High quality dramas, both beautifully written and give a healing vibe, like a warm cozy hug. Hope both of end are the start of an era where male characters are all green flags.

Persuade dream for years of painfully waiting for opportunity, disappointment, desperation etc. Talented but competition is high. Persuade dream.

Want a new drama to watch and searching for a good plot that makes you feel happy and healed? these two are good choices. Second chances are real and it's never too late.

SPOILER ahead:


Want happy endings but still get a beautifully written drama? These are the ones for you!

The best offers Netflix had this year, both beautifully written and they focus on second chances with a fantasy theme.

30 but 17 is a romantic comedy about a 17 year old girl who gets into a car accident and spends 13 years in a coma. When she wakes up, she has to relearn how to live life as an older woman. Diva of the deserted island is about a woman who spends years on an uninhabited island and has to relearn how to participate in society.

"Missing 9" and "Castaway Diva" have different plots and genres, but they have similar concept about people being stuck in a deserted island. Both dramas shows the survival of the characters and how they went back to adjust in the society. It also focuses on the entertainment industry with celebrities.

These two dramas have the same vibes. It's centered around youth and music, and how they make those dreams become a reality.

The screenwriter's other series.
Looks like Castaway Diva. This drama is also about youth and dreams of becoming a singer. If you liked Castaway Diva, you might like this drama.

Both Hometown chachacha and Castaway diva are amazing shows.
Healing like a warm cozy hug paired with excellent acting. Enjoy!!!

Both have:

1. A ML and FL who bonded through a past traumatic incident and were separated. ML searches for FL for years to protect and repay her.
2. Super sweet slice of life cohabitation where the leads learn from and heal each other.
3. A complicated sismance between FL and SFL.
4. A thriller plot with a shady figure from the past who has it out for the leads.
5. A fantasy feel but mostly realistic.

And written by the same writer! The romances feel similar since they're based on the deep trust and understanding between ML and FL. Both also have inspirational career journeys, a large cast of characters and some tragic situations, but are heartwarming stories about people overcoming adversity and failures in the system through helping and supporting each other.

Beautiful scenery, soundtrack and an acting masterclass. A lovely war cup of team for the colder months or a fresh ice tea for the summer.
