In both shows the male leads realizes his feelings for his long time best friend first but is afraid to confess because they are afraid that once they break up they can't be friends anymore.

-The leads knew each other as teens, after a family trauma resulted in the FL moving to a small town to live with her grandmother and aunt. When the FL moves back as an adult following a workplace incident, she begins working at the ML’s bookstore near her home.
-Their feelings grow from friendship to something more.
-Slowburn.

Best friends, that grew up together, live/start to live together and that feel more for one another. Both stories are quite similar, the only big difference is that while More than blue makes you get out a big box of tissues, Soundtrack draws a big smile on your face

Both are about childhood friends turned lovers
Dramas have feel-good vibes and the leads have great chemistry.
Soundtrack #1 shows an unrequited love that blossoms when the leads are adults, yet road home both leads fall in love with each other since their school days

Best friends to lover trope. Something happens and they have to sort of live together and slowly feelings get revealed and confessions made.

Best friends, that grow up together realize as an adult that they mean more to one another. In both dramas the male lead realizes his feelings first and the female lead slowly realizes them too. Cute dramas about a similar topic.

Best friends grew up together, their professions are helping one another and slowly they start to realize that they mean more to one another.

Both leads grew up together, are best friends and end up living together. Both couples have feelings for one another. The only big difference is that in I need Romance 2 the couple already dated before.

The plots and scenarios are really different, yet it shows how painful unrequited love can be
Both leads are childhood friends

Both short kdramas
Both revolve around the topic of music
Both follow leads who want to follow their dreams

Both are cozy, short, romantic Korean dramas about a love story between characters who've known each other for years, with one secretly in love with the other.

Both dramas have:

- a cinematic, artsy, poetic feel
- a slice of ordinary life, and love between ordinary people
- both have beautiful last scenes

But, even though 20th Century Girl is 2 hours shorter, it has better flushed out characters with backstories, friends, families than Soundtrack #1. Also, even though the characters are underage in 20th Century Girl, it features a more mature and developed romance.

#longfriendship #friendstolovers #pureromance dear m and soundtrack #1 is the drama where they have feelings for their best friend . It’s kinda a pure and melodrama but the story went without any flawless . It’s not a best unique story , its just a story like another Asian uni life drama . And all actors were pretty good at acting even though some are new to it .
I can compare many scenes and script between dear and soundtrack#1
