Kiss Sixth Sense was the perfect fantasy romance Kdrama that gave us major butterflies while also giving us a mystery to watch. As it teased us with a will-they wont-they situation constantly and then delivered on the promise with a punch, we were glued to the screen watching Ye-sool and Min-hu come to terms with their relationship and their powers. Destiny had a plan for them in the end!
So, like us, if you can’t get enough of the fantasy romance Kdramas, then check out these titles to keep you excited and engrossed:
5 Fantasy Romance Kdramas
My Love From the Star (2013)
If an alien looked anything like Kim Soo-hyun’s Do Min-joon, a lot of people will have very different views about them!
The 2013 fantasy romance Kdrama has it all – two very competent protagonists, a swoon-worthy romance and some great character growth to boot. Add to that some impeccable fashion sense and you have a Korean drama worth the watch.
The story follows Do Min-joon, an outer space being who has been stranded on Earth for 4 centuries. Old and cynical, his entire perspective about life on earth changes when he finally meets Chun Song-yi, a stuck-up A-list actress, who thaws his cold heart and makes life better.

Now wandering the Earth without much hope, he uses his abilities to help people around him and searching for the Goblin Bride – the person who can take out the sword in his heart and set his soul free.

Doom At Your Service (2021)
Last but definitely not least we have fan-favourite fantasy romance Kdrama Doom At Your Service that brings so much salt and sweet to the plate that you’ll be left reeling after the show is over!
Dong-gyung is rather unlucky and just got diagnosed with a brain tumour. With only hundred days to live, she frustratingly calls out for the destruction of the world. What she could never have predicted was that destruction himself would show up in front of her, asking her to end everything and everyone in existence. What follows are a couple of realisations, a doomed (I had to) loved story and a heartwarming finale.
Episodes: 16
Starring: Seo In-guk, Park Bo-young, Lee Soo-hyuk, Shin Do-hyun.
