A Dark Romance with Twists and Tension
If you enjoy the toxicity and push-and-pull dynamic between the male and female leads in *Todome no Kiss*, then *Tempted* (also known as *The Great Seducer*) might be a drama worth watching. Both shows have a slightly dark romance (not too heavy), where the male lead initially uses the female lead, schemes, and struggles with another relationship that holds him back. In both, the male lead realizes his true feelings for the female lead a little late.
If you’re looking for a different vibe but still love the tension and complexity, I’d recommend giving *Tempted* a try!

-Both A Love So Beautiful and A River Runs Through It are Chinese youth dramas that center around high school and college experiences, focusing on themes of first love, long-lasting -friendships, and personal growth.
-Both shows are set in the late 90s and early 2000s, with a time jump at the end of the show.
-Both dramas feature love triangles and character dynamics that evolve over time.
-Both dramas have a smart male lead and an unacademic female lead.
I recommend the Chinese version of A Love So Beautiful if you liked A River Runs Through It!
