Best Fantasy Romance Manhwa
Manga
My absolute favorite fantasy romance manhwa so far. Most of these stories feature strong female leads.
A lot of these I have also read the novels for either to completion or near completion and I loved them as novels as well as manhwa. Usually novels give more details and personal storylines (since they're usually told from first person perspective). The novel romance scenes are usually more involved than their manhwa adaptations. So if you love any of these that started out as a novel, do check out the novel! Because you'll probably love it just as much if not more for the extra detail.
Two manhwa that MAL doesn't have listings for yet that I will add later:
1. Under the Oak Tree - The ultimate trash soap opera fantasy romance. Grab a bag of popcorn for this hot mess. It will not disappoint.
2. I Raised A Black Dragon - Super cute couple, fun fantasy / mystery story. Artwork is also cute.
Additional Notes: I personally adored the novel for "Return of the Female Knight" (aka "Return of Elena the Knight" manhwa). I've read the novel 5 times already. Maybe I'm too biased from reading the novel but I couldn't enjoy the manhwa. It is similar in tone to "From A Knight to a Lady". Personally, I like the themes in "Return of the Female Knight" (novel) better. So do check it out if you enjoyed "From A Knight to a Lady". It feels wrong of me not to include ROTFK on here but I just can't put it in a list titled "Best Manhwa".

Tia FTW! Please also read the novel - it's excellent! More than a romance. Lots of family themes and a strong, intellectual female lead.

Navier is a gem in a sea of trash people. The novel is also great if you can't stand waiting for the webtoon updates.

Medea... is genuinely the most chilling female lead. Moreso than a lot of villainess stories.

Novel for this is great. Manhwa is good so far. About a villain family. The novel source makes this the darkest story overall on this list. I don't know how far the manhwa will take it, but I'm looking forward to it.

The novel is super fun! A pretty good representation in the manhwa. A lot of comedy, but the story's plot does take itself seriously. I really adore this ridiculous couple.
