9. Hospital Playlist (2020–2021)

Further down the line, we have Hospital, but with a South Korean aesthetic — and much more heartwarming.

7. Kingdom (2019–2020)

6. Abyss (2019)

Wouldn’t it be just great if there was, after all, some sort of divine reward for leading a good life — and punishment for being a bad person?

Together, they try to establish common grounds, develop their relationship — and, of course, deal with the feelings brewing between them.

4. It's Okay to Not Be Okay (2020)

Why do polar opposites often attract each other? Because they hold keys to each other’s healing.
