Great picks here!! hyena definitely was a great enemies to lovers plot.

I drew a blank and had to think a bit. I think I will go with an oldie Goong, Princess hours .
There was something about this drama that pulled me in, not to mention it was my gateway to JJH! I loved their chemistry, be is fighting petty teenagers or a bunch of lonely kids in a palace. Their little progress from enemies to hesitant friends to lovers was really done well.
Not sure how well this show has aged. I am just picking this from my memory.

I love the enemies to more trope! I watched 4 of the dramas listed above (I've only seen clips of semantic error).

And funny enough I was just thinking about one of the things I like most is when the character falls despite themselves. Like in The King 2 Hearts, Jae Ha took an interest in Hang Ah damn near from the moment she laid him out and there's all these moments of him watching her but of course he was in such denial over it, it doesn't even register to him. Even when he was mean to her and said she wasn't a woman, he was so thrown by her reaction and tried his damnedest to get her attention, even getting annoyed that he was getting the silent treatment in return. There really are so many times when he's just watching her or he's thinking about her and I enjoyed seeing those moments. On her end, I loved how she went from "of all the men in world, he's who you choose?! Bring me Brad Pitt or Obama" haha. Them still saying as long as they don't marry each other as they share their first kiss is priceless. I'm so glad this was apart of someone's list.

I watched Hyena but I don't remember everything about it; I particularly remember the end and I really liked their bickering chemistry. I think they were trying to promote their business but they were using rival streamers and one crashed the other's live stream. That's their dynamic in a nutshell: they have the same goal but the approach is different until they crash into each other and leave everyone thinking what just happened?! Haha

Another Seung Gi project: Shining Legacy (Brilliant Inheritence). His character and the lead instantly clash (because of his actions) and yet he's still the first to fall but he keeps denying it to himself and others even though everyone can see it. The things I like most is when he smiles little smiles when her back is turned or he's caught staring by other. And then there's the moments of jealousy when he begrudgingly shows interest in her dating life but again refuses to believe it's because he's actually interested but rather another reason not to like or trust her. The female lead summed up their dynamic as they both were either mad or guilty toward the other at any given time and yet, she still ends up falling for him because of the changes and growth he goes through.

I want to pick “Princess Man” but it was more like, lovers - to - enemies - to - lovers.
While on the Moonie train, I might as well go with “Nice Guy.”

I'm going with Lee Dong-shik (Shin Ha-kyun) and Han Joo-won (Yeo Jin-goo) in Beyond Evil.

What? You can't tell me nothing happened between those guys after the credits rolled. We just didn't stick around long enough to see it.

Hyena is the one that comes to mind without thinking.

Love to Hate You is the latest on this end though.

Clean With Passion For Now.
1% of Something.
Her Private Life.
Full House.
Will You Have Dinner With Me?

Mr. Queen rocked this trope well.

I didn't watch this one but judging from the recaps alone which I enjoyed by the way, Mad For Each Other is another good one.

Completely agree with the Hyena and My Love from the Star picks.

Kim Hye-soo was great in Hyena and Jun Ji-hyun rocked that role so hard, she deserved every single award she won for it.

Mr Queen is a great pick too, our "no touch" couple is iconic

Someone is going to mention Secret again soon! 😁

I seem to love this trope because a lot of my favorite shows have been named already.

I will choose WILD ROMANCE. Going from a top-star baseball player and a die-hard fan of his rival team, to lovers, sure is the height of enemies-to-lovers.

I like Hwayugi (A Korean Odesessy) too but more than their enemies to lovers dynamic, I find his reaction to it funny. The scenes when he's so annoyed and frustrated by the constant disregard from her or the mockery from Ma Wang amuse me haha

The scene when he cries over his sauces while Ma Wang is trying to follow his mood swings is chuckleworthy.

Do Ma Wang & Son O Gong also count though they are kinda frienemies?
There could be a level of platonic love haha

Coffee Prince. From those electric clashes to electric love scenes, for me it's Han-gyul and Eun-chan forever.

Oh! The second couple in Strongest Delieveryman!
Do they count?

They certainly started off as enemies haha
I think she ran over his car and then the people chasing her also ran over his car haha
Just thinking about them makes me laugh haha

I liked them so much more than the leads. I don't know if I've ever felt that way before or since.

"King2Hearts" is absolutely my favorite. I still think about that sequence where LSG's character goes to N. Korea to bring back the FL but she ends up first rebuffing, then saving him from enemies who attack at a carousel. His look of utter disbelief at her coolness and total adoration when he fully realizes for the first time that *he's* the lucky one is so satisfying to watch.

I'd also vote for "Kiss Sixth Sense" (the first 10 episodes--don't bother with the last two). I agree with alathe that "Hwagi's" set-up on this front was perfect, but I wish I could go back in time and encourage the casting director to pick someone else to play the FL. She had zero chemistry with LSG and was low energy overall which really tanked the love story for me.

Tops to me is 1% OF SOMETHING (and of course its original 1% OF ANYTHING). I love the 'enemies to lovers' trope every bit as much as the 'friends to lovers' one- even though the later makes for more sense in reality.

I’m with @alathe, and the more wallowing the better!
One of my favorites is Greatest Love.

Oh, my goodness I love this trope! Great choices here, Beanie Staff, and it was fun to remember these goodies.

I squeed out loud when King 2 Hearts was chosen, but my ultimate favorite drama with this trope is Our Beloved Summer. Agreed @dramaddictally. And when I can't enough I go back to the Webtoon, which is excellent if anyone is wondering (same creator as Spirit Fingers, which is the best webtoon/coming-of-age story there is).

I just wanted to add that although I thought "Hyena" was a great drama and both actors were amazing in it, I don't consider it a enemies-to-lovers story because the leads never really become lovers again after they've been enemies. The only time they're lovers is when the FL is deceiving the ML at the very beginning, and even though at the end she begrudgingly admits that she had genuine feelings for him then, they don't reunite. I think it's debatable whether or not the writers *should* have made this more explicit of a love story, but I think it's pretty clear that they're not lovers by the end. So to me this is more of a legal drama with some sexual tension thrown in here and there and not a true enemies-to-lovers tale.

Sticking to the lighter ones, I might have picked Fantasy Couple a year ago, but now it would be Gaus Electronics. As I recall, another one that had amusing pretending-to-still-be-enemies moments was Smile, You.

Semantic Error, YES. @solstices you described the show perfectly! Jaeyoung was soooo petty and annoying, and Sangwoo was soooo grumpy.

1% of Something for the straights. (HMs: Her Private Life, MLFtS, and Mad For Each Other)
Semantic Error for the gays.

Hehe.. found a loophole of sorts, in my mind at least. ;)

(please don't make me choose... thanks in advance...)

Mr Queen came THIS close to being the golden standard of the trope, but then its ending ruined everything. Actually I'm not the biggest fan of this trope in kdramas because I feel like most of them focus too much on bickering while forgetting about organic progression of OTP's feelings. Like you're watching the couple fighting for the 100500th time and can't help but think "Are you two SURE you like each other?" - that's what happens to me WAY too often, sadly. So nope, I can't name anything right now. Maybe I should just ditch k-part and go with LBFAD... They truly nailed it.

The first thing I thought of when I saw the prompt was King 2 Hearts and yeah, I’m sticking with that. Even if the villain was hilariously cartoonish (my sister and I spent half the time calling him the Evil Australian only to discover the actor was in fact from NZ and we had failed to recognise our own accent), the drama is still really good. The chemistry of the main couple is 🔥 and the transition from actual enemies (Lee Seung Gi’s character is SO MEAN to her at the start) to grudging respect to love is really well done.

I totally agree with My Love From the Star and King 2 Hearts being classic examples of enemies to lovers dramas.
A more recent drama that fits the bill, is Sh**ting Stars. I watched it recently and it is adorable how ML is constantly teasing/tormenting FL just to get her attention. He doesn't even realize he's desperate for her attention because he likes her.

If I only can pick one, I choose Live Up to your name (Deserving of the name). But I don't know if it really counts because the only one who "hated" (or at least she couldn't stand) the other one was the FL. It was an interesting progress with lots of ups and downs, because there were moments when it was him who didn't want to be with her...

Honorable mentions: Secret Garden, Flower boy next Door, Hometown Cha, The Happy Loner, Hwayugi...

I realize that I have not watched many enemies-to-lovers dramas. And the ones I have watched are more like "from antipathy to love" than actual hate.

Greatest Love hands down! It started so petty and was truly satisfying.

I though that enemies to lovers would be more represented in my dramalist, but it only score 19%. The good thing about my file, in addition to having superfluous numbers to jolt around, is that I can cite an unmentioned title: Another miss Oh.
They do not start on good term, but when they kiss they ignite the film.

My Love from Another Star...hands down!

To @dramadictally YES YES YES, just that. Three times watched, and this show still gets me emotionally over-involved every time. 'My Beloved Summer' will keep me warm for years to come.

Our Beloved Summer is my number 1 choice for this trope!

First thing that came to my mind is Another Miss Oh. Also, Suspicious Partner. I can’t remember much but I think these are enemies to lovers dramas.

Hometown Cha Cha Cha is another one I'd add.

Shining Inheritance, every single time.

Another vote for Hwayugi which I enjoyed so much. Also, there is more than one enemies-to-lovers if you take a broad definition of lovers.

Ma-wang and Son Oh-Gong have got an enemies to friends progression.
P.K. and Jade Dragon in Alice's body go through the same journey.
Even in their own way, Asanyeo and P.K. also experience a form of understanding and somehow attachment and a friends-to-enemies-to-somehow-friendly twist.
Ma-wang and his son also have a nice progression from cold towards each other to warm and sharing, even though it's a subtle one.

P.K. stole my heart in more than one way for his undying and loyal affection for a lot of characters... less his fashion sense, but there you go, one can't have it all.

Soompi channeling Dramabeans. 😆

Most of their titles were also listed here, but I would never have thought of Touch Your Heart as enemies-to-lovers; it's more like mutually-baffled-unwilling-partners-to-lovers.

Marriage Not Dating. Excellent enemies to lovers romantic comedy.

It’s not my favorite but didn’t think I saw anyone mention it. Risky Romance!

After seeing the results on IG (God bless who did the pie chart) i saw Goong and spent way past my bedtime watching clips on YT. With age n wisdom (lol) i could spot the problems a mile away but heck i still loved Chae Kyung and Lee Shin to bits.

Our Beloved Summer
