It seems like a relative rarity that the super romantic/atmospheric dramas with a serious or somber tone actually end happily…do you have any recommendations? I don’t care about which country it’s from!
Thirty But Seventeen (more light overall but deals with a lot of trauma/ptsd too)
May I Help You (Very underrated kdrama that deals realistically with death, the loss of loved ones, grief, trauma and how/what it takes to move on despite the supernatural bits. Very cute, mature romance as well. The leads communication with and support for each other is one of the best i have seen in a kdrama. )
Angel's Last Mission: Love(Fantasy-ish. Very somber tone with some silliness in between, stellar acting of both leads but in particular of SHS. Huge Us Against Fate vibes)
Tomorrow With You (Melo-romance mix up with a bit of sci fi mixed in. Super supportive, affectionate (married) leads of the strangers to spouse learning to live with and love each other kind)
Link: Eat, Love, Kill (Slice of life/thriller mix up with romance. Lots of trauma and its differing effects on people and their lives. Gets quite dark at times, but has also a bit of (black) humor mixed in)
