There's no need to give up the person you love for the entertainment you love.
Your boyfriend may not realize how entertaining k-dramas can be and assume they are all about romance.

They have no qualms about sacrificing the agent played by Lee Byung Hun. The series was so successful, it led to a feature film, spin off and a sequel.
"Phantom": This police drama, starring So Ji Sub and Daniel Choi, takes place largely in the cyber world. The search for clues in a mysterious death leads to a policeman and his former friend, a hacker, switching identities.
