Dramas With Little Or No Romance
sometimes we just wanna watch something that's not so romance focused, each drama in the list has a comment explaining why i put the drama in this list
INCLUDES:
- dramas i think personally have no romance
- dramas that only have romantic subtext but no obvious canon romantic main couple
- dramas that have no main couple but might have romantic side couples
obviously this only includes dramas i've seen so it'll continue to be updated the more i watch
note: there may be an imbalance of what country the drama is from as a lot of the korean, thai, taiwanese, & chinese dramas i've watched have a romantic plot with heavy focus within them, so that's why there's a lot of jdramas above anything else

201. Espada Snow Stride
Chinese Drama - 2021, 38 episodes
- definitely romantic subtext & minor romantic subplot but to me it comes off as a sibling bond more than anything romantic
-
202. Alegria da Vida
Chinese Drama - 2019, 46 episodes
- romantic sideplot but so much happens in this drama it's kinda on the back burner for a lot of it, i do adore the main couple though don't get me wrong but the romance is definitely not the main focus of this drama it's more about political intrigue, family dynamics, and palace politics

203. Alegria da Vida 2
Chinese Drama - 2024, 36 episodes
- the same really as season 1, i feel like they spend more time apart in this season compared to the first one too
-
204. Acma:Game
