Love Endures (2024)

Lasting friendships from childhood
Friends to lovers
Relationships: family, friends
emotional


Both have romance but the romance in Love Endures is well-established and believable.

Both are abt childhood friends who grew up together and rely on each other. Each with their own troubles and secrets. Time gap in both.

Gives the same vibes and both abt childhood friends. While watching so funny youth at least 60% of the drama contains similar aspects to 199 love.

there is a part in Love Endures that deals exactly with the ai concept of Wonderland. in both there is a theme of grief and how one deals with it.

The Friendship arc is similar but Witty is less Angsty and full of sunshine while LE takes a slice of life turn.

Huang Ying Zi, Jiang Yi, Fang Ming Yu, Zhuang Yuan, Lan Yi Fei, and Guan Chao all grew up together in Hangtian City, and they became known as the "Hangtian City F6". The good friends had promised to be together for the rest of their lives but were forced to abandon their promise because of an incident in the year of their Gaokao college entrance examination. Twelve years later, at the age of 30, they each walked alone on their respective paths of life, working hard and growing up in the adult world. Suddenly, one day, they received the news that their good friend Guan Chao was about to get married. With the help of Huang Ying Zi, the old friends reunited during the wedding, and their memories of youth slowly unfolded. Only then did they realize that the feelings that had sprouted when they were seventeen had never dissipated, and there were many misunderstandings behind the accident... in fact, the friendship that stayed in the past had never ended.

Both appear to be lighthearted but they are heartwrenching. The biggest similarity is the ambience.

both youth dramas about long term friends who liked each other in high school but fell apart for some reason. years later, they reunite and consummate their love.

both cute.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
