    1. Healer

    Korean Drama - 2014, 20 episodes

    9.5

    FL had a slight crush on her role model in the beginning, but it's barely a thing and he has strong feelings for someone else. She was already half over that crush at the beginning of the drama and forgets about it quickly. She also mentions having a crush on the ML's secret identity (Healer) from fairly early on. This turns into the closest thing the drama has to a love triangle: the ML's two secret identities and the FL. No other distractions.

  • Crash Landing on You

    2. Crash Landing on You

    Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes

    10

    No M/F/M love triangle in the sense that only one male character falls in love with the FL. A slight F/M/F love triangle, but it's limited and not frustrating. 

    The FL encounters her ex-fiancee (the SML), which makes the ML a bit jealous at first, and the ML has a fiancee as part of an arranged marriage but he has no feelings for her. 

    (More significant spoilers ahead) The FL and SML never had romantic feelings for each other. The FL's brothers set her up with the SML because he was a Korean Englishman and they wanted to send her abroad so they wouldn't have to compete with her for their father's company. One of the brothers hurt the SML's family, so the SML was planning to get revenge by marrying into the family, but the FL saw through him completely. So the SML respects the FL and they are basically friendly acquaintances. Later in the drama, the ML relies on the SML to help the FL and they also become essentially friendly acquaintances, and the SML's romantic storyline is with the ML's fiancee. 

    The ML's fiancee likes the ML, doesn't like that the FL puts the ML in danger / doesn't like the FL, but she's an interesting character and gets her own romantic storyline. I didn't find her annoying or unlikeable. The ML never had any romantic feelings for her and was never torn.

    Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes

    8.0

    Three very minor possible alternatives to the ML (FL's former student, FL's friend's brother, ML's cousin / rival). None are presented as serious candidates and they get minimal screen time / plot attention.

  • Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung

    14. Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung

    Korean Drama - 2019, 40 episodes

    7.5

    There's really no second lead / love triangle dynamic at all. The FL has a good rapport with her senior and the ML's brother, who are both fond of her, but those relationships remain completely platonic. When political figures try to arrange the ML's marriage, they never end up getting to the point of picking a fiancee for him.

    15. Search: WWW

    Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes

    7.5

    No love triangle at all. The second FL is the ML's step sister. The SML is the FL's friend, but apart from a slight misunderstanding on the ML's part in the beginning, they are never, ever portrayed as anything other than close, platonic friends. 

  • Come and Hug Me

    17. Come and Hug Me

    Korean Drama - 2018, 32 episodes

    7.5

    The FL's sunbae is interested in the ML but he has zero interest in her or anyone other than the FL and the sunbae takes up very little screen time. The FL's adopted brother might have romantic feelings for her or he might just be really protective. I prefer to think the latter. He never says anything to the FL and she never wavers in her feelings. Overall no real distractions.

  • Go Go Squid!

    18. Go Go Squid!

    Chinese Drama - 2019, 41 episodes

    7.5

    The FL's senior at her university has a massive crush on her and tries to go out with her several times, but she has zero interest and is never distracted. He's fairly peripheral to the story so I wouldn't call him a SML. Technically you could call this a M/F/M love triangle but it's minor and one-sided.

    Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes

    6.5

    Although some viewers ship the ML with an older secondary female character instead of the FL, their relationship is complicated... it can be viewed as subtle romance, not romance at all, or one-sided feelings on the part of the female character. Basically if you don't want to see romance there you don't have to. No other distractions.

The SML is interested in the FL because of her seeming connection to a mysterious woman in his past, but doesn't actually have any interest in the FL as her own person.
