Love like lines have a more better and mature plot and leads.Hoping for a happy ending then similarity will be HE aswell.

One of the most obvious connections lies in the casting—both dramas feature the same male lead, Chen Xing Xu, which already sets a familiar tone for longtime viewers. Beyond that, the narratives themselves share a similar concept, as both explore stories set within a virtual or online world. While not strictly portraying ordinary real-life settings, these dramas present a form of digital or alternate reality that creates a comparable storytelling atmosphere.
Additionally, both titles fall under the modern romance genre. For audiences who enjoyed Love Between Lines, My Page in the 90s is likely to be an equally appealing watch—especially for those who have already fallen under the charm of Xiao Zhiyu.

Both feature past construction accident and both revolve around the architecture industry. ML from Love between Lines and 2ML from Rain or Shine share similar story.
Rain or Shine is a bit heavier and it's based on a real tragedy, while Love between Lines also depicts immersive mystery VR game.

Insted of a VR game, its a virtual hologram "game" based on real humans.
The hologram is the reason why the leads meet, where in LBL, its because of the vr game.

Both has:
- Modern times.
- Digital tools (VR game on one end, and Hologram/ Artificial Intelligence on the other but seems like a game)
- Romance
- Light hearted romance
- Some mystery.
- Nice and hardworking female lead.
- Hidden Identity
- Rich Male lead

- Both seem kinda sad/depressed before they meet the male lead.

Both female leads, from each drama, have had some sort of tragic event happen, in their past.
LBL's Female lead: Left by the alter and not able to move on/finding your own identity
MHL's Female lead: Has prosopagnosia, the inability to recognize faces. Because of her "past".

Work place romance. Love between the male boss and female employee. Second male lead is the boss of competitor company. Female lead is independent, hard working, and pursuing a career that she is passionate about. Female lead has a supportive girl best friend.

Chen Xing Xu is the male lead in both dramas. In each story, the male and female leads live together for a period of time as roommates and work in the same profession. My Boss centers on law, while Love Between Lines focuses on architecture. In both dramas, the male lead also serves as a mentor to the female lead.

Both dramas center on protagonists who use Virtual Reality (VR) games/simulations to escape the pressures of their daily lives. In Love Between Lines, the leads connect through a Republic of China-themed murder mystery game, while in Boyfriend on Demand, the lead uses a subscription service to date "perfect" AI boyfriends.

DAE is a sweet romance even though is not fluffy as LBL It's a bit darker but not too much. It's about two troubled leads who support and help each other as they resolve major matters in their lives.

If you liked the identity mystery aspect ( falling for someone's talent/persona before knowing their face), this is a lighter, fluffier take on that theme. It focuses on the world of professional voice acting and gaming. It's much lower on the 'thriller' scale than LBL, but it captures digital connection to real-life romance beautifully.

-Is beautifully cinematic and features people in the arts
- Features a romance between a mildly older genius of the field and a newer entrant into the field
- Female lead had a terrible relationship that just ended making her tentative to start anew
- Male lead has ongoing personal issues that make it hard for him to commit and keeps a lot of secrets

Nevertheless: The Shapes of Love is quite slow and dreamy a little bit too serious, but it stuck with me a lot and is worth a try

Okaay… so basically,, I made this recommendation because of the mushroom scene… I previously thought that those hallucinations won’t be as cute if you eat poisonous mushroom.. but some Chinese and Thai series proof me wrong.. ??
