Dear Mayang Street (2020)

- Similar settings and era

Friendship
Youth
School-college-working life
Focus on real-life problems

Hardworking and cheerful characters

So for the reason i did these two is because
1) neighbors
2) in the same street
3) forgot how many family living there
4) starts in the 1980s
5) it has well known actors

They both are high school love stories. Here Li Xia is like Ma Xiao Xiao topper and serious. The character of Lu Zhi Ang and Yi Dong Dong is also somewhere similar because both of them are funny and easy going.

Both are nostalgic, bittersweet dramas revolving around the lives of the families that live in a neighborhood, following the kids from high school to working life. Both have a love triangle where the "endgame" ML is introduced more like the SML, with the FL having a long term crush or friendship with the other ML. Both of the couples get together in the final episode after years of him having a one-sided crush on the FL.

Both are a trio of friends/love triangle between two MLs and a FL who live on the same street. Both have a nostalgic feel with the FL starting out crushing on a different ML than she ultimately ends up with.
