Also, dramas tend to show the conflict, struggle and emotion (emotion is a very important part of drama) that working class people go through, they also have many story lines based on a main character who may manage to overcome something towards the end of the production (for example, in our film, the main character manages to overcome her depressed state), or the drama may leave us on a cliffhanger, leaving us as the viewers to wonder what will happen next.

Dramas also tend to use non -diegetic music (music that characters cannot hear), this also adds onto the emotions that are felt by the viewer, dramas also tend to use shot-reverse shots that inform us that a conversation is taking place between two characters and, also, the two shot to show the viewers the certain type of connection between the two characters.
