Dragoste printre Rânduri (2019)

I rarely get SLS for 2fls but these 2 dramas are like that. both mls are in love with their friend who doesn't know it
one gets married and the other rushes to a marriage just so they're not lonely while never having courage to confess and win over the obv better man who is their friend

first of all! the amazingly deep dialogues and theories about life from each character perspective that really sticks with you.
-slow paced with gruadually blooming romance
-deals with problems about family as well as survival in today's world
according to me both the dramas give a very comforting theme where instead of pining over any kind of villanizm and waiting for a typical hero-villain knockout, u just sit back and relax while watching it. your mind is stimulated in a very deep way which makes u internally satisfied
it has heart touching dialogues and carry a similar slice of life theme

1. Both the female leads have humble beginnings who are trying to sustain themselves on their own as well as are providing for their families simultaneously.
2. The leads in both the drama have childhood connections.
3. Workplace romance where the male leads are in a professionally superior position and are still trying to support the female leads both financially and emotionally as much as they can.
4. The sub plots of other coworkers comes off as equally impactful and touching as the main storyline.

Similarities:

1. Noona romance where ML loved FL since childhood, but she marries someone else.
2. ML and FL reconnect as adults after FL has divorced, friends to lovers.
3. Flashbacks that show how the relationship developed in the past.
4. Multiple ensemble couples at different stages with their own stories.
5. Low key, mostly realistic slice of life problems and plot development.

Extremely similar in tone, storytelling and production too. The major differences are in LIS? FL is a CEO while ML is low on the career ladder, the age gap is larger (FL 35, ML 27) and SML in the triangle is FL's ex-husband. The spice level in Tdrama is also higher than Kdrama.

- Both are very poetic
- Feel-good and refreshing dramas
- Boss/Employee Relationship + Poor Female Lead
- Might potentially give you second lead syndrome!

-Leads have been friends since childhood.
-FL is a single mother.
-They both are denying their feelings for eachother.
-They start living together.
-They work at the same workplace.

In both the drama the FL lies in her resume and gets an entry level job even though having prior work experience in higher role.

- Both dramas center around a FL in her 30s attempting to adjust to a new environment (academia, the workforce) after years of being a homemaker
- The FL is a mother and has a troubled marriage (leading her to eventually be with the ML)
- The leads knew each other prior and are just getting reacquainted

Both series are about women getting back into the workforce after taking off to focus on raising their families. They both have to start at a lower-level job then they previously occupied and their romantic interests are both younger men who are their superiors at work.

Divorced FL with a child trying to get back into the workplace, having to fib on resume to get a job. Younger love interest who is essentially a boss.

Romance is a Bonus Book is MUCH better, scripting, acting, themes, execution etc.

Similar stories but Romance is a Bonus Book has much more depth and life lessons as well as better chemistry between leads than My Dear Lady.

Both take place in the publishing industry. While Romance is a Bonus is about publishing books, Juhan Shuttai is about publishing manga. Both show the struggles the staff go through to publish, promote, and sell a book.

the two stories are adult romance dramas that take place at work and in both they end up living together .

Green flag ML in both who are genius in their fields and younger than the FL... FL in SAHPH is more classy while in RIABB FL is more of a quirky gal....

Similarities lie in the office setting and the constant support of the MLs for their FLs.... Both have green flag MLs... with younger man/older woman trope....

I love these friends to lovers genre but when they add the age gap it hits the spot! If you have not already seen this drama check it out!
