A bubbly simple romantic story between an author and his editor.
Why would I put this up on recommendation list if it doesn't have any similarity to the plot of YYXH.
Well the reason being, if you haven't have enough of male lead and female lead's chemistry, check out their modern drama!
- the ml, fl and sml are same actors in both the stories.
- it is a sweet romance story with healing elements (venturing into relation between parents and child, and relation between two former work partners), so if you need a light romcom watch with healing genre!
- the drama doesn't follow the typical misunderstanding plots, though some of the actions of the main leads can be childish and funny, they handle their relation very maturely, not allowing any misunderstanding, so misunderstanding troupe haters, voila, you have a recommendation on your list.

Another school drama which focuses on life of students. Their exam pressure. Their growing stage.
Love the fact how each student has struggles, and everyone is trying to overcome it to certain extent.
The teachers have great work together. Maybe these teachers do not have a very significant role in dealing with students personal problem, but the students are very supportive of each other.
They, as classmates and friends are helping each other. The parents seem to be playing a good role too in dealing with their problems.
Overcoming their onset boundaries and striving for a practically better future with dreams, motivations, and happiness of being high school students!
