2. Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
it's so beautiful to see the female lead let her guard down the more you watch the show. the side characters and their stories add to the show feeling comfy and warm yet fun too! especially because those stories are rather female centric of all ages: a teenage girl, the female lead and the pregnant store owner, the restaurant owners who are only slightly older and the town's grannies! the show is like a breeze and such a good rom-com!

3. Love Me, Love My Voice
Chinese Drama - 2023, 33 episodes
a show with no nothings. no exes, no conflict, no difficulties for anyone, no problems, no scandals, no nothings. just friends, love, food and music. and i loveeeeed it!

4. Meet Yourself
Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes
this show felt like a gate to let go of my feelings and i will always love it for that. sometimes, too many side stories, but overall such a good healing drama!

5. My Liberation Notes
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
sometimes, the female lead would share her thoughts ... and i related to them just a little too much. this show felt like someone went inside my head and took my thoughts in the best way possible. because yes, somtimes, we don't even do much, but everything feels too exhausting. and if the world just ended now, we wouldn't even mind. this was calm but felt like a storm sometimes.

this was so incredibly sad... the what could have beens, the what ifs... the ending made me cry...

10. Welcome to Samdal-ri
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
a beautiful show about second chances in general, not just love. a second chance to appreciate your roots, to find closure, to grow and mature. don't watch this because you expect revenge, it's so much better than just revenge.

11. When the Weather Is Fine
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
a nice project for PMY to show that she doesn't just do office rom-coms. this was calm and slow, but also very warm and healing.
