If what you loved about Blueming was:

- the soft romance,
- emotional vulnerability,
- gorgeous cinematography,
- and two people slowly becoming each other's safe place,

then Our Youth is likely to give you a very similar feeling, even though its pacing is slower and its mood is more wistful.

For those who would like to follow Yoo In Na and Lee Dong Wook's work, here is their 2019 drama. Many consider it their "third" life.... as Sunny and the Grim Reaper.

For those who would like to revisit special memories with the cast and watch the show again. Such great memories!

Currently Airing as of July 21st
Both sort of "red flag" (not really) tops
Both Chinese BL's (side note: both of the live streams for the actors in Deep In and Bittersweet love have like crazy chemistry)

- Both are BL dramas with a friends-with-benefits to lovers relationship
- Both are set in the workplace
- Both have the ML falling for someone that isn't his stated type
