No Romance, Just Story
A collection of dramas where the story comes first and romance stays out of it.
No forced couples, no love triangles, no distracting romance — just compelling plots, great characters, mystery, action, friendship, bromance, and everything that makes a drama worth watching.
Who needs romance when the storyline is this good? 😌

Even though this drama is tagged as romance, I would hardly consider it a romance. There are some romantic elements—the female lead has a crush on one of the main leads, and there is also a side romance between two other characters. That might be the reason it has a romance tag.
However, apart from these elements, the drama is primarily a youthful journey and bromance. The romance is not the focus of the story.
