Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo

There is romance between 2 childhood friends, though they do not get together. The main couple's relationship and personal traits are quite similar, they give the same feels, they are especially lovey-dovey

This drama is about a female figure skater, Lee Haru, who is hoping to make it big. Her life gets complicated when she reunites with her step-brother, Shin Hwal, after many years of being separated. Hwal's father and Haru's mother died tragically in a car accident. Hwal and his friends; Hae Yoon, Hyun Tae, and Sang Hee all work at the same ad agency. While Haru is trying to make her dreams come true, she unintentionally brings together her skating coach, Choi Soo In, and Hwal together. Haru starts developing feelings for Hwal but things are complicated further as Soo In is her brother's estranged wife.

Both shows have college life and friendship as main plots.
It includes first male leads who suffer from trauma since childhood because of their parents.
The female leads support the male leads to overcome their hardships.
Weightlifting fairy is more comedic but at a distance, spring is green is more dramatic.

- strong female lead

- nice, kind male lead

- childhood friends

- crazy chemistry between the leads

- the girl kinda "wears the pants" in the relationship and drags the guy around (but he loves it)

-College dramas settings
-Both male leads are swimmers who went through a traumatic past holding them back from starting to practice swimming in a normal way again...
-Female leads are hardworking, athletics: rock climbing-swimming/weigtlfting and skillful in their majors!!
-Dramas are having funny moments and enjoyable to watch
-Second female lead standing between first leads who is a part from the past of male and jealous for him being only interested romantically in first female lead
-Not complicated stories and light to watch...
-Friends to lovers tropes
-Cheerful and best friends supporting characters
-Female lead is orphan and one member of her family is facing a health problems...

While both plots are completely different, the feeling the shows invoke is highly similar. Both have absolutely adorable couple scenes and extremely nice refreshing male leads

both My First First Love 2 and Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo were similar in the way they were both light and cute friendship dramas...

both male leads are the sweet dorky kind. while the female leads are different from the usual representation of a female character in dramaworld.
both couple also are a "friends to lovers" kind of a ship~

idk it just reminded me of the thumbnails/pics lolol

I haven't watched this drama yet
I watched when we were young years ago lol

Not the same but both have family, friendship problems and romance. Weightlifting fairy is more likely about a group of college athletes who are fighting for their dreams, experiencing and finding love in the process. Pus have main lead Nam Joo-hyuk who is a swimmer in both.

Super cute and funny, same kind of hilarious but sweet vibes.
There are character differences in regards to ML in weightlifting fairy being more playful, but that heartwarming, hilarious hijinks feel is similar.

Both have athletic female MC and male MC. Both female MC are strong and tomboyish. Wild romance is set with adult in their late 20s/early 30s (female body guard/ pro baseball player) Both shows are funny however i felt Wild Romance to be funnier but at the same time more dramatic.Both are very sweet romantic comedies where personality wins over traditional good looks.

Although completely different shows with different age ranges (college vs adult romance), both kdramas are relatively uncommon for showing healthy relationships; neither relies on push-and-pull tropes in the second half to keep the main couple apart. Both couples lean on each other in order to get through their individual issues without any major communication issues. Both are very heartwarming shows.

fun, friendship based. WLF has slightly more romance but both are light-hearted shows and bingeworthy.

They're both sweet, light-hearted dramas. The girl is very tomboyish and likes to fight. The guy slowly falls in love with her while spending time together.
