So I think I'm looking for an TTRPG system that would essentially run a soap opera. Rules light is a plus, really something from the old "one-page rpgs" would probably be perfect. I want to focus on the narrative part and have a simple resolution mechanic that's favors social encounters because combat isn't part of the game.

If you guys were about to run a soap opera game, what would you reach for?

If you want to add the meta of roleplaying the actors in the soap opera there's an old system called "It Came From the Late, Late, Late Show". It's a small booklet, around 20 pages if I recall.
