Best non-main couples TOP 5

Last week I was reminded that in some dramas the non-main couples can overshadow the main couple with  their cuteness. Or their chemistry and nondramatic storyline gives a good change  to the often overdramatic main couple. So here are my TOP 5 favourite non-main couples from Asian dramas.

5. Proposal Daisakusen - Eri x Tsuru

Eri and Tsuru were the first non-main couple that made me constantly be happy for them as their story gave a good twist of humour to the main character's heart ache. Especially as the main story and the sidestory followed the same pattern: guy who has been in love with his friend for years, but has never had an actual chance with her. While Tsuru was the fool of the school, Eri was the queen. Yet love doesn't ask others opinion.

4. Heartstrings - Han Hee Joo x Yeo Joon Hye (aka Natasha and the chicken boy)

For chicken boy it was love at first sight - for him it was special as usually it was "love at first bite" for him. His sincerity - that sounded like stupidity - eventually payed off as his feelings reached Natasha the Ice Queen who actually was just a girl who wanted to fulfill her dreams. While other people saw only their covers, they took the time to read each other. 

3. Summer Nude - Hanae x Hikaru

Their beginning is the saddest in this list, while their ending is the happiest as they are the only ones being in a serious love-triangle (actually it is more complicated than an ordinary triangle). For years they are just friends because Hanae is in love with their other friend and is unable to see Hikaru's burning torch. Who knew that the shoulder that was there to cry on, was also the right hand to hold on to. 

2. Buzzer Beat - Mai x Shuuji

From strangers living together to engaged couple. This simple almost childish lovestory between a flutist and  a basketball player. Sounds familiar? well that's because the main story is about a violinist and a basketball player! After all Mai and Shuuji met because of the main couple. They are also the only couple in this list with reverse age difference - Mai is two years older than Shuuji - adding a little twist to their story as from the first episode on Mai keeps saying how she has to get an older man. But again love never cares about age.

1. Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge - Noi x Takenaga

Noi is the only woman who can enter the mansion of 4 good looking men whenever she wants it. That's because she is the (un)official sweetheart of Takenaga, the successor of famous house of ikebana. Noi is straightforward and easily admits her feelings fo Takenaga, he on the other hand is really shy making things rather difficult. Yet the cuter it is when he's honest to Noi. Why the first place? Just watch it and you'll know: they are just a match made in heaven.
