Hidden Love

Fluffy first love, cute happy female leads when they were younger.. both dramas leave a lingering sweet feeling for a long time

Both have:
- Modern romances
- Low stakes
- Cozy vibes
- Secret crush
- Girl pursues boy

They're both simple and easy to watch. Hidden Love focuses more on youth and the school environment, while A Romance of the Little Forest is more about career and young adult life.

Both series have the vibes interms of interactions between leads. HIDDEN LOVE features cute moments, giggles and light hearted conversation between leads through the time( both past story line and today). STARTUP THE ENGINE shows those moments in a limited way and only for the leads romantic relationship. The vibes, theme, jokes and feelings if the scenes are the same in both

If u like Zhaolusi drama then this is a must watch, it's a historical drama but it's worth it, everything about this drama is great the side characters everybody will leave a impact in ur heart

DAE is a sweet romance even though is not fluffy like HL (a rom com). It's darker than HL but not too much. It's about two troubled leads who support and help each other as they resolve major matters in their lives. It's surprisingly good!

If u like Zhaolusi drama and yang yang then u hit a jackpot with the most amazing chemistry and a greenflag ml and fl with a healthy relationship, it's a historical drama with a great plot it's a big brain drama

Very similar vibe in terms of romance, vibe and chemistry between leads
- Deals with an age gap
- Deals with differences in financial situation between leads
- MATURE AND UNDERSTANDING RELATIONSHIPS
- cute and dedicated MALE LEADS LMAO
Though story wise and how their romance plays out is very different but I can assure you'll get the same feels from both the dramas
- And the wait for them to get together is WORTH IT!

Both start out in high school and have an age gap between the leads with the younger one chasing the older.

Although the plot is different both Dramas are very cute.
Both stories started off as a crush and developed further. So if you enjoyed Hidden Love (which i'm sure you did) you may enjoy Crush as well.

Both dramas show young love and school scenarios
The FL in both has an unrequited love for the ML which is not reciprocated at first but soon the MLs fall in love with the FLs
