Hey

So I am searching for any kind of drama that has a Love/Hate Relationship or Bickering Couple. The important thing is, that they don´t like each other that much!

The other really important things are:

  • No love at first sight (Understandable with a Love/Hate Relationship but I also mean that they don´t fall in love with the appearance of the other part! They must genuiely fall in love with the personality)
  • No weak/dumb/stupid Leads. That means both of them (but especially FL)
  • No medical drama
  • Good romance development (I don´t want that the ML saves the FL 2 times and she falls in love with him instantly because he is so strong and cool and a hero -.- ) I need a slow progress where you can understand why they fall in love
  • No BL
  • The Male Lead fall in love first

Bonus:

  • If there is a SML it would be great if he ended up with a different girl
  • No big age gap especially older woman/younger man
  • Oblivious Female Lead when it comes to love

Setting and language both doesn´t matter.

I believe Strongest Deliveryman (2017) fills out all your criteria. FL and ML are both working as delivery people for restaurants and start off on a misunderstanding (so no love at first sight). Both are smart and ambitious. And if I remember correctly ML falls in love first and FL doesn't know much about love. Also SML does get his own love story.

Suspicious Partner (2017) also has some sweet romance where the leads start off as enemies of some sort. 

Uncontrollably Fond (2016) have leads that are ex-lovers and because of their history, they hate each other. 

Hi! Here are some of my recommendations:

Korean dramas

Chinese dramas

Japanese dramas 

I watched some of these a long time ago so I can't remember if they do suit all your requirements. Hope they do and that you enjoy them!

Thank you! I´m going to try Strongest Deliveryman. I already watched Suspicious Partner and Uncontrollably Fond. 

Suspicious Partner was cute, but the FL falls in love first and I usually don´t like that that much.

Uncontrollably Fond is one of those examples that I have in mind, when I think of bad romance progress. It makes absolutely no sense to my why they fell in love.

All fit your requirements! I hope you'll find something you'll enjoy :) 

Thank you!

Thank you! I already watched some and I would say Takane to Hana fits my criteria good but dramas like Lucky´s first love, My secret Romance and Skate into love don´t^^" 

But I am gonna try the others.

The Romance of Tiger and Rose (2020) strongly recommended. 

https://mydramalist.com/36297-hyena - rivals to lover story

https://mydramalist.com/7761-secret - ML want to take revenge on FL and fall in love during the process

https://mydramalist.com/13865-kleun-cheewit - Thai version of secret - less dark

https://mydramalist.com/34027-mung-bean-chronicles - a guy cross dress as a woman. His cohabitant finds out and they are arguing a lot 

https://mydramalist.com/13201-neung-nai-suang - ML did bully F when they were kids. When they meet again as grown-ups they are constantly in a power fight against each other. Because their families and friends are entangled they meet often

https://mydramalist.com/24662-the-wolf - they loved each other when they were young, got separated and meet again standing on opposite sides. (For me the perfect love/hate drama)
