Our Beloved Summer

Couple dating each other from early teens.
Become exes and met several years later.
Both are rom-com

If you're into stories where ex-lovers meet again after years apart, both *What Comes After Love* and *Our Beloved Summer* will be right up your alley. *What Comes After Love* leans more into the romantic and mellow side, with deep emotional flashbacks and a sense of longing and regret. On the other hand, *Our Beloved Summer* brings in similar vibes but adds a fresh layer of humor, making it a bit more lighthearted. It perfectly balances the nostalgia of past love with moments that’ll make you smile. If you’re in the mood for something emotional yet fun, give *Our Beloved Summer* a try!

Both have post-breakup interview format. The male and female lead explain their sides of the story.

In both dramas main leads were friends in their childhood and meet again as adults when female lead is struggling in life.

They both have the same vibe and are more character focused.They also have the realistic portrayal of characters with a well written storyline

FL broke up with ML and went on suffering on her own before meeting again. ML was kept in the dark about the breakup and was heartbroken for years, resulting in his resentment towards FL. Both dramas begin with their lives several years after the breakup.

Both dramas feel similar, in concept, the way they were shot and produced (documentary-like).

The Producers tried to focus more on the "the behind the scenes" aspect of producing a tv-show, while Our Beloved Summer focused more on how to film a documentary about random people, and of course mainly the romantic relationship between the leads (which is way more interesting in OBS)
In both dramas there's an idol whose sole purpose is the same (even though they have opposite tempers), to show us some hardships of an idol life : no friends, no real free time, dealing with fans and anti-fans, no privacy... AND to have their first impossible and one-sided crush on the ML !
If you liked The Producers, you'll probably enjoy Our Beloved Summer, I don't know about the other way around

They used to be in a relationship but separated. For a long time they meet again.
I think they both have good comedy. Of course, in this series, the girl's failure in life is portrayed more.

Entertaining big families that come close to heart.
The way both dramas deal with family-only dynamics is peaceful.
Full of comedy.
Heart-filling romances.
Double in-law couples.

Something in the Rain is quite similar to Our Beloved Summer in terms of the overflowing chemistry between the leads and the overall realistic feel and portrayal of a relationship.

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

Very similar, both leads have dated each other back in college for a long time and the female lead broke up abruptly. The male lead wanted to be harsh and flaunt his success but couldn't because he didn't get over their breakup. Both female leads had personal problems which made them break up. Soft male leads in both dramas.

It gave me the same slice-of-life vibe.
You just see the normal life of normal people, who mostly goes through existencial problem, and somehow begin to go over them because they've been helped by their friends.

It's arround the drama/documentary/filming life too.

Both shows are slow-paced, and it doesn't feel rushed or anything. It just... takes the right amount of times.

Both shows have the capacity to make me cry just by seeing one of the characters on the screen
