My Favourite Character Friendship Dramas

Friendship is a wonderful thing so... here's a list of my favourite dramas that follow the sweet, platonic relationships between characters :))

These dramas may also have romance plotlines, but this list is solely dedicated to my favourite friendships between characters. 

Feel free to leave a comment if you have one to recommend! I am in dire need of recommendations and I always, always appreciate them :)

  • Reply 1988

    1. Reply 1988

    Korean Drama - 2015, 20 episodes

    10

    This list would not be complete without Reply1988. It's the absolute epitome of friendship dramas (and dramas in general). 

  • I Don't Want To Be Friends With You

    2. I Don't Want To Be Friends With You

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes

    9.5

    Please just go watch this drama, it's so incredibly good, but is disappointingly underappreciated.

  • Prison Playbook

    3. Prison Playbook

    Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes

    I never thought I would get so attached to a group of fictional criminals lol

  • Noodlanding op jou

    4. Noodlanding op jou

    Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes

    9.0

    The friendship between the ajumma's in the village as well as the people in Ri Jung Hyuk's military company will forever hold a special place in my drama memories. 

  • The Untamed

    5. The Untamed

    Chinese Drama - 2019, 50 episodes

    10

    Lan Yuan <3  <3  <3 

    Wen Ning <3  <3  <3  <3

    That's all I have to say

  • Hospital Playlist

    6. Hospital Playlist

    Korean Drama - 2020, 12 episodes

    9.0

    At this point this list is just 50% Shin Won Ho PD/Lee Woo Jung Writer 

  • Coffee Prince

    7. Coffee Prince

    Korean Drama - 2007, 17 episodes

    9.0

    This drama aired almost 15 years ago and that slightly scares me- anyway the friendship between the cafe employee's was super cute

  • Heart Signal 2

    8. Heart Signal 2

    Korean TV Show - 2018, 13 episodes

    8.5

    I know this is a reality/variety show, but this doesn't take away from the fact that the friendships in this are great.

  • The Ballot

    9. The Ballot

    Korean Drama - 2020, 32 episodes

    9.0

    There are so many dramas where the FL and her two best friends  are seen as a 'squad', but this is the best of all of them. Into the Ring's squad just makes me happy, like I adore all three of the girls and their bonds. I wish I had a strong support system like this around me. 

  • Racket Boys

    10. Racket Boys

    Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

    9.0

    Racket Boys best 2021 cutesy friendship drama I say. 

  • Youth Over Flowers: Africa

    11. Youth Over Flowers: Africa

    Korean TV Show - 2016, 7 episodes

    9.0

    Another variety show to the list that was only supposed to be for dramas... but anyway. This follows the main male cast of Reply1988 (as in the main squad minus Hyeri and Lee Dong Hwi) as they go around Africa on a trip, it's such a fun watch and is a must watch for people who have finished Reply1988 and are missing the cast. 

    Park Bo Gum <3 <3 <3 

  • Frightening Cohabitation

    12. Frightening Cohabitation

    Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

    8.5

    I'm still not entirely sure whether I super duper love this drama or just kinda love this drama; but regardless of that I ADORE the friendship between Hyeri and her two buddies. Park Kyung Hye always does the most for her roles in dramas, and Kim Do Wan really brought personality to Jae Jin as a character. 

  • Secrets in the Lattice

    13. Secrets in the Lattice

    Chinese Drama - 2021, 24 episodes

    9.5
  • Don't Think of Interrupting My Studies

    14. Don't Think of Interrupting My Studies

    Chinese Drama - 2021, 24 episodes

    9.5
  • Be Melodramatic

    15. Be Melodramatic

    Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes

    9.0

    It's Jan 2022 and I can't believe I never thought to add Be Melodramatic to this list, it's literally the definition of a female friendship centred drama. 

  • Postnatal Care Center

    16. Postnatal Care Center

    Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes

    9.5

    I absolutely adored this drama for the way it portrayed the women in the birth centre, they were all so supportive of each other (once you got past the first few episodes lol). I'm really glad the writing team decided to portray the women in this light as opposed to pitting them against each other.
