Healing dramas - therapeutic/catharsis content.

Dear All. This is my private, ongoing "healing drama" list*. I've tried to honour more or less popular dramas that gave me a "therapeutic" feeling.  It's either the literal theme of therapy/healing or the healing that comes from the storyline and development of the character.  It might be also a typical "hero's journey" - finding yourself,  feeling the meaning, getting into mojo or healing old wounds. 

Enjoy and feel free to leave recommendations!  

Which drama helped you to heal? Be a better person?

*no particular order as I'm trying to dig them from my memories (which drama/characters stayed with me during past years? what kind of life lessons did I take?)

    I've felt the character's inner struggle. It helped me to connect to my personal traumas.

  • Meu Ahjussi

    2. Meu Ahjussi

    One show that made me seriously think about life and personal choices.  And asking the basic existential question: "Am I a good human being?"

  • Tudo Bem Não Ser Normal

    I didn't expect to get anything from this drama. I've learned about mentality, respect, importance of human connections. And hope.

    Time-travelling themes usually don't get into my heart/mind.  But not this time. Lesson of the importance of timing, love, family. And all the things we're taking for granted.
