Kdramas are so great if you watch the right ones. I think they're actually amazing for lower mental health times. I find reading the subtitles helps me even more to "forget my life." A few excellent ones on Netflix:
- Rain or Shine (this has a justice element to it, if you enjoy that)
- Crash Landing on You (careful that this one doesn't ruin all others for you, ha)
- Extraordinary Attorney Woo (about an autistic attorney, really lovely and endearing)
- Start Up (a bit more escapist)
- Castaway Diva (a bit more escapist)
- It's Okay Not to Be Okay (a bit more escapist)
- My Mister (sad but hopeful)
- Our Blues (lots of overlapping stories of enduring and overcoming sadness in life)

Maybe you need some therapy, OP. Watching movies to forget about your life sounds so sad.

The Big Year. Jack Black, Owen Wilson and Steve Martin are competitive birders. Funny, of course, but also mildly serious.
