Our Secret is top tier but somehow Our Beloved Summer immediately reminds me of Our Secret from the start. High school to adulthood and how they grow and face relationship challenges. Their breakup also due to the same reason, family struggle. Overall, both are beautiful love stories.
Both of the couples are deskmates in school, the MLs are intelligent and a bit cold but quietly loves the FL. The FLs are a poorer student and helped out by the ML.
Both cdramas depict life in high school with secret crushes and friendship. Both male leads are great basketball players and admired by their classmates. Both male leads act so cute when they are jealous.
