ML × Mentor ML

Ofcourse if you get popular you need to play a crime or investigation drama where you have to be the dumb second ml that gets mentored by a older actor.

In this classic crime-drama setup, a brilliant but "naively clumsy" younger detective is paired with a cynical, rule-abiding veteran. While the rookie solves the most complex forensic puzzles under the guise of "tripping into clues," the veteran spends his time complaining about broken protocols, only to pivot and use them.

The audience knows who the genius is, but the show insists we're all here to watch the older guy's "masterclass" in scowling

Plus points if there are scenes like:

The Rule-Rant: The veteran spends five minutes yelling about a search warrant while the younger lead is already halfway through the suspect's window.

The "I Taught Him That": The final scene where the veteran tells the press how he "molded" the rookie, while the rookie just smiles and nods for the cameras.

There's dramas that have a healthy type of dynamic in this list too.
