2. An Untitled JTBC Project
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
sometimes, the female lead would share her thoughts ... and i related to them just a little too much. this show felt like someone went inside my head and took my thoughts in the best way possible. because yes, somtimes, we don't even do much, but everything feels too exhausting. and if the world just ended now, we wouldn't even mind. this was calm but felt like a storm sometimes.

3. Bun-venit în Samdal-ri
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
a beautiful show about second chances in general, not just love. a second chance to appreciate your roots, to find closure, to grow and mature. don't watch this because you expect revenge, it's so much better than just revenge.

4. Cha-cha-cha la Malul Mării
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
it's so beautiful to see the female lead let her guard down the more you watch the show. the side characters and their stories add to the show feeling comfy and warm yet fun too! especially because those stories are rather female centric of all ages: a teenage girl, the female lead and the pregnant store owner, the restaurant owners who are only slightly older and the town's grannies! the show is like a breeze and such a good rom-com!

6. I Don't Want To Do Anything

this was so beautiful and calm, the slight romance, the friendships being formed, the found family, the life reset. just such a nice show.

7. Meet Yourself

this show felt like a gate to let go of my feelings and i will always love it for that. sometimes, too many side stories, but overall such a good healing drama!

a nice project for PMY to show that she doesn't just do office rom-coms. this was calm and slow, but also very warm and healing.
