Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
Kang Yohan x Kim Gaon

SO GOOD!! Acting is fantastic, visuals and special effects are great... Nearly perfect. Writers threw a female love interest into the story but the male leads have waay more chemistry -
2. Monster
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
Lee Dongsik x Han Joowon

Only a small part of the show as Gyuchul (played by jaewook) is merely one of the reincarnations, but it is toxic gay subtext if you believe hard enough !! Still watch Part1 before though, such a good show. -
20. Stranger
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
Hwang Si Mok x Seo Dong Jae
slow progressing but very well written plot!! often praised as one of the best out there, as for the bromance you probably wont see the 2 guys together for a pretty long time but they are a pretty big ship, maybe dont watch if you're bad with slow paced shows -
