The Light in Your Eyes (2019)

- both have a theme/storyline around healing, healing, healing
- definite tearjerker
- also centers around family relationships (very complicated family relationships) and friendships
- plotwists!
- romance
- overall both stories that you wish you could watch for the first time again!

Beautiful friendships, strong females, and thought-provoking scenarios. Also, both are slice-of-life genre.

I haven't watched Chocolate yet so I might have to return to revise this recommendation eventually, but from the preview and reviews it reminds me a lot of Dazzling. Of what it kept its characters afloat (for instance, eating was always emotional) and also of its flaws (development much too slow, tropes all about—the plot was weak compared to the characters—and a focus on older people or death).

The focus relationship is between a young people and older people. They both have a similar dark reality concept that really makes you feel for the characters.
