Family Style Dramas
Family dramas are usually a little bit comedy, a little bit melodrama, and a little bit romance. One of the things about family dramas I like most is that the "side" stories/romances often get just as much screen time as the "main" romance storyline. Also, family dramas are often 45 episodes or more..

1. O Que Está Acontecendo com a Minha Família?
Korean Drama - 2014, 53 episodes
One of my favorite Family dramas. The cast is amazing. As a bonus, the Always adorable Nam Ji Hyun plays a country girl, who has come to find the son of the main family, played by Park Hyung Shik, because he once promised to marry her... a love triangle soon forms with the third being played by Seo Kang Joon.

8. Minha Filha, Seo Young
Korean Drama - 2012, 50 episodes
This is a melodrama, that is a bit old, but has one of my absolutely favorite side romance stories. When two of the main characters are fraternal twins played by Lee Bo Young and Park Hae-Jin, don't you have to give it a try?
