Mom’s Friend’s Son (2024)

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.

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.

"Meet Again". Here We Meet Again and Love Next Door is similar because in both dramas FL and ML met again after years of separation. In Here We Meet Again, Xu Yan Shi and Xiang Yuan used to be high school friends back in the days, they eventually got separated and met again after years. I think it's similar to Love Next Door's. After all, two friends did meet again in both dramas after becoming full fledge adults.

Similar type of fluff. ML like FL since forever, FL likes someone else but then likes ML after something happens. Similar bickering. FL family in both work in some restaurant.

Similar feel to drama but different plotlines.

Though there’s an age gap in Hidden love, the premise is still of 2 people who’ve spent their early lives in a friendly borderline sibling relationship uncovering/developing feelings for each other in their adulthood. Watching the shift in their dynamics gives a similar heartwarming feeling in both. The ost, color palette and lowkey slice of life vibe are well done in both

Both have leads that knew each other in childhood/youth and and meet again as adults in a romance.
In both the FL returns to her hometown, where she meets the ML again.

Good casting in both too!

30 years of friendship to lovers stories
Writing full of wit
Great relationship between the leads and evident chemistry...

Hoping for LND to be as good as 9E2O to recommend in more detail...

- Both dramas include a love story revolving around childhood sweethearts.
- The parents of the leads are neighbors/ friends in both dramas.
- The leads are very competitive and bicker with each other in both dramas.

These two drama hve similarities in:
-Childhood friends to lovers
- female lead gets unemployed
- male lead runs a company
- cute second couple
And overall they are both sweet romcom to enjoy watching
