On the surface, both of these shows seem vastly different. From the titles down to the summaries. One is marketed as a romance, while the other is focuses on feminism. The characters Ta Mi and Najai (Jubjang) are similar in many aspects. Like the protagonists in their respective stories, both women are strong, career-driven, dedicated. Both mid-thirties women get swept off their feet by a much younger male lead whose only goal is to show them true love.
Each story has its setbacks and problems within the commitment to one another, sparking its own story. It also doesn't hurt to point out that Arlan and Morgan were music composers and producers for their respective industries. Each of these young men where steadfast when it came to their own feelings as well as their partners. They allowed for that view of toxic masculinity to be shattered, they felt their feelings as well as allowed their partner to feel them as well. One of my favorite aspects of both stories is not the romance though those are breathing taking and make your heart flutter which each confession of love. What had me glued to the screen were the women. Each show had three women who had a love, hate, friend relationship. Where these women made past mistakes, and decisions were made that affected each other. In 'I Need Romance,' Najai, Kiss, and Priew had what 'Search: WWW' Ta Mi, Ga Kyung, and Scarlett had; an enemy turned friend. These stories also showed that these women could have so many different kinds of emotions all at once.
