If you need a new high-drama TV show to binge on, we suggest the likes of Love To Hate You and The Good Bad Mother, which is about a mother and son's relationship having a second shot after years of trauma. Or how about Love (ft. Marriage and Divorce), which follows three women who are all thriving in their careers as they navigate the highs and lows of their rocky romantic relationships? Something else that is similarly a light-hearted watch is Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, which sees an intelligent dentist meet a handsome stranger after moving to a seaside town. We're sold!
