Bridgerton
IMDb: 7.4/10, Rotten Tomatoes: 84%
Bridgerton is royalty, Bridgerton is Beauty, and Bridgerton is Love. This series received immense viewership and fandom for its regality and grandeur. It’s set in early 18th-century London, where princes, princesses, viceroys, and viscountesses participate in a ball to find their romantic prospects. All three seasons have connected stories with an exceptional fashion backdrop. Every character and every soundtrack is worth it.
When life gives you Tangerines
IMDb: 9.3/10, Rotten Tomatoes: 100%
Netflix is filled with many romantic K-drama options, but this very recent chartbuster, “When Life gives you Tangerines,” is what you need right now. It shows old-school love, which is a very rare view. Thus, it portrays our heroine’s first love, heartbreak, marriage, etc.—all of her life in every stage. It sounds so basic, but that’s the charm of this drama. From everyday chaos to finding peace at the end of life. This is a complete treat.
Heartstopper
IMDb: 8.5/10, Rotten Tomatoes: 98%
Just as the name suggests, this British web series is heartstoppingly cute and warm to watch. This new age romantic comedy TV series is about the first love between middle school gay teens Charlie and Nick. Additionally, they encourage LGBTQ love in bright colours and explore the concept of maturity in their lives. So all three seasons have cheerful and soft-hearted content. I watched all of them in a single stretch. It’s that good.
Little Things
IMDb: 8.2/10, Rotten Tomatoes: 79%
Proud to say, this indian modern-day web series is relatable to so many couples. Little Things explores the life of a young couple working full-time in Navi Mumbai. Likewise, it depicts the beauty of late-night dates, simple breakfasts, silly fights, career decisions, long-distance commitments, and more. It shows reality, it’s original, and if you watch, you might be the Kavya or Dhruva of someone’s life with the same struggles and love.
Descendants of the Sun
IMDb: 8.2/10, Rotten Tomatoes: 95%
Can you imagine love set in war? A handsome, dutiful South Korean soldier falls head over heels in love with a beautiful surgeon. “DOTS” is one of Netflix’s staple choices of romantic comedy series. It’s well-known for its plotline & swoon-worthy movements of love. In fact, the main cast married just after six months of doing this K-drama. It’s a happening 16-episode viral TV series, enough to keep you in the mood all week.
Conclusion:
Love is power, & romance is compassion between two people. It’s loud and wild in some dramas. While it’s soft, sweet, and genuine in other shows. Irrespective of barriers, it’s just the presence of someone that makes your heart beat faster. I have given only the best out of hundreds of options. These shows are the benchmark for perfect romantic dramas. So what’s your first pick?
