Dear.M (2022)

College romance? Yes
Rooting for Second Leads at times? yes
Characters having a rough time? sadly yes
The OST? AMAZING
Happy ending? Aye ???? (of course!!)
Amazing life quotes, swoon worthy quotess? yes yes yes

Watch At A Distance, Spring Is Green now!!

Both dramas are set during school days
the leads have close relationships as they grow up together and even their parents are close
the start to develop feelings when they got older

Both drama convey campus life (study hard, competition, part-time student).

dear m is based on this show. the show hasnt been released yet so idk how similar they will be but dear m is based off of love playlist so they should be similar!

>Story is totally different. But in my opinion, female leads look somewhat alike. Like, you have to watch it to believe it. Park Hye Soo is the Korean version of Zhao Lusi.

>Story is alike in a way of the dorm set up. Like, the 4 girls in a dorm in Hidden Love is similar to the set up of 3 girls in a dorm in Dear M. Also the 4 boys (the brothers friends) are dorm mates too in Hidden Love and share stories of their love lives. Same with the 3 boys in Dear M.

>Both have dorm mates with stories of love life of each of them I guess. In Hidden Love, its just 2 out of the 4 girls is "dating".

>Maybe its a stretch, but sure, the ML in Dear M is also harboring a "hidden love" for his best friend since he was in high school. So its also classified as "Hidden Love" right.

Just like in' Dear.M' 'School 2017' also has the story about an anonymous person.
This story also shows the plot 'YOUTH', FRIENDSHIPS and RELATIONSHIPS.

- college setting
- multiple characters and couples
- ML falls for FL first (while FL likes 2nd ML)
- cute, fluffy and youthful

the female lead and male lead, are friends in both dramas
In both dramas, there is a confession that needs to be solved.
in both dramas, it deals with college life

While Romance Is a Bonus Book is about adults rather than college students, the dramas are similar because:

*both take place in the fall and really emphasize the autumn vibes,

*both feature a very sweet, caring, and thoughtful ML who does kind things for and takes care of the FL even before they are a couple,

*and both focus on a long-time friends to lovers story with a love triangle.

Both dramas are set in College days.
Both dramas revolve around friends and classmates hanging out together ( They eat out together, go on trips, fall in love, breakup, etc)
Both have love triangles and unrequited love
Even the soundtracks are somewhat similar and give off the same vibe
The leads have been through hardships and have been raised in unfunctional families

The slow and steady quiet burn for the FL from the ML are kind of similar. How they seek to be quietly near the FL. That's about all that's similar, but I find that kind of ML with that kind of quiet burn is hard to find. It's the vibe that's similar and not the actual story or character.

Both dramas show childhood friends turned into lovers with so many misunderstandings
Both are set in school days and show the students' family backgrounds and past.
Both have cute soundtrack selections
There is a love triangle in each of them
One has a strong unrequited love

Both dramas have leads that are best friends, mean everything to each other and have a close bond.
Both dramas have the ML liking the FL and trying to keep those feelings in check
Both dramas have a turning point when they cross the line into possible lovers

Both are idol dramas
Both have a “mystery” that really isn’t a mystery
Both have a light feel to them while trying to be a mystery
Similar type of story telling
Both about young people
Both have friend group of young adults going through struggles of finding their way

both based in high school, fl getting an anonymous confession and trying to figure out who it is from
