Iris might also pique his interest. I haven't watched it, but my unni and some of the other members have recommended it to me.
I loved Little Girl K
There's also Holy Land (there are Korean and Japanese versions).

MR.BRAIN - it's about using brain analysis to solve "perfect crimes" it's episodal..so every episode have different stories..and its only 8 ep.
JIN 1&2 - it's medical/historical drama...
Godhand Teru
Detective drama
BOSS 1&2
Black and White - do you consider 24 ep. long? if not you can also try this..It's mystery/action/detective drama...
HERO
Going by the Book - movie
Kurosagi
Maou
Special Affairs Team TEN

Mystery/detective
[list][*]Face Maker[/URL]--surgery mystery type [U]thing, lol
[*]Ataru
[*]The Quiz Show--POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT: Part of the story involves a love interest, but it's in memory and it's really sick and twisted, far from "romantic" or "comedy."
[*]W no Higeki--decent. I know the story seems cliche, but they did it in a wonderful way. The beginning is good, but I didn't like the ending. Many people did though.
[/list]
This one isn't what you described at all, but I think it's a drama for those who like BritComs:
Yuusha Yoshihiko to Maou no Shiro

Chuno (Action and adventure...very very little romance and what is there is ...ummm spoilery) 24 episodes and really excellent fights.
A Man's Story !!!! Revenge, psychological twistyiness! action and adventure. A real "Guys Drama"
Ghost ~ NO romance...Police procedural, suspense and mystery. I've watched to ep 14 and there is no romance at all. Well written too.
Does he like comedy?
Don Quixote is very funny...Buddy comedy and no /very very very little romance. Pretty much non existent romance. But still so hysterical and cool.
Dae Mul ~ Politics. Very well written, very little romance until the very end. Well written and acted.
(Too bad he won't give Pride a try. It's so good. The world of hockey and macho guys but yes...romance too.)

Guys drama sounds good for him but i want to watch along :D but i feel A Man's Story sounds really good along with all of you recommendations i love them all yet no, i don't believe asian comedy will get through him since he's a boring english man somehow :p *looking around* (for that he doesn't see what i wrote )
Yes! Too bad i loved Pride yet i don't believe he will ever give it a chance :(

and my brother interested in bridal mask too, because it doesn't look like a drama.. :)
so, based on what my brother or my male friends like, I second MR. BRAIN, JIN, and ghost..
also add Iryu 1-3, liar game, and bloody monday...
and I know it's not in your criteria, but I really recommend 1 Litre of Tears..
All boys I know have watched it, loved it... eventho they have to admit that they cried for the drama... kekekeke
