I am interested in male friendship/ bonding themes or very close brotherhood or partnership that is supportive. I think you call it bromance sometimes. Preferably no makjang or as little as possible ;-;
When I think of the theme, I come up with:
Don Quixote
Padam, Padam
Ojakgyo brothers
TaeGukGi - very powerful.
Joint Security Area
Giant
King of Baking Kim Tak Gu and Can you hear my heart (but there was makjang there)
and yes I guess Hana Yori Dango/Boys before flower touch upon that theme, but it's not too deep.
The Princess Man had elements of it as well.
Good luck had it inasmuch as it also was a student-mentor and team relationship, but it was a form of bonding. And I enjoyed this theme in good luck. Dae Mul is also a nice example of what I'm looking for as it had those very elements in the relationship between the main lead and his boss and it was sort of bantering but it was supportive. So the theme can extend to "professional partnership".
Do you have any other suggestions where I could find such a theme? Any genre, any country will do.
