One of the most beloved themes in K-dramas is the classic trope of enemies turned lovers. There's something irresistible about watching two characters who initially can't stand each other eventually falling in love. If you're a fan of this theme, you're in luck! Plenty of K-dramas explore this type of relationship, and we've rounded up some of the best ones for you to binge-watch.

1. "Hometown Cha Cha Cha": Starting on the wrong foot, a city girl and a country boy find their lives entwined in the most unfortunate of circumstances, only to find themselves slowly falling in love with each other!

2. "Boys Over Flowers": You can't get more original than "Boys Over Flowers," wherein a poor girl finds herself attending the most elite school in the country only to become the primary target for Goo Joon Pyo, the son of the wealthiest family in the country.

3. "Touch Your Heart": Caught in a scandal which causes her career to go downhill, Oh Jin Shim finds herself searching for a way to get her career back on track. Her solution? To land the role of a secretary, but herself in the shoes of an actual secretary! But not used to the routine or working outside of the entertainment world, she finds herself butting heads with Kwon Jung Rok, a cold-hearted lawyer.

4. "Suspicious Partner": Falsely accused of being a pedophile, Noh Ji Wook finds himself at odds with Eun Bong Hee, but fate has a different plan for them as they're forced to work together.

5. "Secret Garden": A stunt woman and a shopping mall CEO find themselves bickering back and forth, and it only escalates as they find themselves having swapped bodies!

6. "Full House": After finding out that her friends sold off the home built by her father to a mega superstar, Han Ji Eun does whatever she can to earn the house back, only to find herself unwillingly engaged to superstar Lee Yeong Jae.

7. "Angel's Last Mission: Love": To make his way to heaven, troublemaker angel Dan is given the mission to find love for Yeonseo, a ballerina. But as he begins carrying out the mission, it's no piece of cake, for Yeonso is notorious for her ill attitude, cold heart, and sharp words.

If you look in the eyes of the other students, the Boys Over Flowers' F4 are a bunch of bullies.
