I feel like LHF is a lighter and funnier version of The First Frost.
TFF is emotionally very heavy and represents trauma and its effects. LHF isn't that emotional (yet).

The main characters of both dramas share a house.
They start off with banter and bickering, but then slowly get comfortable with each other.
The characters understand each other very well.

Both Yifei and Sang Yan come off as cocky, silly, and maybe a little arrogant, but they're actually caring and kind-hearted.

Yes, these dramas have more differences than similarities, but I find them both easy to love and comforting. Hope u guys love it too.

Ambiguous sort of step sibling relationship between male and female lead when they are younger. They split for reasons and then get back together when they are older.

If you liked The Legend of Kitchen Soldier, you’ll probably also enjoy Memories of the Alhambra.
Both shows play with this idea of “gamification” in storytelling, where things feel like they follow game rules instead of just normal life. In *The Legend of Kitchen Soldier*, that shows up through structured challenges and a sense of progression, like moving through levels and earning skills. Memories of the Alhambra takes that same concept further. It centers around an AR game that blends into reality, so mechanics like quests, combat, and leveling actually start impacting real-world consequences. It still has that game-like structure, but it’s more intense and suspense-driven.

Both stories explore young love breaking up, but finding their way back to each other after years apart.

Both share similar themes: young leads with opposite personalities falling in love; FL baggage from family trauma; painful break-up; and adult leads meeting again while ML initially harbors resentment.

The vibes carry a balance of nostalgia and growth, of warmth and heaviness, and of yearning and healing.

(plus, even the titles match~!)

About and gods and demons.

If Our Secret is one of your favorite youth romances, Never Ending Summer deserves a spot on your watchlist. What made Our Secret so memorable was the way Ding Xian and Zhou Si Yue grew from classmates into each other's biggest source of support. The romance wasn't rushed—it was built through years of shared experiences, quiet encouragement, and the feeling that they understood each other better than anyone else. Never Ending Summer also gives me that same emotional pull. Just four episodes in, Zhou Wan and Lu Xixiao already have the kind of connection that feels deeper than a typical school crush. Like Our Secret, the story takes its time, letting the small moments do the heavy lifting. Every conversation matters, every glance means something, and you can feel a life-changing love story slowly taking shape.
The difference is in the tone. Our Secret feels hopeful and comforting, while Never Ending Summer carries a layer of nostalgia from the very beginning. You don't just watch them fall in love—you watch them create memories they'll carry forever.

If Our Secret made you believe in growing up with the right person, Never Ending Summer might make you happy and sad cry about it (prediction).
