Friends To Lovers
Note: This is a personal list, and I'll only include shows and films that interest me
A list of friends to lovers dramas and films. Since the trope itself is very vague and can accumulate a vast number of titles, I'll only include shows here in which the leads had been great friends for long before getting into a relationship.
Also, my personal favorite for this trope won't actually make it to this list since the leads are like best friends in denial, seem to dislike each other but you can see how great friends they are, all of it before the ML started to crush on the FL. But Arsenal Military Academy is my all time favorite show just because of their romance and friendship and it fits well with this trope, but as romance is only a minor focus of the show I won't include it here. Still wanted to mention it.
List still under construction. Sorry for the inconvenience

3. Reply 1997
Korean Drama - 2012, 16 episodes
I love love love this show, but due to a lot of other reasons than the lead relationship. Let's just say, the show has other things that won me over, but the romance wasn't as great as those things. However, it's a must watch overall

4. Fight for My Way
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
I was really liking it in the beginning, but then the usual falling 2nd half of kdrama happened + the 2nd lead pairing was a torture to watch I hated the guy. Also, the 4 are supposed to be the bestest of friends but the 4 of them are barely all together. It's mostly either the ML & FL, the girls or the boys. I could only feel the friendship of the ML & FL and that of the girls.
