Suddenly all the romance shows I’ve watched disappeared from my memories…
How about “Marry My Husband”? It’s a K-drama set in the modern world. Rebirth/revenge, fast-paced, with a sweet romance. Though it’s not enemies to lovers. (Actually… I don’t think I know any true enemies to lovers)
A shoujo anime (and manga) called “Lovely Complex” is a modern rom-com featuring a taller girl and a shorter guy. They’re friends but are always bickering and arguing with each other. It’s actually quite hilarious! The romance is also very cute. I can never turn down a couple that actually start dating during a show. Not really enemies, but rivals to lovers?
Another shoujo anime called “Kamisama Kiss” is one of my favorites because I love folklore. It’s still set in the modern world, but it features a lot of yōkai and historical fantasy elements. Still not enemies to lovers, but they start off as a bickering couple who slowly begin to understand each other. Also the art style is really pretty. I’m a simple girl though, so of course I’ll be into a show with a bunch of pretty guys ? there are multiple guys that flirt with the FL, but I definitely don’t think it’s a reverse harem because only the ML gets real romance, and plus they actually date each other.
The 1985 book (also has a TV show!) “If Tomorrow Comes” is a crime drama where the FL becomes a con-artist due to circumstances. The ML and her spend some time initially conning each other, then later work together. That could be enemies to lovers, sort of?
Or~ (shameless self-promo hehe) you can take a look at my story~ although it’s a historical romance, not modern… It's a Gothic soft romance set in a Victorian England-inspired world, my spin on the classic vampire x vampire hunter, immortal x reincarnated human lover trope. It’s kind of enemies to lovers? I mean he nearly kills her in the beginning. ? Warning: it is
very slow-burn. The ML is gradually introduced in between the FL's chaotic hunting life and family life. No grand romantic gestures
yet, but a lot of heart-to-heart conversations. In the beginning you follow the FL's personal life and emotional development more. He’s
just started to court her in the recent chapters. Because the romance is very slow-burn, I can just tell you the chapters that the ML shows up: 3-5, 8, 16-22, 27, 34, 39-42, 51-54 (53 and 54 not uploaded yet). The most romance-heavy chapters are 20, 40-42, and 51-52. The romance will be amped up from here on out.
In the kingdom of Velisandria, where the streets at night are roamed by creatures of bloodlust, Elise Whitefield knows nothing beyond obedience: protect the realm, slay the night, and guard the borders of Duskmoore where the dark forest hungers just beyond. Her heart has been a locked casket...
