A love story between a 33-year-old woman who does not trust love and a 26-year-old man who dreams of pure love.
He returns to Korea after seventeen years living abroad, but she only remembers him as a kid... It's a similar plot.

- Both are noona romances where the ML falls first AND falls harder!

- The leads have a supportive relationship

- The FL is the ML's boss in Sunshine By My Side (and I think that it's about time we had more of this representation in the drama world #GIRLBOSS!)

- Warm, cozy cinematography <33

A slow and romance drama, mainly about the ml, it is sweet and quite like mln, also the scenes are kinda warm and dark like mln. Yeah that’s my observation ?

Both drama's focus on relationships with an older female. They deal with how society will feel about them, what their families with think. Overall though they are both light-hearted cute, and heart warming. both couples have really good chemistry and are great at pulling off the feeling of a young man trying to aspire to be more so he feels comfortable enough for the woman he loves, while the woman is trying to find herself, and figure out what she wants in life regardless of what other people think.

They both focus on the relationship of an older woman and a younger man. Their both filled with a lot of passion, chemistry and tension.

Both main female leads are single in their 30's
Both main male leads/ love interests are the bests friend's younger brother
Both of the younger brothers come back from a long trip and then is "somehow different" to the main female lead

Both are noona romances abt a older working woman falling in love with a younger newly joined collegue

I can see you lot, shaking your heads in disbelief: What? A BL and a K drama?!?
Oh yes!!! Both have mothers from Hell and are about sexual harassment at work. The main couples have incredible chemistry and so many steamy hot scenes(as much as it is possible on Korean main channel tv!). And they are so madly in love....

Love Next Door and Something in the Rain have a similar slow-burn romance and a very grounded, realistic feeling. Both focus on two people who already have a connection from the past and slowly realize that their feelings for each other are deeper than they thought. Family expectations, career struggles and the fear of changing a long-standing relationship also play a big role, making the romance feel more mature than a typical rom-com. Both dramas also have that warm, everyday-life atmosphere where small conversations, quiet moments and simply being around each other become more important than dramatic romantic scenes. The biggest difference is that Love Next Door is more playful and comedic, while Something in the Rain is much more emotional and serious.

While I was watching this japanese drama I was constantly reminded of SITR. Why? It is a noona romance. The woman (who behaves like a doormat) works in the office and is a victim of ordinary office harassment. Meeting a fake rebel, gives her the courage to fight back. There is even a mother looking unkindly on this relationship. This drama is less angsty and much sweeter than SITR but the korean drama has the best chemistry ever!
