    Depression themes. Mental health themes, good perspectives in there too.
    The colour of the shot = the mood

  • Love for Love's Sake

    2. Love for Love's Sake

    Cheesy,  depressing, but ultimately hopeful through pain.

  • Old Fashion Cupcake

    3. Old Fashion Cupcake

    Japanese Drama - 2022, 5 episodes

    8.5

    "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.

  • Restart after Come back Home

    4. Restart after Come back Home

    Japanese Movie - 2020

    9.0

    Need to rewatch. My note was about "finding meaning in life" more than a romance imo.

  • A Shoulder to Cry On

    5. A Shoulder to Cry On

    Korean Drama - 2023, 7 episodes

    8.0

    Not as hopeful, but some mental health themes.
    Not as deep with it than other in this list. About blame game and getting past it a bit.

  • The End of the World with You

    6. The End of the World with You

    Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

    9.5

    About realizing mistakes and regret. A lot of mental health related plot points.
    Not a very happy sparkles show, but hopeful nonetheless.

  • Why R U?

    7. Why R U?

    Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

    6.5

    Side couple = interesting.
    Themes of "having no purpose in life" and "making everyone like you, but no one at the same time". Not wanting anything strongly in life, just being.
