let me explain why I put this in here because there IS a main romance in this:

• the life lessons taught by the teacher to his students is the main focus for majority of the drama
• the kids try and kill him so many times you forget that he's there for a purpose (revenge)
• it's so batshit crazy you kinda forget that there's a romance plot among it 
• the lover is unconscious 95% of the series so you really only see the romance in flashbacks, in brief mentions, and really the last episode
• what i'm saying is you could replace the lover with a family member or a friend and still get the exact same drama out of it 

• no romance
• maybe a hint of romance between the owner of the coffee shop & his friend

• romantic sideplots that can be ignored
• platonic focus

• very little romance side storylines that have very little relevance on the overall plot 

• minor romance
• main focus is on a familial relationship

• i'd say there's no romance or if there is it's more subtext than anything else

• the romance is very minor
• the most major relationship is established (married couple) but other than a husband trying to find his wife there's not much to it

• romance side plots

• little/minor romance
• to me the romance(s) felt very one sided
• honestly the romance in this drama can be easily ignored
• the little romance there is doesn't really add to the plot

• no romance as of the episodes i've seen so far

• it's a death game there's no time for romance

• idk if you could really class it as a romance more of a "we're gonna die so let's fuck" side plot 

• i'd say there was no romance in this but it could've been implied but the mangotv subs were so bad idk wtf was going on half the time
