Similarities:
- Both involve the entertainment industry.
- Enemies-to-lovers vibes.
- MLs are both the famous
- FLs are both the non-famous half of the couple.
Differences:
- FL in SS works directly with the ML in the industry within the PR team whereas in LMBYK FL finds her self working with ML due to a coincidence and her circumstances.
- ML and FL have a history in SS whereas in LMBYK they had not met previously.
To be honest I was watching SS and it just really reminded me of LMBYK (although the plot itself is different). So if you haven’t seen it already give it a try.
