2016/11/28, Source
Bromance has become a favored genre in recent times on top of romance between handsome men and pretty women. Some dramas with Bromance along the lines are "Dr. Romantic", "The Legend of the Blue Sea", "Goblin" and "Hwarang". The Bromance can occur between master and student or a team of frauds or even young peers. Song Joong-ki and Jin Goo from "Descendants of the Sun", Kim Rae-won and Yoon Kyun-sang of "Doctors" and Cho Jung-seok and Go Kyung-pyo from "Incarnation of Jealousy" started bro-mancing earlier this year. "Dr. Romantic" Han Suk-kyu who plays Kim Sa-bu the bad tempered doctor and Yoo Yeon-seok in the role of Kang Dong-joo, seem to have started off on the wrong foot but are slowly getting to know each other.
