Creating a green space in the house or apartment can be a good solution to raise our mood. In fact, the green color in all its nuances, combined with the purifying action of plants, enhances not only one's mood, but also quality of life.

Crash Landing on You (2019). This Korean drama tells the story of Yoon Se-ri (Son Ye-jin) is a wealthy heiress who, while practicing paragliding, crosses the border with North Korea due to the strong wind. Not knowing how to return home, he meets the young Capitain Ri Jeong-hyuk (Hyun Bin), who offers to help and protect her; the two fall in love, although there is constant and mutual tension between their countries. The first plant is the one that Se-ri gives to Captain Ri to thank him for the hospitality in North Korea, a cherry tomato plant that the Captain will have to take care of and will also be at the center of some fun banter between the two leads.

When the drama moves to South Korea, greenery is present in two environments: Se-ri's appartament and her office. The space dedicated to these plants is very large, in the office it occupies the entire wall behind it and the chosen plants are mainly succulent plants, even of considerable size placed in terracotta pots. This living wall contrasts sharply with the decor of its modern and luxurious office, but its presence clearly improves air quality. In his apartment, on the other hand, the green space consists of the large terrace, in brutal style (béton brut) accentuated by the use of open concrete and the presence of the unrecealed structural elements that highlight the expressive power of the structure. This area is enlivened by the presence of relaxation armchairs with warm tones and numerous plants arranged along the entire perimeter of the terrace. The area dedicated to greenery is mainly the terrace, but the plants are present in all the rooms, in fact the generous size of the apartment allows you to choose them even large and of considerable height.

Itaewon Class
It is possible to create green spaces that are simpler and easier to create such as Park Sae-ro-yi's veranda at Danmab in the drama, Itaewon Class (2020). This drama starring Park Seo-joon (Park Sae-ro-yi) tells the story of a young man whose life was first disrupted by expulsion from school for defending a classmate from a bully, the death of his father and prison. Despite these painful events Sae-ro-yi decides to follow in his father's footsteps and open a pub in Seoul's cosmopolitan Itaewon district, the DanBam to become the best in this restaurant industry. The terrace of the DanBam that Sae-ro-yi decides to make more current is a very well-kept space both in colors and in the choice of plants. It's an environment dedicated to pub-goers, but it's a green use of an open space. In fact, the wall that Sae-ro-yi is finishing to fix is also possible to recreate it in a small terrace using special self-supporting structures to place the vases.
