Love Designer (2020)

Fashion, low EI male lead, Assertive - Passive FL, love interest as$es. Like able ML struggling with family issues.

-both in the fashion world
-in both of them the ML has a company
-in both of them the FL is a unknown designer

Both are modern dramas about entrepreneurs working together to expand their online clothing businesses. Johnny Huang stars in both. Love Designer has an early start to romance that quickly gets to the passionate stages with strong chemistry and maturity between the lead characters.

Both are played by talented actors and actresses. Both are romance dramas. Both love stories at work. The female lead is equally persistent.

Both chinese dramas have romance, female fashion designers, bussines and rich male lead who chases/loves them. Plus these two dramas have similar name (at least it sounds similar to me).

Mature romance and relationship. Both female character broke up with ex because of cheating. In both dramas the female lead have their own career and think for themselves. They have a BFF with their own love line. In both dramas the main lead come to live in the same place. In both dramas the parents of the female lead control their daughter.

Fashion themed drama with CEO ML and independent designer FL.

- FL works for competing company
- Both ML are competing CEOs interested in FL
- FL is interested in design/fashion
- Misunderstanding at first meeting

But Love Designer has more mature FL.
General storyline is different.

male lead of both story is the boss of a company and fall in love with the person they work with. also the female lead best friend close relationship and love story give the same vibe. male lead in both story also have younger sister that ship the main couple relationship.

In both drama Mature male and female lead in both drama
And they have mature relationship
Both drama include designer occupation
In "hello my shining love" male lead is a tenant in female lead house and in " love designer female lead was a tenant in male lead house.
And in both dramas they were kind of neighbour

similar in terms of the BFF friendship of female lead... both drama have a strong friendship wher female lead BFF always have their back and be there for their friends

Both the lead main roles are about a fashion designer that has found themselves in big trouble. The storyline is also a little similar, however, the plot is completely different. I think "love designer" is a good binge-worthy drama to watch during quartine.

Love Designer is a more grown up version of My Love, Enlighten Me. Better production as well.

There love was so real and the actor and actress killed their roles making it looked like real. If you are a sucker for real love watch this drama. Their kissed are so real.......
