5 K-Dramas With Bromance To Live For
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.

This show has zero romance, but a great friendship and a lot of action.
