I think there was romance in The Circle, but very minimal and unrelated to the plot of the show? Mostly just thrown in at the end. It’s possible I’m forgetting something though as I haven’t seen it in a good while

But it was really good, I’m meh about romantic kdramas usually (hence why I’ve only found a couple I like) and I was happy with the lack of romance in Circle (and the amazing plot did no harm for sure). It ruined all kdramas for me though because after that one the rest all seem boring
