Korean dramas recommendation? No romance.

You guys know any kdrama that doesn't have to do with a lot of romance (unless they're gay) but rather with fantasy, adventure, sci-fi, coming of age, crime, comedy, life and etc?

kind of new to the kdrama scene and it would really help.

Secret Investigation Record (sci-fi, sageuk/period drama)
The End of the World (sci-fi, medical)
Empire of Gold (business; despite its opening scene, it barely has any romance, or at least not the kind that particular scene implied)
Assembly (politics)
Pied Piper (crime)
Yoona's Street (slice of life; the drama does have some romance, but it's really not the focus of the story)

You have to watch Signal ! That's the best drama ever ☺
There isn't so much romance in Six Flying Dragons too, if you like historical drama ^^
