Other Dramas With Cute Couples
In romance dramas, some couples are good-looking while others are simply cute and sweet like Nuan Nuan and Han Che in My Love, Enlighten Me. If you are into the latter category, there are a few dramas that I can think of which you might also enjoy. The first one would be The Romance Of Tiger And Rose which is a funny rom-com starring Ryan Ding and Zhao Lu Si. Apart from the cute couple, the plot for this drama is also unique which is a departure from the usual princess story.
The second rom-com you could check out on would be Put Your Head On My Shoulder. Although this isn’t really my cup of tea, there are plenty of fans for this drama because of the cuteness of the main couple. This belongs to the college romance genre which means it would resonate best with the younger viewers. The third and last one that I should highlight here would be Go Go Squid! since this is another hugely popular production. The couple here is cute because of the vast personality and age differences between the main characters. Besides the romance, there is also a friendship sub-plot to give the drama more depth. So, do check it out if you haven’t done so!
