#cause it had genuine action and stakes in some parts even tho the fluff was more important

The venn diagram of fluff romance and action romance do intersect but not all the time.

Examples where they intersect (somewhat): Till Death Tear Us Apart, History 3 Trapped, Advance Bravely. Though u would still say depending on one's tastes they aren't fluffy enough for the fluff romance watchers, have too much violence for that genre (since theyre all about as action and scary as The Mummy at times), and for a serious action romance watcher they may be too fluffy/comedic too often for their tastes (not as serious in tone as Not Me or The Untamed or Word of Honor with lives on the line and seriously terrifying moments - that said i suppose some of The Untamed is almost fluff romance in the first eps until tragedy strikes and it gets way too heavy to stay in the fluff category).

The Kings Affection was aiming for an intersection (but to me did not feel high stakes enough in tone despite ppls lives on the line), Tomorrow hits the intersection generally for comedy/action but not for romance (there's a good balance of comedy to serious action but the romance does skew serious). Crash Landing On You relies on some fluff tropes but its heavily weighed toward serious action romance rather than fluffy (people die so its not in the fluff genre ToT). Guardian has a LOT of fluff tropes (since rhe romance is basically two adults dating and courting the usual flirty way) but it's also amidst murder suspects and danger and intense action and lives are on the line so it may not appeal to the average fluff romance watcher as its general vibe includes a lot of action and serious heavy moments. Cdramas and taiwan dramas, from what I can tell, tend to hit this middle ground of includes fluff and intense serious stakes (ideally with fun action) - daomubiji plays here (very The Mummy vibes), Word of Honor, Guardian, Bromance (with baron chen), History 3 Trapped, etc. If you're looking for stuff inside that venn diagram cross section.

There's more action romance stuff coming out of thai dramas, so that's worth looking into too. And usually with some good comedy/fluff in pieces if not always overall (Not Me had some light-hearted comedy moments, Kinnporsche does, Three Will Be Free even did once in a while).
