ROMANCE | Strangers to Lovers

This list includes couples who don't know each other at the beginning of the drama - so there is no typical childhood connection. Strangers to Lovers is one of my favorite tropes. I really like it when the main characters have yet to really get to know each other. 

I name dramas that I've already watched, am currently watching or that I dropped.

I provide brief information about how the leads met and maybe add some information about their occupation.

The upper half of the list has dramas with straight couples and lower half with gay/lesbian couples.
