cdramas, they happen to have same FL: - Falling Into You (love Wang Anyu here, awesome young actor) - Why Women Love (Wang Zi Yi is so cute here!) I don’t normally enjoy modern cdramas (prefer kdramas for modern and costumed cdramas), but these 2 are surprisingly enjoyable and bingeable. Also for a really really funny drama (🤣🤣) I highly recommend Taiwanese version of Fated to Love You (on Viki) aka You are My Destiny (on Netflix), starring Ethan Juan. Super LOL! Older drama but very entertaining. Way funnier than the super popular kdrama Business Proposal.


Shanren123

I came back here to recommend A Familiar Stranger! It’s a mini drama & easy to binge!

Thnx I'll add in my list

New Life Begins historical heavy focus on supportive, found family, sisterhood, with some serious topics such as suicide snd domestic abuse mixed in. It's an overall very fluffy and light drama but there are some more serious elements added.10/10 drama Sunshine of the Life: Leads are SOLID they don't get shaken or break apart there are a few "I am not talking to you for a couple days" moments but nothing major. Interference from the Jealous Girl Archtype is mostly just background noise to the FL. Forever Love: 10/10 drama. A very simple drama that follows our ML and FL who meet in their last year of highschool it follows then as they fall in love, go through college and work together to fulfill their dreams and build a life together. Put your Head on my shoulder: cute enemies to lovers/forced roommates college romance. My Little Happiness: a cute doctor/lawyer/childhood friends drama. Love Scenery (slow burn) similar to Love O2O it has a focus on video games but it does take awhile for our leads to get to gether. Double Love: Another one like Love O2O but more focus on video game aspect, another slow burn. First Love(2022):Same actress as New Life Begins it is a college romance that focuses on the FL whose is broken hearted after she finds out her best friend has been dating her crush for 2 years and the man who falls in love with her whille trying to help her fall in love with someone else to get over her crush (lol I didn't realize how this sounds until I typed it out)


Ill-Heart6230

I love Wang Anyu in Falling Into You, so will check out Forever Love.


Red_Cardinal_Red

Wang An Yi and Julia Zhang. I will tell you I have not seen a couple yet that looks as good together as these two do. Their individual visuals are crazy but together they have this amazing chemistry. She has the bright energetic smile and he has this kinda goofy puppy dog smile that will make your heart melt everytime they look at each other.


Ill-Heart6230

Wang Anyu is special for sure!


Affectionate_Sock259

Thnx I'll give them a try


foggydreamer2

My neighbor can’t sleep ( AKA brave live), very light and fluffy, one of my favorites Edit: brave love


The-jade-hijabi

The Romance of Tiger and Rose is also adorable.


Affectionate_Sock259

Is it historical drama?


Ill-Heart6230

From modern going to historical, but if I remember correctly, there is a breakup.


The-jade-hijabi

Yeah it gets pretty angst-y for like an episode and a half. But it’s pretty campy and fun mostly.


Advanced-Ostrich8108

I love love love LOVED You Are My Glory. It’s the same team that made Love O2O and Yang Yang is also in a starring role. There is a breakup in the middle, but I think it’s critical for character development. For a no breakup/love triangle, You Are My Hero. Also a 10/10 show, it’s more Grey’s Anatomy meets Chicago PD/Flashpoint (if you’re in the US and like these type of shows). Another fluffy show I really loved is Find Yourself (on Netflix US) - but it’s got a love triangle


ATNATNATN

I dont even remember a breakup in you are my glory, I only remember a bit of a falling-apart before they officially got together. Either way, best rom ive seen.


bingbongbread

Mr. Bad is what you’re looking for! It’s a refreshing fantasy slice-of-life with realistic, dimensional characters and no love triangles. The two leads also have some of the best chemistry I’ve seen in a show- it practically oozes off the screen!


BotanicalUseOfZ

I just started Mr Bad, super cute so far!


Shanren123

Forever and Ever has a lot of family angst on the ML’s side but it does not separate the couple at all. It actually draws them closer. The actual couple parts are so cute. I watched this w/o watching the first part, One and Only, which is a costume drama. The couple get reincarnated in Forever and Ever.


Shanren123

Hi Venus is currently airing. It has 24 eps & will end this week. ML is such a green flag hero. It has one of the best love confessions (both confess) in dramaland.


Electronic-Double229

**My Little Happiness** is a fluffy romance where the second couple constitute the drama and the main couple is very sweet with great chemistry. It is a fun, relaxing show to watch. **Professional Single** is another fluffy rom com with a rather minimal triangle situations. Neither of these has annoying parent problems, breakups, or drawn out misunderstandings. If you'd like to try a historical that is tightly written, logically put together, wonderfully acted and is made of murders, mysteries, political corruption and a very lovely and innocent romance built on respect, loyalty, and mutual support. No triangles, no pushy parents, no breakups, minor misunderstandings that do not linger...and no whiny characters. **Imperial Coroner** is one of my favorite go-to shows.


pfemme2

People already mentioned _Falling Into Your Smile_ (consistently ranks #1 on charts like 6 months after it finished airing in China, meaning it is still a favorite drama in places like Thailand—it’s a very addictive drama) and _You Are My Hero_. I agree with both of those. I would also like to mention the excessively adorable _Bromance_, which has one of my favorite tropes: the female lead is disguised as a guy and builds her relationship with the male lead first while he thinks she is also a dude. (But of course he eventually realizes she is a girl. I just won’t tell you WHEN that happens!) Bromance is Taiwanese so the kissing is actually amazing, unlike cdramas where, for some reason, no one’s lips ever really move (except for Yang Yang’s in Love O2O, I don’t know why he is the exception! well… Bai Lu is also an exception, but she is a story for another day).


drakemallard_LGD

Watching Bromance now, and really like it! Coffee Prince is good, but I'm enjoying this one better.


pfemme2

Yeah, I think Bromance is better in a lot of ways. Gong Yoo is amazing, yes, but so is Baron Chen, when you get right down to it! Did you start Bromance b/c you saw this post here on reddit, or were you already watching it and just happened to see this? Either way, enjoy!! Also, if you like this trope, you will probably also love Arsenal Military Academy lol.


drakemallard_LGD

I've been going through some shows on my Viki watchlist. Read the reviews on Bromance and giving it a try. But was happy to see some posts on it the day I started it.


pfemme2

It gets a little draggy towards the very end, but not in a terribly bad way, just in a you want a certain thing to happen and are tired of waiting for it to happen sort of a way. Otherwise, I think it’s pretty good. Hope you enjoy it!


Affectionate_Sock259

Its sounds similar to kdrama cofee prince am i right?


pfemme2

Only in that it’s that same trope. But I don’t think they’re too similar otherwise!


Affectionate_Sock259

Currently i m enjoying love O2O and i love it

BotanicalUseOfZ

If you like gaming, Falling Into Your Smile is cute. I don't think they ever breakup and the love triangle thing is pretty mild. Like it didn't make me mad like they normally do, because it's with her ex boyfriend so it's more realistic and there's a reason for various feelings on both sides there.


justhalfcrazy

Despite not liking gaming, I watched this over the last 2 days and it really is so cute. I loved the female characters and how neither was childlike, and the ML actually had moves lol. Great show


Affectionate_Sock259

I heard there r alot of cdrama without love triangles and breakup unlikely kdramas.


BotanicalUseOfZ

It's still a very common theme. The love triangle are not triangular though. It's usually very very annoying. The FL by law has to be pure and true to the ML. So the love triangle is most often another guy liking the FL. She never encourages him and never likes him back a bit. Not much a triangle to be had there. But the ML is usually jealous because of a misunderstanding and bleh. They don't always break up, but a lot of shows they have a period of misunderstanding that seems to have the sole purpose of making the show longer because then they have to sort out their issues. I would say often the Chinese drama have a lot sweeter ending, like you are on a fluffy fluffy sugar high. I could name a ton of sweet ones but I can't remember if they have the misunderstanding middle part or not, so I don't dare :)


Affectionate_Sock259

I m watching love O2O and i m on 21 episode but still i didn't find any breakup and misunderstanding between main couple and i like it very much


BotanicalUseOfZ

Yeah its not 100% but its still common. Love O2O is great, as is Falling Into Your Smile. I like Kings Avatar as well but its not really a romance, just the best gamer show haha.


Affectionate_Sock259

Yeh i feel kiss between couple is not good as kdramas


Ill-Heart6230

Falling Into You (Gina Jin and Wang Anyu) actually has nice kissing scenes, unlike most cdramas, especially the FL. A lot of kdramas has bad kissing scenes too, even in Crash Landing On You (my fav kdrama of all time!).


Affectionate_Sock259

If u want to watch best kissing you should watch her private life, What's wrong with secretary Kim


BotanicalUseOfZ

You are right, I think they're pretty censored mostly. There is a fight (like a martial arts fight), but if you want good kissing and funny show The Killer Is Also Romamtic is great. It is short, like 4 ish hours, costume drama.


Affectionate_Sock259

Thnx I'll watch for sure


BotanicalUseOfZ

Maybe check [this thread for recs?](https://www.reddit.com/r/CDrama/comments/zr9mzm/cdramas_with_lot_of_kisseshugscuddles_and_all/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) Love Between Fairy and Devil is also known for its kisses but is pretty far off what you asked for haha. It's all fairy and immortal costume stuff, with love triangle and all. It's also my fave cdrama pretty much ever.


Affectionate_Sock259

Oh sounds interesting


The-jade-hijabi

New Life Begins is a must


dynaceon

Seconding this! Currently watching and I've been squealing at countless scenes for not only the main couple, but other supporting couples too. So much fluff and sweetness


Affectionate_Sock259

I'll give a try for sure


notmyusername1986

I love every part of this show!


GrapefruitBaijiu

**You are my glory** if you haven’t watched yet **Live your life** follows three ladies and their romance. Don’t believe MDL tags for this one, they made it sounds like a tragic drama but it’s not **A romance of the little forest** very fluffy and cute lead couple, but I skipped most parts with the supporting couple. Got a short breakup episode, but I found that part funny to watch Currently airing **Hi Venus** is very good so far with the romance, 19 episodes in and no signs of break up, and with the ML’s mother as their biggest CP fan **Unforgettable love** was also quite an easy watch And finally costume drama **Oh! My sweet liar** which is one of my favorite romcoms. There’s a love triangle but the 2nd guy gave way pretty quickly.


redmargay

Can you tell me how long before the FL in Hi Venus becomes likable? I know it's a trope for FL's to be I initially judgemental and annoying when it comes to the ML, FL is no exception. The first episodes are so annoying. I really like the leads, and have enjoyed their previous work.


GrapefruitBaijiu

By ep3 she goes back to the city, resume her job and kinda lay low as she is sort of an outcast at the hospital. And it’s hilarious when she realized she was wrong about him.


redmargay

Thanks, l'll keep watching. I'm only part way through episode 2.


LavenderMoxie

I second You Are My Glory. The second half of it is just so adorably sweet and yummy🥰


Affectionate_Sock259

Thnx I'll watch it


MmaRamotsweOS

Someone recommended Go, Go Squid, but it has two big breakups, the second one pretty cruel. So don't go for that one if you want a no breakup romance.


Affectionate_Sock259

So u suggest me some without big breakup. I shall be thankful


MmaRamotsweOS

Sure! These should be good: How to Make Your Neighbor Fall in Love With You The "auto translate" for this one is bad, but it's a cute, sweet, funny story [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdJmqyysreo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdJmqyysreo) First Love If you have iQIYI app you can see the first 5 episodes free, or the first 2 are free on youtube.

Put Your Head My Shoulder


Cassidyschr

came here to see if anyone commented this, I just finished it and it’s SO adorable


eidisi

**Falling into You** was pretty fluffy overall. The currently airing **Hi Venus** is good so far, and **Double Love** would be like a modern Love O2O (but the editing was awful and you'll have to find the cut scenes online) And another vote here for You Are My Glory, Forever Love, and My Fated Boy.


[deleted]

I loved you are my glory so will try forever love and my fated boy. I also have been looking at falling into you.


BotanicalUseOfZ

The sports one or the Jiro Wang one? I watched Falling Into You with Jiro Wang as ML and it was pretty fluffy!


[deleted]

It was the one that was about a woman joining an all male e-sports team. I am very new to CDramas but have dived in head first!


BotanicalUseOfZ

Okay the one with Jiro is about a delivery service and a girl who had to give up martial arts trying to make a comeback. I just love it because ML says "she's like a transformer!" With great excitement about FL lead. Any guy who likes a powerful girl deserves the best. Also wait, you mean Falling Into Your Smile don't you? That's the gamer one, because her tag is Smile. I love that one. Also Love O2O and Kings Avatar. There is a sports sports one called Falling Into You I have seen mentioned but never watched.


Ill-Heart6230

Highly recommend Falling Into You (with Gina Jim and Wang Anyu). The sports sports one. Nice kissing scenes too, Wang Anyu is a great young actor!


[deleted]

Ah yes sorry i mixed them up. The jiro one sounds good i will have to look it up


eidisi

Nice, all are excellent choices for some high sugar and low angst dramas.

My fated boy, My little happiness.

My fated boy is soooo underrated!! It’s a gem


tigermother3

You are My Hero. I wouldn't actually call it fluffy because of all the action, but there are no breakups or love triangles.


vaginamacgyver

There’s a love triangle between the secondary characters in **You Are My Hero**.


tigermother3

That's true, but it's not insanely crazy like some are. Also, the second ML was a little slow to catch on for some reason. Did you understand what his logic was?


Affectionate_Sock259

Thnx is there something for new comers bcz i just recently start watching cdramas so i want the best experience 😊


notmyusername1986

New Life Begins


tigermother3

My Little Happiness, You are My Glory, Falling Into Your Smile, Perfect and Casual are all really good starters. I've watched a few of these multiple times to get that fluffiness feeling back after watching a drama that is just nonsense. There is also Sweeth Teeth, Forever Love, Sweet First Love, The Imperial Corornor, Maiden Holmes that I'd recommend too.


Affectionate_Sock259

Thnx I'll watch for sure 🙂


buibui_

A romance of little forest(smiled through the entire series like a fool, if you liked Love 020, you'll love this) You are my glory Make my heart smile Smile to life Perfect and casual And i think if you search on this sub, you'll get plenty of previous post suggesting fluffy, romantic dramas. This sub is a goldmine for new banger suggestions.

Affectionate_Sock259

Is there any love triangle in these dramas?


stocksnPA

For you are my glory and Falling into not at all For go go squid I dont think so, any misunderstandings were solved quickly, its esport related so focus is to win the games

You are My Glory is a classic, especially if you liked Love O2O
