The majority of kdramas have kiss scenes in them, in fact it’s almost a given that the lead female and male end up with a sweet kiss.

However, there happens to be some kdramas that don’t feature kiss scenes. Ranging from horror to realistic, these kdramas thought it wasn’t necessary or appropriate to add a kiss scene.





So today, I will be sharing with you top 9 popular kdramas that don’t have kiss scenes in them.

Note: I have strayed away from murder psychopath dramas or dramas that are about crime investigation in general, since these dramas usually focus on a purpose rather than the romantic ending.

“Mirror Of The Witch”

“Mirror Of The Witch” is a historical drama that tells the story of a cursed young girl who was born as a princess but was left abandoned deep in the mountains, there she meets a man named Heo Jun.

Kim Sae Ron and Yoon Si Yoon led the drama. Their large age gap attracted fans who wondered how the drama will turn out.

The drama was released back in 2016, back then Kim Sae Ron was 16 years old, 14 years younger than Yoon Si Yoon who; back then, was 30 years old.

Mindful of the age gap, it seems like the writer and director chose to avoid a kiss scene, many fans also felt that it would be uncomfortable to watch a 16 year old kiss a 30 year old.

“School 2015”

“Who Are You: School 2015” also known as “School 2015” is another installment of the very successful KBS series titled “School” which launched many Korean actors and actresses to success.

In “School 2015” Kim So Hyun puts on one of her best performances in two different characters, the highschool drama is a fan-favorite and people refer to this drama as the drama that rocketed its leads to fame.

Kim So Hyun shared the screen with Nam Joo Hyuk and BTOB’s Yook Sung Jae, the two fought for the lead’s love.

There is a kiss scene in the drama, however, its not something that can be practically called a kiss scene, Yook Sung Jae gives Kim So Hyun a kiss on the cheek.

“Save Me”

A dark drama, OCN’s “Save Me” is one of the very few kdramas that talk about cults in Korea.

The drama is not light or romantic but does have romantic moments here and there.

Taecyeon and Woo Do Hwan fight for the love of Seo Ye Ji and her family safety as they go up against the religious cult with its sinister leader.

The drama doesn’t have many romantic moments, but the four boys care deeply about the girl whose family unluckily met by scary people.

The Korean version of the manga is equally intriguing and entertaining, it stars Lee Sang Yoon, Kim So Eun and Shin Sung Rok. Lee Sang Yoon and Kim So Eun face against Shin Sung Rok to win the game.





There are some sweet moments between Lee Sang Yoon and Kim So Eun but during the drama course their relationship doesn’t develop into a romantic one.

For a short moment, Lee Cho Hee was probably the most envied Korean actress by national and international fans.

She shared the screen with not one or two or three but with 7 very handsome Korean actors.





EXO’s Kai, Ji Chang Wook, Lee Min Ho, Taecyeon, Lee Joon Gi, Lee Jong Suk and Park Hae Jin are the 7 men who share the screen with her.

All the 7 men meet and fall in love with Lee Cho Hee’s character who’s an employee at Lotte Duty Free, despite its title “7 First Kisses” the drama doesn’t have kisses but near-kiss-scenes.

The lead actress struggles to choose between the 7 great men she meets, I think we can all agree that she saved her country in her previous life.

“Misaeng” is regarded as one of the greatest tvN dramas of all time and for a good reason.

The drama is 20 episodes long but never once fans felt like there was need for romance, the drama focuses on the harsh reality instead of the usual love triangles.

Im Siwan and Kang So Ra characters never truly progress from work-mates to lovers.
