戏剧 (xi4ju4).
So, how can we say "dramatic comedy"?
A "dramatic comedy" is a movie like "French Kiss" , "Something About Marry", "50 First Dates", or "The Heartbreak Kid". Dramatic comedies mix humor with elements of love/romance, but there not exactly romance/love stories.
Also, as a bonus, if you could include the names of other genres as well, such as "action", "sci-fi",etc, that would be great too. I'm beginning to think that Chinese people categorize genres differently than Americans do.
