Friendship must always come first.

There is a stereotype that K-dramas are only suitable for female audiences, especially those looking for more romantic content. In reality, this is far from the truth. The variety of sub-genres and approaches to characters allows the shows to explore just about any theme or setup the creators want.

The complexity of human relationships isn't always best portrayed in romance. Sometimes real friendships are just as hard to find and just as important to portray. This is especially true for male-female friendships, as there aren't many true-to-life portrayals of them.

Here are 5 K-dramas you will love if you are looking for perfect on-screen romances.

Bloodhounds (2023)

The first lesson this show will teach you is the importance of having a good friend who will have your back even in the worst of situations. The second is to never set foot in the world of private lending unless you are sure you can handle the most violent consequences. This show has zero romance, but a great friendship and a lot of action.

Weak Hero Class 1 (2022)

Unfortunately, bullying is still one of the worst ongoing problems in schools around the world.

Ghost Doctor (2022)
