It's really sad when I have a drama I like and I think, "You would be so perfect if not for this unnecessary, illogical romantic subplot problem you have over here." I should probably watch more family-oriented drama, since I've liked some of the ones I've watched a lot, although I will have to get the tissues ready (but honestly I end up crying with most dramas ^^;).
I really love Kimi wa Petto. It's my favorite romance drama, and since I was also thinking of making a list of dramas with romantic stories that I thought were done well or at least done in an original way.
Yes! Same-sex friendships are really important too! I was thinking about making another list with dramas with female friendships I liked a lot. I tend to be very wary of gender-swap retellings because I'm worried they're doing it to make the relationship more romantic or whatever, and ugh, heteronormativity. If they want to make characters' relationships romantic, they can just make them romantic with the original genders.
