All you need to do to feel better is get comfortable, pour yourself a favorite hot beverage, and watch a soothing show. Luckily, there is no shortage of such projects on modern TV. Here are six K-dramas fans on Reddit recommend for escaping life's hardships.
It's Okay to Not Be Okay (2020)
As the title suggests, this series is about healing emotional wounds by finding comfort in each other. This is exactly what happens to the main trio, antisocial children's book author Ko Moon-young, her romantic interest and psychiatric ward caretaker Moon Gang-tae, and his autistic brother Moon Sang-tae.
Kill Me, Heal Me (2015)
A rich heir who suffers from dissociative identity disorder tries to take control of his life with the help of a first-year psychiatry resident before one of his seven identities takes over his body. Although the show deals with some difficult topics, it's a truly comforting experience.
If You Wish Upon Me (2022)
Inspired by a true story, the plot revolves around a man who joins a group of volunteers that fulfills the last wishes of hospice patients. Through helping others, the protagonist discovers himself and accepts his troubled past. The best way to describe the show seems to be 'wholesome.' It really makes you feel good.
Because This Is My First Life (2017)
An awkward IT guy, who is also a landlord, and his tenant, a broke writer, agree to marry on paper because it feels like a good idea. However, sharing a home and common values, and dealing with personal traumas and societal expectations, changes their platonic relationship. The ultimate cozy show for long fall evenings.
It's Okay, That's Love (2014)
When a headstrong writer and radio DJ suffering from OCD and a young, opinionated psychiatrist meet, explosive chemistry ensues. Initially reluctant to give in to each other, the two gradually grow closer and heal each other's deep-seated wounds. The show teaches an important message — you can still live a full and happy life despite any psychological trauma and/or illness.
Summer Strike (2022)
One of the best of its kind, Summer Strike visualizes the dream we all have from time to time: to leave an old life behind and find a beautiful small town to start a new one. That's exactly what the protagonist of the show does, which leads to the kind of chill vibe that we all long for.
