The overly used drama or movie trope but still manages to capture our hearts:

"Bestfriends turning into lovers"

Will get you frustrated sometimes on why they have to deny their feelings for so long, but then again, you will understand that, they do not want to ruin the special friendship that they have. But will finally realize that it is worth to cross the line and go on and follow their hearts. In the end, love wins for everyone.

Saimori Miyo was the unfortunate child of a loveless, arranged marriage. After her mother died, her father brought in his lover and her own daughter, Kaya. From then on, Miyo's life was reduced to that of a mere servant. Even worse, while Kaya inherited the family's psychic abilities, Miyo had none—she was truly the daughter with no merit. After years of being treated like dirt, Miyo has learned to keep her head down, hide her pain, and obey every order. So, it comes as no surprise that she is arranged to be married to Kudo Kiyoka, a military captain rumored to be so cruel that he has driven away every one of his potential wives so far. From a painful upbringing to a painful marriage, that's the future that awaits Miyo—or so she thinks. Contrary to her expectations, her new husband is actually kind-hearted. What really awaits Miyo is a blissful, everlasting marriage full of happiness!

In Time With You is yet another Taiwanese Drama you really don't want to let go. It may be slow paced at times but yet there is indeed sweetness there. :D

The original version of the story. Both has similar story just the scenes were remade

The main girl and the main boy is best friends of 14 years. Both dramas are focused on the friendship that will create love between the two of them

Has the similar 'Friends To Lovers' theme but is the best version of this I have seen. There is interesting direction and the characters are fantastic.

In Time With You and Apple in Your Eye are similar Taiwanese dramas in the sense that they're both stories of two people who have grown up loving each other in a non-romantic form however end up loving each other romantically in the end.
While Apple In Your Eye is about a man and woman who grow up as siblings while the man secretly harbors feelings of romantic love for the woman, In Time With You is about two best friends who have known each other forever and have always dated separately but the man has secretly always been in love with the woman.
Although I can easily pick favorites out of these two, they were both VERY emotional (in terms of feeling for the guy who has loved the girl forever and has to hold his feelings back) and beautiful dramas that showed aspects of friendship, family and love. Both dramas feature emotional male leads for have to face the horror of loving a woman who only thinks of them as family.
Although both dramas are pretty darn good and worth your time, my personal choice of the two would be In Time With You. It was FANTASTIC. Loved absolutely everything about it.

Both stories are laid back and focuses on real-life issues without being over the top about it. Both male leads could be considered losers who tried to change
Both female leads are self centered but that flaw makes them real and easy to connect with emotionally

Time is a woman's enemy. On her 30th birthday, Cheng You Qing received an e-mail from Li Da Ren, her male best friend of 14 years, about the symptoms of premature aging. Unable to bear the fact that, as a man, Li Da Ren is likened to a fine wine that gets better with age and that as a woman, she is likened to a grape that will dry up like a raisin over time, she makes a bet with him to see who will marry first before they turn 35.

As she scouts for a potential husband, she finds that despite whoever she meets, there is always one person whom she can be totally at ease with and who is willing to put up with her independent, ill-tempered and stubborn personality - her best friend, Li Da Ren.

The only problem is that the both of them had already sworn to each other that they would never fall in love with each other.

They have both the "Bestfriends turned lovers" theme... Like, you are already secretly in love with your bestfriend, but you guys are still denying it, keeping it, or don't wanna ruin the friendship...then another guy comes along to emphasize more how the male bestfriend will get jealous and actually admit to himself that he is really inlove with his bestfriend...But will not do anything about it...till fate just makes them end up together...sweet...
