    Best friends to lovers. A trope that just hits every time. Can anyone on this list love each other as much as these two? Maybe not. For when you are in search of a simple love and  a one and only.

  • Kimi ni wa Todokanai

    24. Kimi ni wa Todokanai

    Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

    8.0

    Another best friends to lovers, because like I said, this trope is a winner. A one sided romantic love that threatens to crumble a  childhood friendship. For when you miss the fresh scent of first love. 

  • Bed Friend

    25. Bed Friend

    Thai Drama - 2023, 10 episodes

    8.0

    Another guilty pleasurer on this list. TBH I hated Bed Friend's the first time I watched it. I just couldn't stomach the pain Uea was dragged through. I liked it a lot more the second time around, and the credit goes to how much chemistry Net and James have together.  Watch it for when you want to be pissed of at shitty parents and shitty people in general.  I set you free, your anger is valid. 

  • KinnPorsche

    26. KinnPorsche

    Thai Drama - 2022, 14 episodes

    8.0

    The more I ponder on this drama... the more messed up it is and the less I enjoy it.  Maybe one day it will drop of this list. For now, I have to say it's iconic and a must watch. A mafia drama with shitty human beings galore, but doesn't that make it more authentic? Watch it for Apo.  One for when you're in the mood for romanticized mafiosos.

  • Star and Sky: Star in My Mind | Sky in Your Heart

    27. Star and Sky: Star in My Mind | Sky in Your Heart
