Snapshot into Lives
Really literally just Slice of Life. I'm just annoying and like to play around with my titles >.<
Kinda a little more than Slice of Life though, these dramas are also a bit more realistic in it's approach. (This doesn't mean sad or bittersweet btw!) They also, unless really a Slice of Life from the past or something, are based in the present time. As well as have a focus on the character's lives more than something in the plot.
