1. The Eighth Sense

Depression themes. Mental health themes, good perspectives in there too.
The colour of the shot = the mood -
2. Love for Love's Sake
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
Cheesy, depressing, but ultimately feel good and hopeful through pain.

3. Old Fashion Cupcake
Japanese Drama - 2022, 5 episodes
"Anti-ageing". Has a bunch of sayings related to aging and seeing the world through a child's eyes
because it makes days longer because we learn things everything. Instead of just rotting away. -
4. Restart after Come back Home
Japanese Movie - 2020
Need to rewatch. My note was about "finding meaning in life" more than start up a romance imo.
-
5. A Shoulder to Cry On
Korean Drama - 2023, 7 episodes
Not as hopeful, but some mental health themes.
Not as deep with it than other in this list, but its there. About blame game and getting past it a bit. -
6. The End of the World with You
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
About realizing mistakes and regret. A lot of mental health related plot points.
Not a very happy sparkles show, but hopeful nonetheless. -
7. Why R U?
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
Side couple = interesting. Themes about "having no purpose in life" and "making everyone like you, but no one at the same time" I get what I mean. Not wanting anything strongly in life, just being.
