You Are My Glory

Its a romantic drama, both drama have ex partners appearing. Both ML are China's top tier actors, some mischievousness will happen E.g Brother adding "Married" based on the requirement to work at the Law Firm, Playing a game with your high school crush without him knowing then pretend to have issues with a purifier to get his attention ha!

1. Strong, independent & charming main leads.
2. Story traces back to past encounters of the leads.
3. Separation after middleschool & reunion after overbecoming past wounds/in the process of overcoming present wounds/hurdles.
4. Wholesome, passionate, swoon-worthy development of love story.

Both dramas are about a FL chasing after the ML.
You Are My Glory shows you an unrequited love from school days and A Date With the Future is about a 10 year old promise from a 15 year old girl that was rescued by a 20 year old guy.

Both ML are very dedicated to their work, to a point where sometimes they neglect themselves or family. Either ML are very paused and quiet men. They show everything about them more through their actions than their talk.
Both are reserved towards the FL but once they commit themselves to their partner, they are all in and they let the FL know it.

Both FL are very strong characters, who want to succeed at work and in their love life.
Either FL are very outgoing and fun to be around.

Both dramas portray a very healthy relationship between FL and ML where both parties make mistakes and grow closer together by working through them.

Both drama have interesting supporting characters (the wise boss of both MLs is actually the same actor ;-) ).

Also based on a novel by the same author Gu Man.

Boss & me also hav minor references to Gaming. However do note the dynamics and screenwriter is different. Some changes to the novel. Theres also interference from 2FL which was annoying to say the least.

Slice-of-life romance of mature adults with a bit of drama and enough comedy.
- ML is somewhat lost in life in the beginning, thinking of changing or actually changing careers.
- ML are rather reserved but nice.
- FL approaches first and warms his heart. She herself doesn't need saving, she has an established life of her own.
- There's a lot of trust and mutual support in both relationships.
- Well written smart dialogs full of meaning.
- No love triangles or evil characters (there is a secondary couple in Run On).

The greatest difference is the amount of chemistry (YAMG couple is HOT, RunOn couple is very tame).

• Similar Vibes: If you loved The Best thing, you will definitely enjoy You are My Glory. Both dramas share a beautifully crafted urban romance formula that focuses on mature, realistic, and comforting relationships.
• Green Flag Relationships: Both shows feature healthy, mature couples with zero toxic drama, minimal misunderstandings, and no annoying love triangles.
• Mutual Support & Growth: The main leads deeply respect each other's careers and stand by each other through professional challenges, showcasing a strong partnership.
• Calm & Devoted Male Leads: Just like Yu Tu, the male lead in The Best Thing is an intelligent, gentle, and dedicated professional (an aerospace engineer vs traditional Chinese medicine doctor) who loves deeply and quietly.
• Healing & Slow Burn Pace: Both dramas offer a cozy, slice of life atmosphere that serves as a perfect comfort watch.

_____________________________________________________________

These drama is very sweet , as the title says but it is also very relaxing.Dosen't have any conflicts, misunderstandings or even if they do have they are solved from the start , fight scenes and oders unnecessary things , just love and happiness. If you don't like those break ups scenes this drama is for you and i'm sure you'll enjoy it.:)

DAE is a sweet romance even though is not fluffy. It's not dark either. It's about two troubled leads who support and help each other as they resolve major matters in their lives. It's surprisingly good! DAE is not rom com like YAMG, but it's also sweet.

nothing similar except that one of the leads is a celebrity while the other is a commoner, of course in YAMG the FL is the celebrity and the ML despite not being a celebrity is celebrated (in the show) for his ridiculous good looks. (not surprising as it is Yang Yang whoo also does a great job with his acting chops)

Both these dramas are romcoms about two ex-schoolmate meeting again.

Female lead is an actress in both dramas while male lead is at a crossroad in his career.

The story not necessarily the same but the plot might be (school friends reunited in the future type of). It also has the same director, and lots of supporting casts are on both drama!
