Any drama where ML and FL are NOT a couple?

Jun 23, 2023 10:50 am

Hi there, i am looking for dramas where the Main ML and FL are not in a relationship or are Romanticized. they could be enemies in a revenge story, or co workers in a sitcom or partners in crime in an action series, competing for the same position as opponents, or childhood friends who took a trip with friends from a long tiring life. Anything but love couple.

and they do have romantic partners, maybe the SFL and SML are their romantic partners. but the main characters are not in love with each other.

also I really want the FL and ML to be the important main characters. there are a lot of dramas with Two important MLs with a side FL who has a separate romantic interest other than the two MLs. i don't want like that. i want a drama where a woman and man, with the most screen time bond with each other without romance

basically : drama with two main leads 1. FL and 1. ML (other main leads could be there idc) and they have separate romantic partners.

i have literally never seen any drama with this setting.

Definitely hard to get those dramas. Only knows of non romance dramas. So MC are either platonic, antagonistic, friends, comrades... but other partners are now showcased. So mainly no romance dramas.

All of them have male and female partners working on solving a crime together; they're friends but they're never romantically involved.

My Mister is in the ballpark. Some viewers interpret the leads' relationship as romantic, but most (myself included) do not. The ML is married. The SML both loves and hates the FL. She doesn't reciprocate his romantic feelings.

The only title I can think of is Sell Your Haunted House. FL and ML work together to exorcise ghosts.

I couldn't find any that both leads have a romantic partner (that I have watched). What I could find were ones where one of them has a partner or had a partner but the leads are not romantically involved:

Juvenile Justice (the FL is divorced)
My Name (the FL has a boyfriend at one point in the show)
The Guardians (the FL hates the ML, also she's a mom)
The Silent Sea (the ML has a daughter so I assume he had a partner at some point)
The Victims' Game (the ML had a wife but she died, I don't remember if they had gotten divorced)
Tomorrow (the FL was married before she died)
