Healthy relationships
My number one draw to watch dramas is strong bonds between people so I'm open to watching series with almost all kinds. Romance (het or LGBT+), bromance, sismance, familial (blood, adopted or found-family), best friends, close-knit friend groups, teammance (saw someone on MDL use this).
These series contain relationships (romantic or platonic) where feelings aren't the end-all-be-all and there's focus on related parties being considerate of each other's mental, physical and emotional, material (etc.) interest and well-being. This should include one or more of the following aspects
- a mutually tacit understanding of each other and their relationship
- jealousy is kept to reasonable amounts
- communication actually happens, misunderstandings are minimal
- being mutually supportive (but not submissive) of each other but also valuing each other's opinion
- partners that are complementary where they each bring something to the relationship
- accepting each other as they are and not trying to 'change' them without their consent
- being themselves with each other in all aspects, sharing the highs, lows and in-betweens

1. Love Me, Love My Voice
Chinese Drama - 2023, 33 episodes
Romance: Main CP are the biggest green flags, secondary CP is also great but the (minor) third CP (Doudou/spoiler) has some communicative problems.
The friendships are all close-knit with no dramas. Family relationships are also good.
