The Chinese movie 'Love Life Light' and upcoming Korean series 'Light Shop' are the adaptations of webtoon "Shop of the Lamp" by Kang Full.

"Serendipity's Embrace" involves a storyline where the female lead (FL) ends up with the male lead (ML) despite the FL's best friend having a crush on the ML, it does share a thematic similarity with "20th Century Girl." In "20th Century Girl," the FL also deals with a complex love triangle involving her best friend and the ML.

One is the movie, the other the mini drama sequel.
