An Incurable Case of Love

恋はつづくよどこまでも ‧ Drama ‧ 2020
A cold man meeting and reluctantly falling for a warm and quirky woman. And there is the thing with him calling her baka/idiot in both dramas - apparently in Japan it's a sign of a great romance...!

Shibasaki Himari (27) is a cheerful and straightforward woman who works at a PR company. Despite her bright outward appearance, she has a strong sex drive, and a history of breakups caused by sexual incompatibility has left her with lingering emotional scars.

One day, as more and more of her friends get married, Himari begins to feel anxious about her own future. As usual, she vents her frustrations over drinks to H?j? Kazumi, her best friend since college and now also her coworker. Unlike Himari, Kazumi has shown no interest in finding a long-term partner and seems completely unconcerned about it. However, when Himari says she wants to meet someone she is truly compatible with, Kazumi suddenly suggests, “Why don’t you try it with me?”

Surprised by this unexpected proposal from someone who had always seemed to keep a certain distance between them, Himari is conflicted. Yet despite knowing they are best friends, the two end up crossing that line. As a result, their relationship, once built on complete honesty and friendship, begins to change.

They could always be honest with each other as friends. They thought friendship was enough. But burdened by their respective pasts, neither had been able to take the next step. Now, as they move beyond the boundaries of friendship, they find themselves caught between friendship and love in this sweet yet risky romance.

ML is a doctor who appears cold at first but has a warm heart. Sweet romance between ML and FL. Characters met years before then reunite later.

While Doctor John is more serious, I think these two dramas have a similar tone. The romance is similar, and both are sweet and heartwarming dramas about the medical world.

A love at first signt and a unconditional love from the male who with effort and clumsiness will make the heart of the women he love.
Recommended by Yunatsuki
Similar in a way because both are in the medical field...and both "met" again after a long period of time...somewhat similar...but the only difference is that the FL in Koi wa Tsuzuku...is the one in love with the ML; while in Doctors, its the other way around...

I found it similar with Goong because both of the series have resemblances within the story--She fell first but he fell harder. Both of the series also have a cold male lead and clumsy--warm female lead.

Other than that, I found resemblances between Yoon Eunhye and Mone Kamishiraishi. Aren't they looks similar? Their expressions, also some of their facial features similarities made them look alike compared to each other.

Both series take place in hospitals with the main character pursing a career in medicine to aid/get closer to their crush.
Recommended by Lacquered Teeth
Both series heavily feature medical aspects with there being a younger woman who enters the field to get closer to an older man that she loves.

•Cold genius ml with a complicated past and a bubbly cute fl who pursues him first despite the rough beginning of their relationship.
•In both drama the main characters are next door neighbours.
•That backhug after that incident scenes are pretty similar.

+ Both ML are cardio-doctor with stoic face and less expressions, they both tsundere but caring about the FL. I found the character pretty similiar in a good way, they can be cold and warm at same time, they have their own charisma so you'd fall in love with each of them.
+ FL fall in love with ML at first sight. they both also pursuing him non-stop and showing growth in her character. Even tho the FL a bit clumsy, but I love how unbothered ML when he was with her.
+ No unecessary drama, third party, or whatever used in dramas. They are pretty quick solved their own problems.
+ So manyyy fluffy-stuff, cringe yet not much, so it was enjoyable to watch their lovey dovey scenes.

Anw, BOTH are good and recommended dramas ^^

It has that Bubbly Female lead and Serious Male Lead trope.
Takes place in hospital.
Supportive and not-bitchy co workers.
Light hearted.
Female lead takes the first initiative.

Personally one of my all time favorites. Its not dark has good morales. And a bonus of really good poems.

Both have a female lead that is trying to make the male lead, who happens to work in the same place, fall in love with her. Both male leads are stand-offish, to varying degrees. In the workplace, there are other males colleagues who are interested in the female lead as well. In the end, both couples have similar results.

Both shows center around a young girl's effort to fulfil a dream that was inspired by a strict but supportive older man at the top of his field. The male lead falls for her charming determination. Their stories are supported by well-rounded secondary characters and endearing side stories.

KoiTsudu / Love Lasts Forever is set in the world of nurses (and doctors), while Kono Koi Atatamemasuka / Warmed-Up Love is set in the business of convenience store sweets.
