Deep Affection Eyes

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 sweeter than L&P.

Both have the older female lead and younger male lead vibe. The female leads are more outgoing than the male leads who seem calm, reserved and introverted. The female leads are career oriented type of women. Both stories start off with the “from grass to grace” type of vibe for both male leads. Both male leads climb their way up from growing up in the village to finally spreading their wings to the city life after meeting the female leads. A bonus is the good fashion sense which is common in the female leads ?

Both coming back to hometown.
Both flirting female lead and calm male lead.
Steamy kiss and sexual tension kind of.
Adulthood relationship.
Both male lead taking care of cute grandma.
It's actually very same vibe.

it has same vibe and same direction of the story. i would genially recommend as it feels same romcom
