Somewhere Only We Know is different in that it's more of an enemies-to-lovers type story, but the Li Ting Ting's character in this drama and in Somewhere Only We Know are very similar. Additionally, there is a lot of character development in the side characters, which makes it an even more enjoyable drama to watch.
