So with the news of Arthdal Chronicles getting a second season I was suddenly reminded of how I shipped Saya and Tanya and how that flopped (so far? probably lol let's be real), and I want to watch something where a ship from two people on opposite sides of a conflict actually happens. Any country, drama or movie. It doesn't have to be fantasy either, it could be sci-fi, historical, war, an ex-con (excuse me while i crush on siwol in beautiful love wonderful life), vigilante and the person chasing them, lawyer vs prosecutor, rival companies, etc. like shoot if they're on opposite sports teams I'm in.
But, like, I really like when people start on opposite sides, come to respect each other, then fall for each other, and my ships NEVER happen?? I don't necessarily mean Romeo and Juliet because there was never any conflict between the two, I'm thinking more couples like Bellarke (The 100), Zutara (atla), Saya/Tanya, Rhysand/Feyre (ACOMAF kinda applies), Legend by Marie Lu, Reylo but less toxic lol. They don't necessarily have to be on opposite sides of a conflict, they could be working together but have conflicting opinions like Bellarke. I really like the dynamic in the med-school flashbacks of Seo Woo Jin and Cha Eun Jae in Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim 2 where they were always competing against each other but were there for each other when they needed it.
If any of y'all know of any good couples like this, please let me know!
