Backstreet Rookie (2020)

GENRE
- Business

CHARACTERS
- FL falls for ML and FL works for/with ML
- FL's attitude: strong, capable of offending others
- FL is about a decade younger than ML
- ML liked someone before FL

The two are set in a convenience store, and there develops a sweet romance.

"Backstreet Rookie" is a 16 episode drama with a duration of 1 hour, so here more stories develop. It's not just romance.

Meanwhile "Convenience Store Fling" is a web drama with a short duration, which focuses on romance.

both have very positive vibes, funny and fresh relationships, both have age gap (older male) relationship and quite similar female leads: brave, strong, beautiful, funny, popular in school, kind of trouble maker very individual girl who can stand for herself. In both dramas girl chases male first, they have very funny and interesting relationship. both are really good watch light but not stupid dramas. Hello Mr. Right was better drama for my taste, with more depth and complex plot/characters (though both are light dramas)

The plots are not similar, but both dramas have a FL, who had a crush on older ML for a long time. Both are quite enjoyable and switching to Backstreet Rookie might be a nice change of pace to a more comedy centered drama, while still showing the innocent love between a younger FL and much older ML. The actors in Backstreet Rookie have a bigger age gap though.

Like Convenience Store Junkies, Backstreet Rookie revolves around convenience stores and has a bold, sassy, quirky female lead.

Both were webtoons first. Both have bright cinematography and are light hearted

Both are funny and have romance. True Beauty is more focused on romance though.

Both have elements of high school, although True Beauty is set in a high school whereas it's a side plot in Backstreet Rookie

The ML in Backstreet Rookie is much nicer to the FL than the ML in True Beauty is to the FL.

Both have funny side characters

Both show sibling relationships and friendships

A romance between a worker and their boss/Love in the workplace. Both shows have funny elements that surely will make you laugh.

+ same female lead
+ also great chemistry
+ FL also has a unique personality
+ Leads work together in the same company / store

the main similarity is that both stories are revolved around working in a convenience store. I have not finished 'the love in your eyes' to know much more but they are both very cute.

This show is also an extremely funny comedy that contains absurd situations and slapstick humor where everything is played for laughs.

As the title states, this is the second Eulachacha Waikiki series. It is an extremely funny comedy using absurd and slapstick humor.

It's a slow romance between two ordinary people:

-the man has a dream about running his business and it's idealistic about it;
- female lead is good at fights...
-the secondary leads are chaeboul or + a rich celebrities
- a couple of strange friends and a gang of guys + gals who befriend them..

Street fights and ordinary business problems... Rich obnoxious parents.

The female lead is an ordinary person who fix her problems by fighting the people who made the injustice. Both females were raised into fighting arts.

Both have a male lead which is calm, composed and thinking.. his counterpart is a female who likes to fix her problems by fighting since childhood and enjoys it.
