Alright, hear me out—I know we all say we love love. But in real life? That’s a whole different story. Real love can be messy, complicated, and way too much to handle sometimes. But when two perfect people, with the kind of chemistry that makes you sit up, light up the screen? Now that is something I can 100% be there for!
If you’ve just watched all 10 episodes of Nobody Wants This on Netflix, then you totally get it. The show blew up last month, and it’s easy to see why. The love story, the banter, the heart-melting moments… let’s just say people can’t stop talking about the show for good reason.
In case you’ve been living under a rock (or just missed the hype), Nobody Wants This is about Joanne, a no-nonsense, agnostic sex podcaster (played by the always hilarious Kristen Bell), and Noah, a newly single rabbi (yes, THE Adam Brody), who find themselves in an unexpected romance. Their love story has everything—laughs, tears, and all the awkward family meddling that we secretly love watching from a safe distance.
But I’m not here to gush about Nobody Wants This—you’ve already done that, right? You’re here because now that you’ve finished the season, you’re wondering what to watch next. Well, SENS covered everything for you. Here are six romantic shows to keep your heart fluttering while you’re waiting for “Nobody Wants This” Season 2.
What If/The F Word
Ever wonder if every relationship in your life is leading you to “the one”? Go watch What If—also known as The F Word in some countries—is hands down one of the cutest romantic comedies you’ll ever watch! The film stars Daniel Radcliffe as Wallace, a guy who’s had his heart broken one too many times. After dropping out of medical school and being stuck in a boring job, Wallace is over love and is just trying to focus on friendships. That is until he meets Chantry, played by Zoe Kazan, who seems like the one. But there’s one tiny problem… she already has a boyfriend!
The true brilliance of What If lies in its sharp humor and the undeniable chemistry between Wallace and Chantry. The movie explores that ever-so-complicated question: What if your best friend is actually the love of your life? It’s a story full of “will-they-won’t-they” moments, hilarious misunderstandings, and the awkward tension that comes when two people clearly belong together but have to figure it out on their own. Without giving too much away, if you watch it, you’ll find yourself falling in love with the characters, and honestly, with love itself.
One Day
One Day might not give you the perfect happy ending like Nobody Wants This did in season 1, but it’s guaranteed to take you on an emotional rollercoaster. This story follows Emma (played by Ambika Mod) and Dexter (played by Leo Woodall), who share an unforgettable night after their graduation. You’d think that would be the start of something beautiful, right? But life has other plans. Over the next 20 years, we watch them drift in and out of each other’s lives, making you wonder how much time and fate can really change things.
The chemistry between Emma and Dexter will have you hooked from the start. Their connection feels so real, and you’ll find yourself rooting for them as they go through life’s ups and downs.
But, be warned: this isn’t the kind of story where everything fits together perfectly. The ending will completely crush you. Just when you think things are going in the right direction, reality strikes hard. You won’t regret the voyage, though, because One Day delivers all the feels, leaving you thinking about love, timing, and life long after the credits spin.
Crazy Rich Asians
Another must-watch romantic comedy that’s full of charm and a bit of drama is Crazy Rich Asians. The story follows Rachel Chu (played by Constance Wu), a smart and down-to-earth woman from a working-class family in America. She’s head over heels in love with her boyfriend, Nick Young (Henry Golding), and decides to join him on a trip to Singapore for a family wedding.
Except Rachel has no clue that Nick is crazy rich—like, the heir to one of Singapore’s most powerful and wealthy families kind of rich! Suddenly, Rachel is thrust into a world of luxury, gossip, and over-the-top wealth. But it’s not just about fancy cars and designer dresses; she has to deal with jealous socialites, Nick’s quirky relatives, and the worst of all—his super disapproving mother.
The story is fun, the characters are lovable, and the visuals of Singapore are stunning! So if you’re looking for a rom-com with a sprinkle of drama and a splash of glamour, this is your movie.
Anyone But You
In Anyone But You, Sydney Sweeney (playing Bea) and Glen Powell (playing Ben) are stuck in a situation where neither of them wants a relationship—but it seems like the entire world is pushing them together. After an awkward first date, they bump into each other again at a wedding in Australia and, of course, they end up pretending to be a couple. The plot is filled with classic rom-com vibes, and while some might be distracted by the characters’ quirks, it’s definitely worth watching. Their chemistry grows in the most unexpected ways, and you’ll find yourself rooting for them even if they’re fighting it themselves. It’s funny, lighthearted, and full of moments that will keep you smiling throughout.
Crash Landing on You
This Korean drama takes romance to a whole new level! It is about a South Korean heiress with a successful fashion firm, who is living her best life—until a freak paragliding accident blows her right into North Korea. Talk about bad luck! But things take a surprising turn when she meets the dashing and honorable military captain, Ri Jeong-hook. He’s everything you’d expect—serious, and disciplined, but with a heart of gold.
As Se-ri learns about life in North Korea, she begins to understand the suffering of the people. Despite the danger, she gradually develops feelings for Captain Ri. Their love blossoms in secret, with plenty of swoon-worthy moments along the way, but it isn’t all romance. They have to find out how to bring her back to the South without getting caught—which is not easy at all!
This show is the kind that makes you think, “We need a book for this love story!” and it’ll definitely you to give Korean cinema a chance.
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
