That feeling...
There is a certain "feeling" i got back in 2016 when i watched my first ever Asian drama, a japanese series called "Good Morning Call". I can't quite put into words what the feeling is. It comes in different forms, but still just seems the same each time.
All I know, is that this feeling is somehow interlinked with dramas that show a certain type of city street, some sort of shabby-ish indoor business such as a shop or restaurant MUST be shown regularly, and also sometimes hazy camera quality or fuzzy audio quality. I think shows from the early 2010's (for Kdramas) and mid-late 2010's (for other countries), seem to capture the feeling best.
Again, I cannot put it into words what the feeling really is, but i still want to compile a collection of shows that make me feel this way.

This show is the definition of the feeling.
I watched it when I was 12, on the brink of finishing primary school.
This show is forever ingrained in my mind and i rewatch it multiple times each year.
"That feeling" characteristics:
- hazy camera quality
