Love Next Door

A better version of childhood friends to lovers trope. - their parents were friends.
-grew up living together.

the time capsule, he having a secret crush since high school, him having an injure and not being able to swim again, meting each other after a long time, both losers, neighbours, both male leads missing swimming

In both dramas, the FL is dealing with relationship issues (TBT still in a toxic relationship, while LND deals with the aftermath of breaking an engagement and other issues). Both MLs are such green forests. Both dramas are ultimately healing, comforting and sweet.

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

Main leads know each other since their childhood and male lead helps female lead when she is struggling after growing up.

"Love Next Door" and "Fight for My Way" share a strong resemblance as both are cute romcoms featuring long-term friends who bicker, support each other through life's struggles, and gradually develop romantic feelings. The main characters in both dramas live close to each other and have a tight-knit bond with each other's families, adding depth to their evolving relationship. The natural progression from friendship to love, filled with sweet and relatable moments, makes both dramas heartwarming and engaging for viewers.

- both were childhood/high school friends to adults
- both known each other for many years
- both went from friends to lovers
- got that similar kinda vibe, friendship, youth, romance type shi

It's the same director-writer duo and handles with the female lead taking a turn in her career. Both of them are perfectionist too, while the male leads are more laid back, though they have their struggles. Both of the dramas center around a neighborhood.

similar slice-of-life theme. emotional rollercoaster, although less than WLGYT but more romance filled!

it seems like a classic romance withalso the bond of mother and and child. And it is similar to neighbour relation.

Both dramas are similar because of the female leads first love and by the some situations their first love is not workout anymore and their relationship where over.

What is both drama main focus? Yess, friends to lovers

What they both have in common is that they tell the story of a female lead who is a hardworking woman that faces difficulties in her love life (but in LND the female lead quit her job at the beginning of the story), and a male lead who secretly likes her and is always there to accompany her.
Also, both female leads have more cheerful and passionate personalities while the male leads are more calm and stable.

The differences are, LND is more comedic ones and IDLYY is more melodramatic, although there is comedy tags in genre categories.

Both have the same basic plot:

FL returns to her hometown, where she meets again her childhood friend/crush, which then develops into an adult romance.

i just think if you like one you’ll like the other, the fl’s have such a similar personality and they’re both romcoms with similar vibes
maybe they’re similar because they’re both 2024 lmao

Well, I can copy the recommendation by KAELEE for Doctor Slump, that is:
"VERY SIMILAR!!!!
We find:
- the male lead who is a respected professional (in this case a doctor instead of architect)
- the female lead who stopped her career
- always the female lead who broke off her engagement and hides the real reason from her family
- the conflicting mother/daughter relationship
- the leads were known young
- the male lead gets along well with the parents of the female lead".

No new ideas for new dramas?
