I am looking for recommendations of non-romance shows that you liked, preferably Japanese but I am open to others. I tried korean non-romance ones and it's always a hit or miss. for example, misaeng & argon were good but I couldn't stand Bad Guys or You are all surrounded. on the other hand, I have always lucked out with japanese non-romance focused shows. they are less over the top & subtle in their storytelling I feel. To start us off, here are some of the ones I can remember enjoying:

Doctor X (hand down the best medical show I have ever watched. it's so ridiculously unrealistic that it's adorable. I watched every season).

Caution, hazardous wife

It's so fun and I don't have to worry about getting addicted. it's a relaxing crime periodically with a gang of housewives.

zero no shinjitsu

I like how predictably the characters behave. it's calming.

You could try Chief Kim. It's Korean though.

Unable to trace your taste in dramas as Bad Guys is a pretty good one but still here's the list of the most famous or best non-romantic K-dramas from 2014-2017

Two Weeks

Liar Game (almost as good as Japanese)

My Bautiful Bride (I loved this)

I Remember You (deals with thought process of serial killers)

Six Flying Dragons (important part of Korean history)

Awl (this is similar to Misaeng based on labours and their unions)

Signal (must watch for every K-drama fan)

Ms.Temper and Nam Jung-Gi (brilliant with badass FL)

Memory

Ped Piper

Last

My Lawyer Mr.Jo (all those who watched loved it)
