The currently-running Saiunkoku Monogatari has a lot of romance, with good comic relief bits throughout. At base it's a serious historical drama, but what makes it compelling is the way it weaves the drama, comedy, and romance together, along with some excellent characterizations.
NHK ni Youkoso might be seen as a romantic comedy; some episodes have side-splitting moments. What makes this show special, again, is that it's really a psychological study of some young people with big, though not-unfamiliar, problems. My top show in 2006.
