Korean (and other) dramas without (with no) love triangles!
Love triangles in Asian dramas are one of my nightmares, hehe. I simply can't understand the struggle. If somebody doesn't love you and you know they most probably won't in the future, just let it go. It's not like there is no one else for you out there. And it is so cliche that I can't understand; there should be a portion of dramas that don't have triangles, but it's strange that's not the case, with all genres!
I detest love triangles, so watching these shows, you can be assured you won't be bothered with that concept even if they have a little of that. And by the way, many of them are among my favorite shows. I will update it.
Well, you can guess many of them don't have the romance tag, but they have at least a very slight romance.

This one may be a little tricky, but the love triangle is not annoying at all since there is an element of surprise. This one is really good.

28. Extracurricular
