Looking for a mature and uplifting drama to watch.

'Unkind Women' is airing right now and I'm thinking it's like this. Maybe it's a bit makjang with the plot twists but still. The women in the series have their own circumstances: a grandmother meeting the woman her husband cheated her with (and somehow striking an odd friendship with her), a mother continuing her feud with the teacher who kicked her out of school, the daughter caught in love triangle with this teachers sons, the single and established aunt struggling with her age and work... Especially with the grandmother's plot, I'm feeling that "unique" bit.

'Let's Eat' is a really lighthearted, funny one. Single people, neighbours, their life and food. The romance is there, and it's comedic, but it's not that kind of PSH-thing you want to avoid.

'Best Wedding' has mature themes pointing out the patriarchal society and struggles of single mothers. Not that kind of slice-of-life drama like 'Misaeng' but I think you might like it.

I think you might enjoy Yoo Na's Street. The male lead, Chang Man, moves into a house where several people live, most of them with criminal records. He wants to help them lead a "cleaner" life, especially the female lead Yoo Na, but most of the drama is just about following their day to day lives. There is romance between Yoo Na and Chang Man, but it's not the focus of the drama. I loved that it felt like watching regular people and in that sense it really reminded me of Misaeng. People with criminal activities might not sound as relatable as the office workers in Misaeng, but they all seemed more realistic and human to me than your usual drama characters and I found myself understanding their problems pretty well^^

Secret love affair is pretty good actually, and it has a good casting too
