Am re-watching romantic comedy "Marriage, not dating" which fits this opposite attracts trope. Check it out, get funny after the first episode.

I watched it a long ago when it first came out. Thank you!

It's a typical artsy french movie. Weird as in the lead characters are kind of psychopaths. 😆

And the last scene of the movie is extremely creepy. On second thoughts, I feel this was a bad suggestion. You know what, forget I even mentioned it.

But if you're interested, here's a review that says everything I feel about this movie.

Interesting! Thank you! I will watch it when I get out of this opposites attract trope I’m currently obsessed with. 🤪

Mix of Romantic Comedy and angst. Great great romance with a definite happy ending.

• Jane Eyre (2011) is so romantic *sigh*

Agreed on Hometown Cha Cha! It's the next Korean show after CLOY that I can watch over and over again.

There's also the movie Emma with Anya-Taylor Joy....it's a good quick watch

Thanks for the recommendations but I’m in instant gratification mode and these are all shows. Bookmarked for future reference! 🧚🏻‍♀️

The Korean shows are mainly 16 episodes so though it’s not instant gratification but it’s constant and ongoing gratification. 😆

Hey Cham, that’s my guilty pleasure so I’ve got loads. Could you be more specific please: format, country/era you prefer, modern vs historical vs fantasy, do you need a happy ending, do you care if leads are ugly vs super attractive, etc. What are your favourites?

Y’all please drop a list of “opposites attract” themed rom coms before I fry my brain watching the Hating Game for then fifth time in 3 days.

Love has no language. So anything with English subtitles is fair game! Thank you!

Damn Fetish, we’ve got really similar tastes!! I love my asian dramas but nothing can beat a good old BBC period drama on a rainy day. North & South and Jayne Eyre are hauntingly beautiful and stayed with me for days. I wish they’d create a remake each year.

Happy endings with attractive leads, please. Any era or format work for me! Thank you!

Pride and Prejudice, the BBC version

North and South

Bridget Jones Diary, all three movies but the first one is a forever favorite

Overboard, the original version.

OK so my recommendations are

A Werewolf boy - korean movie. A naive Werewolf for a ML and a young sickly FL

Todome no Kiss - Japanese 10 episode drama drama. Sly and cunning gold digger ML and a shy and socially awkward poor FL

Tune in for love - Korean movie. The main couple are different but that's not really the main plot line. They are more star crossed?

The handmaiden - Korean movie that's wlw so... But they are opposites.

On your wedding day - Korean movie. Silly ML who eventually matures and mature FL

Our Times - Taiwanese movie. Cute high-school story.

A moment to remember- Korean movie. Classic romance about 2 opposites. But a tearjerker.

Exit 2019 - korean movie. Hilarious disaster movie. Unemployed loser ML and smart FL

Us and Them - Chinese movie. I think this one is on Netflix.

Leap year 2010 - American movie

Something new 2006 - American movie

No reservations 2007 ' American movie

Life as we know it - 2010 American movie

About time - British movie

Love, Rosie - British movie

Speed 1994 - Now I know this isn't a romance movie but Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves had some mad chemistry so I'm leaving this here anyway.

Also I hope you have already seen the GOAT rom com 10 things I hate about you 💕
