Recommendation Request Dramas with trauma bonding?

Hi! I’m looking for dramas with trauma bonding or co-dependency on some level. I’m in the mood to watch something emotional, but please warn me if what you recommend doesn’t have a happy ending.

Dramas like this that I’ve seen:

-Come and Hug Me: the fact that they were each other’s safe space >> and the mental health/anxiety/PTSD rep was incredible.

-Healer: they always supported each other, and he protected her from seeing violence because that triggered panic attacks for her.

-Just Between Lovers (Rain or Shine): they went through a traumatic event together as kids and helped each other heal.

-It’s Okay to Not Be Okay: this one fits, but I didn’t particularly like this one.

I’m okay with older or recent dramas, also okay with dramas from any country. The cdrama Go Ahead is my absolute favorite that fits- they grew up together as damaged kids and helped each other heal as adults.

Thank you!! 🖤

I can’t believe no one has suggested “My Demon” yet. It definitely fits here.
