Dark themed Romance Dramas (Mainly BL)
I would recommend these dramas if you like a bittersweet romance or like a dark themed romance. It's also dramas that include toxicity, but not all of them. I have not finished all of these. This list is not in any particular order.
-
1. Thundercloud Rainstorm
Korean Drama - 2025, 8 episodes
If you like watching toxic relationships with Dominant/Submissive type of trope, but want something that's not too intense. Then I suggest this, but be wary it is a cousin relationship trope. However, if you just imagine that doesn't exist then the story itself is quite interesting. And yes I would say there are scenes considered spicy, but not mega spice.

2. The Lie We Lived In
Korean Drama - 2026, 8 episodes
-
3. Dear Hongrang
Korean Drama - 2025, 11 episodes
If you want to feel intense emotion such as sadness, then I suggest watching this. The OST is beautiful, the storyline is magnificent, but the only downside is that it's a sibling trope. So if you hate that, then don't watch it, but I REALLY suggest putting that aside because the story itself is so good.

4. Revenged Love
Chinese Drama - 2025, 24 episodes
This is another BL, and yes it does have spicy scenes in it. I personally believe it's a good show, like it can really get you immersed into the storyline. Maybe it's because I got emotionally attached to the characters, but I just love how all the characters aren't just npc's. They actually have their own little storylines, also there is a side couple so that's fun.

5. To My Shore
Chinese Drama - 2025, 15 episodes

6. My Stand-In: Uncut
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Honestly, Ming is annoying. However, this series does have spicy scenes and the storyline is quite interesting. Especially if you like toxic relationships then you should go and watch this.

7. 4Minutes (Sultrier Version)
Thai Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
I watched the spicy version, but there is a clean one. However, this series was confusing, but once you get it. The story is actually so interesting and I feel like the spicy scenes are a little bonus.

8. The Prosecutor's Proposal
Korean Drama - 2026, 10 episodes
-
9. Secret Relationships
Korean Drama - 2025, 8 episodes
-
10. My Personal Weatherman
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
The story is annoying at the start, but it does gett better. If you like the Dominant/Submissive trope then you'd love this series. If you like Revenged Love, then you'd probably like this too, since they remind me of the main couple. It's not the best, but it still has it's good qaulities.

17. Happy of the End

I'm yet to finish, but don't be warded off by my low rating. This show is just intense for me, since it's a heavily dark drama. WARNING: SA is involved. This is recommended for those who like heavily dark stuff.
