Great! these 3 are the closest genre I can suggest. But, if you also watch historical dramas there are also good romance dramas I can suggest, but historical dramas have usually longer number of episodes.

Well Intended Love, Love is Sweet, My Little Happiness

These are some I remembered that leads have great chemistry, skinships and decent story.

I watched this because Richard Li's in it. Not really fond of short mini series. This one is just not so Richard Li's drama. It totally lacked kisses and skinships. Such a low budgeted drama. Screen size is just like taken from a mobile phone. I feel sad for Richard Li. He definitely deserve a full length drama. Just a 6.5 for me.

I've been contemplating to watch this and decided to give it a go. My first time to watch Zhang Zi Yi in a drama. Usually see her in movies like Memoirs of Geisha and Crouching Tiger hidden Dragon. Story plot is basically a cliche for a Historical drama where there is greed for power, Politics in the Monarchy and Yes, the anticipating romance between a General and a Princess.
I like the cinematography and good fight scenes by the ML. One thing I like about this drama, inspite of having 68eps., the romance started quite an early phase. No need to wait halfway for the real deal romance between the leads. So, am currently at ep. 14 and the heart fluttering moment began at ep. 13. Hope , the romance will be sustained till the end. Will update my post once I have completed the drama.

At this point, I've completed the drama. This should have been tagged as Reverse Harem. I just don't have points to tag it. I think around 5 men fell in love with FL here. The story plot also reminded me of Oh My General and Truth or Dare. There are some scenes in the drama that can also be seen in those above-mentioned. As expected, there are lots of bloodshed, treachery and deception. A bit predictable for me after watching so many historical dramas. But, I have to commend the actors of the entire cast are truly Awesome! Zhang Zi Yi's beauty is still a classic. But, I have to agree with some. Still, would have preferred a younger ML and FL. ML's character is not that ideal but likeable. He may not be as dashing as the other actors who portrayed General but he slayed his role. Like, He was able to pull of that General character and made him the most handsome General in this drama. hehehe There are some character that i least like in this drama, one is Su Jin Er, I just hate her character from the start when she was still a maid to FL. she's already showing signs of obssession to 3rd Prince. and the other is Yu Xiu, inspite of her being loyal and nice to FL when she was still her maid, I find her become greedy after she got married to Gen. Song. Like, it's so obvious that Song is really not into her but she thinks she's already somebody after being married to him. Her character might be pitiful but that suicide for me is a selfish act of just being too obssessed with her husband. she didn't even think about the welfare of their child. And I find her acting too exaggerated.

So FL's beauty is such a killer, that 3 of the men who fell in love with her died literally. I just have 2 questions left for this drama. One, Zitan is still the Emperor after being proven that he plotted the assassin attempt to the late emperor or his brother in Luanying Mountain if I got the place correct? Like, why was he never got punished or imprisoned perhaps? Second, who's taking care now of Ji'ner or the baby of the late emperor and empress? Did Wang Su'er and Princess Caien took responsibility in the end? I must have skipped that part and didn't notice.

Anyways, overall, it was a good drama. Still, 68 eps is too long. this would have been good to only around 30-40eps. Have to frwrd scenes specially in the middle part where it tends to be draggy. So many have died, which is one downside for me. And yeah, probably, since the leads are abit mature, I find the kisses and skinships quite lacking. One thing I noticed, ML looked a bit younger when he had the mustache compared at the beginning when he had that neat look.
It's an 8.5 for me.

That's your opinion, i respect that. I've already made my statement here and that's what i firmly believe in. We have different views and opinion.
Honestly, the mom didn't do such things for her son, but she overdid things for herself, because she's too afraid about others' opinion on their family. She doesn't have to ruin the FL's life and even affect her family just for the sake of her son. That's too much. FL is also a daughter to her parents, for sure FL's parents are hurt also because of what ML's mother did. That mother is not normal, she's psychologically ill and should seek therapy or treatment.

Probably, I just don't like the FL in Love at Night. Her acting is so lame in all her dramas. However, I read a recent article that she and LXY are currently dating with pictures caught by paparazzi.

So, i started out this drama trying to check what slices of life can it offer about marriage. Am just currently on ep. 4. I think 38 eps is a long way to go. But, so far, this drama doesn't feel inspiring at this point. The FL honestly, is not ideal for me. She thinks too highly of herself. it's always a compromise between a married couple how will you divide your time to raise your kid. I don't think money is an issue for this couple. I guess, it's about mutual respect with each other's personal preference. Like the FL wants to pursue music and the ML doesn't support it. Now she wants to revive her career just to prove her worth. Probably, modern women does prefer having a career and a family at the same time. True, it's all about time management and balance. Some are really okay with that arrangement. In my POV, I still prefer to be a a stay home mom and wife. I know how it feels to be tossed around as a kid when both of your parents are busy working. A devoted mom to her child will always be priceless no matter what. And for marriage, taking care of your husband is part of your devotion as well. a wife who cooks and takes care of his husband and kid usually results to a harmonious family life. If money is really not an issue, being a housewife doesn't give any less of a value as a woman.
I might put this on hold, it's sending me a stressful vibe because of the FL.

It really depends on the viewer I guess. Probably GenZ's would appreciate this and give it a high rating. But, for those who prefer a mature setting like me, it's either a drop or a skip scenes for me. 😁
Yeah, give it a try. You may like it, surprisingly. 😊

And so it seems that you've seen most of Haru's drama.
Not familiar with Eguchi, but, upon checking she's also included in Love and Fortune. I think I missed out the role that she played. Was she the big sister of the FL there?

Okay i'll tick on the spoiler alert. I just think I didnt spilled anything to spoil the audience.. Just gave a short synopsis and honest opinion about the drama. 😆🙃

I think the alter name for this drama is Animal type Lovers. Yes, they used animals to symbolize the kind of life they want to perceive figuratively.

I've been wonderin' where I have seen these two: FL and SML. When I saw the recommendations section, oh yeah, these 2 are the leads in Kakafukaka. I think the chemistry of these 2 are much better in that drama. First time to watch ML in a drama. Yes, he's goodlooking, but, that charm wasn't able to give that heart fluttering moment for me. Story plot is very plain and simple. not really interesting. The ending is just a meh as well. Generously gave this a 6.5 for some kisses and skinships. But, for a romance drama, the chemistry is just too lacking for me.

Oh yeah, but, literally, I didn't see any character growth on all Haru's role in all of her dramas. lols
Lost interest in watching Remolove after seeing she's the lead.

This is a decent watch drama. The characters aren't likeable I should say. From the leads to supporting casts. ML is very passionate with his career, also with love, very loyal but, what idon't understand, he wants to live with FL forever but doesn't want to marry her. As for the FL, I understand how she felt and what she has to go through with the people surrounding her. But, of course, just like any other women, she felt she needed security in a relationship and that is marriage, in which ML couldn't give her, up to the end. It's just hard to understand a man wants to live with you forever but doesn't want to get married. Does it make sense? Like how about having kids later on?
Anyways, still gave this drama an 8 for being able to show a realistic scenario. Yes, there will always be some hateable characters such as FL's mom and previous affair Mr. Takanayagi. How I really hated those lines when he said it's okay for younger women to have an affair with older men but not older women with younger men...that's so pathetic!
And yes, this drama deserve a higher rating at least for the steamy kisses and intimate scenes. Chemistry of the leads is definitely on fire.

So this is a drama special. I thought it's a movie, since it lasted only for an hour with a single episode. Story is not so interesting to begin with. Just a typical first love story. And yeah, the typical Jdrama romcoms with all the exaggerations in expression. Just a 7.5 for me. Btw, Konno is more good looking than the ML.

Just been browsing for some romance drama and encountered this. Quite hesitant at first, as I've never been a fan of Mike He from his younger days in The Devil Beside You. but, the story plot itself got me hooked to this drama from ep. 1.

Currently just on ep. 4. First, I liked that it's fast paced. Second, I like the maturity of the topic. Like, it's a melodrama but not heavy yet so far. I liked how the realities of married life is being showcased.
Will update post once I progress further in the show.

So, at this point I have completed the show. Surprisingly, I loved it. I find this too underrated. Probably, it didn't gave much vibe to young audiences. Story plot is too ordinary that tackles issues on marriage and simply having a relationship which makes it a good plot for me. No major complications, only lack of communication among the couples. Their issue would have been resolved at an earlier part if the main leads were able to communicate the way they did in the end. ML's character is not the ideal type. He's very calculative, probably him being a math person in his work. He always wanted things to work his way as planned. In which, most things in life are better yet unplanned. Like, even having a baby for him needs all to be calculated. It feels like a task and not simply making it out of love. The FL, on the other hand is not too ideal either. She have always wanted a long lasting marriage yet she gave up easily and filed an immediate divorce without thinking twice or thrice and trying to resolve and talk things with her husband. Marriage is all about compromise and choosing to stay to make things work out. There's always no easy way to everything. But, usually things work out if both of you agree to understand, respect and fully trust each other including your life.

I like how this drama ended even if it was resolved on the end itself. The only least character for me to like is Ke Fang. Like, girl, you should have given up from the start. Obviously, since College the guy is not into you.. Even tried to manipulate guy's married life just to initiate her selfish intentions.

A very touching moment on FL's dad passing. Another hateable character was SML's dad. SML is such a tease towards FL. Overall, gave this drama an 8.5. Truly deserve a higher rating for me.

I've putting this on hold on ep. 8. Am just not feeling the chemistry between the leads. been skipping a lot. Too draggy for me. I'm just curious if Sara will live amidst the premonition Mikoto saw. One thing that made this drama down is the lack of skinships and sweet moments by the leads. It is really impossible for them to be able to have a normal couple life if they live with their siblings, like there's no privacy at all. They can't even be lovey dovey in front of them. This is just so frustrating for a romance drama. and that I gave this a 3.0

Thought the story was interesting, but when I saw the FL, lost my interest in the drama already. This was the 3rd drama that I saw her. same acting. so reserved like minimal skinships and kissing. ML supposedly the boss isn't an interesting character either. SML looks more of the ML than the boss. dropped this at ep. 1. Can't stand how pathetic the FL was. Like, she has already been dumped for another woman, yet, she slept again with her ex.

Haven't started this yet, but definitely be watching because of Arthur Chen. Missed him since Ever Night. 🥰

I rarely watch melo jdramas. First time to see the leads in a drama. Nao is a natural beauty. Fujigaya is quite good looking himself. Am just not a fan of those curls which is so common in Japanese ML. Story plot for me is quite bland. Not so interesting. I felt pity for the FL for she deserves to be loved and taken care of by someone who's fully devoted to her. ML's character is really not ideal TBH. Being stuck in the past, losing his voice. mentally and emotionally not being able to move on badly needs psychological therapy.
The writer obviously tried to make a happy ending, but it didn't felt good. Like a lot of things are lacking. There's no actual confession from the ML that he likes or he loves FL. Kisses and skinships are so limited, you won't feel the passion for love at all. Because of that, it's just a 6.5 for me. I think that's being generous enough.
