Minimal Skinship <.<
Prepare to be frustrated. There might be some hand holding or hugs or a kiss on the cheek but these dramas have very limited skinship. Mostly school dramas.

1. Mr. Sunshine
Korean Drama - 2018, 24 episodes
Sad hugs and hand holding, but not. even. a. single. kiss.
-
2. School 2017
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
A kiss on the cheek is the most we get. Also a few almost kisses, some hand holding, and some close-quarters moments.
-
3. The Untamed
Chinese Drama - 2019, 50 episodes
Zero explicitly romantic skinship because censorship TT.TT
-
4. The Princess Wei Young
Chinese Drama - 2016, 54 episodes
This one just barely makes the list. There's a lot of good stuff to distract from the lack of skinship, but if they're one of your favourite couples (as they are mine) you'll still likely find yourself lamenting the limited skinship.
The ML cradles the FL in his arms and kisses her hand and cheek, and she frequently sits beside him and puts her head on his shoulder. They have many great little touches and such great chemistry, but as far as kisses on the lips, there's like one and a half. One is simply an exchange of medicine while one of them is unconscious, and the other is pretty quick and wooden. Such a shame! -
5. Mad Dog
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
Loads of flirting. Lots of invading each others' personal space. Some pats on the head and a sort-of hug, but not a single kiss. Not even a cheek or hand or forehead kiss. Such a painful waste of chemistry.

6. Page Turner
Korean Special - 2016, 3 episodes
Minimal hand holding and a bike riding scene. The ML and SML are never explicitly presented as having romantic feelings for the FL and vice versa. Depending on your interpretation you could view their relationships as platonic.

7. Ashi Girl
Japanese Drama - 2017, 12 episodes
At least one hug. Some hand holding. A couple almost kisses.
-
8. Ms. Perfect
Korean Drama - 2017, 20 episodes
IIRC the ML winks at the FL once, hugs her, and strokes her hair to comfort her a few times. That's it.

Korean Special - 2017, 1 episode

10. Bloody Romance
Chinese Drama - 2018, 36 episodes
No kisses at all.

11. My Huckleberry Friends
Chinese Drama - 2017, 30 episodes
Honestly I can't remember if they even held hands.
-
12. Time
Korean Drama - 2018, 32 episodes
ML carries the FL a few times, pulls her out of traffic, and puts a necklace on her. That's about it.
-
13. The Rise of Phoenixes
Chinese Drama - 2018, 70 episodes
There was cuddling and hand holding and lots of faces-hovering-near-each-other and one under water "kiss" / air sharing, but it was such a cop out. As far as I'm concerned I consider this yet another mind boggling drama with a significant love line but no real kiss. WHY?!
