Way Back Into Love (2020)

I guess Daddi Tang really likes playing those childhood secret admirer roles.
Similarities:
- Were childhood friends
- FL moved back home then ran into ML
- FL gets hired at ML workplace as a worker that is not in the same field (accountant for software company and lawyer for hospital)
- FL has strong sense of justice/motivation
- ML is a bit cold and has many admirers but is sweet to FL

-both are office romance (boss/employee)
-both leads knew each other from youth school life to working life
- got separated and met up later again
-both kept their relationship from others in the beginning

both dramas are very cute and interesting

boy have a crush with the girl... later separated due to circumstances and met again when they are adult and lead them to love each other again.

both are set in similar setting, a start up company trying to establish their own brand. way back into love shows the struggles of trying to make it in a saturated IT market.

The Chinese drama "Way Back Into Love" is the adaptation of the original Taiwanese drama/series called "Way Back Into Love" which was released in 2011. It's Chinese adaptation, "Way Back Into Love" was released in 2020 casting Daddi Tang, Sun Qian and Wang You Jun as the lead roles.

The major difference firstly I'm gonna mention is ; that way back into love jumps from high school into adulthood whereas first romance simply jumps from high school to university life, but the basic similarity is that in both the dramas, both leads were each others first love which they couldn't able to declare or confess due to certain misunderstandings and circumstances but later at a different stage of life they met again, realized their feelings and their love was able to bloom.

- Boss-employee relationship
- FL tries to quit job
- ML and FL has some previous history (although its different)

WBIL is more light-hearted
