▼No Love Triangles▼
POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT: I am starting to add comments in my lists in lieu of reviews/notes so beware of the potential spoilers. I will try to keep them to a minimum because I get it.
But that doesn't necessarily mean no love rivals, it just means those rivals were either never really competition or they left the race very early on. The ML/FL only had eyes for each other. May also only have a slight romance.

-
41. D-Day
Korean Drama - 2015, 20 episodes
-
42. A Beautiful Mind
Korean Drama - 2016, 14 episodes
Technically, the show starts with him in a relationship with someone to who he then proposes. Due to circumstances that followed, I didn't really consider this a love triangle, though.

There is a love rival but never a triangle. It's completely one-sided.
-
51. Find Me in Your Memory
Korean Drama - 2020, 32 episodes
There's just something about these slow melo romances that I love. I honestly wasn't sure how I was going to feel about the romance initially. I didn't love the outside connection and worried that it would play a certain role in influencing emotions. It does factor in in a major way but not in the way I was worried about. Instead, their connection ends up feeling really natural and genuine. He likes her and she likes him. It ends up being that simple. But obviously, it can never be that simple hence the drama. And there ends up being a lot of drama. A little too much probably, which is why I rated it an 8.5 instead of a 9.0.
-
52. The Day of Becoming You
Chinese Drama - 2021, 26 episodes
There is the unrequited love of a former classmate and long-time friend. They "date" for an episode or two but only because of a specific situation so it's never really a triangle. FL has zero romantic interest. He knows it is a lost cause and is never pushy after the fact.
-
53. Be With You
Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes
The show starts with SML as a love rival/unrequited love. He ends up with his own love interest.
-
54. Please Don't Meet the Man
Korean Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
No "Love Triangle" tag
I really like offbeat romcoms and this fits that bill perfectly. It kept taking different directions but never lost its heart. I ended up being completely charmed by this drama.
-
55. You Are My Spring
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
No "Love Triangle" tag
While the first episode feels like it's setting up for a love triangle, that is actually halted pretty quickly. In the end, this is a slow-paced, healing drama with a lot of warm feels and side of thriller/suspense. Definitely recommend. Plus, the ML actor is now one of my faves after watching him in Find Me in Your Memory and now this. Special Labor Inspector Jo will be next!

56. Mysterious Love
Chinese Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
No "Love Triangle" tag
This gave us the main couple almost right from the start. And I appreciate a ML who's not afraid to show us some skin. We get to witness a few good ab shots <3 The romance between ML/FL and even SFL/SML is pretty cute and satisfying. No major interruptions or complications. It's the story/plot that kind of brings it down just a little for me. Overall, would recommend, 8/10.
