Both FL are in the elite status of their fields with great track records. Both have EXs whom were also in their field of work.

ML and FL in both dramas worked together in the same company/industry. Both FL just broke up with their partners and are very hard-working experts in their respective fields.

This depiction of the teacher student relationship in this drama is very similar to Lesson in Love. Main difference ML is not privileged with money and power or he is not a bully.

ML-Falls in love with Teacher. Smart
FL Dedicated to teaching and her students

They connect over their love of math.

The premise of the teacher student relationship is the same without a real age gap. This drama is more of a comedy as opposed to this heavy weight feeling drama.

Drama about three women instead of two in their thirties dealing with love and life. The two college friends are married. One couple is struggling with an apathetic husband and the other is the model for a perfect marriage. The third friend is someone they befriend later was never married who is focused on her career.

This 2019 Chinese romance drama is a remake of the popular Korean drama I Hear Your Voice. It has the same premise of the childhood connection and age gap but except with the cutie pie Jin Han.

I love these friends to lovers genre but when they add the age gap it hits the spot! If you have not already seen this drama check it out!
