Dramas to watch when you're in the mood for... (Recommendations for different moods)

JulyMoon VIP

Hi everyone! 

I'm a mood watcher (meaning my mood dictates what I'm watching when) and a friend of mine recently gave me short one sentence descriptions to her recommendations to me, to make it easier to know before if they fit my mood or not. I found this so helpful and thought I need to share this with fellow mood watchers. 

So my plan is that here you will find recommendations for all kind of different moods in the future. <3

I hope many others will share their recommendations here and a short description about the dramas vibe, movies are welcome too. ^.^


When you recommend something please try to follow the format below and of course avoid or mark spoilers! 

Recommendation: Drama/Movie Title
