1. The Happy Loner
Korean Special - 2017, 2 episodes
The drama starts out a bit loud / over the top, but quickly (it's a short drama special) moves on to a quieter and deeper story. The leads both deal with facing adulthood and what it means to be an adult, balancing personal boundaries and independence with interpersonal relationships, and dealing with abandonment, cold families, and loneliness.
