For many years, one could say for several decades, TV shows have taken precedence as the most-watched and most popular thing. They even surpassed movies. It is no longer a rarity to see movie stars on TV. There are many examples, like Kevin Spacy in House of Cards. Also, the TV series of all genres are being filmed. From serious dramas that have become cult-like The Sopranos, The Wire, Game of Thrones, House of Cards, Mad Men, to relaxing ones like the most popular series of all time The Friends and all the other who took inspiration from The Friends.
When we are tired of everyday obligations, it is unlikely that we will have the concentration or desire to watch dramas, which will further exhaust and tire us. We will rather watch sitcoms or romantic series. Fortunately, there is a great choice in these genres. With the advent of so many streaming services like Netflix, HBO, Amazon Prime, you just need to sit back comfortably and play the show.
We will give you recommendations today, which are the best romantic TV shows to watch.

You may not have expected the first on the list to be a series from South Korea, but it absolutely conquered the whole world. As soon as you read the description of the plot, it will be clear to you why it is so interesting. A wealthy heiress from South Korea, whose hobby is paragliding, was one day caught in a big storm while paragliding. When she wakes up, she realizes that the wind has blown her all the way to North Korea, and we all know how bad relations between the two countries have been for decades. However, she encounters RiJeong-hyeok who rescues her from a tree and decides to hide her, protect her and help her return to South Korea. Since we are talking about romantic TV shows, it is clear to you that their acquaintance will grow into love, despite all the hardships and intolerance between their two countries.
You could say that they are Romeo and Juliet of modern times. Their relationship and falling in love are, of course, not the only plot of this fantastic TV show. In parallel, we follow her brothers ’struggle over control when company and inheritance, as well as the things our main couple in North Korea faces.

This series found its inspiration in the famous column of the prestigious New York Times newspaper. The plot revolves around love stories, full of romance, and the fantastic cast further enhances this already great TV series. Anne Hathaway, Tina Fey, Andy Garcia, Dev Patel are just some of the famous acting names you will see watching this show. The episodes are not related, but each is for itself. If you’ve ever read a column in the New Your Times, you know that Modern Love works by picking one story each week that one of the readers sent. It is always an unusual story full of falling in love, love and often a disappointment. Each of the eight episodes will bring both a smile and tears to your face. Some resent that almost all the characters are white, but we don’t think that will bother you, because you need to separate things like this from racism. After all, they have nothing to do with it. You don’t mind when you watch NBA All-Star where 90 percent of players are black, why would you mind a series where white people play the lead roles?
