Korean romantic comedy dramas

Korean romantic comedy (rom-com) dramas pair a central love story with comedy, often built on familiar set-ups such as a workplace romance, a contract arrangement or a wealthy heir. Korean critics and directors describe these set-ups as a long-running formula that each new series reworks.
