Office relationships have always fascinated viewers and this is why workplace romance shows have gained popularity over the years. Many well-known shows like The Office (2005), Parks and Recreation (2009), Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013), and more have featured endearing couples who met each other at the workplace. The relatability and plausibility of such relationships tend to appeal to viewers.

However, for most shows, office romance or relationships tend to form only one part of the narrative. So, viewers who are invested in romance may not get to see their favorite couples throughout the episodes. In this case, it is a better option to go for workplace romance shows wherein the developing relationship between the main couple is at the core of the narrative.

While there are plenty of good workplace romance shows to choose from, viewers should keep an eye out for quality titles that combine creative storytelling with swoon-worthy moments.
