How we pick the best enemies-to-lovers short dramas
From can't-stand-you to can't-live-without-you — the enemies-to-lovers arc that pays off hardest in vertical format. We rank every enemies-to-lovers title in the DramaDb catalogue by how much people actually watch and save it, then sanity-check the top of the list by hand so a single viral spike can’t crown a drama nobody finishes. The list refreshes as new titles land and the numbers move — last update Nov 4, 2026.
