2. Master’s Sun: ghosts, romance and a touch of comedy

If you’re looking for a combination of supernatural romance with a touch of comedy, Master’s Sun It is the perfect choice. This series follows the life of Tae Gong-shil (Gong Hyojin), a woman who gains the ability to see ghosts after an accident. His life is constantly disturbed by wandering spirits until he meets Joo Joong-won (So Jisub), a cold and distant CEO whose simple touch makes the ghosts that haunt Gong-shil disappear.

The balance between creepy and comical is what makes Master’s Sun such a lovely drama.

This K-Drama makes ghosts and love coexist in a unique way, perfect for those looking for something less dark but equally addictive.

3. My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho: mythical romance with a touch of humor

For those who prefer a lighter, but still supernatural romance, My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho offers a story as fun as it is charming. In this drama, young aspiring actor Cha Dae-woong (Lee Seunggi) accidentally releases a gumiho, a nine-tailed fox spirit, who has been trapped for centuries in a painting. Mi-ho (Shin Mina), the gumiho, dreams of becoming human, but not before embarking on a comical and touching romance with Dae-woong.

Throughout the series, the relationship between Dae-woong and Mi-ho evolves between hilarious and emotional moments. Fantasy elements, like Mi-ho’s supernatural powers, add a unique layer to their love story, while the difficulties they face as an unconventional couple keep viewers intrigued. My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho is a perfect mix of fantasy, romance and humor that will leave you with a smile in every episode.
