Here's a hot take: Male friendships are not as shallow as they're made out to be. Now, you may want to counter that statement with many reasons including lack of emotional expressiveness, difficulty being vulnerable, and of course, the classic- men and their narrow way of reading intimacy.
But if you have been an ardent fan of K-dramas, you'll know that claim hardly stands. Maybe where American sitcoms tend to pair two men as good friends as a comic relief or as side characters (yes, there are exceptions to it like DTF St. Louis, Stranger Things), Korean series are masterclass on bromances.
Here's a list of Korean-dramas that depict friendship between men in a wholesome way. Check out the K-drama watch list:
Faced with ruthless foes with a violent thirst, two young boxers band together — risking life and limb to bring justice and protect their loved ones. The action packed suspenseful drama stars Woo Do-hwan and Lee Sang-yi as they take on a new, dangerous international boxing league, featuring Rain as a major new antagonist.
Also known as Guardian: The Lonely and Great God, Kim Shin, an immortal goblin, goes to find a human bride to remove an invisible sword from his chest and end his life. One day, school student Ji Eun-Tak confesses to him that she is the chosen one.
A slice of life and age of coming comedy drama, a city kid moves to the countryside after his father gets a coaching job reviving a ragtag middle school badminton team on the brink of extinction.
Upon suffering in an accident, a brilliant surgeon's soul takes shelter in an intelligent resident's body. While the two are poles apart, they agree to work together.
The K-drama at its core revolves around Yeoun Si-eun and his shifting relationships with other boys. What starts as a reluctant alliance slowly turns into something deeper: loyalty under pressure, protection, betrayal and grief.
