Mental health in Kdrama's
We're all looking for different things in our kdrama's, in case a character that's working through some issues speaks to you, here's a list. I've noted the mental heath related topics in the comments for each drama.
!Important detail!:
Not all of the things I noted are explicitly mentioned in the shows. Some are just highly hinted at or suspected by viewers so take them with a grain of salt.
