Quantcast

Looking for dramas like Perfect Couple where there's an arranged/forced marriage between ML and some girl (not FL lead) but she doesn't want to marry him so she runs away/disappears/etc. and FL takes her place and marries ML instead. Dramas I've watched with similar scenario are: Cuo Dian Yuan Yang / Xi Dian Yuan Yang and Nothing Gold Can Stay.

It'd be nice if the drama also satisfies any of these criteria, but if not that's fine :)

  • Periodical/historical C-dramas preferred, if it's rom-com even better, but I'm open to anything and any country as long as there's a happy ending
  • Bickering couple or ML/FL dislike each other at first but then fall in love
  • Considerable amount/lots of sweet moments; somewhat fluffy/light (aka, not sad or tragic)
  • Can have the typical misunderstandings, break-ups/separations, but needs to have happy ending

If there are none others where FL takes the runaway bride's place, feel free to recommend some periodical/historical dramas with just arranged/forced marriage (same criteria above is a plus). I've already watched: Oh My General, Princess Silver, and probably a bunch others but that's all I remember off the top of my head. Thanks ^^

  • Padiwarada (Thai | Historical) - my fave of this type of scenario

I'm still not done with the drama but Legend of Yun Xi has arranged marriage. not the runaway bride but fits other requirements. i think it has ____open____ / ____sad-ish_?___ ending (based on some spoilers that i saw but dont trust me on this)

+1 for Chef Fang/Hua Jian Ti Hu Fang Da Chu, this drama is just too cute!! :) 

Also, Cinderella Chef is kind of similar (both have a cook female lead, and arranged/fake marriage), but it's more complicated and much more angsty (but still a happy ending)

thanks everyone, they all sound interesting! will look into them :)
