Korean:
Hello My Teacher
Delightful Girl Choon Hyang
Japanese:
Nobuta Wo Produce (my fav)
Nodame Cantabile
Proposal Daisakusen
My Boss My Hero
Dragon Zakura (hm.. i don't remember romance)
Romantic Comedies:
Korean
Dal Ja's Spring (my fav)
My Name Is Kim Sam Soon
Super Rookie
Bad Family
Fantasy Couple
Please Come Back Soonae
um.. lol not all of these fit in romantic comedies if any at all
My top Japanese series
Liar Game (game, outwitting people)
Kurosagi (swindling, bit of mystery to it)
Papa to Musume no Nanokakan (freaky friday, but with father and daughter, short and sweet)
Taiyou no Uta (sad romance)
Tiger and Dragon ("gangster" comedy, truly unique)
1 Litre of tears (sad but I love it))
Hotaru no Hikari (office romance, cute)
Haken no Hinkaku (just plain funny)
Anego (office romance, and... Jin <3)
Ikebukuro West Gate Park (weird "gangster" comedy)
Happy! Namida no Sumasshu (specials.. sports comedy)
I don't usually watch Taiwanese series... but I really like "fated to love you", "love queen" and "prince and frog" (but this series dragged a bit too long)
I'm currently watching: Around 40 (J), Change (J), absolute boyfriend/zettai karashi (J) (you might like this one), Last Scandal (K) (reminds me a bit of full house but with an older couple), 3 Dads 1 Mom (K)

I'd say the first three are a must watch since they're not too long, and are definitely what you are looking for, and most likely will not disappoint.
My Name Is Kim Sam Soon [a must watch for ALL kdrama watchers]
Comedy/Romance
Dal Ja's Spring
Comedy/Romance
Soulmates
Comedy/Romance
Golden Bride [this one is 64 episodes though]
Family/Romance
About a girl born in Vietnam who's mother is vietnamese and father is korean looking for her father in Korea after he "abandoned" her and her mother.
And SO MUCH more.
Green Rose [more serious]
Drama/Romance
Business, new identity.
Male lead gets framed, needs new identity, and must prove innocence, with romance as well.
This series' female lead is the lead in My Girl.
Although it's a lot more serious than most dramas, it's worth watching.

You won't regret it, trust me. But, you've got to prepare a box of tissues, because you'll definitely need it.
You should also try Nobuta wo Produce and My Boss, My Hero.
These are all Japanese dramas and the last two are fricken hilarious!!!

CAPITAL SCANDAL - Kang Ji Hwan and Han Ji Min
This drama's plain fantastic, incorporates action, suspense, romance and comedy beautifully. A great blend and ensemble of cast with super good chemistry, and most importantly, good music and good humor! I ASSURE YOU, you will not regret watching this drama...
Other recommended dramas (since you asked for lighthearted ones, I'll skip the melodramas..)
K-dramas
My Name is Kim Sam Soon
Dal Ja Spring (MUST WATCH, love this drama to bits, Chae Rim and Lee Min Ki were <333
Delightful Girl Chun Hyang (if you loved My Girl, this one should not be missed too)
Bad Family - a very lighthearted and meaningful drama..
On Air - this drama's more of a serious drama, about off-set production of dramas, but the dialogues are really very fun and witty.. must watch if you love Korean drama in general.
J-Dramas
Nodame Cantabile - MUST WATCH.. this drama's a CLASSIC.. which involves classic music too XP
T-Dramas
Prince Turn Into a Frog - must watch! It's the only Taiwan drama Rom Com besides Meteor Garden which I acknowledge.. the others are just crap for me..
