Looking for strong emotions and unparalleled chemistry? These K-dramas could be your answer.

Let's face it, the enemies-to-lovers trope is great. Unlike cheesy romantic stories where the characters are all over each other from the beginning for no reason, enemies-to-lovers give us strong feelings of two people in conflict and even stronger sexual tension coming out of that feud. Stories like this just have a primal appeal.

So let's see what K-drama fans on Reddit recommend when it comes to enemies-to-lovers.

Probably the best example of the enemies-to-lovers trope, fans say, is the story of a modern-day chef who time-travels into the body of the Joseon-era Queen. In the past, the protagonist cooks, tries to get back to the present, and discovers court secrets. While the show is primarily about politics and palace life, the romantic arc is great and electric.
