Playtime with Hakdo
Sangho's deadline for his PhD thesis is near & his future is looking murky... His only relief was smoking on the rooftop of his school building, where he meets a stranger called Hakdo, who's actually the brother of his colleague. Just when he though about trying to introduce themselves he witnessed Hakdo & his bawling ex-boyfriend (who also happens to be Sangho's ex-ex-ex-boyfriend). What's more, Sangho later learns that he and Hakdo have not one but many exes in common. This gets them talking and the two agree to have some fun, casual sex. They slowly start to develop feelings for one another and end up dating and even coming out. --> A realistic , non-cliche, reversible couple that slowly builds on a healthy relationship
Isn't it good?
About two best friends, Hyo-bin Jung who is often dumped by his girlfriend due to him being so close to his best friend Woo-chan. Their relationship changes 180 degrees when HB sees his friend, Woo kissing a guy on campus. Feeling jealous he confronts him and finds out about Woo's crush on him. Woo asks for a chance to date him, because he doesn't want to loose him and they end up trying it out. When HB's sister moves into his appartment, HB moves to Woo's app and their relationship starts to intensify, although they also miscommunicate a lot and are often insecure in their feelings. --> Their best friend is actually one of the stars in this, he always tries to make them make up until he realizes that they are actually dating lol - story is super slow-burn, realistic and I love it

S4 (r-19): They start working in the same company, which turns out to be the one of Taes dad (he didn’t tell Bom). The das is actually a sweetheart and accepts them as well after talking to their mom.

Love So Pure
Absolute favorite of mine - About multiple couples that get together. First coupe is Jihyun and Yohan: Jihyun was outed by his ex and forced to take absent time from university. When he comes back he runs into Yohan who's a pushover but absolutely his type. Due to some childhood trauma Jihyun has a crazy sex drive and starts to crush on Yohan and actually start being sex friends, even though Yohan wants to date. After ups and downs and misunderstandings (even working together) they start dating for real and Jihyung overcomes some of his problems of the past. All the while their nerd friend Daeshik gets involved into the whole gender and sexuality research as he felt that Yohans brother Yosef outs himself in front of him to protect Yohan and calls him ignorant. To prove his point that he's open he starts to hang out with Yosef and after a kiss he falls into a rabbit hole - they also end up dating and Daeshik helps Yosef get out of the gang and get over a lot of regret issues he has of the past. --> Fave couple I think. --> Absolutely green flag story - loved the character development of everyone, nobody did fucked up shit and they are honestly such a cool group (especially Daeshik)
