I'm not really a fan of romance dramas but i don't mind watching them as long as they're not the main plot. I like dramas with little less romance or non-romance dramas but with a really good chemistry between the characters. Love sto ries are okay but i prefer platonic kind or something mature but not explicit. More like connection but less skinship. Can you recommend me some? cdrama kdrama or jdorama. i dont mind. Thank you.

The King's Avatar - This is a friendship/(e)sports drama. There's no romance.

Six Flying Dragons - You have this On Hold, but I recommend this drama very highly. Both of the main characters are male. There is a bit of romance, but the politics is the real focus of the show. And after a while the romance turns more into a partnership.

Faith - Though the romance definitely has a major focus (there's a lot of politics too), I'm adding this because I feel like the romance fits the description "connection but less skinship." I don't actually remember it that well, but I remember thinking that the main couple sometimes felt more like companions than lovers.

Bad Guys - I don't think there's any romance. Most of the main characters are all male. It's a crime show.

Boku no Ita Jikan - This is definitely a romance, but it's definitely not a fluffy rom com type. It's about dealing with an incurable disease. 1 Litre no Namida has a similar subject matter and I believe it has less romance. I haven't watched it, but it's supposed to be really good.

My Mister - I haven't completed this show yet. I'm actually not sure whether the relationship between the leads will end up romantic or not, but it's certainly a mature story (in terms of theme, not explicit content). So far it's really good!

My Country - I don't remember the romance. I think there is one, but it's more focused on the bromance and politics.

Nobuta wo Produce - This is a show about friendship. 

14-sai No Haha - There's kinda a romance, but it's really about teen pregnancy.

Arthdal Chronicles - So far (still waiting for season 2), there are hints of romance, but it's really a politically focused show.

White Christmas - I don't remember this having any romance. It's a phycological thriller.

IRIS - There's definitely a romance (and there might seem like a lot in the first couple episodes), but the majority of the show is an action/espionage story. The male and female leads are actually separated though most of it.

Vagabond - I'm not sure if there's romance, if there is, there's not much. It's also an action/espionage show.

Man to Man - This has more romance than IRIS or Vagabond, especially in the second half, but it also is very focused on the action/espionage plot.

Reply 1988 - This does have quite a bit of romance, but I would really say it's more a show about family and friendship.

Lawless Lawyer - There's definitely a romance, but it's a legal/crime drama. I don't remember too much focus on the romance.

You're All Surrounded - Another crime drama with minimal romance.

Two Weeks - I never finished it, but there was no romance up to episode 11. It's more action/thriller.

Bloody Monday - I haven't finished it, but I don't think it's romance focused (I don't remember any so far). Again an action/thriller/espionage type show.

Misaeng - I don't remember much romance. It's a workplace drama.


Prison Playbook and SKY Castle are highly regarded shows that I don't think are romance focused, though I haven't seen them. I'm sure there are a lot more ...

I strongly recommend  "My mister" and "The untamed" both will perfectly fit for ur expectation .Also both are my favorite dramas.Please try. U wont get disspointed

Not sure what genre you would be interested in so I'm just gonna recommend good dramas of every genre that have little to no romance and a good plot

Age of rebellion - Taiwanese (Has romances, but not the focus. Has a bunch of different plots. Tells the story of the darker struggles of high schoolers + some adults)

Boku Dake ga Inai Machi - Japanese (murder, time travel, all that good stuff. It's based off an anime which is also very good)

Extracurricular -  Korean (Highschool, dark themed, slight romance)

Hormones - Thai (You didn't mention Thai dramas but I'll include some anyways because they're hella good. This one has romance in it, but there's a bunch of different plots as well. It's high school themed and shows the darker struggles of high schoolers)

Hospital Playlist - Korean (Doctors who are friends and their lives. Pretty feel good-y)

Itaewon Class - Korean (Has romance, but I wouldn't consider it a romance because it's definitely much more focused n other stuff. Super good)

Project S: Skate our Souls - Thai (*Trigger warning for self harm and attempted suicide*) Emotional, skate boarding)

The King's Avatar - Chinese (Pro-gaming, and you get really invested and love all the characters)

The Stranded - Thai (High schoolers get stranded on an island. Will they survive? and What the hell is happening with the weird ass island. Kinda makes me think of the American TV show Lost)

W - Korean (This one does have a major romance but it also has a lot of plot beyond the romance and like a bunch of cool shit like parallel world type things)
