The "Meet Cute" in Rom Coms
Rom coms center on humor and finding love in the face of obstacles, especially the uncertainty of whether girls will ever have their own "meet cute." These rom coms include a girl receiving love letters from the future, two K-pop stars dealing with scandal, fake dating, and bad boys with good hearts.
