Both are school dramas which have several enjoyable side characters. The Leads portray their youthful characters very well in both, even if they are actually older actors cast to portray teens.. I guess that helps with time jumps for when they are young adults and no longer students. The story in FYTWFMB also follows the characters as young adults and the drama in their close circle of friends and frenemies. Both have vibe of friendships and relationships over time. Also romance.

Both dramas follow the main characters from high school to adulthood. Both female leads have similar personalities: quiet, innocent, righteous, unreadable and the kind of people who do not chase after love but rather admire from afar. The male leads are more persistent although not as much as in other romantic dramas. In both cases it begins in a light and carefree way, but becomes heavier as the stories proceed. Both tell the story of an abiding but not necessarily fulfilled love. I feel like they are very similar on many levels, maybe this is already evident from the two titles that somewhat contemplate the fleet of time.

They are both stories about how high school friends like each other but stay as friends for a long time because one of them is always with someone. Even when their with someone they are always there for the other person. The couple ends up dating after one of them has the courage to confess to the other because they don't want to lose their best friend if they break up.

they are under the same genres: romance, school, youth, friendship, childhood love, slice of life.

I honestly enjoyed both dramas. :)

These two dramas are very similar. Both have the themes of school times, friendships, and romance. only difference is the relationship dynamics and the stories behind them.

Love @ Seventeen features a guy who spent time things about the girl and Fifteen Years features a girl who spent time thinking about the guy.

L&P starts in college while FYTWFMB starts in high school, but in both the main leads get off on the wrong foot and start to fall for each other before the male lead is sent to prison because of a betrayal. The leads reconnect afterwards.

Both dramas tells the story of two people and the development of their friendship and romance over time. Or we could also describe both dramas with the song: Friends, Lovers or Nothing. While in Pretty Man the story spans over the period of 13 years, FYWMB takes us on a 15 year long journey. Both romances take a long time to take form due to different personal issues and misunderstandings, there are many “almost” scenes.

Started as enemies and hate each other but later on change. Leads help each other until college. There's a lot of similarities.
