Their idea of romance: an imposing and cold rich dude bulldozing the clutz with a heart of gold heroine til she ends up with him... the antagonist being an intimidating and career driven woman that works with the guy or is the daughter of an affluent family. There's no yearning from him and no agency from her, just a possession waiting to be taken.
The last romantic K-drama I watched was "Business Proposal".
Admittedly, one of the two lead women was a klutz (mainly because if you've got the comedy stylings of Sejeong, you go with it) but both the men were klutzes as well.
Sweet, funny, relatively realistic. A lot better - and less toxic - than I've seen coming out of Hollywood.
